I’m a big fan of Strings and I did enjoy their music, it was the hulla gulla that was fun.HOwever I was very dissappointed in the concert. How can you not have live drums and bass. It’s no fun to play in a synchronized pre recorded music.I’m convinced Bilal is not a professional guitarist. He played very basic rythm throughout the show and the third guy Adeel did a good job in doing the lead and other difficult parts.

You couldn’t hear Bilal at all in the song sohniyeye, the volume of the guitar was too loud and Bilal just couldn’t keep up with him. Well we gotta agree he is really weaak.
How many times faisal tried to pump up the crowd. I think Strings are better off recording their songs in the studios. The music sounds so much better than on the live shows. They also had an unplugged session lol boy it wasn’t good at all. Anyways I still enjoyed. It was nice of Alibeta to find a guy with camera to take our pics with Strings. As always we totally forgot to bring our camera.

I agree, drums and bass would make it sound better but didn’t make a huge difference and considering it was their first tour I would understand if they made a mistake. Their live performance was still GREAT! Didn’t you notice how the audiance was enjoying them? BTW, I didn’t think Bilal and Adeel were really playing guitar, I was sitting in the front row and thought they were just pretending? :S Anywho, I liked the unplugged session, it was nice to hear pieces of all the songs. I think they should tour again, I bet people who came to their concert on the 19th will show up again and there will be a bigger crowd. :k:

exactly…

aww its sad that he ruined sohnieyy in Chicago…because both Faisal and Bilal did a great job with their songs when they were in San Jose. As for the guitars, i was in the front row too and they were live…but i think Adeel was doing a better job than Bilal. Looking at the pics they look cuter in our concert :-p

Sherrybaba - oh c’mon i think you’re just being too harsh on strings. Their songs are way better live than whatever we hear on the recorded albums, especially Faisal is too good.

Hey what did you guys make him eat? You guys made him so sick that he didn’t even have enough energy left to sing ‘sohniye’ properly…
