Eraserheads

[lime222]

wahhhhh!!!!!!

 

bakit kung kelan wla ako sa pinas...?!!!

[ADAM]

I really don't like the idea that it'll be for free. Alam naman natin ang mga tao dito sa pinas. Sayang.

[naked_angel]

i'm excited to k*ll for tickets or anyway to get in

[ADAM]

sana sa UP grounds nalang

i think it's 10 mill for the whole band for a 45 minute set. bale tig 2.5M each. and the concert will be free.

 

sez so at this website.

 

 

hey, did you even get to read what you posted?

 

here it is:

 

Each member is said to be receiving a rather large sum - with estimates ranging from P2.5M to P10M apiece - in order to pull together for a 45 minutes set.

 

and to wit,

 

We also monitored the following message - containing the allegedly official announcement - posted on the Eraserheads mailing list on Sunday night by Villy Ray Villacorta:

 

Yes it's true. It's been in the works for several months na. Marlboro is sponsoring this concert and paid each of the members a staggering P10M each to do a full 45-minute set.

 

regardless, the point is that they will be paid handsomely for this gig.

it's all business.

there's no way you could put Ely and Lemon on one stage that doesn't involve huge wads of cash.

i think they deserve the money!!!! nung nakikinig ako sa nu107 kahapon ang nasa top1 ang ang kanta ng PUPIL ni ely, top 4 ang american gurl ni Markus at top 7 ang betamax ng sandwich ni Raimund...astig sila

 

nung naging hall of fame sila sa Nu rock wards, sinabi na

 

"...perhaps there were just too many geniuses in one small laboratory and they call that lab..

"I got some text messages from some "people in the know" smilies/smiley.gif Without going into details, they say the P10M figure being bandied about is too high and may actually refer to the total payout to the band. The talent fee per band member is more like P2M to P2.5M. I'll revise the posting accordingly."

Yun na.

[gift_of_game]

10 mil...2.5 mil...what does it matter?

 

bottomline, they're gonna get paid to make it happen.

if they really wanted to do this, Marlboro didn't really have to get involved.

IKA NGA NI JIM AYSON..

 

You know why talking the big money figures don't bother me? Because it means

that rock musicians are finally getting the respect they deserve. Why should

Gary Valenciano and Martin Neivera and all those artistas get all the big

bucks? Why does all the money just have to go to Rudy Tee of Sony BMG? I

don't want these guys to wind up like Pepe Smith 30 years from now, famous

and penniless. They are artists and they reserve respect all the perks that

come with the position. Not just artists - but rock stars. The fans put them

there.

 

 

AMEN?

 

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

hardly was my point.

I got nothing against them getting paid, heck, they deserve every cent of 10 or 2.5 or 2 mil or whatever it is that they got.

 

part of me is just frustrated that they had to get paid to reunite again.

if you know the back story of the split-up, you'd understand.

as late as 3 months back, Raimund was dousing any hint of a reunion---him and Ely had inflicted mortal wounds on their friendship that it seemed unlikely.

now that it's going to happen, I guess that this will all be business.

I think it's too early to say. Let's just wait until the concert is over. definitely, this will unfold. If the wounds were healed or not and what would happen after. Personally, i think this is strictly a one-night deal. unless the members' respective bands all split up, heaven forbid; and they decided to reunite for another or a few more albums. w/c ever way it'll go, we, the fans are all gonna be the winners.

 

But i still would have to disagree that they'd have it for free. For security reasons. You people know that very well.

I'll say this since my friends got it straight from Lemon (again, a few months back):

 

when they asked him how things between them were going and whether he visited Ely when he had a heart attack (that skank Dianne told the press that only Marcus and Buddy visited; she just plain hates Raimund's guts so we thought she lied)---he simply said,

"Bakit? Dahil ba mamatay na yung tao, dapat patawarin at kalimutan na yung nakaraan?"

 

things happened, a lot of things were said and with that mindset, I really didn't feel like it was possible---at least definitely not within this year.

but yeah a lot of things can happen in 3 months alright. like hmm...someone dropping money to make the impossible happen (the early blurbs have it that the group was reluctant until they got to the right price).

 

it's a one-night deal only because yun na nga, the two dudes just can't bear working together again.

 

as for doing it for "free"---they're just following a key element of the viral marketing ploy.

it's kinda stupid knowing how free concerts end up being jolog free-for-all affairs but these are the Heads and I definitely wouldn't miss it if I was there.

whoops! sorry, my bad. nagmamadali kasi ako nung binabasa ko yan kagabi eh.

 

about the concert being for free... medyo nagdadalawang-isip na rin ako if i would want to watch. 45 minutes, ilang kanta lang siguro yun. mas mahaba pa yung napanood kong concert nila sa UST dati. but, being the eheads fan that i am, i'd still hope to get those tickets tapos bahala na!

[lime222]

free di ba?
