Title: may yumayaman ba sa pagbabanda?
Post by: lucy_monostone on August 06, 2008, 11:22:23 PM
may yumayaman ba talaga sa pag babanda? karamihan kase ng mga kakilala kong sikat na (may may album, music video, radio air play, regular gig, tv featured, etc.) sikat lang sila pero hindi "daw" sila kumikita. not sure kung pa humble epek lang yun.. madalas pa sabihin ng mga parents natin, "walang mangyayari sa pag bbanda mo", "walang pera sa pag bbanda", etc,,  :-D ...ano opinion nyo dito?

hehehe syempre di natin isasama yung pioneer na. yung ngayon lang year 2000 lumabas. kase nung kapanahunan nila eheads, konti pa lang ang competition at style ng music, ganon din ang piracy at other forms of music technology. so malaki talaga ang chance nila na magkaron ng break. right place at the right time ika nga.  :lol:

I guess 6CM.  Unless they spend their money on drugs and other vices. 
PNE too.  One of the highest-paid bands.

i guess in that situation the corporate ladder rule also applies.
PNE is in the list. how about bamboo? mainstream bands that do a lot of commercial /adworks.

teka, di na pagbabanda yun. as i also observed, some mainstream band members are relatively more 'well off'. IMO, it also gives some advantage to a band. i want to say something more but i know some people have more rights than i do.  :-D

its hard to get rich in the Philippine music industry. Our market is too small for an artist to earn X number of pesos, plus the fact piracy is rampant and in-your-face in our country.

Put it this way:

The State of California as of 2007 Census has 36,553,215 this is roughly half the size of the ENTIRE Philippine population which is around 80 Million as of recent estimates.

Kung baga, if you were to put it in perspectice..... A "sikat" pinoy band has a fan base equivalent of only the size of ONE state.

In effect, its like your just one of a STATE's local popular band, but not yet as big as the international touring acts we are so familiar with seeing like Linkin Park and Slipknot.

Relating this now to money money and sales:

A Gold Record in Philippine terms is a sale of 15,000 units and to earn a Platinum record is 30,000 units.

So example if I were a pop rock star. Then I got extremely lucky and had a hit single and record, and managed to earn a Platinum record, a very very hard feat to do nowadays, then get my own 15 minute awarding spot at a variety noon time show.

So lets say I get 100 pesos for every CD i moved, so I roughly earned Php 300,000 by having a Platinum record.

Thats not even enough to buy a new car, let along purchase a brand new house and lot.

------------------

Relate it to US of A terms.

Ludacris' "Release Therapy" album as of 2007 sold 3.7 million copies and was Certified 3x platinum. (in the USA, a platinum record is when you move 1 million copies)

So even is he only get TWO  DOLLARS from every sale of the CD (which is ridiculous, he probably gets 50%) he would have taken home $7.4 Million.

or

Php 301 Million pesos.

Then refer again to..... IF MY 200 MILLION KA MAGBABANDA KA PA BA thread hahahahahaha

So thats my opion, hindi ka yayaman sa pagbabanda sa Pilipinas by CD sales alone.

digitalcyco got it half-right about how it goes in the US.

The artists do get a share for records.  It's considerably less than the amount mentioned though.  To wit, may I point out Steve Albini's essay regarding the record industry:

http://www.negativland.com/albini.html (http://www.negativland.com/albini.html)

The Problem With Music
by Steve Albini

Whenever I talk to a band who are about to sign with a major label, I always end up thinking of them in a particular context. I imagine a trench, about four feet wide and five feet deep, maybe sixty yards long, filled with runny, decaying [gooey brown stuff]. I imagine these people, some of them good friends, some of them barely acquaintances, at one end of this trench. I also imagine a faceless industry lackey at the other end holding a fountain pen and a contract waiting to be signed. Nobody can see what's printed on the contract. It's too far away, and besides, the [gooey brown stuff] stench is making everybody's eyes water. The lackey shouts to everybody that the first one to swim the trench gets to sign the contract. Everybody dives in the trench and they struggle furiously to get to the other end. Two people arrive simultaneously and begin wrestling furiously, clawing each other and dunking each other under the [gooey brown stuff]. Eventually, one of them capitulates, and there's only one contestant left. He reaches for the pen, but the Lackey says "Actually, I think you need a little more development. Swim again, please. Backstroke". And he does of course.

