Touring in India! That must of been such a blast. You guys sound great and looking forward to your nee album release. Awesome guest!

Loved this, Rob! It's always an education for me when I hear you talk music. This is one of the best interviews I've seen you in.

Thank you Adi and Big FM India for having me on! India is fantastic.

A really great violinist and musician, I have been listening to him from 1978 with Violin trio, i heard him play for the Carnatic great vocalists as well, but the LP Records that really moved my universe was the LP produced in Madras which was Mohanam Ragam main item with Palghat TS mani Iyer and Zakir Hussain , LP " Whose to know" Ragam Savitri and another LP Ragam Abheri. I have written to the great Guru Shankar to get the Sahityam of the Savatri ragam composition , which he gladly sent to me in South Africa, I wish one day he can sing that composition (song ) its emotionally moving. Other greats LPs with John Gabarak and Chaurasia and others, I wish he can come back to play on the Carnatic music platform with Carnatic vocalists and flute players. in summary, a great man a great musician, a great legend.

And how does this video have less than 200 views? Internet is mysterious.

Can totally understand a humble GOAT like Paul Gilbert appearing on a random RUclips channel from another country and speaking to other artists. No offence meant with the “random RUclips channel” comment. Aditya seems like a great guy and did a great job just letting these two legends talk to each other. Paul Gilbert 🫡🫡

That was a very nice interview with such a variety of topics. You had questions prepared and you had excellent questions. Great start, great ending, I enjoyed this.

Thanks Aditya.I was always wondering why this legend is not a part of Shakti anymore. Whatever be the reasons it is a loss for music especially to the Shakti fans. Hope some miracle happens and they play together.

Such a great interview. Thank you, Aditya and L. Shankar for all this insight. I’m astounded, elated and saddened by so much of what Shankar talks about here. His virtuosic musical offerings, and understanding of East/West collaboration has been a large part of my daily soundtrack and education. The early Shakti albums, as well as Who’s To Know and Song For Everyone on ECM, are rare gems. I hope, for the sake of karma and respect, that in the murky, behind the scenes world of the music industry, Shankar, John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussain can find each other again and make peace. 🙏🏽

Dear Aditya, I must congratulate you for such an in depth interview with legendary L. Shankar watched it two times. I had a tears in my eyes when I saw it first time few days ago. Its really sad fact that he was sidelined from Shakti although it was brainchild of his ideas and compositions. Nevertheless, that's life and thanks a lot for bringing various topics and the things that I never knew before. Keep up the good work my friend. :)

I applaud L Shankar for speaking out. It’s what all of us suspected for years anyway. More musicians and people should speak out like this, no matter how long it’s been. Most of them probably won’t or can’t because they have their own interest to protect in the industry. Yes it may be bitter to hear especially fans of those people because the truth burst the bubble of the saintly image they have created.

At 1:50:00 there is a claim about mechanicals etc. record jacket states otherwise. CBS owns first album, but Mclaughlin composition controled by Warner -Tamerlane and his crazy Guru chimnoy (who we know stole both money and girlfriend from poor John 😂). Meanwhile Shankar music is separately controlled by Seethalakshmi music INC. BMI gives mechanical royalties to those companies stated. So the claim John gets ALL royalties doesn’t make much sense. What does make sense is that CBS uses his name for marketing since he was already famous and this project was commercially dangerous for the record company. More likely the issue is John is given PRODUCER credit. Shankar would have done better if he could get that credit because then he would have gotten residuals from sales… but as he said “we would lose equally” referring to gambling on commercial success (and honestly, by comparison, Shakti was not a commercial success back then, only after reunion tours).

Hey Ali Can you email me the links to our video interview?

