Eraserheads


Calhoun

Recommended Posts

Was there nung saturday... One thing na napansin ko is that Eheads transcend generations...Yung pips na nasa harapan namin were like us the 90's babies 25-30ish yuppies.. sa right side 4 pairs of mga 40's pips... sa left a family of 6 mom and pops na 40ish.. oldest siguro nila nasa early 20's ung bunso siguro nila was 13 or 14 na gal... and kids were really singing the songs.. grabe pang pamilya din..

 

 

I also commend the crowd... after the bad news wala talaga violent reaction (though there were konting rumblings ung mga bitin talaga at ung mga naghihintay ng mga fave songs nila). Everybody respected the band so much na di nagkagulo to think of it na madami sa tao sa crowd ang nagsacrifice just to watch them. Pag sa ibang instances batuhan na yan gulo na for sure...

 

Basta ako i enjoyed the 15 songs they played thanks at they played lightyears ... when shake your head was played pikit mata akong nagreminisce ng highskul and college days... sarap sarap ...

 

salamat eheads... hope you will finish what you started..

It's heartwarming to know that somehow, Ely and Raims have found a way to bury the hatchet. Here's Raims on a post in the <s>andwich list:

to whom it may concern

 

i dont usually rant but ive been hearing reports about people

questioning why we played saguijo after the concert.

 

first things first. when marlboro pulled out and cancelled the show a

week ago, the band was free of all obligation to play the show. if it

was about the money we could have just walked away fully paid no

explanations to the press or anybody. free from the contract. the band

decided to play nevertheless. the tickets and the prices was for the

new promoters to buy out the production from philip morris to put it

simply. contrary to what some people think it takes money to stage a

concert. stage, lights, and video screens don't magically grow out of

the ground. that's what the ticket prices were for. the band was not

in the negotiation meetings between the the two promoters and we did

not want to be in the meetings.

 

personally i said just call me cos i'm ready to rock. no extra pay no

contract negotiations. as far as the eheads was concerned were out of

the contract.

 

but here's what you dont understand. playing music is what we do. we

play when we're happy, play when we're sad, play when we're angry,

play when we're sick, play til we die.

 

painters paint, writers write, my skateboarding friends skate or die.

when u ask nba superstars what they do in their spare time. they play

basketball.

us musicians, we play. thats what we do. getting paid is a bonus. i

will not apologize for that. when we don't get paid we still play.

 

we played saguijo because we wanted to, we needed to. our hearts and

souls dictated it. we could just go home and sleep. we did not talk

about it. there was no invites there was no plan. we did not get paid.

we borrowed equipment.

 

yes ely knew about it. buddy told him the next day. yes pupil was in

saguijo too.

 

yes marcus buddy and i have lost a parent. we know how it feels.

 

ive been playing music for more than 30 years. professionally since

1993.there have been a few times when it was me who was unable to

continue the set due to illness. albeit it was a lesser scale and

(thankfully) never reported. it was nonetheless life threatening. ive

had a run in with losing my voice, food poisoning, diarreah

(embarassing) and a few more i do not care to mention that involved

blood and bones. i had to drop out of the set from the eheads, cambio

and sandwich. thankfully there was always someone there to finish the

set for me. and i am thankful that they were there. i did not feel

bad. ive also saved a few shows from other bands when **** happens. we

dont plan this and we dont complain but we still play.

 

my bmx friends ride with broken bones.

 

if we finished the eheads show that night you would STILL have found

us in guijo playing after.

 

yes i visited ely in the hospital yesterday. i hope he recovers soon.

we have a show to finish.

 

music is life

ill only stop playing when i die.

I just hope na gumaling na si idol ely.

 

At next time na magcoconcert sila dapat siguro nakaupo nalang sa chair si ely at dapat ang stage may mga naka set up na evaporative airconditioner para naman hindi masyado mainitan ang eheads. sabi nila buddy at rayms naka ilang tungga sila ng mineral water kasi sobrang init sa stage.