Every major label involved in the hunt for new bands now has on staff a high-profile point man, an "A & R" rep who can present a comfortable face to any prospective band. The initials stand for "Artist and Repertoire." because historically, the A & R staff would select artists to record music that they had also selected, out of an available pool of each. This is still the case, though not openly. These guys are universally young [about the same age as the bands being wooed], and nowadays they always have some obvious underground rock credibility flag they can wave.

Lyle Preslar, former guitarist for Minor Threat, is one of them. Terry Tolkin, former NY independent booking agent and assistant manager at Touch and Go is one of them. Al Smith, former soundman at CBGB is one of them. Mike Gitter, former editor of XXX fanzine and contributor to Rip, Kerrang and other lowbrow rags is one of them. Many of the annoying turds who used to staff college radio stations are in their ranks as well. There are several reasons A & R scouts are always young. The explanation usually copped-to is that the scout will be "hip to the current musical "scene." A more important reason is that the bands will intuitively trust someone they think is a peer, and who speaks fondly of the same formative rock and roll experiences. The A & R person is the first person to make contact with the band, and as such is the first person to promise them the moon. Who better to promise them the moon than an idealistic young turk who expects to be calling the shots in a few years, and who has had no previous experience with a big record company. Hell, he's as naive as the band he's duping. When he tells them no one will interfere in their creative process, he probably even believes it. When he sits down with the band for the first time, over a plate of angel hair pasta, he can tell them with all sincerity that when they sign with company X, they're really signing with him and he's on their side. Remember that great gig I saw you at in '85? Didn't we have a blast. By now all rock bands are wise enough to be suspicious of music industry scum. There is a pervasive caricature in popular culture of a portly, middle aged ex-hipster talking a mile-a-minute, using outdated jargon and calling everybody "baby." After meeting "their" A & R guy, the band will say to themselves and everyone else, "He's not like a record company guy at all! He's like one of us." And they will be right. That's one of the reasons he was hired.

These A & R guys are not allowed to write contracts. What they do is present the band with a letter of intent, or "deal memo," which loosely states some terms, and affirms that the band will sign with the label once a contract has been agreed on. The spookiest thing about this harmless sounding little memo, is that it is, for all legal purposes, a binding document. That is, once the band signs it, they are under obligation to conclude a deal with the label. If the label presents them with a contract that the band don't want to sign, all the label has to do is wait. There are a hundred other bands willing to sign the exact same contract, so the label is in a position of strength. These letters never have any terms of expiration, so the band remain bound by the deal memo until a contract is signed, no matter how long that takes. The band cannot sign to another laborer or even put out its own material unless they are released from their agreement, which never happens. Make no mistake about it: once a band has signed a letter of intent, they will either eventually sign a contract that suits the label or they will be destroyed.

One of my favorite bands was held hostage for the better part of two years by a slick young "He's not like a label guy at all," A & R rep, on the basis of such a deal memo. He had failed to come through on any of his promises [something he did with similar effect to another well-known band], and so the band wanted out. Another label expressed interest, but when the A & R man was asked to release the band, he said he would need money or points, or possibly both, before he would consider it. The new label was afraid the price would be too dear, and they said no thanks. On the cusp of making their signature album, an excellent band, humiliated, broke up from the stress and the many months of inactivity. There's this band. They're pretty ordinary, but they're also pretty good, so they've attracted some attention. They're signed to a moderate-sized "independent" label owned by a distribution company, and they have another two albums owed to the label. They're a little ambitious. They'd like to get signed by a major label so they can have some security you know, get some good equipment, tour in a proper tour bus -- nothing fancy, just a little reward for all the hard work. To that end, they got a manager. He knows some of the label guys, and he can shop their next project to all the right people. He takes his cut, sure, but it's only 15%, and if he can get them signed then it's money well spent. Anyways, it doesn't cost them anything if it doesn't work. 15% of nothing isn't much! One day an A & R scout calls them, says he's 'been following them for a while now, and when their manager mentioned them to him, it just "clicked." Would they like to meet with him about the possibility of working out a deal with his label? Wow. Big Break time. They meet the guy, and y'know what -- he's not what they expected from a label guy. He's young and dresses pretty much like the band does. He knows all their favorite bands. He's like one of them. He tells them he wants to go to bat for them, to try to get them everything they want. He says anything is possible with the right attitude.

