Now...wait a minute!

It’s been more than a month since my last post and I just realized that nothing worth blogging has happened to me during this entire time. Safe to say that my life sucks! So Im going to resort to the ancient, time tested trick of posting videos on your blog when you have nothing interesting to say! Believe me, the ancient Chinese have been using it forever!

When you click play you will be watching Part 4 of “When good songs happen to bad guitar players”. Like I always say...’Downsize your expectations to upsize your entertainment.”

One more thing: The flipping at the end was completely unintentional!

Try and enjoy people! It isn't as smooth as I would have liked it to be but feel free to diss or praise ;)

No Ro :D not a great way to impress Layla :)

Roman said...

Lol Golu...
I knew somenody would point that out...but let me tell u (although it seems to be quite pointless) honestly i had this in mind for a long time...just was waiting for video/uploading and etc...

Shrini said...

you know you are a uber SRO fan, when you have already seen the video by searching google videos :P

Anonymous said...

Hahahaha...thanks a lot shrini :D

Hitchcock said...

do you have a third hand that i never saw???? u look orgasmic..and frankly the guitar strumming ain't that good to give an orgasm...
wait wait..u are singing even as i type this in a new tab...hahaahahaha :))))))
don't be ashamed of ur voice..getti ga paadu ra.... lata mangesh....u are the new singing sensation...hahahahahah :))))
cool hairstyle..and cooler stubble..and damn cool banian..tantex aa??? hahahah :))
u are fucking vain man... ee labbe music/guitaring ki video kuda teeyadam..upload cheyyadam.. chi chi.. do u send it to ur parents..so that they can find some unsuspecting village bride for you??? :)

PS: pretty good.. (i have turned over a new leaf..so have to be nice..in every stream of convo :D). also, my neighbor came and asked me...tell me..is that led zep?? singing in ur apt..has to be has to be.. and needless to add..she was a hot femme..she stripped and did woo hoo woo hoo..when she saw who it was...indian hot guy..she'll call u soon... hahaha :) her name's malini..

Roman said...

Sure Anurag...tell Malini to call me...I can be her knight in shining armor and show her arnd! ;)

Golu said...

I agree with anurag...sing louder ro :D Also I am surprised how u managed to get the uber cool look in that vilan baniyan :D

However, going back to my initial comment:

1) Layla comments on ur blog
2) You get all fired up and record this video in a pseudo accent :d
3) You put it up on google video

If one were to note, there was enuf time for u to put up the video :D

Roman said...

Guys...come on...lets get a little perspective here ok...
Its not vilan baniyan...its a normal white tee! My vilan baniyans are all half sleeves! Yeah!

And more importantly...the events mentioned are entirely untrue...I did not get 'all fired up'...I very calmly decided to post a video since there hadnt been any activity for a very long time...cuz im cool like that!

And as far as the accent goes...i think its only fair for led zep that I dont sing their song in my stereotypical 'Tank u...cum again' Indian accent! Right? :P

Golu said...

No I am talking abt the intro BEFORE the song.

Also, dont u like about not getting fired up. I can post your mail here, about you asking me if Layla would find it nice :D

Anonymous said...

nice try ro...enti bey intro lo aa accent endii
arey ask tht anurag chyuth to first listen to the original track n comment on the tone raa..lol..
n btw @anurag:maams another malini story in the making...remind me when we speak next..lol

Karthik said...

Liked the accent. :D

Waise not bad. You might actually get onto FFF if you keep going. ;) You still are gonna have to start playing bass tho.

K

Roman said...

Golu..."This is a song of hope" part? Accent? Really???
Wow...I guess I have to watch the way I talk from now on!!!!

And liar...Dont make up stuff! There was never any such mail! And of course now ull make one up and post it Im sure! :P

Sumanth...Thanks...but why do u have to 'lol' everytime u say something!!!

Duh...No re duh...its not like that! And also...scope only ki Ill play bass!

Golu said...

Ro if u ever play bass for FFF, I'll first kill you and then I'll slaughter Duh.

Hi Roman,
My name is Jennifer and I am a design Engineer at Sarnoff in Princeton, NJ. I was searching for some technical details and somehow stumbled upon your blog. I should say I have regularly kept coming back since then.
Not actively commenting but yes definitely moving in the dark corners of the blogworld.

I honestly see great improvement from the under the bridge video that you had put up. I would not want to be mean, but that was not a great effort, However, irrespective of what the other comments read, I feel that this indeed was a good attempt.

Do keep rocking. I am sure you will have many more ardent listeners soon. If not for listeners, readers for sure. Atleast 2 or 3 of my friends have already got hooked on to your blog. One of them has a virtual crush on you too, but unfortunately for the 2 of u, she is committed and anyway long distance sucks.

tc
keep rocking
Jen

Golu said...

Blaady kn. I do like this video...but all I told u was to check it out and appreciate ro's uber cool look :)

Roman said...

Golu...I would never do anything like that! The only person I have no problem replacing is Viral...cuz I figured he's going to ditch the band anyway to go to Thailand or something! :D

Jennifer...Thanks! And you found my blog when you were looking for something technical? This is a connection I'd love to trace :)
And I honestly feel StH is an easier song to play than UtB. Both are classics in their own regard of course...but playing UtB good takes quite some skill. If you didn't like my 'only intro to UtB' video then I'd rather you stay away from the my full version of it ;)
It is interesting you compare the two...cuz just some weeks ago one of my good friends (Golu) was telling me about how Frusciante is considered the Jimmy Page of these times! I agree unequivocally of course!

Kn...'Fighter you are' as in 'good fight, need to fight some more' OR 'awesome fight, great victory'? Thanks anyway! :P
Dont u know...Golu and I have the world's strongest MAC!


One more thing
Is it only me or did anyone else find that the random hindi song my roomate (who didnt know I was recording) sings fits quite nicely with the music during one of the verses?

Golu said...

wtf when did i say frusciante is the jimmy page of today ???

Anonymous said...

Well, I was searching for a data base of photographs called Vision Engineer. So I googled for "Engineerspotting" instead of "Engineer spotting" and that's how I was led to this place. It might interest you that your blog is the only link that shows up for that search. So you might have coined a new word and you can add that to your blog ninja kitty :)

"ro is a damn cool guy, and apart from coining engineerspotting, he has also created quite a few fashionable lines, and is an athlete par excellence. :) his professor once told him that if he continued in this same vein, he would be the youngest receipient of a Nobel Prize."
