The News Archives - Koolmuzone

Mag The Weekly, a print magazine that comes under the network of “The News/GEO” continues to steal information from KoolMuzone even after multiple requests made to the editor of the magazine. MagTheWeekly has been completely ripping off weekly charts in each of their issues. They have also been taking content for other news/articles without mentioning the source of information. I have been extremely patient till now in writing to the editors, considering the magazine to be part of a famous mainstream publication but none of the emails were responded even after the wait of 2 months.

It may also be noted that this magazine is a sub branch of The News/GEO which has even been “imprisoning” people who were involved in copyrights infringement of their content.

It’s an online competition to discover talent. And from Pakistan, ace guitarist, Faraz Anwar, who also fronts prog-metal band Mizraab, has made it to the finals. Yes, Faraz Anwar has taken charge and entered Online Knock-Out Round in Guitar Idol 2009. His instrumental ‘Autumn Madness’ garnered him hundreds of votes. And the heat is still on!

Guitar Idol 2009, a show which not only discovers hidden talent but one which will give the 12 finalists to battle it out live at the upcoming London International Music Show later this summer.

But Faraz hasn’t made the cut for the top 12 just yet. According to the rules, there are 120 finalists, out of which 12 will head to London for the live final. Four will be selected on pure votes while eight will make the cut via the judges panel. Faraz has made it this far and voting is on till May 5, 2009.

This is a big one for Faraz Anwar, who has played with some of the biggest names in Pakistani music including Strings, Ali Haider, Vital Signs, Sajjad Ali to name a few.