They conclude the evening by taking home a copy of a deal memo they wrote out and signed on the spot. The A & R guy was full of great ideas, even talked about using a name producer. Butch Vig is out of the question-he wants 100 g's and three points, but they can get Don Fleming for $30,000 plus three points. Even that's a little steep, so maybe they'll go with that guy who used to be in David Letterman's band. He only wants three points. Or they can have just anybody record it (like Warton Tiers, maybe-- cost you 5 or 7 grand] and have Andy Wallace remix it for 4 grand a track plus 2 points. It was a lot to think about. Well, they like this guy and they trust him. Besides, they already signed the deal memo. He must have been serious about wanting them to sign. They break the news to their current label, and the label manager says he wants them to succeed, so they have his blessing. He will need to be compensated, of course, for the remaining albums left on their contract, but he'll work it out with the label himself.

Sub Pop made millions from selling off Nirvana, and Twin Tone hasn't done bad either: 50 grand for the Babes and 60 grand for the Poster Children-- without having to sell a single additional record. It'll be something modest. The new label doesn't mind, so long as it's recoupable out of royalties. Well, they get the final contract, and it's not quite what they expected. They figure it's better to be safe than sorry and they turn it over to a lawyer--one who says he's experienced in entertainment law and he hammers out a few bugs. They're still not sure about it, but the lawyer says he's seen a lot of contracts, and theirs is pretty good. They'll be great royalty: 13% [less a 1O% packaging deduction]. Wasn't it Buffalo Tom that were only getting 12% less 10? Whatever. The old label only wants 50 grand, an no points. Hell, Sub Pop got 3 points when they let Nirvana go. They're signed for four years, with options on each year, for a total of over a million dollars! That's a lot of money in any man's English. The first year's advance alone is $250,000. Just think about it, a quarter million, just for being in a rock band! Their manager thinks it's a great deal, especially the large advance. Besides, he knows a publishing company that will take the band on if they get signed, and even give them an advance of 20 grand, so they'll be making that money too. The manager says publishing is pretty mysterious, and nobody really knows where all the money comes from, but the lawyer can look that contract over too. Hell, it's free money. Their booking agent is excited about the band signing to a major. He says they can maybe average $1,000 or $2,000 a night from now on. That's enough to justify a five week tour, and with tour support, they can use a proper crew, buy some good equipment and even get a tour bus! Buses are pretty expensive, but if you figure in the price of a hotel room for everybody In the band and crew, they're actually about the same cost. Some bands like Therapy? and Sloan and Stereolab use buses on their tours even when they're getting paid only a couple hundred bucks a night, and this tour should earn at least a grand or two every night. It'll be worth it. The band will be more comfortable and will play better.

The agent says a band on a major label can get a merchandising company to pay them an advance on T-shirt sales! ridiculous! There's a gold mine here! The lawyer Should look over the merchandising contract, just to be safe. They get drunk at the signing party. Polaroids are taken and everybody looks thrilled. The label picked them up in a limo. They decided to go with the producer who used to be in Letterman's band. He had these technicians come in and tune the drums for them and tweak their amps and guitars. He had a guy bring in a slew of expensive old "vintage" microphones. Boy, were they "warm." He even had a guy come in and check the phase of all the equipment in the control room! Boy, was he professional. He used a bunch of equipment on them and by the end of it, they all agreed that it sounded very "punchy," yet "warm." All that hard work paid off. With the help of a video, the album went like hotcakes! They sold a quarter million copies! Here is the math that will explain just how [strawberry] they are: These figures are representative of amounts that appear in record contracts daily. There's no need to skew the figures to make the scenario look bad, since real-life examples more than abound. income is bold and underlined, expenses are not.

