Kashmir | Waqt | Episode 5 | Pepsi Battle of the Bands | Season 2

Waqt, by E.P was changed up and given a new feel by Kashmir. Bilal’s vocals coupled with the wild guitaring by Vais Khan resulted in an impressive performance.

[@Junaid648]

To everyone criticizing the vocalist. Bilal was sick that day and despite of that he produces a brilliant performance. Hats of to you sir. On a separate note. While all other bands are being monotonous and producing similar music across all episodes, Kashmir is the only one exploring and giving us amazing music. It takes a lot of courage to do an original while in Danger zone. Faislay was so beautifully put together. Rooting for Kashmir

[@hiranazir4862]

Absolutely agreeing to what you said, +1!

[@ahoo786]

Spot on !!!

[@ahmermubashar722]

Faislay was beautiful. No Doubt about that. Taking a chance with an Original while being in the Danger Zone really is ballsy. On repeat since yesterday. :D

[@saadrizwan3543]

Exactly, He was suffering from chest infection in that days but put thru such mesmerizing performance. Hardwork pays off!! Insha Allah Kashmir is going to nail the finale!!!!

[@michaelmassaro6694]

agr beemar tha to rest le leta...lol but though I enjoyed...and completely shocked when I hear judge's remarks

[@SaadKhan-rr2ww]

At 3:20 Bilal sang the chorus too early. He was meant to start after Vais finished his slide, but the main thing that the judges werent able to highlight was that the other band members were so aware of what happened that they adapted to what Bilal was doing, specially Shane who just tapped instead of playing the drums and risking loosing tempo. This is a sign of a very good band, where each member has a good understanding of the others.

[@ushnar9346]

No i think fawad did point out that moment..

[@AdeelAhmedZayn]

On point

[@arslannoorofficial]

Thanks saad for explaining it....!

[@decoding_melodies2851]

boht faad, i was literally head banging while watching this. growing up under influence of Pakistani rock music was the best thing happened so far. (exclusively for our generation early 90's kids)

[@ashhadshabbir2670]

Sumit Srivastava talking about 90's damn I miss Junoon

[@decoding_melodies2851]

Ashhad Shabbir indeed!

[@adnanamin223]

Pakistan, a nation bursting with creativity and talent! From the vibrant threads of its textiles to the soulful rhythms of its music, Pakistan has consistently proven itself to be a powerhouse of artistic expression. Let us celebrate the beauty of Pakistani culture, its warm hospitality, and its incredible contributions to the world of art, literature, and cuisine. And let us also acknowledge that the true spirit of Pakistan is one of peace, love, and creativity - not TERRORISM. #Pakistan #Creativity #Peace Hey love from #India

[@winistan]

Take a good look people ...achi tarhan dekh aur sun lo inko ....this is what great bands look like.

[@aishj100]

The guy on the guitar is amazing. I love EP, but this version is very good too. I hope to art more from these guys

[@sarahakbar3014]

It's the only band in which we can see and listen to every one individually all have their own personality... well played by both guitarist and Vais damn your are the rockstar man while the piano part was awwstuck it sooo suited the whole song and mister drummer stole the show while bilal Kya Bolain you sound so different so unique keep it up Kashmir 👍🏻

[@hyderkhan4886]

Love this band ❤

[@mariasaqib5999]

Kept repeating your tracks throughout the year, and again i am here.

[@atifaslamfan484]

Goosebumps at 2:18. You nailed it Vais Khan 👍.

[@mnt4911]

Atif Aslam Fan he is awesome. But thr was issues with instruments. I wish they record this version.

[@shadmansaqib9022]

Atif Aslam Fan tuning thik nai thi guitar ki iss song me. but his approach and attitude are awesome.

[@tkhanturner1072]

Amazing band love his voice so unique despite how far they go here I'll be following them as a fan brilliant performance guyz. Unable to comprehend why judges were too critical of them. Vocals are dreamy.

[@shameelfaraz]

Kashmir is a good band with potential, yet the vocalist doesn't seem to put all in his range or passion. They need to go all out, scream and lift up their music.

