In conversation with Asad Ahmed

[@TayyabKhalil]

A living legend of Pakistan's music industry and one of the most innovative and trailblazing icons of the country's rock music. Sir Asad Ahmed is truly one of a kind! Love his solo albums. Very insightful interview. Btw the opening song is the title track from his solo album Ascension if anyone's wondering.

Thank God i grew up listening fabulous guitarist like Asad Ahmed.. i still remember those days when i was learning guitar and trying to play RAKH AAS & GARDISH guitar riffs. HUGE RESPECT...!!

[@LouisJohnPintoGumby]

That was one of my favorite songs too from that album

[@uncleguitarnerd782]

[@dankazama404]

That intro was amazing. Need an album of you and asad collaboration

[@LouisJohnPintoGumby]

If Asad agrees, I'd love to record more with him

[@karimjibran]

Asad is undoubtable a gem of our industry. Only Asad ahmed names comes to me when ever i think of clean and calm playing. loved the instrumental

[@LouisJohnPintoGumby]

Well said ️🙏🏻

[@MUNI749]

Big difference between original track and the one played here,BASS! More prominent even i've watched this track(not the whole episode with asad) more than 50 times and i'm not getting bore.Russell's bass play is too pure and mature,i have to admit.Asad's guitar does not require any comment,top noch. And gumby you are my favorite since aj latha naee oo coke studio season 2.....real drums hero.have'nt seen anybody so precise and commanding over drums ever since then.You are matchless

[@LouisJohnPintoGumby]

Thank you so much for the kind words bro

[@MAD.Reactions.623]

Wow.man.... what memories u guys hav.... great to Asad in the studio. I wish if we could experience more of Karavan. Alas that era is ended.

I've seen country Pop/Rock music go uptown in the late 80s early and 90s and these two gentleman's played a huge part in it. So proud of you guys. Quality of Intro is better than the original Ascension version.

I was a fan of the band too... Went to watch them play a few times and also did play one show with them. Amazing songs and an amazing band

Asad had his fair share in Junoon’s first album days. He was in as a bassist 🎸 😃 I wished the this episode would’ve been a longer one. But yes Asad virtuoso was seen on Vital Signs Hum Tum, he was beyond his usual and out of the box.

Why do all Pakistani presenters persist with continuing to interrupt and talk over the guests they are interviewing? It’s uncomfortable viewing!

[@LouisJohnPintoGumby]

It was a conversation bro no an interview... Asad and myself have a relationship where he would blatantly tell me if I'm cutting him off. These are based on both of our experiences and opinions. It's casual chatting