Manager's cut:    $ 3,000
Lawyer's fee:    $ 1,000
Record sales:    250,000 @ $12 =
$3,000,000
Gross retail revenue Royalty:    [13% of 90% of retail]:
$ 351,000
Less advance:    $ 250,000

$1,625,000 gross income

Deficit from royalties:    $ 14,000
Manufacturing, packaging and distribution:    @ $2.20 per record: $ 550,000
Gross profit:    $ 7l0,000

Record company:    $ 710,000
Producer:    $ 90,000
Manager:    $ 51,000
Studio:    $ 52,500
Previous label:    $ 50,000
Agent:    $ 7,500
Lawyer:    $ 12,000
Band member net income each:    $ 4,031.25

The band is now 1/4 of the way through its contract, has made the music industry more than 3 million dollars richer, but is in the hole $14,000 on royalties. The band members have each earned about 1/3 as much as they would working at a 7-11, but they got to ride in a tour bus for a month. The next album will be about the same, except that the record company will insist they spend more time and money on it. Since the previous one never "recouped," the band will have no leverage, and will oblige. The next tour will be about the same, except the merchandising advance will have already been paid, and the band, strangely enough, won't have earned any royalties from their T-shirts yet. Maybe the T-shirt guys have figured out how to count money like record company guys. Some of your friends are probably already this [strawberry].

i think this is true.

you need to have at least enough money to finance your band, buy yourself decent gear and should be able to afford to spend for rehearsals and get your arses to gigs.

of course, this doesnt apply to all. but I can categorically say that having the $$$ can sure help a band get somewhere.

I'd say half true...

cause they can afford not to work for a living, given their situation...

more time sa band..more focus...

depende sa type of music and appeal sa tao kaya yumayaman ang banda.
hindi na kikita banda ngayon kung sa album at cd sales lang kelangan nila ng gig and endorsement. mas malaki pa nga kinikita minsan sa gig at endoresment kesa sa cd sales.

tas kelangan medyo trendy din kasi mabilis magsawa mga tao/audience/fans. laging may lumalabas na bagong banda.

yung ibang talented na musikero dito nagaabroad kasi mas malaki pa kikitain nila magshow band sa abroad kesa sumikat dito. walang suporta dito e. kadalasan pineperahan lang ng mga bar and production mga banda pero walang balik.

kaya wag masyado magseryoso sa pagbabanda. hobby lang muna. para mas enjoy... :mrgreen:

in general dito saatin di ko masasabi na yumaman nagkaroon lang ng steady income i guess, unlike sa states pag nagkaroon ka ng isang hit panigurado mafefeature ka na sa mtv cribs dahil may pera ka na:-D gawa rin siguro dahil maliit market natin dito kaya kailangan din ilabas ng bansa yung tugtugan natin, parang ganito yung tingin ko tong philippines sabihin na natin na parang isang state like washington, tapos yung mga bansang singapore, thailand, hk, japan, etc parang california, new york, etc. kailangan lang may passport para maka tour dun and mag bubook sayo dun so kungbaga yung asia parang usa,  anyway balik kung yumayaman siguro kung tipong eheads sabi binigyan ng malaking anda para tumugtog ng one night only malaking halaga na talaga yun pero kung compare mo sa one night only ng led zep yun binigay sa kanila mejo barya pa talaga:)

marami na ring yumaman pero hindi katulad ng iniisip nyong YAMAN.

in general, musicians who knows what they are doing and going is the one who excel financially. dami ko ng musiko na nakausap na from RAGS TO RICHES ika nga. sila yung mga musikong may pangarap and STRAIGHT! you know what i mean.

there is this one musician, who i envy a lot because of the struggle as a touring musician and after that being succesful, mga taga BF paranaque baka kilala nyo 'to. he goes by the name DIXIE. when he was starting out, i think it was 60's or 70's, his band went abroad to earn more money. i think its vietnam ata. his wife is pregnant when he left. pero nung dumating sila dun, wala silang trabaho kasi naloko sila ng promoter na kumuha sa kanila. after 3 weeks( still no gig) her wife called telling him na NASUNUGAN sila, pero hindi nya na sinabi ng wala silang trabaho para hindi ma-upset yung wife nya. being the bandleader, his eager to get a job for the band because he is also concern about his member's family.