A rare insight indeed, one that only someone at the level of L. Shankar can provide. Finally, we get to hear his side of the story, and he shows such professionalism - despite the injustices that have happened to him, he still wishes them well and speaks highly of their talent. It's the mark of a true musician's professionalism, someone who respects the art. His contribution to music and the sheer amount of dedication and work he has put in are truly remarkable. It's sad that people couldn't recognize this living genius. Maybe once he's gone, people will realize - but that will be too late.

this is really sad. the idea that Shankar, a musical hero, feels that he has to demean JM and Zakir is beyond belief. I can not for one second believe his claims that these masterful musicians did not want to practice, or that McLaughlin would call Hendrix - who he has always spoke highly of - "shit". I don't believe a word of it.

A rare interview that many have not managed to achieve Aditya. Your work is great in speaking with our musical hero's of decades like Shankar has been in the past. He has been a true genius musician in the past. His versions of Shakti experiences are interesting at least. We all have our own versions of full truth. Shankar too. Thank you for your great works keep up the speaking with our hero's of music. You have strong karma to manage to do this at this time in the world. Thank you.

What a wonderful interview with the immense L Shankar!! Have been (since the ‘70s) in awe of his otherworldly beautiful and incredible voice on violin. What a pleasure to hear and learn so much about him here. Fabulous Thank you again for another great interview Aditya! Bravo sir!! 🙏👏

Dear Aditya, it was great talking to you and revealing lots of information which I have never shared publicly before. You did an awesome job with your wonderful questions and I look forward to us crossing paths in the near future. All the best to you! Love, L. Shankar

I love how she speaks about evolving her sound and her style. I see people all the time say they wish she looked like she did earlier in her career and also the sounds of her earlier albums. I loved Faster, but I saw alot of her older fans complaining that they didn't like her newer sound. I like how each of her last five albums have all had a distinct theme and sound, I've loved them all. I also love her Dirty Marilyn look. To me she looks like a Confident and seasoned Woman... Not a young girl. She was a cute little country girl from Kansas in her cowboy boots when she started. Now she is a Badass Guitar Goddess... Who likes NIN... Man she is a helluva woman! 👠👠👠

Love your interviews Aditya🙏 Keep groovin’ Saludos from Buenos Aires

Actually, neither Steve Morse nor Don Airey were inducted into the RRHOF with Deep Purple. Never mind that Morse had served as the lead guitarist longer than founding guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, apparently Jan Wenner doesn't think too much of Steve or Don's contributions...

For a long time, I've wondered about Steve's practice/opinion on spirituality. I've searched high and low on the web. Today, I see him talking about these topics, life, his feelings and the 'Serenity Prayer' on your show. Thank you Aditya for bringing this interview to us.

Well done! I listen to Walter’s interviews when I can and this one was great. The questions were so good.

Steve actually wasn't inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame despite being the band's longest serving guitarist

What a great interview that was!

Any interview w Steve is a rich treat, as was this .. unique questions now & then. Thank You, both.

Superb Interview. Keep it up

Superb Aditya. Keep it up

Bahut bahut man to tha aapko dekhne ka jab se kuchh din pahele aapko dekhe the tab se aaj dekh liye hame sab mil gaya

It was an honour to meet and chat with the legend himself Scott Henderson! Thank you Aditya for having me on board :)

Thank you so much for this interview😊 armaan 🫶🏻🥹🥰

❤❤❤❤❤

Interesting questions and answers! I want to know if we're getting a new DBII album soon!

Superb Aditya. Keep it up

A pity, this almost zero resonance to this great interview with the great Simon Phillips! You asked some very creative and unconventional questions - well done! 🎉

Bruce is a national treasure in Canada! He is certainly one of the greatest most consistant songwriter of all time! Long may he run! May the light of Christ that he carries burn strong in his heart.

Thanks for this one, A. V.

Loved watching an interview for the India Tour. Best guitarist on the planet (and I'm not not just saying that cuz I witnessed his live performance yesterday, with you in attendance, he has been my no. 1 since 2017 and it doesn't look like anyone is going to replace his throne in my mind anytime soon.). Loved your show, Steve! The best concert I've ever been to! Please come back to India for your next album tour as well! 🤘

Thanks Aditya for promoting talented artists, and also creating awareness of music to the larger world audiences!!! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more podcasts
