huh?
mas oks ata kun ang tanong, sinong mas trip mo magsulat hindi mas magaling.
i know its been quoted so many times..."it's like comparing apples and oranges..."
I like Rico's songwriting more than Bamboo's.

eto na naman tayo....:lol:
just for the sake of satisfying your thread...
from the first rivermaya album up to the " free" album.. i have always admired Rico Blanco's enigmatic songwriting skills....but after "tuloy ang ligaya" album.....di ko na gusto mga sumunod na kanta nila.
as for bamboo....i like his style of songwriting. he's quite poetic. actualy mas gusto ko yung mga sinusulat nya ngayon as oppose nung nasa RM pa sya.
as for singing dynamics....i'm all for bamboo...i'm sorry but i think rico has a diction problem. he's trying so hard to sound british.

Rico is the songwriter between the two. Even his day job is composing. (Hit Productions)
I'm not sure what Bamboo actually writes - it seems that the band's compositions are all credited collectively so you don't know who writes what. Bamboo is a Fil-Am guy, I don't think he writes much Tagalog lyrics for example, though it's sho nuff he handles the English lyrics.

I go for Rico....
Siguro kahit hindi umalis si Bamboo sa Rivermaya noon, we have to admit that Rivermaya is a Rico Blanco dominated band.
During those days, kapag wala si Bamboo sa gig - Rico Blanco can fill in the shoes of Bamboo (kahit na medyo sumasablay ng konti tuloy pa din ang gig) . But never did Bamboo fill in the shoes of Rico Blanco kapag wala si Rico- chances are hindi na tuloy ang gig....hindi kayang gawin ni Bamboo ang ginagawa ni Rico.
Voice quality and showmanship lang ang lamang ni Bamboo.
Pero when it comes to songwriting, arranging, playing various instruments - playing the guitar while singing, playing the keyboards while singing --- Praise goes to Rico!

Rico sa songwriting - hands down. sobrang respetado ko yung songwriting skills nya, he really knows how to make hit songs with actual sensible content. sa vocals? talentwise, maybe Bamboo but ayoko yung mga rap-rap style nya ngayon sa Bamboo pati yung parang laging nauubuusan ng hininga. but Bamboo pa rin sa vocals. :)

nagkaroon ng concert ang bamboo + rivermaya + kame sa meyc college.. so sa live performance na compare ko yung dalawa. rico vs bamboo. dati mas favor ako kay bamboo pero nung napanood ko na sila ng sabay. so nacompare ko silang dalawa. simula nun mas na tripan ko si rico. mas kaya niyang magdala ng crowd kesa kay bamboo. mas may dating siya kesa kay bamboo. pero sa boses bamboo ako.. ayun

for me, i like rico for his songwriting and performance. todo bigay. tsaka i totally like his creativity to make new versions of their songs during concerts.
what i like about bamboo is his performance rin, it's a total trip. i just dunno about the songwriting kasi di na ako masyadong naging fan ng bamboo eh. about the voice, his voice is great but sometimes pare-pareho na yung tono na kinakanta nya. during performance naman, it's like he's snobbish and seldom makes the crowd part of him. rico on the other hand is ONE with the crowd.

dude from what i read when bamboo went to states, he wanted to spend time with his family, tapos after that nag-asawa na ata sya. from what i've heard, it took major convincing to bring bamboo back to phil. i dunno if that was a cover up, wala kasi actual statement nanggaling sa kanya dati. basta bumalik na ang maya sa pinas na wala na si bamboo.

i also agree, in short kung wala si rico wala rin si bamboo, dahil lahat ng sinulat ni rico sa mga previous album nila, si bamboo lang ang kumanta at wala siyang contribution, just to sing, pero si rico kaya niya magisa, then umabot sa 3 piece ang rivermaya, yon kaya eh kayang gawin ni bamboo

when i first heard rico sing (panahon na naman) i thought parang oasis...its nice to hear the guy in the background go front paminsan-minsan...then nung palagi na sya kumakanta, yung pag-gaya nya sa mga british singers medyo nakaka-irita na. pero praise to rico for always coming up with catchy stuff...promise, lahat ng kanta nya gustuhin ko man o hindi nakaka-last song syndrome.
kay bamboo...ok rin. their first album was explosive. da comeback of all comebacks....songwriting is nice too. simple but effective. they credit the songs to the whole band (bamboo) pero may hinala ako si nathan at bamboo nagsulat ng majority...they wrote nice tunes for maya dati e. medyo may konting funk & blues ang bamboo eh, mas lively, kaya if i ever had to buy a CD between the two..id get bamboo.