[@beenishchandio2360]

Legends listening to this in 2024 ❤

[@arpitsaxena371]

I have no idea how the fck one can like the song after hearing The original song WAQT by E.P. Judges have the same remark but still ppl are like i am headbanging.

[@77peacekeeper77]

Pakistani Slash ...Vais Khan... Awesome performance guys .... Good to see Bilal coming out of cocoon ..

[@sheria6737]

Such a Beautiful performance kashmir ❤ love from USA

[@amjadmohsin7]

I have never heard such beautiful kind of intro in my life, mind blowing vais Khan

[@xebzfoz]

I think Kashmir is the best band ever. Love the vocalist love the guitars love the drums.. Infact their version was better than ep and their original was amazing.. Their original songs are way better than any of the ep songs

[@mranybody1886]

xebzfoz better than the original? are u high?

[@forbiddencloudman]

how high were u ? :3 pass the pot bro

[@M.Sajid98]

xebzfoz You do know that Xulfi was part of EP... THEN HOW THE HELL CAN THIS BAND (Definitely one of the best on this show)be better than EP 😐

[@asimmughal3343]

ou guys are really playing well . its something that Pakistan was not having this kind of music earlier. i have all your song in my USB connected with my cars Stereo and trust me your music so good that its always on repeat. Wish you good luck and looking forward to have more songs in near future. Love from a Pakistani residing in Bahrain

[@AdeelAhmedZayn]

I would like to have this version in my juke box too. Amazing vocals

[@SMASH1602]

25 May 2021 - Loving this since it was first aired on the show.

[@shujat123]

the progressive rock touch to this track is quite nice.

[@akshahid7178]

Very good Band, very good guitarist 👏🇧🇩 from Bangladesh

[@AbdulAziz-yf8rw]

simply outstanding...thori bht galati hoti hai..par vocalist and keyboard...😙OMG.. This band has the ability to compete not only in pakistan but in the world.

[@sohaibalam6110]

I only liked this vid because of Vais Khan What a rockstar Look at this 2:20 Mehfil loot li Everything was good but Vais Khan was brilliant

[@JassimAli]

Takes a lot of guts to attempt something like this...more likely to be compared (often unfairly so)..but this version lacks the intensity and the emotional depth of EP's version..its far too held back..Bilal and the band have the charge but somehow felt like a car with the handbrakes on...

[@ahmadqureshi5366]

Yes coz their paari is super emotional

[@xaritechreviews]

Vais Khan is one in the World Love Kashmir

[@outdoorwolf9327]

Amazing Band, & a lot of talent in Pakistan!

[@shujat123]

vais khan is our own slash.

[@naziasaleem519]

Shujat Ali , i believe more like Kirk Hammett As kirk can play everyhing slah can. Slash can't everything Kirk do. Master of puppets album and live fade to black. U gotta see hes body language like kirk also i can see some inspiration too in there.from kirk

[@junaidzaki6374]

[@jojo4hyworld654]

Kashmir ❤❤❤❤

[@Kobeism]

Straight fire!!!!

[@bilalansari7662]

3:20 what a mess lol. It was going so well until then.

[@zkhalid5832]

What happened there? I don't quite understand

[@whiteboardanimatorhamna]

N Zee bilal started chorus too early he was not meant to sing until vais conpleted his part...but the rest managed well with it

[@AdeelAhmedZayn]

It was beautiful too

[@shahbazmehmoodarain5403]

[@alinaushaa9826]

[@AbbasAli-ce8ox]

Ovais bro❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rayyanjb00]

They just fucked up a masterpiece

[@haseebahmed2039]

guitarist kamal

[@MalikImran-yn1zp]

Swaaad aagyaa super Rook Star Kashmir

[@rk5759]

only the lead guitar was not tuned, otherwise it was something different and good

[@Jorjina.hayatt]

Love the beginning of kashmirs songs, vocalist needs to work on his makhaarij n pronunciations. he could then release all his songs without the music.

