IRAN IS DANGEROUS // Is this really true? - Episode 1

Excellent video Ben - good sound, camera, narration and no disruptive music/special effects. A great way to live your life! I was born and lived in Iran for 22 years and riding on those roads is one of the best things. You have great skills with people too. The Arabic sounding music is also perfect mate. Some Iranians in South of Iran are Arabic-speaking so the music is appropriate. Apparently some fellow Iranians don't know this. Keep up the good work buddy!

[@kidlikerizzle]

Mate, nice going. I’m happy you enjoyed the trip. As an Iranian, I’ve gone back every year by plane and now you’ve inspired me to ride there :) Iran is just like every other country - it has beautiful safe parts and has dark dangerous parts. I’m glad you saw a good few places (even been places I haven’t ;P)

Great job Ben. First I heard about you on The ADVENTURE RADIO motorcycle podcast, I was very impressed with you and your story in the first Interview, then couple of weeks ago I listened the follow up interview, and again more impressed.

Hello King of the Road! I am so glad that you had a good time and were treated well by my people in my country. I have to thank you for naming the Persian Gulf after its own name. Really, really thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 and please always try to remember that we the Iranians hate it by all means to be called, addressed and looked at as Arabs. Right from the start you chose Arabic music and I think it is the wrong direction in choosing music 🎶🎵 . On the third minute of the video, you performed an unauthorized overtaking 😉😉.

Wrong arabic music on persian touring 🤣🤣 but its nice .

[@jcaspe]

I'm wondering, how do you characterize a arabian music from a persian? I mean is there a big difference?

[@Herot145]

jcaspe ayes very different like the difference between Spanish Flamenco and Ottoman music. The structure, instruments, vocal tune and etc. in Persian/Iranian music and Arabic music are completely different but for most Europeans and Americans who categorize everything in middle east “Arabic” maybe not. check “Persian Sufi music” and “Persian traditional music” in youtube and compare it to Arabic music, I’m sure you will find the difference. also beside traditional and Sufi music we have folk music as Kurdish, Luri, Gilaki, Azeri, Baluchi, Mazani, Maghami, Khorasani and etc. which region to region the sound and structure are completely different. I’m not expert in music but I hope I helped a bit. My suggestions are “Hossein Alizadeh” “Keyhan Kalhor” and “Shahram Nazeri” to start with.

[@farshidvosoogi6505]

Like sky and earth ?

[@hoomannili]

Why wrong music. Iran has very nice and proud Arabic speaking people especially in South. Iran or the Persian cultural domain means Arab, Kurd, Gilaki.. and so on. Read your own history pal. This music is very appropriate!

[@leeway1000]

@@hoomannili Only 2 %of Iranians are arabs .63% PERSIANS. The music does not represent Iran . Persian is the official language spoken in Iran so should be the music. I'm sure if he goes to arab countries ,makes a video and choose Persian music . Arabs will bombard him with swears. Get it???

thank you for this video. I just need to say about the background music. you chose the Arabic music which is so nice. but when the video tends to introduce a country like my country Iran, it is not so proper music. because many people consider Persian as Arab country however, it is not true . so please consider it in your next videos about other countries you will cross. Many thanks.

Just started to look at this video, first time on this channel too and had to stop after 1 minute. Not because I don't tike it, not at all. In fact it is so well done that I already have two questions about this video. Since I am an adventurer too and would like to do some videos on my trips, I really appreciate the way you present some things. First, at the beginning, when you walk to your bike through the titles, the way they appears, floating in the air is really cool. Could you explain how it's done? Second thing, the animated map at 0:55 is very interesting. Could you give some info on what was use to make this? Thanks in advance for your time. Now I'll look at the rest of what will surely be really interesting 17 minutes. 👌Best regards