Well to me i dont see it as Rico Blanco vs Bamboo Manalac To me id like to think of it as Who would you like to be with as a band member Rico or BAmboo? :roll: Rico is all round man he can write, sing , compose etc anD baMboO to me brings up the quality of being aztig If you listen to Rivermaya's songs A love to share, Sunday Driving its brit pop...Then comes bamboo's hallelujah and mr clay! the soaring power talaga, its shows the power..like "ako ay aztig" Bamboo trys to do like mellow touch but it mostly ends up to rap skits..Rico on the other hand is too much i guess "Between the Stars and Waves?" oh cmon rico thats so coldplayish 241 and all the newer songs that has really slowed the toned down...But hey musical taste are higly personal.. So if i was to choose from the two i would pick Rico Rico? hehehehehe But i include in my prayers (well not every night) to see the old rivermaya aka 'DREAM TEAM'

we all view their music to our own perspective. bamboo and blanco r both true to their talents, but if i wer to chose, it's rico blanco for me. he's the head songwriter of rivermaya since day 1. he's good in performing live, he can do the old rivermaya songs that bamboo sang w/a twist of his own. one of pinoy's treasured talents in music 8)

hmmm... got to read got to read...hmmm.napapasin ko ang dahilan ay "kasi nung umalis si bamboo..rico blanco carried rivermaya all the way and i dont think bamboo can do that" bamboo bamboo.. most of us havnt met him in person and yet we judge him. too quickly and think that he's not it. :?... the old rivermaya days are gone but not dead..we still hear their orignal music from time to time..fast forward fast forward we hear rico once more with shattered like and faithless..and after giving us umaaraw umuulan.in what i think is the "new" rivermaya...bringing japs and mike..then theres was a halt or a depression in the pinoy rock music scene...as new age hip hop took the light away from bands for a while..only for a while...then you after a hard days' work driving home or in the jeep or bus hears someone utters "tignan mo ang iyong palad kalyado mong kamay sa hirap ng buhay" wait wait?!?!? i know that voice..no! it cant be...yes its him..the legend is back what some may say..the biggest musical comeback.. a wake up call..the messiah is back... ohh im so glad he's back with a new found glory.. then sunod sunod na mr clay, truth,hallelujah,much has been said etc... Parokya ni edgar has been around all this time why couldnt they come up with this songs? the answer? no one can answer that.. so guys its not really whos better or mahusay.. i guess everything happen for a reason.. leaving rivermaya was somewhat a personal reason.. coming back and rock the php is a blessing.. :lol: i might think it was good that they went on seperate ways coz... :roll: i dont think we would have hallelujah in the old rivermaya? can u imagine it? nope its hard.. or sunday driving while bamboo is still with them? hahaha yeah... so after all what has happened we end up with two great bands..with their own signature songs and ways... now thats a better consolation prize...
what i can say is that "ang pag ba-banda o pag mu-musika ay hindi pagalingan kundi pasarapan"

No, we DO NOT hate Rivermaya! Don't be so paranoid!
Tune in this Friday as Radiodredd features songs from Rivermaya's latest album "Isang Ugat, Isang Dugo". But instead listen to the ORIGINAL RECORDINGS that inspired this album from artists like: Violent Playground, Dean's December, Ethnic Faces, The Jerks, and The Wuds among others!
Take a trip back to the 80's. But this isn't the 80's that most of you are familiar with (you bunch of posers!).
These bands were at the forefront of the then fledging music scene, often existing with minimal or no support from record companies or radio (which had their heads up their asses at that time). And obviously wala pang MTV, MYX or You Tube noong araw 'no!
But yes, great local music existed during that forgotten pre-Eraserheads but post-Juan dela Cruz era.
Compare their recordings to Rico and the boys' tribute. And what a tribute it is! What a great choice of songs!