after almost 2months of no work, he bump in to this guy na chef sa US base na nagkataon eh frustrated musician. he told him that he is struggling to get work for his band and GUTOM na sila. gumawa ng paraan yung kaibigan nyang chef na makatugtug sila sa loob ng base pero walang bayad. CHIBOG lang. so, tinanggap na nila yun pang tawid gutom nila. pero kailangan nilang mag sneak in papasok at palabas ng base kasi bawal. and then the time comes for them to play. 1st song palang nila, nagulat sila kasi yung mga tao nagbabato ng pera(US dollars) sa kanila, akala nila binabato sila kaya tumigil sila. sabi ng kaibigan nya " play, money is what you want then thats what you gonna get"! and the rest is history!

now, he has a big house in BF. 6 cars. full band studio. full band set up for outdoor. and all of his children are highly educated. some of them graduated from the US. lahat yan nakuha nya sa pagiging MUSIKO! :-)

Merong yumayaman, pero mababa ang ratio. Siguro  mga less than 5% lang ang mga yumaman tlaga.

Mas magandang term siguro yung kumita instead na yumaman

Dito  kc sa bansa natin, mababa ang royalties ng mga talents. Di tulad sa ibang bansa kahit mga one-hit wonders. Big time na agad.


Kaya pag naghit ang song ninyo, strike while the iron is hot. Todo concert at tv appearance agad para kumita.

oo tama ka kumikita meron pero yumayaman di siguro..kasi yung kinikita mo tama lang sa paguuprade ng mga gears mo eh..saka yung mga sasakyan na ikagiginhawa sa gig niyo..

tignan niyo nalang yung mga hiphop artist sa US sila nelly,timbaland etc..lahat sila yumayaman kagad sa pagrarap di tulad dito yung salbakuta tumanda nalang sa pagrarap di pa rin umaasenso...

pasensya na mga sir ha pero just like i said MERON ng yumaman. it all depends how you measure that YAMAN.

marami pang kwento tungkol sa pakikipagsapalaran ng mga pinoy musiko. sobrang dami, na hindi ko akalain na yung iba ay mararanasan ko. kung may kilala kayo na working/gigging musician na nakaranas ng pakikipagsapalaran sa pinas at sa ibayong dagat, tanungin nyo sila kung pano talaga ang buhay BANDA. :-)

I just watched MTV cribs earlier and I just watched New found glory's guitarist yung mataba di ako fan nila kaya di ko siya kilala..Grabe napakaganda ng bahay nila at ang trabaho lang niya eh ang pagbabanda..Imagine kung yung ibang tao magtatake pa ng nursing course dahil sabi ng mga nanay nila na dun sila yayaman kahit na ayaw mo.. pero mga banda sa US kahit di nagtapos mas maunlad pa sa iba.

Naalala ko yung show sa myx ng kamikazee yung "banda san" ata name nun may nainterview si Jay na isang bandista din then pabiro niyang tinanong dun sa singer na "Ate anu po ba gusto niyo sabihin sa gobyerno natin ngayon?"then the woman answered "Sana taasan ang bayad sa mga musicians sa philippines kasi ang hirap ng ginagawa natin para lang magentertain sana dagdagan kahit konti."

Walang yumayaman sa pagbabanda.

Yung mga sikat na banda na-bigyan lang sila ng maraming opportunities (product endorsement, band management, connections, etc) kaya yumaman.

Pero kung pagbabanda lang, mahirap.

kung sa US and Europe..gaganda din ng careers ng mga skateboarders and nagbbmx..imaginin mo kung sa pinas..parang impossible maging career mga to..pagtatawanan ka lang ng mga tao..

palagay ko pag di pa sikat banda mo..99.99% chance wag mo nang asahan yayaman ka..

pag sumikat at nagka hits at tinangkilik album mo...maiiba yung percentage sa 98.99% na makakaafford ka ng rockstar luxuries..