[@naziasaleem519]

Sker . I felt that too it gives feeling of hindi khaa isse lol unlike urdu

[@fahadqureshi834]

Kashmir you people are 6 out of 10. Still you are awesome. Your drummer has to find matching rythem. Jam alot together.

[@AliRaza-wd5rw]

vais

[@visheshkoul]

Vais is a gifted guitarist.... I haven't seen many people this fluent on a guitar

[@ash4321able]

If only the guitar was tuned. Amazing band.

[@burhanilyas]

Ashish Kumar yup

[@hamzaqaiser4551]

Kashmir was the best in the season. But i can surely say that they ruined this song but changing the original composition. Fawad's comments were absolutely right.

[@UnscriptedM01]

His Voice has some Level....❤.....Poerty must be improve ......

[@samrakhalid491]

A big jig no after hearing the original waqt song by EP. This is just a song not any way near to that classic.

[@Maz2bi]

Anybody can justify Meesha Shaafi’s place as a judge? Any memorable contribution of her in Pakistani music?

[@rvelzahid2984]

Why is there no synchrony and communication between judges? It's to do with egos or just the format of the show, it would be nice if they discuss and debate a bit.

[@umarsaghir6109]

No, notice at 3:20 they made a huge mistake with tempo hijack

[@moeenudin8663]

2:25

[@americanlone786]

Oh come on. Seriously. This is a problem in Pakistan - Fawaz was pissed cuz these boyz performed song soooo much better music quality and better singing than he did. Right after Fawaz's comments I listen to his original Waqt song and though I'm not an experienced musician but I can tell you for a fact that these boyz have got turn it into awesome thundering music. Others like Atif or that woman, well they had to say something negative, more or less saying the same thing as Fawaz. I guess they knew Fawaz ass is on fire.

[@AyeshaKhan-hv7qy]

American Lonewolf who the hell is fawaz?

[@yasir619]

Apart from Kashmir, Problem with other 3 bands that i see is there Vocals are so damn limited, though their music has been up to the mark, they lack the aura of professional singers. lets face it, Salman Ahmed had the lyrics, composition, everything except for Vocals, which never really put him on the top. Unless they take professional training apart from Kashmir's vocalist, I couldn't find any charm in all 3 of them, only composition won't let them to top, best recent example is Sayonee from CS10.

[@eiknaththakur6773]

masla

[@Farid-Abbasi]

Where is the rap part?

[@ManiYoutuberMalikSulemanAwan]

Remake or watevr u may call it. Original song was far better.

[@gladsonaj]

guitar was off...

[@TalhaImamCS]

Honestly I am glad i didn't follow Pepsi Battle of the Bands. They compared this to Coke Studio? lol

[@mohammadadnanashiq5273]

They fucked up a Hard Rock Song Bullshit !!

[@rszash6358]

FAWAD KHAN ❤️

[@Sanlucido1986]

Failed big time!😂

[@ahsanbajwa902]

Judges are really stupid. Should be Rohail Hayat. Salman Ahmed. Sajjad Ali. Ali Haider.

[@fawadshahid2735]

How to ruin a perfectly good song

[@ManiYoutuberMalikSulemanAwan]

No power in vocal and no syncronicity in music. Sorry to say. Altho kashmir is a good band. But this was down Not up.

[@sherazali4025]

Disappointed. Doing no justice with this song

[@Regina-Phalange]

Up until Guitarist solo it was going great! but the vocalist needs to expand his voice range and add more passion to it!

[@sagheerb224]

What is Khhamoshi, it is khamoshi and not khhwab Aur khhumaar, come on guys you are singing in Urdu, have your pronunciation right, judges should have corrected you as well!

[@iqbaljoney3131]

This is not rock

[@ManiYoutuberMalikSulemanAwan]

Bad imitation or copy.

[@farazashrafalisure]

So many criticism still kashmir goes through ...:( Disapointed

[@kumar_abhishek_music]

The Guitarist went out of scale mid way.....the riff was totally off tune ! How can one do this in a live ?

[@moidrk1]

When?
