What is friendship? It’s an invisible connection that binds people together despite all the differences they may have. Most often people pick friends in schools and colleges while growing up and later on at work and elsewhere. However, for people with talent, it’s an altogether different story. It’s their talent that draws them close, the way magnet attracts iron.
Today being friendship day, Match My Talent explores magical pairs in music who set the road ablaze and enthralled millions of fans around the globe. Read on and find out how going together has illuminated some of the best talents in the world of music!
Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield – They proved Their Mettle With Metallica
36 years and going strong, Metallica is one of the most successful bands in the history of music. Born on October 28, 1981, the band has an interesting origin.
How it all began
An ad by Lars Ulrich in the LA Recycler caught James Hetfield’s attention. They decided to pair up and soon recruited Mr. Hetfield’s friend and roomie Ron McGovney to play bass and Dave Mustaine to play lead guitar. The rest, as they say, is history.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards – Men who kept the Stone Rolling
Formed in 1962, Rolling Stones has been around for 55 years. Though the relationship of the two iconic artistes has been tumultuous, it’s undeniable that they enriched and elevated rock music to newer heights.
How it all began
Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were childhood friends and classmates in Kent. However, the Jaggers later moved to a Wilmington. During his stay in Wilmington, Jagger formed a garage band with Dick Taylor. The duo were chiefly playing covers of Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and so on. In the beginning of 1960 Jagger met Richards again. What Jagger carried – the Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records – helped Richards to realize that their taste in music is similar. Soon he became a regular at his house where they played together. This paved way for one of the most formidable friendships in the history of rock music.
Nadeem-Shravan – the pair that made Bollywood dance to their tunes
The most successful music director duo from the 90s till early 2000, Nadeem–Shravan has given countless hits to Bollywood. Characterized by their use of three musical instruments in particular; bansuri, sitar and shehnai in their compositions, they created soulful music.
How it all began
Though Nadeem-Shravan rose to fame in the 90s with the movie Aashiqui, their friendship dates back to the 70s.They met each other at a function in 1973, and the very year they got their first film project for a Bhojpuri film. However, the pair skyrocketed to fame in the 90s thanks to musical hits such as Saajan, Phool Aur Kante, Dilwale, Raja Hindustani, Sadak…
Music is an ocean and it’s impossible to cover the entire music scenario. This is more of a sample than a definitive list. The idea has been to highlight friendships that created and immortalized music.
