Post by: oloc on May 29, 2007, 09:03:33 AM

Just read it kanina sa STAR newspaper.

Is it also true na yung Rivermaya is a manufactured band by some record company?

Rivermaya was a band as a result of auditions.  They didn't know each other personally before they started.  Ask Perf.

come to think of it ... as far as being born is concerned... rivermaya is not very different from backstreet boys. im not saying about the looks and the dance moves... just the process of "creating" a band by the power of management.

no offense sa rivermaya fans or kay rico mismo if ever nandto siya ah, pero pansin ko dati ibang iba yung ichura niya nung si bamboo pa ang vocalist nila, alala ko kulot na kulot buhok niya then puro tigyawat pa mukha niya, tapos ngayon biglang puti at kinis at straight na hair niya. what is his secret kaya ?

The band has had a history of relational concerns: the separate incidents of perf and nathan leaving, not to mention bamboo. We also have Kakoi's departure. To be honest, I saw it coming na rin in the last few albums. No band lasts forever.

Especially in rivermaya's case, it's easy to assume that because there are no news about the internals, it does not mean that everything is cool. And sometimes, it does not come down to the success of the concerts or gigs - it comes down to very personal things.

I give them the benefit of the doubt.

sila yung pinoy band na sumikat sa buong mundo.

AND DEY ACTUALLY DOIN DIS?

 :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Rivermaya will be missed by fans worldwide. They would totally definitely disband and reunite, for their chief songwriter departed the band, much relative to the eraserheads' case. Kahit kumuha pa sila ng bagong singer, mabubuwag din sila dahil wala na yung chief songwriter nila.

if you're easily turned off by harsh language from an opinionated bastard, then please don't read this post.

you have been warned.

my two centavos:

i seriously doubt that rivermaya would be able to last without rico blanco. like stated in the article from PEP, rico blanco is the main creative force of the band. it would be exactly like the eraserheads without ely buendia. i could elaborate about this more but i see no reason for me to do so. as you're reading this, you probably already agree with me.

hence,

the thing that struck (and annoyed) me most would have to be the rumors floating about that the remaining band members are thinking of replacing rico blanco by doing the ROCKSTAR SUPERNOVA thing. like FTW?!??!?!!??!?!?!?!?!?! i'm really bloody pissed off! this is the band that has been labelled "ang banda nang bayan". the band that has literally written anthems for entire generations of filipinos! creative giants! they already earned their place in the OPM hall of fame! so why the hell would they opt to do an IDOL SEARCH for the next rico blanco1 and throw all that away?!?!?1/1/1 FTW?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!  i would seriously lose ALL respect for rivermaya. i would even go as far as burning all of my rivermaya CD's, posters and other rivermaya related memorabilia. i don't think anyone could fill rivermaya's frontman spot as well as rico blanco did. i'd rather they disband and change their name to something else. don't taint the rivermaya name with this rockstar search [gooey brown stuff]. i'd even go as far as saying that i would rather all of them just quit music altogether and peddle taho and fishballs in the streets! even THAT would be better than to see them make a mockery of one of the greatest filipino bands in history on tv. smegging bastards! smegging bloody bastards!!!!!!!

All that talking defending rivermaya in youtube and other forums. And now Rico is leaving!
Well to view and stuff, I support Rico in whatever pops in his head. But they will be greatly missed.
And I agree that a "INXS" kind of show that they might be planning(not yet confirmed anyway) would spoil the name. I guess they make MikeE or Japs the new frontman. Or make a quiet audition and then just suddenly announce the new band member.


As Rico said. His work is down. Well for my part I wish I have a stable band for the next 3 years so that I'll be able to be a part of the TRIBUTE ALBUM! q3 :wink: :mrgreen: naks!

Straight from the horses' mouth:

"Dear friends, i am no longer with the band and management of
rivermaya. I have been with the group from the start, and after 14
great years, I am now quite excited about the chance to finally do
other things with my life, pursue endeavors outside of the
entertainment spotlight. This is a desire I have made known to my
group as early as 2005 and have already postponed several times. I
will surely miss the music and the fans and will always cherish the
experience. I hope you will continue supporting the group and the
whole of opm. My work is done. Thank you for all your incredible love
and support.

