From http://rakenrolforever.blogspot.com/2008/03/pinoy-rock-trivia.html
DID YOU KNOW that the term 'Jeprox' was coined by the late Anak Bayan drummer and Pinoy Rock icon Edmond Fortuno? 'Jeprox' was a term used in the 1970's to describe male rockers who sported long hair and lived the rock n' roll lifestyle. It actually started as a shortened version of the phrase, "Jeepney Rock", which in itself described the classic and hard rock music that was being played inside local jeepneys at the time.
Mike Hanopol would later immortalize the term 'Jeprox' is his mega-hit "Laki Sa Layaw" in the late 70's. But it was the inventive mind of Edmond Fortuno who came up with the word which is now a part of Pinoy slang.
**It was also Fortuno's idea to write Tagalog lyrics with rock music which eventually evolved into Pinoy Rock. Pinoy rock bands of the late 60's and early 70's were only doing covers of foreign acts at the time and hadn't written any original material yet.

from here (http://musicouch.com/musicouching/10-amazing-music-trivia-facts-you-never-knew/)
The song “Happy Birthday To You” is not a public-domain composition, despite the 1998 Guinness Book of World Records declaring it to be the most recognised song in the English language.
The melody was written, in 1893, by two kindergarten school teachers, sisters, Patty and Mildred Hill from Kentucky for the song “Good Morning to All.” The Summy Company, who owned the publishing rights of “Good Morning to All”, copyrighted “Happy Birthday to You” in 1935 as a song for hire.
Eventually Time Warner Corporation bought the rights in 1998.
So now a single use in a film or TV programme will cost around $10,000!

Metallica songs:
Welcome Home (Sanitarium), One, Unforgiven, Unforgiven II and The Day That Never Comes; have some rip-off riffs from Fade To Black...
FTB, WH(S), One and TDTNC have similar build-up or arrangement...The intro starts out with clean guitars that carry into the verses, while the choruses are backed with heavily distorted guitars. The bridge speeds up gradually and eventually leads into fast paced harmony between the guitars and a long guitar solo by Hammett...
Unforgiven and Unforgiven II reversed the arrangement...

Gloomy Sunday" is a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress in 1933 to a Hungarian poem written by László Jávor (original Hungarian title of both song and poem "Szomorú vasárnap" (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈsomoruː ˈvɒʃaːrnɒp]), in which the singer reflects on the horrors of modern culture.[1]
Though recorded and performed by many singers, "Gloomy Sunday" is closely associated with Billie Holiday, who scored a hit version of the song in 1941. Owing to unsubstantiated urban legends about its inspiring hundreds of suicides, "Gloomy Sunday" was dubbed the "Hungarian suicide song" in the United States. Seress did commit suicide in 1968, but most other rumors of the song being banned from radio, or sparking suicides, are unsubstantiated, and were partly propagated as a deliberate marketing campaign.[2] Possibly due to the context of the Second World War, Billie Holiday's version was, however, banned by the BBC.[3]
There have been several urban legends regarding the song over the years, mostly involving it being allegedly connected with various numbers of suicides, and radio networks reacting by purportedly banning the song. However, most of these claims are unsubstantiated.[4]
In 1968, Rezső Seress, the original composer, jumped to his death from his apartment. His obituary in the New York Times mentions the song's notorious reputation: “ Budapest, January 13. Rezsoe Seres, whose dirge-like song hit, "Gloomy Sunday" was blamed for touching off a wave of suicides during the nineteen-thirties, has ended his own life as a suicide it was learned today.
Authorities disclosed today that Mr. Seres jumped from a window of his small apartment here last Sunday, shortly after his 69th birthday.
The decade of the nineteen-thirties was marked by severe economic depression and the political upheaval that was to lead to World War II. The melancholy song written by Mr. Seres, with words by his friend, Ladislas Javor, a poet, declares at its climax, "My heart and I have decided to end it all." It was blamed for a sharp increase in suicides, and Hungarian officials finally prohibited it. In America, where Paul Robeson introduced an English version, some radio stations and nightclubs forbade its performance.
Mr. Seres complained that the success of "Gloomy Sunday" actually increased his unhappiness, because he knew he would never be able to write a second hit.
Performers [edit] Recorded versions
There are two English-language versions of the lyrics. The first, by Desmond Carter, was used in the 1935 Paul Robeson recording and a few others. Most English-language recordings have used the Sam Lewis lyrics made famous in Billie Holiday's 1941 recording. That recording added a third verse, not in the original Hungarian song, indicating that the singer was only dreaming about her lover's death. See links below for the lyrics.
Artists who have recorded or reinterpreted the song include:

