bakit karamihan ng mga sikat na banda ay galing sa mayayaman na pamilya?

I would really like to say that this is IRONY … but the thing is … this sounds more like ENVY … don't you think 

Honestly? Tama ka. Envy and frustration.

just want to add some thoughts:

you have to realize how much an advantage coming from a financially stable family really provides...from the start pa lang, pagbili ng gamit, sariling space sa bahay, lots of time because of freedom from chores etc., connections, transport, expenses during gigs, style points etc etc etc...obviously mas marami ding middle and upper class na pinapayagan/kinukunsinte mag drop out sa school at tumambay/mag-banda nalang...so the odds are really stacked in favor of the "haves" but it doesnt mean they get to have it all...marami nang example dito sa thread na 'to about bands from modest means who got somewhere...they just have to try harder...

which brings me to my next point...these bands that people think are so privelaged actually work *really* hard at what they do... dinaanan din nila ang mga bulok na promoter at gig na nilalangaw. in fact even outside of music, some of the hardest working people were already rich to begin with...mas marami pa atang batugan na mahirap kesa sa mayaman e...

so yeah life sucks but you play the cards youre dealt...

[thisistrivent]

Not necessarily. Good connections and hard work pay off.

Yup! Two words for everyone: Diezel Herbert. 

Isipin na lang natin ang lesson mula sa mga nangyayari ngayon sa Philmusic - hindi sapat ang pera, kailangan din ng skill at good attitude.

  ngayon ay madami nga ang banda na masasabi nating magagaling. pero dati ang pagtugtog sa "gapo" ang kinabubuhay ng mga banda natin. doon sila kumukuha ng kanilang " daily bread" ngayon masyado ng overrated ang mga banda natin kasi me pambayad na sila sa pro at manager.   pero dati wala,  natandaan nyo ba nag kanta ng "horoscope band" sa tundo man ay may langit din. at kantang dukha ng hudas. saan na kaya sila ngayon?  yung frictions saan na kaya?

sounds great songs pro yun na nga siguro mukhang hindi msyado naeembrace ng mga tao yung ganyang songs,kahit sobrang ganda, we need to upgrade pa yung scene natin, sana less April Boys type songs na!

[dref40cc]

   di naman yung horoscope at hudas ay mga metal bands at  pinatugtog lamang madalas noon sa rj- am pa ni howlin dave.  influence yata nila yung black sabbath, judas priest saka  deep purple, pero syempre mas maganda ang tunog ngayon dahil sa modern technology.

Still poor and very much frustrated. 

[maxzboy]

having money can definitely make it easy, but the thing is, even if you spend a million bucks for gear/music lessons and all that jazz . . .  if as a musician you really dont have what it takes . . .
mag buy n sell ka na lng ng gamit mo . . .


Ive seen a ton of guys spend wads of cash on gears and lessons, wala din naman nagawa for their playing ability . . .
 

parang tabs lng yan eh, everybody can print out a few pages of tabs, the question is
kaya mo bang gawin yun?

it just loooks easy if they are rich, if you wanna know if they are good, close your eyes and
just listen . . .

[IncX]

rich-er kids have the time to play music. they can be 23, and still have time to do what they want - unless they inpregnated their gf. really rich kids can be 40, not have a day job and still play music all they want.

financially challenged individuals say goodbye to music after they graduate... or maybe after failing 3x in a row... they have to work to eat cause their families wont give em food anymore. after you realize that you dont have the basic human need of food, shelter and clothing, you will know for sure that music can never sustain your existence. all of those are considering the guy didn't impregnate his GF, hehe.

in the US, some poor guys get a break because even if they dont have money, they have food stamps... they eat, ergo, they live.

the only time a poor guy can have a break here in pinas is when he has a bandmate or manager sponsoring him... and they get a chance to travel abroad to play 4 sets a night of britney, j.lo and buttercup covers, depending on the location or else it would be cueshe, hale, 6 cycle mind, regine velasquez, kamikazee, etc.

it's not all about money really... its all about TIME (and food, perhaps)

nevertheless, mahirap magbanda... mapa poor ka man o rich... ako nga, hanggang ngayon sa tabi tabi pa rin tumutugtog

[orion]

cguro they much more feel secure in terms of finance,. mas madami time , more good resources, and support., lam naman natin sugal talaga ang magbanda d2 to reach success esp kung mahirap lang tayo,.malaking bagay din yata ang connection,..  ,...pero di lahat,.hehehe y hendrix? mahirap lang cya compare 2 Page ,.pero parehas silang sikat,. para sakin ,i think wala din cguro sa gear yun,.the thing is kung papaano mo mapapaganda ung music whether cheap o hi-end ung gear,.pero cyempre wag naman ung sobra lo-end,.crappy talaga 2nog non (mrgreen: hehehe sometimes nakaka frustrate din isipin pero dapat di maging hadlang bagkus maging challenge pa nga dapat sa satin.,.
pero sa akin .,ayoko na muna!   di patas ang labanan eh,.hehehee,.malayo na kc ako sa cyudad tapos biglaang ok na pla  li ung rock scene d2,..shet. naalala ko way back 99-2002 mahirap talaga magbanda,.nauubos lang pera ko sa pamasahe at beer na sariling gastos namin  tapos minsan la pa bayad ung tugtugan m,.shet hehehehe.,for the sake of exposure
kaya cguro di din natin masisisi ung lumilipat sa mga show band,. pero ayoko lumipat wahhhhh!!:-D
isipin nlng natin ang music ay para sa lahat walang mahirap o mayaman.

[nO RLY]

hindi naman din lahat. it's based on the musician's skill anyway. not how flashy they are. it's not based on how they look like while playing. pakinggan mo yung music. malalaman mo yung skill nila..

Uh, not all po. There are some lucky individuals who are so-so in their skills pero nakakapasok pa rin ng Music Industry dahil sa connections.

Pero there are those lucky ones na buo talaga ang tunog. Mapa-mayaman man o mahirap. Yun ang mga star quality talaga.

[Bagong Patunog]

Bakit karamihan ng mga sikat na banda ay galing sa mayayaman na pamilya?

Because they are spoiled. Or like Mike H. said Jeproks.  

[BassCog]

"Kaya sumikat yan, mayaman"
"He can afford the best gear kasi may pera"
"Kaya nakakuha siya ng record deal, kilala niya mga tao"

That sounds to me like people downing others who are observed to be less "deserving".

A little thing I learned in life is that EVERYTHING IS FAIR. Life does not care if you're rich or poor, ugly or handsome, talented or not. What matters in life is that you do the best damn thing you can with what you've got, and how you can live with yourself in doing what you want or need to do.

Again, instead of focusing on what others have and you haven't got, focus on what you have and maximize it. if it still matters to you that you haven't gotten far even with the best you've given, then you're in the wrong ball game. Because what you have at that point is something that is more important than having reached the top of the heap, but without having paid your dues.
