There should be a separate fan base for how much the drummer enjoys his job

It was 2000 when Duur was released and I was just ten at that time and then Dhaani came. I went crazy for strings as there was absolutely nothing like them those days and then Sajni song and this stage performance last year. From Duur to Duur, I have grown up and thirty now and they are emotions for me. It's something which can't be explained but can only be felt. 20 years and still the same energy, speaks a lot about them.

This is one the best live vocals I have heard in years... and I have heard a lot. Trust me. LOVE FROM INDIA.

Heads off to Ahmed jahanzeb 🤟🤟🤟🙌he took the song on another level my forever favourite song ever. Extraordinary collaboration 🤟🤟🤟🤟Strings Rocks 🤟❤️

When a band can survive over 20 years and kinda sustain the same magic over three decades... thats called SUCCESS!!!!

He just effortlessly carried the whole song. Ahmed Jehanzeb what a gem.

My indian dosts..👍. Who... Enjoyed Amad high Tones....

Aj kl k generation ishq murshid OST k baad hi introduced hui h itny great singer sy

Ahmed Jehanzeb's voice takes this song to some other place. What an uplift to an already amazing song. Says so much about the original composition.

Faisal Kapadia's voice is like a warm blanket on a cold chilly night.

Ahad nihani bhai🔥🔥🔥🔥 ek no drummer ho bhaijann

Mind blowing what a performance 🔥🔥🔥 love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

I was hosting this show and I had goosebumps when AJ started belting solos to make the already wonderful Strings songs soar even higher. Great idea to bring him on to layer and extend the magic

They are more than Just The Band They are the feeling which will take 90s kid back to MTV days where there was only music in that channel no bullshit shows and never cared from country you were The good old days❤️ Love from India

Drummer is enjoying to the fullest! Bands like "Strings" rarely come into existence. Mind-blowing performance.

Yaar Ahmed Jahanzaib k Vocals ❤

Ahmed Jehanzeb is not underrated. He's a heart throb who himself stepped aside from the limelight. He's still the best!

I never heard Ahmed jehanzeb..the way he started the beginning .. what a soulful voice he has.. I love strings🥰😘 ..but this guy nailed it..love from Mumbai India..bharat desh...

This reminds me my engineering college days. Drummer actually killed it, there is no words for him.

Drummer is on another level 🔥 Listen his magic from 4 20

20 years ago. i was a fan. 20 years later, i am a die hard fan. ❤ So much love from India 🇮🇳

Duur is back after 20 years with some 'classical tadka' by Ahmed Jehanzeb Wow!! 20 years since this epic composition was released and it still sounds so fresh every-time one listens to it. Thanks Strings for giving this to the world. For the 90s kids tracks like these and those from Silk Route, Lucky Ali, Euphoria have become anthems which have remained timeless and stood the test of time even now. These are the songs we jam on guitar when we get together with friends and guess what they come so organically - proof that we have internalized these tracks so much into our souls :) Coming to Duur - Guess what they could do to make it better - blend some Ahmed Jehanzeb into it. This jugal-bandi rocked!! I always attributed this song to Faisal's characteristic vocals especially in the lower registers and Ahmed Jehanzeb adds a completely new classical dimension to it so beautifully! And all this over a live jam setting with their raw vocals - which in the era of lip-synch, auto-tune is so nice to see :) Somehow I see Strings has really incarnated as a band, while Coke Studio was great as a platform they contributed to, it's great to see them back in their pop album scene with their album - 30, and each of the tracks were enjoyable. I hope their live stage shows resumes post the COVID thing. They still have so much music in them even after 30 years of entertaining us. Wish them the best. Coming to this rendition - what energy, stage presence by the whole band and vocals by Faisal and Ahmed. I just discovered this yesterday and have been hooked onto this ever since. I discovered Ahmed through Coke Studio, still recall the amazing track he did - Khaki Banda and have been a fan and hence it was incredible to see him and Strings come together on this. While the overall arrangement is the typical Strings stage rock-ish arrangement with a couple of electic guitars, keys and drums, the novel element definitely was Ahmed's vocals. Its amazing how beautifully he fuses his classical parts into an existing classic without it appearing forced or out of place. Special mention to the classical sargam that he seamlessly fuses into the composition following the raag based composition (based on the sargam, it looks like Raag Tilak Kamod. Can someone validate that? ). Truly speaks of his mastery. The other thing you notice in any typically stage show is the enthu of the band - especially Aahad Nayani - the drummer who is a regular in Strings band now. You would have also seen him in Coke Studio. I am intrigued by the way he single handedly infuses the energy in the band, that too remaining in the background, quite literally! :) Can't help him noticing jumping around while sticking to his beats immaculately at 05:44 :D Overall, a version that I would come back to occasionally for sure, while also listening to the original which is a classic. Look forward to more live jams from #Strings! :) Love, Prabhu

Ahmad saheb's voice adds another dimension to an already great composition. I think I liked this rendition more than the original man. Can't imagine how the live experience would have been.