Rico Blanco"

From his blog at http://www.amillionflames.multiply.com

Seems he wants to concentrate on putting up a NGO/foundation called A Million Flames.

i agree with your posts... but i can give you the reason why they are doing that:

MANAGEMENT

we all know that eventhough rico writes almost all the songs, he is not the leader of the band. thats the reason why i think:

RIVERMAYA SUCKS

yup... flame away, but before you do, hear me out:

i think rico blanco is very talented. i like the way he produced free. that guy has ears i tell you... very discriminating ones. he has his weaknesses like being too carried away with current popular bands, but i think thats all management BS pushing him in that direction.

i also think ex members, bamboo, perf (man, i still love that solo he did on 214. yeah yeah, i should move to his better stuff, hehe), nathan (awesome basslines!) and current member mark escueta (its amazing this guy can do those drum lines without calling attention to himself... thats real talent).

the reason why i think rivermaya sucks is because its not a BAND's band... it is however, a MANAGER's band

it operates that way because the ppl who make rivermaya tick are corporate ppl who probably couldnt play decent guitar (if they could, then why dont they have a band?). suits suck. they dont know squat about music, only the business side of it.

as not to trash management completely, i can say, that as a businessman, i admire their talents for keeping the name "rivermaya" afloat for so many years.

if the manager reads this, i really am in for a flame war and a possible law suit *lol* ... oh well, its not like im making up stories for them *lol* its just an opinion.

anyway, im glad rico quit... he could find new management and begin writing songs that are closer to his heart (hopefully) rather than fall into the trap of writing commercial jingles for money.

Post by: Jim Ayson on June 02, 2007, 10:21:38 AM
Actually I've known the Rivermaya management for years. It's not a group of "corporate types," it's just Lizza Nakpil and she is hardly a "corporate type suit" , she's as odd and bohemian as they come. (ha ha, sorry Lizza!) It's just that the company ran Rivermaya professionally, contracts-wise, deals-wise, etc.

All pro bands should be run that way. And a lot of them are - Pancho (who was Lizza's ex-road manager) for Bamboo, Richard Tan for Parokya / Kamikazee, etc.

Band managers can learn a thing or two about 'em.

As for commercial risks, Rivermaya did some adventurous unheard of things with Lizza's management. Rivermaya Remixed ... the "Free" album - given away for free ... even the current album, covering obscure 80's songs.

i forgot to mention that.

yep, management is cool compared to other mangement firms who dont take as much risk.

the thing is, i really dont think a band is meant to last, especially if they are in the mainstream.

i still think rivermaya sucks because of the things i mentioned above - they made some 'wrong' moves too (like the new vocalist thing maybe) .. but they can justify it probably because, hey, it is their group.

but as to soften the blow of my previous post (i wont edit it) ... if i was gonna be mainstream, and be managed by someone, i think it would be rivermaya's group (they on the other hand, wont manage me, hahaha)....

THIS TAKES THE CAKE FOR ME, THE LAST POST FROM MARK ESCUETA ABOUT BLANCO


he NEVER talked to me about what he did to us now. NEVER.
Yes all of us have 'plans', and we would talk about them from time to time JUST
IN CASE
wala nang mangyari sa Maya. But you guys, off all people in the world, know
how busy weve been these past few years, and what blessings we all have received
especially with regards to Asia, all through YOUR support.
Starworld palang is enough proof that there is great promise for us and for all
filipino
artists.
Now ask youself this: Is now really the time to leave? I guess in Blanco's case,
it is.
Masasabi ko lang na NEVER pumasok sa isip kong iwanan ang Maya at iwanan kayo.
Tanggapin nalang natin kung ano mang rason ang maisip niya.

Reporter: May mga balita po kasi na iniwan nyo na ang Rivermaya... Any comments?
Rico: well masaya ako sa model show na nangyari...

I admit... nawala ng konti ang respeto ko kay Rico at that point... Pede naman nyang sabihin na "Now is not the time to talk about that"... nakakabastos kasi pag ikaw yung nagtanong...

yup, i think nathan, mark and bamboo (not sure) ang magkasama sa band, tapos sa iba nanggaling si rico and perf.

maya had so many line-up changes through the years it's hard to keep track. pero these line up was the best so far....

