that picture alone testifies to his "rock and roll" nature.

i heard from someone tell me that when pepe was told he was the mick jagger of the philippines and he replied back, "no mick jagger is the pepe smith of england".

i dont know if this is true, but heck its a great story and that makes me idolize him more.

I remember him playing really high on a up fair night and you know what he is playing?

" like a rolling stone" by bod dylan/rolling stones. i think i just witnessed a great man perform a  great song that personified what he is, what we are actually. it was another persons song but he couldve just as easily wrote it himself as he has done almost everything. Yun tingin ko ang passion ni pepe, yung ini express nya, na experience na nya. Never a poser. Never one to pretend.

Just him, a tele and the mic.... So yeah how does it feel?

Man o man. I doubt RJ Jacinto could evoke such emotion from me. Let alone make the hair on my spine tingle like that night when Pepe sang that song.  It was, one of the moments when I decided Id like to get a guitar and just play. Haha.

IMO, rock n roll is different things to different people.

If its classic swing-type rock n roll where the audience boogies, then RJ is the Chuck Berry of the Philippines.  He does the most authentic rendition of Johnny B Goode.  This kind of music will just look off/pilit if other people performed it.

If rock n roll is about being a rebel, personifying a lifestyle, and performing songs more Filipinos can identify with, then Pepe Smith hands down.

Demographics and preferences.  Its obvious which of these guys this forum, especially this sub form, will prefer.

But at the end of the day, everyone can get along:

agree on this bro...

but to put my beef in this taco, pepe smith!

the title says "represents". as rock and roll is inclusive of the music and persona, i think there should be one clear answer. otherwise we would have the star for all seasons, megastars, the star anises of rock and roll.

Nung martial law , Piyaps stayed while RJ ran to the US. Clear winner.

all the more reason. cant really compare them. one is a privileged, rich man indulging in his "rock and roll" lifestyle. slumming i think is the word. the other, living it.

its the difference between a hardcore kid wearing the hardcore shirt and the hardcore kid, living the hardcore life and singing about it. someone is being a poser and someone is expressing his heart out.

[opencoke]

pepe smith all the way. pamumuhay pa lang eh rock and roll na rock and roll na.

[dirtybluesplayer]

Both are bluesman, can't compare, pwede pa siguro kung wally gonzales vs rj

[Magus]

Pepe Smith. Pag sinabing Pinoy Rock, si Pepe na yun.
