This is not an ad nor a promotion of the event.
The house of Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Led , AC/DC, Pink Floyd, The Stones, The Beatles will play host to Bombay nights on aug 15!

Maybe nothing for many of you, but the whole notion of Bollywood at Hard Rock cafe in TO (if it was a hard rock Cafe in India, that's something else) is just way out.
Like it is penetrating everywhere!
Besides the fact that anything for a buck!
You think the DJ from Bombay will mix Bollywood tracks with some of Farukh Bulsara's (Queen) tunes?
Maybe even sprinkle on a little AC/DC? Led Zep?
Maybe spark up the evening with the Stones signature 'Start Me Up' mixed with an energetic Bollywood tune?
Kewl!
I'll mark that as a sad and damned day for classic rock if that punk spins Led Zep with Bolly music. That's like adding Limca to Single Malt scotch.
Somethings are enjoyed unadultrated. I consider classic rock as one of those things. I pray they will leave it alone.

one never knows...remember \"walk this way\" with run DMC and AeroSmith? The seemingly irreconcilable Rock and Rap went well together there.
It all depends on who is doing the spinning or attempting the fusion. Ofcourse, all will not be gems like some would argue about some of the beatles tracks amongst others....where they tried to mix east and west...during their tryst with eastern mysticism.
Also tracks like 'Stairway to heaven' sounds a lot like Indian classical Music imo.
Check this out....'Stairway Sitar'

The fusion between east and west music goes way back. That fusion is different where the classical elements are actually incorporated into the composition. A random overlay - which is the case when DJs mix and spin - is entirely different.
You can go back to Mahavishnu Orchestra and Shakti for such fantastic fusion. Amazing pieces each one...