Naalala ko sinabi ng singer ng Phantom Planet..yung kanta na "California" ang nakatulong sa kanila makabili ng Porche, Range Rover etc...hahahaha..

anyway..sa opinion ko...napakahirap umasa sa pagbabanda para guminhawa ang buhay..and besides there are better and esier and more tried and tested ways to find wealth....yun nalang tahakin mo as priority..tapos banda ka nalang on the side..kesa na umasa ka na yayaman ka sa pagbanda..


kung mayaman naman kayo talaga at mapera si papa and mama...why not..maging hipster ka nalang at magartist/photographer bass player..habang  kaya pa ng mga magulang mo idole out ka sa finances....pero..duh..sino ba naman ang may gusto nito..

well, if you're speaking in absolutes.
Yes, mayroong yumayaman sa pagbabanda, a very tiny percentage siguro

the same way na merong yumayaman sa pagtataho, pagbebenta ng ice cream etc.

however, if you're comparing it to different more commercial industries, obviously mas maraming chances to earn financially from them.

here's a cold hard truth: it's not for everyone. who said life was fair?

ung bands having mega endorsements from companies,tv etc. they've done their share of heartches and hard stuff and playing on all kinds of [gooey brown stuff] places. sometimes they're also just lucky.

Unless may cameo ka sa mga shows sa TV, walang mangyayari sa pagbabanda.

In this day and age (not to mention this country), being in a band could not sustain your living, so it should not be a priority. Mukha lang mayaman yung mga idol natin, compared to us who are working in a corporate world. Why, you might ask. Most of them don't have insurance, social security, health benefits, etc. Their savings are liquid and hati-hati pa sila dun. Pano kung mala-Slipknot ang lineup nyo tapos every weekend lang kayo tumutugtog? Labas nyan puro pancit canton araw araw.

Let's say nasa super band ka na, earning 7,000–10,000 per song; with gigs every weekend; apat kayo, with managers and roadies. You can hit 75,000–85,000 per month net. Mukhang ok na, but remember, these are liquid savings. Wala pa dyan ang gastos sa tour, recording, gears, at lahat ng kailangan na hindi naka-budget para sa banda.

Being in a band isn't all that bad, neither is it all that good. It should be approached as if it was a job that you intend to have. Kung pano ka mag-isip sa paghanap ng trabaho, dapat ganun din sa pagpasok sa banda if you intend to make a career out of it.

On a side note: Working in a bank, I have seen so many famous band members apply for a loan and they always get turned down because of their poor credit standing. Why? We don't consider musicians as a "stable career". Unless you're Willie Revillame.

IMHO wealth should never be a motivation for any career, lalo na sa mga creative fields. Do it for the love of the art. Most sucess stories are like that naman. Sa RHCP, flea and anthony started out from nothing doing gigs and shows para lang may pang heroin sila and because they love making music with each other. Si Frusciante on the other hand wished for a life of wealth, fame, sex and drugs; in short a rockstar life. Pero look where it got him, di nya kinaya yung fame and drugs he ended up despising the band and their fame while being locked up in his house shooting heroin until his veins  wore out. Kinda like a cobain or a hendrix story but with a lighter ending, since he cleaned up and returned to the band just for the love of music. Fast forward to today he quit his famous and mayamang band to pursue hos own creative side kahit walang kita and walang fame.

But what do i know haha naOT na ata sa haba ng post  :-P

siguro for the love of music na lang ang pagbabanda, mahirap i-asa ang kinabukasan sa pagbabanda. Mahirap itaya ang buhay natin at ng mga anak natin sa pagbabanda. siguro dapat isipin na lang na libangan ang pagbabanda, kung sinwerte e di ok..pero wag masayadong maging attached dito. iba pa din ang may 8 to 5 job.

exceptional din naman kasi ang mga bandang tulad ng nirvana, metallica, pearl jam, weezer, green day at iba pa. kasi malaki ang populasyon sa US, kung ticket sales na lang ang paguusapan malaki talaga, at bukod doon magaganda pa mga kanta nila.