This comment above from somebody else sums it up:
"from the first rivermaya album up to the " free" album.. i have always admired Rico Blanco's enigmatic songwriting skills....but after "tuloy ang ligaya" album.....di ko na gusto mga sumunod na kanta nila."
Old Rivermaya stuff is great, and most of the new songs are pretty good (I like "241") but the album "Between the Stars and Waves" was pretty awful. "She" is one of the most embarrassing songs I've ever heard. Still Rico Blanco is nice, but neither him nor his band can beat Bamboo in songwriting or vocals, ever.
There is a reason that Bamboo was chosen for international release.

I like Bamboo a lot - I think it's better than Matchbox 20 which they're so often compared with.
Still - old-school Rivermaya was better. Pretty much every song was perfect. I like "Balisong" and I like "Dinner at 6" but neither is better than "Ulan" or "Kisapmata" or "Hinahanap-hanap kita".
I'm going to have to buy all of the old Rivermaya albums before I leave the Philippines. I'm going to miss this place. . . .
Sayang naman. Pinakamaganda ang sounds sa 90s, sa America or Philippines man. Namimiss ko sa 90s music. Sana may mararating kahalintulad ng Old Rivermaya.

Ok naman si Rico Blanco pro didn't like much of his song writting since their album "its not easy being grin". After that album I don't listen to Rivermaya anymore. What i don't like about Rico is yung trying hard to sing like a british. Yung sa "its not easy being grin" astig pa tlaga siya. I love their song nerbyoso saka shattered likes and lately nakinig ako ulit sa You'll be safe here saka Bandila.
Bamboo Maņalac? WOW Hands down tlaga! I was so happy to see him back in the Philippines. Binili ko talaga agad ang album nila nung lumabas. In terms of singing galing talaga ni Bamboo no doubt. Songwritting? Galing Sobra, you know why? Compare to all the Maya's albums after bamboo's departure, Bamboo with 2 Albums pa lang daming hit songs na. Pang MASA talaga. I could compare them like Eheads before, yung from bata to grownups alam yung song nila. Yung mga songs ginagawa ni bamboo tinatamaan talaga ang generation now. It really touch pipols live on whats happening today on their everyday life.
for me: Bambo the best (Song writting and as a vocalist) Rico Blanco (ok naman siya)

wag na lang natin sila i-compare kasi may sarili silang characteristics sa pagsulat at pagperform ng songs may strong points and weakpoints sila pareho...tama kayo sa mga sinabi niyo about them pero di na natin mababalik ang old school days ang importante maganda ung paggawa nila ng mga kanta di ba

pareho silang songwriters. sabi nga ni sir James: may sarili silang characteristics. kumbaga si rico blanco yung dark chocolate tapos si bamboo yung milk chocolate. magkaiba, pero pareho.

I had the chance to interview Bamboo (the man) before. He went to the US to study Arts (creative writing and film) in College... Ayaw kasi ng dad niya na mag arts siya (gusto computers) kaya he had to support his own studies. He left 'Maya naman daw coz he's so young and di pa siya sure kung pagbabanda talaga ang gusto niyang gawin. Nagiging routine na raw ang buhay niya kaya he thought "so... this is it?". Then he came to realize while he was away na pagiging vocalist talaga ang calling niya. Pero syempre, pagbalik niya, wala na siyang babalikan dahil anyan na si Rico. Plus, Nathan was out of Maya na, so they formed Bamboo (the band). Just so interested peepz know. And he's not masungit... Mukha lang... Aminado naman siya na nung RM days, oo. Pero ngayon, at ease na siya sa fans.
So di rin natin basta basta masasabing walang say si Bamboo pagdating sa writing. Rico, ok din ang songwriting niya! Vocals, Bamboo, no doubt. At tama yung comment before, everything happens for a reason. At least, dalawang banda na ang nagbibigay satin ng good songs. At di rin sana madidiscover yung mga bago nilang bandmates na uber sa galing (heard Maya's guitarist? Lufet! And Bamboo's octupus drummer? Bangis!). :-D

