== The Cannibals Band Manipur == |
|||
IN 1987 Cannibals emerged to the scene – perhaps the first heavy metal band from Manipur popularly acclaimed at national level. Momocha still on drums, that classic lineup of the new band included Ritchie, Jimmy and Mathew. Lead guitarist Ritchie erupted with lightning riffs pulling out parallel to Dave Murray while Paul shrieked, “Kill for gain or shoot to maim. But we don't need a reason…” – that was Cannibals covering Iron Maiden classic '2 Minutes to Midnight', time and again on stages ranging from GM Hall to Polo Ground, Manipur Dramatic Union (MDU) to Light House (Churachandpur), Mokochung to Guwahati, Silchar to Shillong and Kolkata to Delhi. |
|||
The Cannibals, were fronted by the versatile Paul Kamei the Singer and the Leader of the Band. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that ‘The Cannibals needs no introduction to any Self Respected Rocker in the Country. Because ‘ The Cannibals were The Cannibals – Legends in their own right!. Richie on the Lead Guitar, Matthew on the Bass and the Flamboyant and Phenomenal ‘ Momocha’ on the Drums completed the line up of the Legendary - Cannibals. |
|||
And thousands of Fans who flocked to their Concerts across the Country, and who were privileged enough to see them perform ‘Live’ were always awe-struck and blown away by the Band’s sheer professionalism, and high voltage stage performance. They were, no doubt a bunch of dedicated Musicians with a lot of feel, and proficiency that is rare and simply unmatched. |
|||
The Cannibal’s Singer Paul Kamei handled his vocal duties like a true professional – From Iron Maiden to Nazareth, Paul could sing it all with ease and proficiency. Richie played with a real feel and often played his heart out on his ‘Guitar Electrique’. Matthew as was as tight as vice, as he thumps the Bass Guitar note to note perfect, as if it was the very extension of his soul. |
|||
And last but never the least was ‘ The Hit-Man’ Momocha on the Drums. Momocha was without any shadow of a doubt the Best Drummer in the Country when He was at his peak. His good looks, his showmanship, and most of all his ‘Drumming Skills’ left Fans Screaming and Girls swooning over him. Momocha’s unbelievable drumming style still left a magical touch on the Rock Fans all over the Country who were lucky enough to see ‘Him’ do ‘His Thing’ on the drums. One needs to see Momocha in action to believe what sets him apart from the other ‘Skin-Bashers’. |
|||
Who could forget the Cannibals show down with the Best Band from Mizoram (way back then) The Otto Band at the Finals of the Delhi University Rock Competition way back in the late 80’s. The Otto Band was also a band that takes big pride in their professionalism. But when the Competition got underway, The Otto Guys were no match from the Band from Manipur – The Cannibals. The Cannibals attired in their traditional Leathers and tight Jeans Pants, and their long flowing hair rocked the Crowd right from the word ‘GO’. They swarmed all over the Stage – Rocking, Head-Banging, their long black hair swaying to the rhythm and the beat of their music as they play perfect renditions of Rock Classics from Iron Maiden to Nazareth, from Bon-Fire to Pink Floyd. Taking the crowds on a musical journey never experienced before. The Cannibals were truly a Classic Rhythmic Combination that Fans could never have enough of. |
|||
Needless to say the Crowds and the Judges loved The Cannibals, they all were completely mesmerized by Paul and his Gang. The Cannibals won the Delhi University Rock competition ‘Thumbs Up’ over the Mizorams Otto Band who had to be contented being second to the Cannibals. I must add here that being 2nd to The Cannibals is quite an achievement in itself. The Cannibals played a number of Concerts all over the country and their fame and popularity grew by leaps and bounds. |
|||
The Cannibals once played to a Capacity Stadium at Siri Fort, New Delhi. Richie the Lead Guitarist of the band, for a change took over the vocal duties from Paul for the Bon Fire’s Classic ‘ You Make Me Feel’. As the Band launched themselves into the song with Richie the Axe-man on the vocals, An over excited Fan – A Beautiful Delhite Girl ran up on to the stage, took Richie in a warm embrace and planted a deep kiss on Richie, right there on the stage with the thousands of fans going hysterical and screaming themselves hoarse! |
|||
The Cannibals could produce the Intended Effect. They were a Bunch of extremely talented Guys who were complete Masters of their Trade. Professionals who could have made the World their Arena, had they been blessed with better facilities and opportunities. The Cannibals influenced many budding Rock Fans to form a band of their own. The Cannibals were also one of the Bands who sowed the seed of the Rock Music Revolution in the Capital – New Delhi. They were ‘ An Inspiration’ for many Bands who tried hard to walk the Cannibal’s way. And many budding Drummers ‘ wanted to play the drums and be like the One and Only Momocha’ |
|||
The Cannibals had fame, they had fans who would flocked to their concerts all over the length and breadth of this vast sea of Humanity called India. They were a Band who would always deliver, a Band whose professionalism was never once in a doubt. A Band who won the admiration of other Bands, respected and revered by other Musicians and their peers. |
|||
But due to reasons best known to the members of the Band’s themselves The Cannibals, unfortunately for their fans across the country, broke up and went their separate ways. And like many other bands before them, they became ‘History’ confined only to the memories of their Fans who were privileged enough to see them perform live. It is indeed a real pity that The Cannibals are no more :(! |
|||
Though after a long hiatus and years of non-existence, some of the member of the famed Cannibals regrouped and recorded a few original songs like 1) Sweet Reggae 2) Dirty Boy Blues 3) In the middle of the night. But they could never reclaimed their past glory and with the passage of time, Paul and His Gang faded away for good into the Oblivion. With the break up of The Cannibals – a Glorious era in Manipur’s Rock Music came to an end. |