ang hirap lang kung walang ibang racket bukod sa pagbabanda kasi kapag na-laos na wala ng kita. iba padin ang day job kahit paano may sweldo tuwing kinsena.

siguro yung mga yumayaman lang talaga yun tipong magagaling at magaganda mga kanta pati yung mga face value. siguro swertihan din yan, saka hindi rin naman lahat ng may 8 to 5 job yumayaman.

basta enjoy lang ang musika kahit yumaman man o hindi ang mahalaga masaya tayo. kasi pag masaya tayo sa ginagawa natin kahit ano nagiging ok.

maybe during the 1990s to mid 2000s. nowadays since dormant ang scene compared to before, di talaga kaya if u are a starting artist plus u have to deal with piracy. paano mo masabing mayaman ka na?kung may gig ka pa sa resorts world o sa abroad, u can be a provider but to be as rich as Willie Revillame, malayo!
Thru concerts/gigs dun sila bumabawi.Dun sa mga sikat na..its all about maintaining na lang for example..one event dito sa gensan 1M ang budget ng Sandwich, Brownman at Rocksteddy which is a good amount. but what is the standard of mayaman ba?bahay sa ayala alabang? duda ako...but when you come to think of it, mayaman na ang mga musikerong nagbabanda na big time to begin with..ex. wolfgang, razorback, parokya etc..private schools galing mga to. so gamit at the luxury of time to practice is an advantage. Kahit naman dito sa forum obvious db? no sour graping, just stating the obvious.

of course there are always exemptions to the rules..the lucky ones ika nga..my two cents lang..

if u truly love the music, money does not matter. unless if ur married and have kids..hehehe!

dapat talaga may tinapos ka, at least..requirement ng society yun..lalo kung ordinary people ka lang..unless napaka high profile ng mga circles mo..like mga world tours, and manila philharmonic with master conductor from berlin..etc..large ,grand gigs and shows..na regular.. and such..pero kung mga beerhouse beehouse,padis point..medyo mabagal ang usad

Hobby lang ng mayayaman ang pagbabanda dati.

Marami yumayaman sa pag babanda noon, pero ngayon sa pagiging pacute at papogi nalang(BOY BAND) ala One Direction, Justin Bieber, Jonas Brothers, Nge-nge Pedilla. etc.

With the Philippine's current economic status parang ang hirap,kahit sobrang daming music lovers sa pinas kahit gaano nila gustong bumili nang album nang kanilang paboritong local band mas naiisip nila yung regular day gastos nila. Marketing wise, the big guns prefer the quick and marketable kind of artist yung tipong novelty music na para sa lahat nang taong kulang nang saya sa buhay na pwede nilang ibala para sa Philippine market kahit walang lasting power basta may kiliti okay na para sa  instant kita,so the people who are really serious about their craft go to the "indie" route,yung may "spread the love" mentality na lang.

Some see that being a musician is a recreational activity for the rich,parang Golf lang. Its really hard to breakout and roll like the big boys if you really don't have the dough and the guts to start with. If you just go out on bars and some music lounge tapos sobrang lupit nung nasa stage you'll wonder bakit hindi tulad nila yung naririnig mo sa radyo,bakit mas gusto nang tao yung K-pop,saka yung mga revivals na halos sampung henerasyon na nang mga filipino singers ang gumawa(I don't want to bash these truly talented artist for doing such,this is just an open idea),

Hmm. Parang sa ibang bansa lang yumayaman yung mga nagba-banda e. Dito minsan kung kailan umu-usbong na ang career, dun pa nagwawatak-watak. Form of hobby lang siguro talaga dito sa atin ang pagbabanda.

which confirms the thread diba?

iba parin talaga karakas nung 70's, 80's, 90's

cassettes lang or LPs pero lumalarga mga banda,
yung information dissemination kasi dati, aasa ka lang sa local zines, radio DJs, at panonoorin ka talaga ng live.
kaya may chance na kumita ang isang band, lalo na kung maganda mag market ang manager nila.