pag vocals, hands down I love Bamboo. There's something wrong sa voice ni rico for me. i mean, can you imagine rico doing a bamboo song? NO. Heck NO. on the otherhand, bamboo can sing a ballad better than rico. kita naman yun sa early albums ng rivermaya di ba? he can sing different genres.
im not sure kung sino yung main songwriter nila dati sa RM, pero whoever he was (or is), is good.
Title: Re: Rico Blanco Or Bamboo Maņalac
Post by: Indie_Boy on April 02, 2007, 07:29:44 PM
still can't compare them both becoz they have diff styles and hav diif genres.. both bands are commercialized.. rico's roots came from the late 70's but more on the 80's where brit artists/bands existed.. as for bamboo, not sure kung ano musical influences nya..
Title: Re: Rico Blanco Or Bamboo Maņalac
Post by: manins on April 02, 2007, 07:40:44 PM
for me, i think mas commercialized yung RM than bamboo now. but setting aside their genres or whatever pa mang parameter and base your choice solely on whom you like better, bamboo ako. hehe. halatang may kinikilingan ako. sorry. mas cute kasi si bamboo eh. :evil:
pero on a more serious note, i actually like rico's songs now. im not into bamboo's sound. pero mas nadadala ako kasi sa boses ni bamboo, plus he's got more stage presence than rico.

Siguro kahit hindi umalis si Bamboo sa Rivermaya noon, we have to admit that Rivermaya is a Rico Blanco dominated band.
During those days, kapag wala si Bamboo sa gig - Rico Blanco can fill in the shoes of Bamboo (kahit na medyo sumasablay ng konti tuloy pa din ang gig) . But never did Bamboo fill in the shoes of Rico Blanco kapag wala si Rico- chances are hindi na tuloy ang gig....hindi kayang gawin ni Bamboo ang ginagawa ni Rico.
Voice quality and showmanship lang ang lamang ni Bamboo.
Pero when it comes to songwriting, arranging, playing various instruments - playing the guitar while singing, playing the keyboards while singing --- Praise goes to Rico!

i can't seem to find any information regarding rico blanco's departure from rivermaya online. could anyone post any links for this, please?
my two centavos: i find it strange that he would actually consider leaving the band which he has built himself from the ground up. not only does he have more musical freedom now (with the departure of bamboo and gearing up with his hand-picked new members) they've also been enjoying multi-platinum sales of their last few albums. playing in the mtv music awards, shows across asia, the bands seems to be enjoying a lot more attention. so the question would be, "why now?" when everything seems to be going so well for the band. could it be that he's just trying to prove something? that he is more than just the songwriter for rivermaya? to be honest, when i heard that rivermaya released an album of mostly covers (isang ugat, isang dugo) i was a bit worried that the band has finally run out of ideas and that a break-up is just across the horizon. hopefully this wouldn't be case. on the plus side, it would be interesting if mike elgar comes up with a solo effort as well. we already all know about japs' daydream cycle, could he surprise us with something new as well?

Sir Dindin said that it was true ---- all we need is confirmation from Mr. Blanco himself. And when he does, a loud "Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!" from Pinoys will be definitely heard, like when Ely Buendia left the E-heads. And people will also be asking the question that you asked: "Why now?"

My take is... You have top respect the guy's decision... Kung ayaw na niya talaga magbanda, let him be... It's his life... Not wanting to sing anymore is a valid explanation... And besides, I'd rather hear a wholehearted singer than a singer who doesn't have his heart into the song...