The Beatles got their name from a line in the movie 'The Wild Ones'. Lee Marvin's character said the motocycle gang wanted Marlon Brando's charcter back, even the beetles (he was referring to the women in the gang). They changed the 'ee' to 'ea' so it was like the musical term 'beat'.

On his debut album 'For You' Prince played 27 different instruments.
AC/DC were featured on the front cover of the first issue of Kerrang Magazine, launched in 1981.
About 2,4 billion CDs are sold annually and the number of recorded CDs and blank CDs sold has been equaled. Around one-third of recorded CDs are pirated.
John Lennon sang into a condom-covered microphone to protect himself from electric shocks while trying to achieve an underwater sound for The Beatles hit "Yellow Submarine," but they never used the zany recording.
David Howell Evans, U2's 'The Edge' used to live in the Los Angeles house where Eric and Lyle Menendez killed their parents in 1989.
The famous long guitar intro to Led Zep's "Stairway To Heaven" is taken from the track "Taurus", which was composed and played by guitarist, the late Randy California when he was only 16 in 1967. The instrumental was dedicated to his Taurian girlfriend and recorded a year later by his band "Spirit". Led Zepplin heard it while on tour with Spirit in USA. (Randy Wolfe, was named "California" by his great friend of Jimi Hendrix, who tried to bring him to the UK, but Randy was too young at the time).
Paul Weller played guitar on Champagne Supernova by Oasis.
English rock band, Black Sabbath, formed in Birmingham in 1968 by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, was originally formed as a heavy blues-rock band named "Earth", the band began incorporating occult and horror-inspired lyrics with tuned-down guitars, and changed their name to "Black Sabbath". The band has since experienced multiple lineup changes, with a total of twenty-two former members.
Rolling Stones guitarist, Brian Jones, played oboe on "Baby You're A Rich Man" by the Beatles

NBA swingman Jerry Stackhouse has twice performed the National Anthem before Mavericks home games, and once during the Bucks 2010 playoff appearance.
On April 25, 2003, during a game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Dallas Mavericks, Maurice Cheeks, coach of Trail Blazers, aided 13-year-old Natalie Gilbert in singing the National anthem. After Gilbert forgot the words at "At the twilight's last gleaming", Cheeks rushed over to help her and they finished it together, as the entire Rose Garden Arena crowd sang with them. Cheeks and Gilbert received a standing ovation after the song was over.
The late former NBA player Wayman Tisdale was a smooth jazz bassist. He launched his music career with Power Forward in 1995 on the Motown Label. He recorded eight albums, with the 2001 release Face to Face climbing to No. 1 on Billboard's contemporary jazz chart. In 2002, he was awarded the Legacy Tribute Award by the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. In an ESPN internet chat, Tisdale said his musical influences include funk bands of the 1970s. His most recent release, Rebound, was written and released after he had been diagnosed with cancer.

The intro riff to the Metallica song "Don't Tread on Me" from the album 'Metallica' was borrowed from the song "America" in the movie West Side Story. Lars Ulrich used to be a tennis player during child/younghood and played some important matches at European level with young tennis players such as Boris Becker. Metallica's first ever gig was on 14th March 1982 at Radio City in Anaheim, California. When the covers for 'Ride the Lightning' were being printed, an error occurred at the European printing press and a few of the covers came out green instead of blue. These days, the records with the green covers are considered to be extremely rare. Frontman James Hetfield was originally in a short-lived band named Leather Charm, alongside bassist Ron McGovney (who spent only a year in Metallica).When Hetfield decided that his band Leather Charm should move to be more serious, the band broke up. Short after, Metallica was born.

