Megadeth in Manila

[phoenix_rising]

Papi tumpak ka! Fronting the wrong show! Agree sana si jun lopito or crayon would do justice for such. Then again di nakuha kasi of the industry of music, di na kasi music industry kasi eh. Comparing is actually good, gives more curiosity to the audience.

Anyway kay guys save your moolah for tickets! Try to get gitna, it looks and sound better, if your up front and personal you're gonna get a stiff neck and the sound won't be that good.

YuP, lucky sa magiging front act. No reserve seating pa, unahan yan for sure!

No my CONJECTURES are not OFF! I do agree at your points about economics. But yes pinagtatawanan tayo ng mga foreigners. I've heard lots of comments like: I thought the Philippine bands are all mostly showbands and such. I thought we were going to hear and meet someone new when we play the Philippines again. Is that what the best you have to offer to front us?

To tell you frankly, I don't have to answer, where did you hear all these??? Where did you find these comments? They're everywhere, the net, facebook. I get to talk to a lot of foreigners bands lately, asking them what do you think of the Philippines, how was your stay, how was your concert. I don't need to post who's who, i don't need to prove of my credibility. I don't speculate on such and such. I observe and listen. 

When Chidren of Bodom was here, They were very impressed with Eternal Now. That was a prefect fronting band. Everyone was happy and the respect was there, no labelling of a joke. Just respect of it's a good that there is such excellent musicians like EN and they exist and there is a scene. I am so proud and happy for that.

Papi Dogj, i do value and appreciate your opinions against mine, but i have agree and disagree on you on some aspects. This is a good discussion. It just shows that there are a few people who cares for our pinoy bands. I read somewhere, don't remember if it is here or on facebook, that he doesn't care for the front act because it is Megadeth. With comments like that...it's just shows our filipino culture out of the window. In all honesty nakakahiya yung statement na yan. Yes, it's our dream to see our favorite foreign bands in the flesh, but in point, we have to make an impression on the first timers in our country, i bet this would be a first impression on Megadeth, a fronting band na mag tambling tambling sa harap magsasayaw at maghuhubad. Match na match yun. I'm just saying lang. I know you understand where i'm coming from.

Healthy discussion here people. just a discussion. Start saving your moolahs!!!

Good point. I agree on both sides. Let's not forget that everything is just part of a business. When a foreign bands tour, they are not just promoting their songs and showcasing their talents but they(lalo na ang bands/artists manager) are also expanding their incomes as well. They want to generate a bigger profit out of it and for them, our country is not that good for a place of business. A lot of factors to consider to generate a bigger profit and one of it is the Spending/ Buying power of the people in our country is not that strong.(sama na rn cguro natin ung mga mga unreasonable taxes that our great government imposed gaya ng travel tax and etc.) Let's also take into consideration that our country have a poor security system. A lot of foreign people cancel their travel in our country due to some security reasons. What more to the perception of a high profile bands/ artists? On the other hand, hindi nman cguro pinagtatawanan ng foreigners. For me, I think the appropriate term would be, ang babaw ng tingin ng mga foreigners sa atin. Not just musically but also in some other aspects. One time, I talked to a guitarist who played in a band sa cruise ship. 3 months lang sya and na kicked out sya sa banda. Siya lng ung Filipino sa banda. He told me that the reason why he got kicked out of the band was because he had a hard time reading notes. Sobrang strict daw kasi nung mentor when it comes to music. Mabait nman daw pag sa labas ng musica. He even said to me on how he got scolded by the foreign mentor. We are not playing music here the Philippines style. He admits nman na may pagkukulang tlga sya. He kept on relying on his ears and have a hard time playing the piece note for note. For me, I think we should not take the reactions of foreigners as a negative na kaagad. There's always a reason behind their reactions. If they don't appreciate or respect us on what we do, that's because they think that we still need to improve and that they are still better than us.

Master Dodj ikaw pala yan...

Anyways, we had the same discussion in METALHEADS UNITE! in FB, regarding on who's who will serve as Fronting Band for Megadeth. I can say that both talent + economy will be the deciding factors, and I personally think the fronting band should be at least of the same genre or close to Thrash perhaps. I don't want to see an "Aiza fronting for John Mayer" kinda thing on July 29, hopefully not.

Just to add narin, as a member of Cyberarmy Forum of Megadeth, all four Megadeth members told everyone that they don't drink or charge up with booze, straight edge guys so to speak. Hence, I am pretty sure they'll take a minute or two of their time to listen to the fronting band. You don't also want to see "Satanic-inspired" bands to front for them, nobody wants to mess up with the Modern-day Dave Mustaine and Junior (being devoted Christians and stuff). Not that I don't like Black, or Blackened Death Metal, but for sure everyone knows that Mustaine's stance is on such issue.

Anyways, I got my ticket ready, can't wait. 53 days to go!

Thank you very much PULP Live World for making this happen!

For me, iba kasi yung 'pinagtatawanan ng foreign bands' sa 'di pinapansin ng foreign bands'.  In most cases, it is the latter.   They would spend most of their time in the dressing room with booze while the support act is playing. Yung natatawa sa front act ay yung audience mismo.  Like Aiza fronting for John Mayer.  She does a pretty good job, but she was fronting for the wrong show.  On the contrary, would it be nice if Jun Lopito or Mr. Crayon did the front act?  Mako-compare at mako-compare sila kay JM.

Anyways, with front act  or no front act, I assume the audience will rush in once the gates open.  (No reserved seating kasi.) Ang swerte naman ng front act nitong Megadeth... for sure maraming manonood ng set nila.

hmmmm...yung LOG and Black Dahlia no reserve seating din. Yes nagrush ang tao pagpasok kaso hinuli naman yung front act na pinoy. So nung tumugtog na, konti nalang tao at pinatayan pa sila monitors.

[krizanto86]

End Of Man sana no tol.

Mismo to \m/

[inot1105]

still no tourdate update from their Killing Road...

But since SM tickets are already being sold.
I'm sure this event is truly legit.

My dilemma is, I can only watch 'em on Aug5.

Kwentuhan na lang to compare what set list they'll have.

BR & God bless

Uy Zai ikaw ba yan? 

Anyway, even Megadeth is not thrash nor speed metal anymore.   But yeah, fronting acts should at least share the same vibe... not necessarily the same genre.  For example, Up Dharma Down fronted for Incubus' 2nd concert here.  Layo ng genre, but for me they kind of set the mood for me.  Mike Einziger is one hell of an fx user, and so was Los of UDD.  Call it a 'boring' set but Up Dharma Down performed pretty well despite the onstage sabotage.

Yes sir, hehehe!

But I think Endgame and Th1rt3en are thrash records combined with modern science.   

I personally would love to see either one or two of the following:
1. Dreaded Mortuary
2. Paganfire
3. End of Man

[MEGADENZ]

Ano ba naman yan pati front-act pinagtatalunan pa; wala na lang front-act yun ang the best, nuff said ...

[charmonium]

sana majority ng set list nila kagaya nung sa rude awakening.

End of Man is pretty much hot topic in the local neo-thrash scene.  But Dreaded Mortuary seems to have new-found appeal because of the lady bassplayer/vocalist.  Parang Slayer na babae ang kumakanta.

Ano po ba ang gay metal, aside from yung reference ni Dave Mustaine sa GLAM na "Gay L.A. Metal"?