     Hello everyone, this is mark from rivermaya.
Just wanna say thanks to all those who expressed their support. And to the others, nothing but respect. A big thank you to Jim & Philmusic for always keeping it real. As you guys have probably heard, we WILL go on. One of the biggest misconceptions in Philippine music history is that Blanco writes all of rivermaya's music. May look that way on paper, but I assure you that's FAR from the simple truth and even HE knows that. Doubt he'll ever admit it though. What I will do is prove it, along with my bandmates Mike Elgar & Japs Sergio who are more 'rivermaya' than anyone else in the past. WAY more than BLANCO. Talent without character is NOTHING. We are here are those who believe in us and actually enjoy the drama, haha! Seriously, music lang 'to pero buhay ko 'to. Kung di niyo trip yung maya, thats cool (if you only knew which songs of ours that even I DIDNT like, haha). My bands future is uncertain. Ive accepted that. Hell, Im so used to it by now. One things for sure though, im not gonna let it end the way Mr. Blanco wants it to end. Over my dead body smilies/grin.gif Sarap tumugtog men! All you musicians out there can surely relate. Thanks to Philmusic, my life (and rivermaya's) is an open book for you guys basta atin atin lang ha? hehe. Ask me anything.... and I answer some of it smilies/wink.gif
Cheers!!! Mabuhay ang musikang Pilipino.


yun naman pala eh! di naman pala si blanco nag susulat ng kanta? bakit kaya di pa nila dati pa tinanggal yun ? akala ko kaya lang nila pinilit kumanta yun dahil siya nag susulat ng mga kanta eh... sa totoo lang.. boses niya..  yuckkk.. ehhehee di hamak na laking galing kumanta ni dyugss kumpara dun hehehe.

Anyway, totoo yung sinasabi ni bespren markmaya...
actually, yung isa sa pinaka-favorite songs nila, yung NERBYOSO, co-writer si mark dun :)
and.... ayokong mag-preempt, pero may 2 songs daw si mark na sobrang ganda, at sobrang MAYA. (this is according to Mike Elgar).

Malay natin, naho-hold back lang sila dati noong nandun pa si you know who.... pero ngayon, Free As A Bird na sila!!!

Actually I've known the Rivermaya management for years. It's not a group of "corporate types," it's just Lizza Nakpil and she is hardly a "corporate type suit" , she's as odd and bohemian as they come. (ha ha, sorry Lizza!) It's just that the company ran Rivermaya professionally, contracts-wise, deals-wise, etc.

All pro bands should be run that way. And a lot of them are - Pancho (who was Lizza's ex-road manager) for Bamboo, Richard Tan for Parokya / Kamikazee, etc.

Band managers can learn a thing or two about 'em.

As for commercial risks, Rivermaya did some adventurous unheard of things with Lizza's management. Rivermaya Remixed ... the "Free" album - given away for free ... even the current album, covering obscure 80's songs.

Hi Jim and everyone...
My apologies if my first impulse is to be irreverent.
But I am having difficulty processing some of the statements made on this forum...

Namely,
a) Rivermaya has a problem because I don't play guitar - and don't play in a band?
b) Through mysterious means, I manipulate the band in creating music they don't want to? And thus, Mr. Blanco is now safely away from my clutches.
c) That my being a so-called "oddball and bohemian" is an adequate defense against those charges?

Please let me know if my understanding is correct. And don't worry, I am not lawyering up and I only wear my "suit" when I go to bed at nights in my coffin.
Title: Re: RIVERMAYA DISBANDED ?
Post by: Jim Ayson on June 24, 2007, 11:33:32 AM
Lizza - in my book being an oddball and bohemian is an adorable trait - and yes I would think pointing out such funky traits balance out the "suit-ness" of the job for the critics. Of course there are great rock managers like Paul McGuiness (U2) who look like they should be running a bank somewhere, but that doesn't make them any less effective.

Title: Re: RIVERMAYA DISBANDED ? - NOT!
Post by: lizzagn2007 on June 24, 2007, 02:57:08 PM
thank you jim...
all i meant to say was : it doesn't matter what instrument you do or don't play (sorry but that rankles...and as a matter of fact i can play mozart and beethoven on the piano as well as the kulintang, since my parents thought i should know one western and one filipino instrument to complete my education...)
and it doesn't matter what you wear or how non-conformist you are.
what does matter is how much you believe in your band's music, and how hard you are prepared to work to get it out there.
perhaps you should have a section for managers. i think this whole thing is sending a collective shiver down every manager's spines.

