Hay naku, andami ganito sa mga battle of the bands, and sad to say, isa rin ang sa mga critics. I can't avoid kasi when these young bands play na akala mo kung parang sila na ang mga pinakamagagaling tumugtog sa buong mundo. Don't get me wrong though, i only diss those f*ckers na nagyayabang. Pero, i don't do it directly. Kung may kakilala ako sa group nila, i try to tell them nicely. For those kids naman na who has potential but needs work, i approach them myself and converse with them what needs work in their band. A couple of bands here has now greatly improved because of that. And frankly, i don't call that dissing, advising lang.
Going back to the first post, naka-experience na rin ako nito. and kung sa dami, andami talaga. I remember way back 1999, di pa uso alternative, we were playing tapos may biglang sisigaw "yung Sepultura gusto namin, alis na kayo dyan!". We did what we have to do and showed those jologs a piece of our music. Tapos pagkababa namin ng stage lalapit rin naman sila, "ang galing niyo pare! ayos!" WTF?
and there are these knuckleheads in bars who really pisses me off. Nagre-request ng mga out of this world na songs, tapos kapag hindi mo natugtog, "Ang laos naman ng bandang yan! Palitan niyo na lang!" Parang wtf? Obvious naman na hindi namin pondo yun tapos ire-request mo? Eh di sana pumunta ka na lang ng pubhouse kung san madalas matugtog mga kantang yun. Tutal hindi ka naman bagay sa environment na ganito.
Share your experiences too guys....
