Shehab's email

Shehab, otherwise known as Megadeth02, is a great friend and fan. It's people like him who make this lousy business worthwhile. Uh wait... this isn't a business, and we have a great time anyway! Still, Shehab's the kind of fan we've always dreamt of having.

Dear Watson Brothers!!

Hi! How are you guys doing? I bet you all are like getting invitations to perform at places like Winter Garden (Sonargaon) and all! Don't forget to give Imran some shares from the concert proceedings! Anyways, I am Shehab, a friend of the revolutionary guitarist Imran from York University in Toronto!

Well I just got your cd from Imran a few days back, and prior to going on about the album, I'd just like to introduce myself in terms of my music tastes. I am an avid listener of heavy metal, rock, alternative and punk rock. My all times favourites are Iron Maiden, Metallica and Megadeth and a hell lot of other known and uknown bands!

I think that the album that you have just launched will take the local music scene in Dhaka to new levels and standards. I have followed the local music scene ever since I was like about 8 years old, I am almost 20 now, so it has been quite a while.

The few things that you have introduced in your album have been, according to my observations, done for the first time in Dhaka. The combination of the whooping bass sound (comparable to Steve Harris' of Iron Maiden) with Imran's distortionless Guitar riffs is amazingly, astoundingly superb.

I listen to a lot of music, but I have never heard anything of this sort before. The lyrics are just perfect, conveying incoherently expressed aspects of things we experience in our daily lives. I was not surprised at Shakib Bhai's gifted voice giving a foremost and final touch to the songs because I have heard him do that before as well, but the lyrics, I assume written by Shakib Bhai are just amazing, they are just out of this world.
And what I love is that each and every song has a lot to tell us, its not like one of those songs in which the chorus is repeated every once in a while! The songs are full of messages!

The first three songs do an amazing job of setting the scene for some top quality show of bass and the distortionless guitar and the drum beats, which variate from high to low sounds. There are times when the drums are played really low with the combination of the distortionless guitar and times when the loud bass and the loud drums are combined. I just love that combination, it is really a display of experience and talent.

Overall I am a lot more than 'just impressed' with the work you have put behind this album. Everything is just different and more impressive than the other local bands. The cover design and the blurred images of the band members! Well done guy! I can't wait to attend a concert of yours!

I am sure that you will cater for a wide ranging taste in the local market, you really have proved that heavy music can be played without distortionless guitar riffs. You really have combined a lot of similar types of music to give birth to something, which I believe everyone will listen to, both heavy metal listeners and for example, soft rock listeners.

I was talking to Imran yesterday about the promotion of the album here in Toronto. We are planning on putting up some advertisements for the distribution and selling of the album amongst the local Bangladeshi community here, which is pretty big! So if you guys know of businessmen engaged in doing export import businesses between Dhaka and Toronto, then do try and do something about importing some of your cd's for sale here in Toronto. I think that the gratifying thing is that people will get to know you more, I am more than sure that that is way more important than earning the few bucks selling the album.

I am really proud of what you have done! And I really love the album! Well I'm glad that at least Imran is here, we can like go to the Stong Pond, and I can hear him play some of the stuff live!!

If there is anything I could do to promote your album, whether here or in Dhaka or anywhere else, do let me know. I can't wait to hear back from you guys!

Your website is just hilarious, I was going to go crazy laughing, but I think you guys need to change it very soon, because to some fans, those first impressions do count a lot, and plus, one more thing is that, every time I listen to your album, it just sounds better. I think that it is a beehive of talents and things to appreciate. Everytime you hear the album, you get to appreciate something new. I am sure you know what I mean!

Excuse me for my unprofessional approach to appreciating your music. I only played the bass guitar a few times, trying to play some Iron Maiden songs, but I soon gave up. So as you may already have understood, I have very shallow knowledge of the technical aspects of music, despite of the fact that I listen to a lot of music!

If there is anything at all I could do for your band, apart from listening to the amazing music, then make sure you let me know! May Allah bless you with a lot of success!

Take care of yourselves and all the best!!

Shehab Hasan