DID YOU KNOW that the term 'Jeprox' was coined by the late Anak Bayan drummer and Pinoy Rock icon Edmond Fortuno? 'Jeprox' was a term used in the 1970's to describe male rockers who sported long hair and lived the rock n' roll lifestyle. It actually started as a shortened version of the phrase, "Jeepney Rock", which in itself described the classic and hard rock music that was being played inside local jeepneys at the time.
Mike Hanopol would later immortalize the term 'Jeprox' is his mega-hit "Laki Sa Layaw" in the late 70's. But it was the inventive mind of Edmond Fortuno who came up with the word which is now a part of Pinoy slang.
**It was also Fortuno's idea to write Tagalog lyrics with rock music which eventually evolved into Pinoy Rock. Pinoy rock bands of the late 60's and early 70's were only doing covers of foreign acts at the time and hadn't written any original material yet " i thought the word JEPROX eh PROJECT spelled backwards??????????

The word "gig" as in, "I have a gig", or "Anyone looking for a gig", comes from the name of a turn of the century horse drawn wagon. It had a large area in the back for carrying bigger instruments, such as a tuba and a double bass (standup bass). So musicians could be heard asking, "Anyone have a gig?, "Do you know where I can find a gig?" which meant they were looking for the transportation for getting their instruments out to the venue for their performance.
One more....in the movie "Woodstock", the song "Handsome Johnny" as sung by Richie Havens was written by (later to be) actor Lou Gosset Jr.

* Wolf Gemora, original drummer of popular band late 90's Wolfgang, during that time, Wolfgang doesn't have a drummer yet. Wolf Gemora auditioned after he took Drum lessons in "2 WEEKS only". after that, Wolfgang is not active anymore in the music scene, he and Basti Artadi (lead vox) formed a new group somewhere in South America based called "Lokomotiv"
watch this but after they launched their first album, Basti left the group and reconciled with Wolfgang which currently doing gigs ans stuffs esp. in Tanduay First Five with PNE, Sandwich, Chicosci, Kamikazee.

Kwento ni Chito Miranda tungkol sa dalawang sa maraming kanta ng PnE:
Dati may kabarkada akong babae sa UP Diliman.
Pangalang nya "Michelle"... Hindi naman sya maganda... cute lang.
Anyway, tropa lang talaga kami at araw araw kaming magkasama... pero everyday na nakakasama ko sya, parang napansin ko na dahan dahan akong nadedevelop... Since kabarkada ko naman si Michelle, and since close talaga kami, kaya ko syang biruin at daanin sa mga pa-cute na hirit na may gusto ako kunyari sa kanya... palagi ko syang tinutukso sa akin. Hehe! Tatawa lang kami at ng mga kabarkada namin... Di nila alam na may gusto pala talaga ako sa kanya. Since parang joke lang palagi yung mga hirit ko, nahirapan akong aminin na siryoso ako... I really wanted to tell her.... Pero ang hirap humanap ng timing.... at sa isang torpeng katulad ko, NEVER dumadating ang tamang timing.
Hanggang nakita ko nalang si Michelle na may ka-holding hands mula sa kabilang section. Patay. Para akong sinuntok sa dibdib. Bakit wala akong ginawa?!... Na-isip ko "kelangan ko ipa-alam ang tunay kong nararamdaman"
I wrote her a letter. I told her everything... na matagal na akong may gusto sa kanya. Napa-i love you ako ng di oras sa letter ko sa kanya. Nilagay ko yung sulat sa bag nya. Kina-usap ako ni Michelle after nya mabasa yung sulat ko. Tinanong nya ko kung siryoso ba talaga ako sa mga pinagsasabi ko sa letter.
Sabi ko oo.... Di sya naniniwala. Kasi kung totoo daw yun, i would've done something about it.
Feeling nya tuloy [avocado] ko lang sya at parang di nalang nya pinansin yung mga sinabi ko sa sulat.
Mula noon, hindi na kami tulad ng dati... Lumipas na ang panahon at may asawa na si Michelle, and we've remained good friends hanggang ngayon.... Pinagtatawanan nalang namin ngayon yung mga nangyari nung college pa kami. At proud naman sya na may dalawa akong nagawang kanta para sa kanya.
"Maniwala Ka Sana" at "Sayang" :)

