Eraserheads reunion concert 2008 - IS PUSHING THROUGH!!!

[AthanVai]

IMO, if i was only in it for the money, bakit pa ako magrerehearse? 

care to elaborate on that? 

Marlboro is paying them a heck of a lotta money!... they better put on a damn good show right?.... you would think they'd wanna at least jam a few times before the big show.

Well according to Raims and Marcus, the rehearsals are going on quite well:

See http://philmusic.com/main/content/view/172/7/

From Raims:

last monday the eraserheads met and rehearsed for the first time.

nobody knew what to expect. it was a little uncomfortable since we havent communicated for a long time. but im pleased to announce that the band was playing better than i ever remembered. i guess we all did our homework haha.

i wont say how many songs we finished but it was a lot. there was a lot of drums and no drama.

From Marcus:

yeah, ganun nga nangyari, parang walang nangyare. hahaha. At one point during the start of the rehearsal Ely smiled and looked at me and said "Di ba "Futuristic" ang first song?". I requested for that song to be the first song as a sort of inside inside joke pero kami lang yata dalawa nakagets hehehe. So it was scratched and replaced with a more deserving number. I have new gears na hindi ko pa napag-aaralan gamitin so everything was stripped down to a clean sounding guitar at distorted guitar. saka ko na iload yun mga jumbo jets.

Nice. Too bad di pa rin approved ID ko sa Marlboro.

I guess I have to resort to other means.

[kawal]

^tol, hindi nga nabibili yung ticket dahil pag binentahan ka ng marlboro, mayayari sila sa batas. you get to watch the concert by invitation.

i said that for the people who tell other people that the only reason they are doing it is for the money. i dont believe it's all for the money. to prove the "only-in-for-the-money" audience of this thread wrong, that (why would they rehearse... blah blah) thought popped and there you go

yeah I got all that. what i don't quite get is the thought process behind that thought "why would they rehearse if it was only for the money?"

eg. lets say i was this famous actor... i've been acting long enough that i've become kinda jaded na with the whole acting thing... i only do movies for the money (eg. both Robert de Niro and Al Pacino have been criticized for chasing checks and not caring about the art of filmmaking anymore)

so back to my point... let's say I am that type of actor nga, i am offered a ridiculous amount of money for a movie role (yey! right?) eventhough I know I am only doing the movie for money, I'd still have to rehearse and memorize my lines with my fellow actors right? 

...and no, the argument na "well this is different kasi they know their songs na inside and out, they've been playing it for years" doesn't hold too much ground i think. They still need to practice.

so that's what I'm saying... the whole "why would they bother rehearsing if they were in it for the money" theory doesn't prove a whole lot of anything.

(insert the obligatory "IMHO" here)

I don't see any of that pointing to something really. Sorry.
Anyone can invent stories from the rehearsal thing to prove other wise you know.

mmm. yeah. i get that.

yun nga. as for the actor example, their acting would still pretty much suck even if they rehearsed lines with the cast and all that.

for the 'heads situation, they can go meet up before the reunion, fix the set list and stuff, they can even skip on the whole meeting up part and let some guy organize the set. then on the night itself, play a sucky gig. they'd still get paid, tell people it's some other member's fault. tell people, nagkasakit kasi bigla yung isa kaya hindi full performance. tell people they weren't really destined to play as a group, yada yada.


but the eheads rehearsed.

ayun. elaboration lang lalo.

and the IMOs, too

I've summarized the announcements right here:


Philip Morris Comes Clean - Releases Details on Eraserheads Reunion Concert
http://philmusic.com/main/content/view/179/1/

Well it's about time. Yet another 08/08/08 announcement (right up there with the Wolfgang "Villains" teaser, the release of Rico Blanco's "Your Universe", and of course - the opening of the Beijing Olympics) was Philip Morris Philippines finally 'fessing up and admitting their participation in the Eraserheads Reunion, and releasing details about the event. It's not a "sponsorship" they claimed, they are an organizer/promoter, and the show will go on - in effect doing a run around the party poopers that wanted the tobacco company to withdraw from the gig.

[maxi_musikero]

nakakatawa...naging war on technicalities na ang event na ito.

all these publicity (can i call it negative?) caused the event to have more exposure to the public.  and with the Filipinos natural culture of pagiging "pasaway", lalong sisikat lang ang concert na to.

i-fax mo sa kanila.

[anoemous]

tumatawag pala ang marlboro pag di verified yung ID 
tinawagan nila ako kanina, invalid daw id ko, badtrip 

[akosimic]

what do you mean by unverified? what id was that?

[anoemous]

they said that they would only accept valid id's that shows your birthday (eg. birth certificate, passport, etc)
bad for me, i only have a school id and it was not validated.

[childofsaturn]

guys its true! august 30, the fort, invites-only through marlboro.ph!!!

kahit na school id with date of birth di pwede? shet dapat pala inasikaso ko na yung passport ko nung bakasyon.

[anoemous]

UP id kasi yung pinasa ko, di ko lang alam kung pwede yun.
badtrip 

[supernaut]

They are requiring valid ID kasi yung Date of Birth ang titignan nila if you are 18 years old above. I used a PRC ID, pasok!

[badongrodrigs]

im sure a driver's license would suffice

[khaffalmhoukz]

^Teka magkano na ba pekeng ID sa Recto? Desperado na talaga ako...

Opo sir alam ko naman po na marami sa mga minors ay nagpupunta ng concert para lang manggulo... And I feel cheated dahil doon... Porke't marami nga akong kaedarang epalogs sa mga concert, di ako (at iba pang E-heads fans na minors) mapapayagan... Naiintindihan ko naman yung situation, ayaw ng Philip Morris (at nyo) ng gulo pero...