ngayon dahil sa internet, madaling matanggal uhaw ng tao sa magaling na banda, dahil sa youtube
so instead na manood, at makabili ng merch's , babad nalang sa internet ginagawa ng iba.

sayang! daming magagaling at mas magagaling ngayon.
kung walang susuporta, sayang

true,

and one thing to remember is how one percieves "MAYAMAN".... you can see some musicians flaunting their stuff and possessions...pero all on credit at utang mga yun..pero tingin mo mayaman...
meron naman simpleng musikero sa cruise ship..nakapundar ng simple bahay at lupa sasakyat, tamang gamit at gear...pero walang negative sa finances....may savings at mga investments..

i think the word "mayaman" can be derived from the "living the life" state

kahit hindi finances ang pagusapan.

pero yun na nga, reality bites, pag kumakalam ang sikmura, how can the musicians parade that anthem?

ang sarap kayang isiping "LIVING THE LIFE" (full time musician)

sa bahay - may sariling recording studio, may gear storage with controlled atmosphere (humidifier), high end equipment/gear, tons of branded and signature gear

sa office - mag arrange ng kanta for the weekends' show

paid gigs thrice a week

product endorsements etc.

sought after musical arranger ka

then on top of that, beefed up ang bank account mo and wallet.


-----------------------

pero may mga kilala din akong full time musician na ok ok lang din naman ang way of life, i mean di naman sila maluho, sakto lang kinikita sa pagbabanda or may sobra ng konti hehe

benta gear for upgrades pero masayang masaya sila  --> LIVING THE LIFE parin yan

iniimagine ko..haha napaka clear ng description...

dagdag mo pa yung mga "local & international travels"..haha

like all professions naman..ibat ibang level ng accomplishments bawat tao...importante laging meron..as in lagi...for me, yun na yung "well off"...

I think,


sa mga young bands ngayon..karamihan #1 motivation is ----PAGSIKAT..
gawa ng kanilang youthful aspirations, at gusto magexpress ng sarili, make a mark through music...

then unti unti, magbabago na yung mindset at perception nila sa buhay nila..medyo magiging big factor na at motivation ang.... "PERA" so those na medyo dehado, (if they are smart enough to know)...gagawa na ng ibang life path at direction...

yung mga natira yung mga tunay na hardcore musikero sa isip,puso, at sa gawa....

nice! so true...

car, house with 3 bedrooms and 1 guest room with 4 bathrooms in a good neighborhood, kids go to private school, can afford out of country vacations at least twice a year ... and the ability to pay the bills despite having those.

Isang masakit na katotohanan "WALANG YUMAYAMAN SA PAG BABANDA!" 100% sure!

at bakit 100% sure ako dito?

ung mga nabanggit sa comment nung iba, kung tingin niu mayaman sila. .
oo pdeng yumaman sila pero hindi sa pag babanda kundi ung pera na kinita nila sa pag babanda na dinala nila sa negosyo.

Kahit anung sikat pa ng banda niu kahit kasing sikat ka pa ng big 4, kung source of income mo lang eh pag tugtog sigurado isa lang ang makukuha mo "FAME"

................
sa pilipinas nalang, ilan sa mga sikat na banda sa pinas (specially ung matatagal na 10yrs plus) ang literal na mayaman?

kumita marami, pero ung word na "mayaman", sorry wla ako maisip.

pero kung tatanungin kung may mayaman bang negosyante . . aba marami akong kilala.

LOOKS, X FACTOR, LOOKS... Talent what talent?

medyo mahirap sa pinas umangat ng todo todo..kasi sobrang daming musikero na magagaling at super talented..parang palaisdaan ng talent.. sa abroad, underground scene, 3 the most apat na underground bands
ang sumasalang sa isang gabi... may call time, soundcheck, may drink/food  stubs,  may cut sa drink sales or tickets mga 1500 php a night or more  for a set of your songs... (taxi/beer money) 

 sa pinas, isang production 20-30 bands sa isang gabi..libre..daming singit..at mangheheram ng gamit..late na mga banda..

pag pro, halos 10,000 pesos minimum sa mga corporate gigs per person..