mga post ni Chito Miranda thru PnE fan page
1.
Nung mga bata pa kami, namulat kami kina Voltes 5, Mazinger Z, sa Transformers, sa Bioman, at kay Shaider (pati na rin sa panty ni Annie...hihi!)
Kapanahunan din namin ang Family Computer. :) Nasira ang mga ulo namin sa pagkuha ng 100 lives sa Super Mario Bros at sa pag-pindot ng up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start para makakuha ng 30 lives sa Super Contra.
Sa sobrang adik ko sa Super Contra, naka-buo pa ako ng kanta based sa back ground music nito.
Yung title ng kanta na nagawa ko is "Bagsakan" :)
2.
Mini-Trivia muna tayo tungkol sa "Akala"
This song was release nung 2007. Kasama sa album namin na "Solid".
Pero yung kantang "Akala" ay nasulat ko nung 2002 pa. Mas luma pa sa Mr.Suave at Yesyesyhow.
Di ko lang pinaparinig sa mga kabanda ko yung kanta kasi di ko masyado nagustuhan nung natapos ko isulat.
For 5 years, tinago ko lang yung kanta sa isang notebook, thinking the song wasn't good enough to be released.
After 5 years, narealize ko na kahit di sya ganun kaganda, sobrang gusto ko naman yung message...so I decided to present it to my bandmates.
They liked the song and we decided to record it. :)
Buti nalang.
The song "Akala" became a single and was used by a politician for his campaign 3 yrs ago, and more recently, ginamit ito ng Nescafe for our tvc with Zendee. :)
And ngayon, ito rin yung song na gamit namin for our new ad for Nescafe, kasama ng internet action star na si Ramon Bautista.
Nasulit namin yung kanta.
Buti nalang sinubukan namin irecord yung kanta kahit nagdadalawang isip ako nung una...di mo talaga malalaman hangga't hindi mo subukan.
3.
Sino ba talaga si Edgar?
Wala pong Edgar sa amin.
Yung phrase na "Parokya ni Edgar" ay nanggaling sa classmate namin na si Bambi Cuna.
Tinanong si Bambi ng teacher namin kung saan nag-aral si Crisostomo Ibarra.
Yun yung sagot nya.
..sa Parokya ni Edgar.
Dumikit sa utak namin yung "Parokya ni Edgar" at yun yung inannounce ni Jeric na pangalan namin nung una kaming sumamapa sa stage.
Wala na kaming choice kundi gamitin yun bilang pangalan ng banda namin.
4.
Nagsimula kami ng 1993.
Madalas kami magkantahan ni Gab sa classroom. Kasama ng isa pa naming kaklase na si Mikko Yap, we formed a group and called ourselves "Comic Relief". Wala lang. Trip-trip lang. Pakanta-kanta lang after classes. Minsan tatambay muna kami kina Mikko bago umuwi tapos magrerecord kami sa cassette tape ng mga kung anu-anong kanta. Wala lang talaga.
December, 1993: We were asked by our moderator to sing "Father and Son" in front of our batch sa isang speech contest (actually si Gab lang pero syempre understood na yun na kasama din kami ni Mikko...hehe).
Sinama na rin namin si Vinci at isa pa naming kaklase na si Jeric para mas masaya. Hehe!
Pag-akyat namin ng stage, sinabi nalang bigla ni Jeric sa mic, "Kami ang Parokya ni Edgar"
Kinanta namin yung "Nakaw Ang Wallet Ko" instead na yung "Father and Son"
Nagsigawan sa katatawa yung mga ka-batch namin.
Dun na nagsimula ang lahat. :)
A week after our 1st gig, we were asked to perform in front of the lower batches, and eventually sa harap ng buong high school nung '93 xmas program.
3mons later (March 11) nagfront act kami sa Eheads nung nag-gig sila sa Ateneo. Sinama ko si Buwi at Dindin para may bass at drums.
Since may issues sya regarding his chances of graduating, Jeric decided na di na sumama sa gig/kalokohan namin. :(
A month later (April 6), we were asked to perform sa Club Dredd.
Mikko left after summer to study in UPLB.
Pinasok ni Buwi si Darius.
We were finally complete. :)
The following year (1995), we started recording para sa 1st album.
After a year, nilabas namin yung Khangkhungkherrnitz.

