Raimund Marasigan.. The "bad boy" of the E-heads

[jacaranda]

Im not saying he's bad.. Im sure that's just another image every rock band wants to have for them to be remembered. But I have a feeling he is... In a good way..  

I just saw his band tonight in one of their gig here at Sta Rosa, Laguna (SM).. (Ayos pala kapitbahay Mall no.. hehe.. tatawid ka lang kalsada, mini concert na) They are doing this nationwide album promo thing.. I was able to watch them and had a little chance to chat.. (I asked raimund.. "tol wala ba reunion ang e'heads?".. he said "pare meron! hehe.. joke lang.. walaaaa!")

I took some pics and videos of their performance, you can see it here http://www.everything-eli.com/blog/?postid=24.. I was able to get the water spray, the KYLA Scandal .. etc.. (very bad.. but good! )

I have to tell you guys, they rocked! kuhang kuha ang hilig ng crowd (of course most of us.. errr.. them are youths) Live and alive sila sa stage! which every band should do to.. They're good! They're having fun.. they love what they do.

Bottom line, Raimund is indeed good in being bad. Crowd loves it!

hahaha.. sobrang idol ko un.. im so lucky lagi namen sila kasama sa mga gigs.. hehehe.. so lagi ko sila napapanood from side ng stage and im telling you man, mong and raims, perfect combination..

naaalala ko once may orc(jologs) na nagtanong, "Raimund nasan si Ely?!?!?!".. he paused for a while sabi nia, "Nasan ung nagtanong?" tpos humarap sha dun, sabi nia, "Si Ely kasama ung lola mo, nagpapakulot" and my God that hirit brought the house down man..

sobrang idol ko yan, sa attitude sa stage.. total performer.. one time sa gig namen, he saw a basketball ring, he hooked his legs on it and suspended himself upside down.. man what a perfomer..

Kakaiba ang energy ng taong 'to.
Has anyone tried doing the dance that he does when they play "Sugod"? Ang hirap sundan....hindi naman sabay sa beat or guitars..pero it works!

[IncX]

since this is a free for all band forum... i just wanna say:

i do not like him.

i do not want to justify why because he isn't making that much money nowadays (with playing music at least) and negative comments are not meant for those who aren't really "up" there.

absolutely... there was this one vocalist who did a backflip, landed on his back, then did a chinese get-up in a span of 2 seconds. i think this was in a major music event show. i did a forward flip in, landed on my back, and it took me 5 seconds to get up normally.

-*-

i can do a helicopter head spin with Sugod... except that the song doesnt deserve a helicopter head spin *lol*

buti na lang pala i know him personally so i can "judge" him. hehehe.

i've known raimund for many many years now. even before i managed the eraserheads, kilala ko na sya, although of course it was only during my two years with the band that i REALLY got to know him.

totoong tao. disente, may prinsipyo. may topak kung may topak sino ba wala? THOUGHTFUL! consciencious...and a sincere friend. will always help you when you're in a bind

That meth joke was way outta line. Raimund doesn't even smoke. he's got asthma (hence his email address asmatik88) . I don't think he does drugs either - he gets high on music.   Lemon does like his beer though

+10000 on KarinA's assessment of Raimund. He is one of the most professional musicians I've met - especially in the recording studio where he's all business. He is also a 100% nice guy and for him its really all about the music - a rarity in these jaded times.  Him and Buddy actually. Maybe that's why these two still get along quite famously.

i am sure raims had his share of kagaguhan in college. i can only speak for him beginning 1998 and since then, clean living. dati one beer pa lang, lasing na yan (hang out naming dalawa malate, UP, o parking lot ng eheads office dati sa malingap). ngayon balita ko kaya na nya 2 beers    nung after party ng MTV pilipinas, nilasing sya ng MOJOFLY on jack and coke    ayun, according to myrene, di na nya maalala na inalalayan namin sya down the stairs of temple bar.  

[drumfreak]

susumbong ko kayo sa idol ko.. lagut kayu kasama kame sa bar tour ng sandwich.. laguuuut kayuu... hehehe..

seriously..

lets just not judge the guy.. he's nice.. intimidating though.. (at first).. =)

[jacaranda]

inggit naman ako sa inyo, KarinA, drumfreak...
you know the guy personally.. Sana ako man..

I was (still am) a big fan then of the e-heads.. even after, i still follow
them.. (san n mga pala si marcus?

well i bumped into cambio's performance in eastwood last saturday. i have not seen buddy in quite a while which is actually why i decided to watch them and skip dinner with my friends before our movie. he has lost weight and looks very good. we were not able to talk though as i left right after their set ended. raimund was not there. malamang may ibang gig.

marcus still chooses to live in la union despite having gigs in baguio and manila, among other locations i'm sure. i just get shocked whenever i receive his texts kasi one day he is texting from manila, two days later i get a text about a baguio gig, and then the next day another text about a gig back in manila! but that's marcus!!!

sa pagkaka alam ko, he is looking for a record label for his next album. i hooked him up with a few A & R guys. ewan ko lang kung ano na ang update dun.

[drumfreak]

si buddy nag bass sa the dawn sa rockestra.. monumental performance.. hehe

Raimund keeps thinking of new ways to put up a really entertaining & fresh show.

yeah...that shocked the hell outta everyone, including mtv!...'cause apparently he didn't tell them about it!

according to him "usapang lasing" lang yun between him and a friend. but the friend called one day to tell him the wings were ready!  

sabi ko sa kanya, ok lang naman yung wings eh. pero mejo bothered ako na hubad sya kasi kita yung n*ppl*s at armpit hair nya! eh sabi naman nya, sabi nung gumawa ng wings, it was either that daw (hubad) or some body-fit spandex top. kaya naghubad na lang daw sya!

i was in his house last week (haven't been there since that one and only time while i was still with the 'heads...7 years ago?). pag pasok mo, yung wings kagad ang makikita mo! flip! so i was so happy i got to see the bat wings up close. wala lang. ang ganda eh.