This song gave me goosebumps, tears and bouts of nostalgia. I was in high school when this song released. Those days of MTV and Channel V. A piece of my childhood. Lots of love from India.

AHMED JEHANZEB - I am speechless after listening your voice.

Most underrated and one of the most talented singer of Pakistan Ahmed Jahanzeb

Pakistan Love from your Brother India. You shall always be leading the way..... The best is yet to come for both countries. Peace and Love

Love this mix!!! On side note its funny how Bilal is in summers, Faisal in Fall, and Ahmed chilling in Arctic! 🤣🥰

The drummer is insane ! Sheer Goosebumps.. You have recreated your own magic by such a beautiful rendition to this beautiful number.. @Faisal Kapadia , have been a fan of yours since the 90s.. I believe your tonal quality is one and the most unique on this planet.. ❣️❣️

2012 - Kolkata to Dubai emirates flight .... standing in line to be on-boarded, Faisal Kapadia came on in front... hold on what? Faisal Kapadia in Kolkata? Really rubbed my eyes, interestingly I was sitting exactly 2 rows after Faisal bhai in the economy class... people poured Hi's Hellos... I just saw him from distance... there goes my dhaani in durrr... As a normal bengali, did try to pursue my passion but left singing back in 2006 (I was just about okay, nothing special - dad discouraged rightly) but I have decided to prepare and die with these ears which can never be disclosed to anyone... man - this song, that guitar play in the background will kill me with madness one day.... Love and respect from Toronto and Kolkata

This is fastantic love from Srilanka 😍

Pure talent and decent lyrics that you dont find these days. One of my favourite band. Love ❤️ from India 🇮🇳.

Watching this drummer is always a treat, he looks like he's having the best time of his life haha, like he's really really enjoying it

I am from Bhutan and I used to listen to this when I was in my high school and getting to hear it again with the same feeling after becoming a father of 2 is such a wonderful feeling.. love from BHUTAN..

Love from Türkiye 🇹🇷

Ahmed Jehanzeb looks like he isn't even trying.. effortless voice

If I could sing like Ahmed Jahanzeb, I would never stop singing.

Being a 90s kid, now 31, I would say what a time to be alive.. I love being here and I cherish my time in this world.. this song brings back a lot of memories. One particular is the time I spent with my younger brother. we used to listen to these together, and sometimes turn by turn when we had only 1 mp3 player at our disposal. We are still together but life is very busy and distractions are too many.

Is this probably the BEST live performance of a Pakistani band? You bet it is. Everything is a 10/10, incredible

This one performance beats all of Bollywood music ever produced!!

Ahmad Jahanzeb is most underrated singer of this century.

20 years and still as fresh as new. Strings are awesome.

WE DESERVE A BRAND NEW ALBUM FROM "AHMED JAHANZEB" .. IT"S BEEN AGES ALREADY !! HE"S PURE UNBEATABLE TALENT ! #AhmedJehanzeb

The drummer is lit!! One of the best drummers of South Asia .. Can be seen in a lot of videos

Ahmed Jahazeb took it another level with so much perfection. He is extremely skilled at classical. The way he mixes his classical skills into the pop brought this song on another level.

Khush rahen janzeb Khan sahab zabar10 👍

Its an 8 minutes refreshing journey. Only our Pop Stars can do it 🇵🇰

@3:40 when faisal changes and goes with Sajnaa while Ahmed comes with the actual SAAAJNAAAA. Aaye haaye❤

Undoubtedly this the best song they have ever produced

Mahaul hi ban gaya hai Raat ke 2:30 baj rahe hain... headphones pe sun raha hoon lekin aisa lag raha hai ki mai audience me hoon live sun raha hoon... Beautiful_ composition, musical arrangement and singing... WOW

This is what I call music, drums rolling, guitar strumming and vocalist holding the breathe on tune. Awesome . Strings rock. Love and Respect from Darjeeling (India)

I need an option to give zillion likes ..this is beyond !!!!

Ahad Nayani best !💐

This has to be one of the best live performances. thank you strings.

This should be the face of Pakistan, there are so many artists of international caliber, Pakistan should be the country of music they have many blessed artists. Love from India, the youth of Pakistan will be the key to change the image of Pakistan. Go for it brothers and sisters you've suffered enough. All the best. This performance was crazy, international audience and artists would be surprised if they see a performance like this.

I can't stop listening this song with this incredible arrangement. Love from Mexico. Love Strings . 🇲🇽

Fiasal Kapadia ur awesome, geharia in ur voice

the nodes that Ahmed Jehanzeb is touching ... he makes them look like effortless !! amazing !

I really liked rendition Tilak Kamod (i guess) at 5:12 by Ahmed Jahanzeb. Such a soulful voice. Faisal bhai is a legend.

90s kids will always remember the pop singing icons Faisal Kapadia Ali Azmat Sajjad Ali Shahzad Roy Ahmed Jahanzaib