This question is now harder to answer because of the latest news.
Actually mas easier na nga eh. Si Bamboo may delicadeza, si Blanco wala. At least When Bamboo left, may valid explanation siya. At enindorse pa niya si Rico to take over sa vocals. Si Blanco wala. Blanco ang explanation. I used to be a big fan of Blanco. But talent without character is nothing. :-(
My take is... You have top respect the guy's decision... Kung ayaw na niya talaga magbanda, let him be... It's his life... Not wanting to sing anymore is a valid explanation... And besides, I'd rather hear a wholehearted singer than a singer who doesn't have his heart into the song...
And quitting a very good thing while you're ahead must say something about his character...
Sana din nirespeto niya yung kabanda niya
As I said... You HAVE to respect the guy's decision... Maybe he doesn't want the public life anymore. Maybe he already saved up a lot of money, bought a house, built a recording studio and wants to lead a quiet life behind the frontline. Maybe after 14 years, he's tired of performing onstage in front of thousands of shrieking fans... Believe me, sometimes it really gets in your nerves. Let him be. It's HIS life, and he should be the one calling the shots. Not us... nor his bandmates.
I am not taking sides... I personally know every member of the band, and consider them as my friends. And I feel for ALL of them. Not just Rico, but to each and every one of them. I always include them in my prayers that they would reconcile and settle their differences amicably...
Let's just thank him for all the wonderful music that they have written... And hope that each of them would continue to write more...
Nagiging OT na to... magagalit na si Anthria...

Has anyone considered that Rico may be preparing himself for public office?
It sounds crazy, but being a former SK chairman and now he's prepping this "Million Flames" thing, not to mention I got word that he's been talking to UNDP people lately....it sounds probable.

He helped out in their Millennium Develpment CD 2 years. But as to what his discussions with them lately are, I'm not at liberty to say.
I was just at Saguijo a while ago, and Rico was there jamming with Teeth+Ebe Dancel. Minutes later, I spotted Japs and Mark in the area. Rico seemed to be chummy with Japs. Dunno about Mark though.

Anung chummy? :?
Isa sa mga topic sa youtube (comments sa vid na "Sayang" by Rivermaya)
May kinalaman daw si Sir Mark sa mga nangyari.
Ewan ko kung totoo.

I didn't see Rico and Mark talk though. RicoJaps lang.

i really don't agree with some of you.. kc pati sa voice magkaiba sila
Yung songs ni Bamboo dati sa rivermaya makakanta ni rico..pero I doubt it na mabibigyang justice ni bamboo yung mga ballads ni rico like balisong and 241..

i'm sorry but this message have to be said and heard. don't get me wrong comparison is probably a good thing as it helps to establish the facts in any situation, but abusing it is another. do people really have to hate just to defend their own personal opinion?
you're probably very familiar with these kind of topics, and probably actively took part in one of them: "who is better rico blanco or bamboo maņalac?", "sino ang mas magaling pupil o sandwich?" etc. in just about any music forums, these kind of topics dominate the voting polls or received the most replies. but why do people bother in taking part in these kind of topics? who cares right? it's just people's opinion.. apparently not to the majority of people. many are affected, not just you and your selfish personal opinion.
'youtube' is probably the best example to portray this issue. browsing through the massive archive of videos, i just can't help but notice some of the comments posted in youtube. i've seen a rivermaya video in youtube recently and read comments like: "rico binaboy mo lang yung kanta!", "dapat noon pa nag disband na kayo!", "wala kayong sinabi kay bamboo!", "coldpay sound-a-like!" etc. reading this comments you just have to ask yourself this question, "if you really hate the band, then why are you watching it?!!" you're telling people that rivermaya or other band for that matter is "this and that," but you yourself can't stop watching it! that tells me more about you more than anything. do you really hate the band or what? make up you're damn mind!
oh yeah, you'll probably say that it's "freedom of speech." yeah right! "freedom of speech" my ass. the concept of being able to speak freely is one thing, but to degrade and intimidate others is NOT you're so-called "freedom of speech!" there is nothing wrong with speaking your mind. its just that we have to restrain ourselves not to offend others in whatever remarks we say. why do people love to hate? maybe because its part of our human nature, it is what makes us human. if so, we clearly have to change.
no band is greater than the rest. everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. be glad that OPM has once again reclaimed its throne in the local music scene. if issues like these goes on, OPM might not last. for once let us forget our own differences and opinions. listen and appreciate filipino music.