Literal na children's laughter played backwards ay inilagay sa mix ng kantang to. It's audible (if im not mistaken) sa 2nd verse ng kanta.

Si Jason Newsted nag-bow sa pagsamba sa Electric Sky Church (Sky Church na ngayon) noong pumunta siya sa Club Dredd sa EDSA nung 90s. :) Pagkatapos tumugtog ng ESC, pumunta sa stage si Newsted at lumuhod at sinamba ang mga halimaw na mga bata (bata pa sila noon).

DID YOU KNOW that the term 'Jeprox' was coined by the late Anak Bayan drummer and Pinoy Rock icon Edmond Fortuno? 'Jeprox' was a term used in the 1970's to describe male rockers who sported long hair and lived the rock n' roll lifestyle. It actually started as a shortened version of the phrase, "Jeepney Rock", which in itself described the classic and hard rock music that was being played inside local jeepneys at the time.
Mike Hanopol would later immortalize the term 'Jeprox' is his mega-hit "Laki Sa Layaw" in the late 70's. But it was the inventive mind of Edmond Fortuno who came up with the word which is now a part of Pinoy slang.
**It was also Fortuno's idea to write Tagalog lyrics with rock music which eventually evolved into Pinoy Rock. Pinoy rock bands of the late 60's and early 70's were only doing covers of foreign acts at the time and hadn't written any original material yet " i thought the word JEPROX eh PROJECT spelled backwards??????????
napanood ko lang kanina! etong thread nato naisip ko
re: jeprox ---> EXPLAINED
project ang meaning

Pinoy Rock drummer:
Vic Mercado, former drummer of Bamboo told me before that he preferred 18'' or larger diameter Crash Cymbals for better reach.
But contrary in the case of a Ride Cymbal which has a standard size of 20'' or bigger, he opt for a smaller diameter. That is because with the same reason as well. Smaller diameter Ride Cymbal make you easily reach its Bell which is very important in its characteristics. Specifically it is a Zildjian K Custom 18'' Session Ride, designed by renowned session drummer Steve Gadd.
But after they disbanded last 2011, he also changes his drum set setup even the cymbals setup as well. He's often seen using Zildjian Constantinople Ride which is well known in having a larger diameter, a Hi-hat, and one Crash Cymbal. A different setup from what we usually see in his Bamboo days which has tons and various cymbals.

si Noel Mendez ang nagsolo sa Kaleidoscope World, si Perf de Castro ang bumanat sa intro.
Perf de Castro leaves Rivermaya bago pa man gawin ang second album, so andun pa din si Bamboo sa 2nd and 3rd album at si Rico Blanco na ang nasa gitara

Rico Blanco's live band was usually composed of Robert de la Cruz (of Queso and Skychurch) on drums and Ricci Gurango (formerly of Hungry Young Poets and Mojofly) on bass, while Rico plays guitars and keyboards. Many other session musicians join him on stage from time to time.

Naging myembro ng Sugarfree si Rico Blanco, kasama sya nung nafeature ang Sugarfree sa "In the Raw" ni Francis Brew sa UNTV (nung hawak pa ito ng NU). Umalis din sya sa Sugarfree dahil kaputukan ng Maya nun at hindi nya kayang pagsabayin.
