It'd be better if it were for the money + enjoyment.

If you've got the talent, it would be better to be paid, since our country is barely in the state of progress and is in the 3rd world state. (nagiging pang araling panlipunan na to ah haha)

But yeah, it would be, you could show your great talents plus get the money rather than show your talents for free.

My school bands play pretty good though but waste it for the sake of enjoyment and not get paid.

Sorry, I'm more money based haha

ako talaga isasagot ko for the music... wala ko paki-alam sa pera or fame... pero at the back of our minds diba why not kung may pagkakataon? saka we idolize rockstars for example sakin paul gilbert, the beatles, led zeppelin etc... and deep in our hearts we want to be like our idols diba?

pero as an indie musician wala talaga akong pake sa money i just want our music to be heard. tapos andun na rin ung appreciation ng crowd lalo na pag gigs maririnig mo ung ovation pati nakakiki-kanta at umiislam sa tugtugan niyo. nakakataba rin ng puso ung mga comment nila sa records at music niyo hindi ba?

but when you think about it. di rin masama kung habol nung iba ay pera. kasi di naman lahat ng tumutugtog may mga dayjob or may kaya na pwede sila mag fund nung recording nila at gears etc... oo malaki na ang indie scene ngayon at marami nang ways para mapamahagi musika natin. mas madali na rin magrecord pero kelangan pa rin maglabas ng pera ng banda kahit papaano. kaya ayun... sana wag tayo manghusga ng ibang mga banda kasi mahirap ang buhay ngayon. sana lang talaga ay mag improve ang scene dito sa pinas para lahat panalo at yung mga deserving na band naman ay umangat.

saka dapat siguro may audition yang mga prod na yan <--- i know some who do... pero most of the time pag kinulang sila kahit sino na e basta makapag dala ng guests. we for one don't play gigs na may ticket selling. mas gusto namin libre o kahit may gas money or libreng chibog at inom.

maganda rin sana kung sila rin mismo maglabas ng pera pati i promote ung mga banda kasi sila rin naman kikita sa huli pag sumikat yang banda na yan e. masakit lang tlga ngayon na nangyayari madalas e yung prod kumikita samantalang yung mga banda hindi... pwera nalang kung maraming nabentang ticket... kaso musikero yang mga yan... hindi yan mga scalper o salesman.

I dont mind playing for free as long as its a free concert or for a good cause. Huwag lang yung concert na talagang negosyo lang ng mga p***ng 'nang organizer na wala ka man lang maipasok kahit na isang roadie! Walang foodtrip! Tapos parang kayo pa yung nagpupumilit na makatugtog....di bale sana kung maganda ang venue, at maayos ang gamit...Kalimitan madami ka pang dadalhing sariling gamit e. :x-Rated PG 13

For music's sake, secondary na yung money. Kung wala or kulang, ok lang at least nag enjoy ka sa pagtugtug mo.  :-D

I play for music to get the payoff: that "great heights!"  :-)
Gigs for free. Why not. I think of it as in the corporate setting--building up my portfolio, internship on pro bono.
We go beyond four corners. Where it's all about money matters.
I play for music. I play for music then money-- so I can keep playing/sharing my art/my music whenever wherever.

okay yung both kasi mahirap kaya tumugtog ng libre nowadays,sa hirap ng buhay,magiging practical ka talaga,eh yung mga foreign bands nga,most of them kung hindi "if the price is right" hindi tutugtog eh,buti pa yung mga local artist natin,marami sa mga gigs nila ay LIBRE,kasi yung iba PR gigs 4 their promotion pti raming "benefit" gigs kaya believe din ako sa mga artists natin hindi masiba sa pera.......

mga tol, ganito kase ang nasa isip ko eh.. talent nyo dapat di nyo basta ipamigay ng libre. katulad ng iba sa atin na may profession.. may talent ka sa programming.. papayag ka ba naman na may magppagawa sayo ng system ng libre? ..or may talent ka sa pag ayos ng mga PC or appliances, ppayag ka ba naman mag ayos ng mga appliances ng libre lang??

ganon din sa banda.. may talent ka sa gitara/drums/bass/vox ..papayag ka ba naman tumugtog ng libre lagi? madami sa atin ang sagot, "basta maka tugtog lang ok na kami." e pano sa skills mo bukod sa pag tugtog? di mo naman siguro pwede idahilan na "basta maka pag ayos lang ng appliances or maka pag program lang ng system ok na sakin yon!"

...kaya dumadami ang mga oppurtunistang productions dahil sa ganitong kaisipan eh. napagod ka na sa biyahe at pag perform, gumastos ka pa sa pamasahe, foods, etc.. tapos silang mga nag invite sa inyo sa gig (productions) wala man lang kahit anong ibigay sa inyo?? napaka unfair naman nun.. isipin nyo na lang to: kumikita sila sa talent nyo. pinag kaka perahan nila yung pag tugtog nyo. pero kayo hindi. may % sila sa bar owner at sa ticket na nabenta nila, kayo WALA. swerte na yung meron. pero MAJORITY ay WALANG RETURN sa atin. pinag dadala pa nila kayo ng guest which is another easier way of ticket selling. dun pa lang sobrang pang loloko na yun at pang aabuso sa atin mga musikero.

think about it.

both:

money - most of the people in the show get something out of it(employees, promoters, sponsors, etc.). whether its hard work or just slacking off during a prod.

music - aint nothing like performing in front of so many people and you're very much appreciated.