the star world features took me and warner almost TWO YEARS to work on...and that's not the worst.
i had confirmed our appearance at baybeats in singapore this august and for the last few months had been working on a SECOND SHOW timed for the same period.
again, this had taken many months of plotting...the producer wouldn't tell me who it was - just that i would be really happy when i found out and that it would be on august 1st. of course, when i had to say we were out because we had just lost our lead vocals...they told me who it was...(long sigh, sounds of breaking glass, lizza trying to leap out the window)..

now, I WILL GIVE YOU ONE GUESS AS TO WHO WE WERE SUPPOSED TO FRONT FOR...

ah, but the sun always rises, and tomorrow is a new day. hand me my suit :)

Francis Reyes. alyas Francis Brew. Of the Dawn. And NU. If take the time you go back through this thread and spot that URL, Kiko wrote this excellent blog post about some band's longevity, bands going on with non-original mabers, and a "what if" scenario if he auditioned for Rivermaya.

It's the CURE! I'm planning to go to Singapore to watch them on August 1! Too bad... it would have been a better experience if Maya would have been there too... Who knows... Blanco might do a Zach Dela Rocha and do a one night show...

Just keep him several meters away from Mark all the time... hehehe

yup! blanco might show up.. it's a dream come true to front for THE CURE..

aaaah...the original plan was to launch a fashion line to be called "PURO BLANCO".... featuring all white t-shirts (and a complimentary line of identical designs in black) and referencing blanco's new monicker.  i guess neither brand name really didn't fly in the focus groups and the fashion line was subsequently launched to our surprise as "DESIGNS BY RICO BLANCO."

mr. rono and i were deliberately watching from the sidelines as all of this was unfolding, mind you, sometime in march.

neither of us was really crazy about the idea but well, fashion design was something mr. blanco had wanted to do for a very long time... 

("puro blanco" and the all-white theme were dreamed up by the human thinktank working with mr. blanco.) before we could do anything (either way) about it, we were handed a letter of resignation from mr. blanco and the rest, as they say, is (fashion) history.

we all know the curse of Rivermaya.. (or maybe its just a wannabe curse)
pero i do force and support that the 3 become a trio like the nathan rico and mark era

sa interview around nov daw ang new album. sana walang guesting or anything.
I'd like to hear and see what the 3 can do without blanco..
that can be compared to FREE.
And maybe a possible album of the year too.

WHAT IF... parang yung DVD na pirated where the old members of The Doors had a get together featuring front men from different bands (Ian Astbury from The Cult, Perry Farrell, etc) tapos isa syang TV special, album, DVD release atc. I think magandang next move yan to get support from other artist, to reinforce the music, and generally to dispel the bad vibes, what you think mark? or mam liza? lets see, Raimund Marasigan, Ely, Kitchie, Chito, etc it would be fun. tapos me tour.

Rivermaya is not disbanded, umalis lang po si Rico Blanco for personal reasons. Ngayon designer na siya ng isang brand ng damit (Human) at, ayon sa isang litol berd, isa na daw electronica artist...

please correct me if i'm wrong.

We all heard and read both sides of the story (atleast versions from Rivermaya and Blanco), and with the launching of new single, its definite that rivermaya will still be a band.

it will never be the same, but if this change is bad for the band?... time will tell..



in the meantime, Rivermaya launched a new single so lets support the guys. and also Blanco to whatever path he chose to take.

not necessarily, at least not in the traditional sense.

most post-rock bands (e.g. mogwai, explosions in the sky) don't have vocalists, yet they're still considered "bands".

besides, all remaining maya members can sing, so either one of them could be the vocalist... at least til they get a permanent replacement.

maya = imaginings, dreams, mirages. funny, but it has the same meaning in aztec, indonesian, as well as thai.

sometimes i feel i am in the middle of a crazy dream (i hesitate to use the word nightmare or bad dream), but believe me i've had better ones.

however, it is all REAL... i am awake and it is not an avatar of me dreaming of being a manager dreaming of being a manager dreaming of....

im waiting for rivermaya to do continue kunti na lang ang bands ngayon at this time na nakakapagbigay ng kilabot sa kayumanggi kong balat......
all are typical ....even so called emo is just ....well dont need to....for the kids
rivermaya should continue as i am so tired of hearing new bands doing covers even on the first or second album ....
ely and bamboo and onl and their akin peers should stay on the scene...this guys do provide some hope......for OPM.
