ako gusto ko maging skilled...pogi na ko e ..sabi ng nanay ko...hehehe...joke!

kung madami kang pera, magagaw mo both...hehehe

madali talagang sumikat basta may pera ka, karamihan sa mga yan pwede mong bayaran para pasikatin ka eh.

Thank God Motorhead is still successful. They're an inspiration to many that looks don't matter. Did ya see the mug on Lemmy? What the hell is that growth on his face? Now on to banging my head again with Ace of Spades.

If you are a musician or a real music lover, then looks don't matter.

Looking good doesn't hurt though. It makes you more sell-able.

If it allows you to get more people to listen to your music, then there should be no problem.

On the other hand, good looks without skills makes one more of an entertainer than a musician.

para bang tinanong ka ng diyos:

may choice ka, maging guwapo at sikat na gitarista, pero bano mga kamay mo, o kaya gitarista ka na ubod ng pangit, pero Steve Vai ang talent level mo. Ano pipiliin ko? sorry, Lord, ako na lang ang gagawa ng sariling landas ko.

Hehe, gotta agree with BassCog on that one. I'd rather have Vai-like talent than Model-type looks any day of the week. Dito lang talaga sa Pinas may sumisikat na supot na banda na puro major and minor chords lang ang alam. Walang kahit anong musical sense. Parang sinabihan lang ng managers na, "o, eto gitara, bass, drums, at mic. Ganto gamitin yan. GO!". Way too much spent on looks, appearance, image, or whatever you wanna call it, and WAAAAAAAAAAAY too little time spent on honing their skills. Music is a craft, and there's a reason why the Music Scene is separate from the Fashion Scene (or ideally should be--dito walang line of demarcation, hence the number of POSERS out there). Ika nga nung character ni Orlando Jones sa movie na Drum Line: "If you don't have the discipline to learn your craft, then frankly, you don't belong here".

Cyempre great skills dapat. Kaso, sa uri ng music industry na meron tayo, kailangan yung dalawa kung gusto mo sumikat. Sa ating musician kase, kahit di ka pogi basta magaling ka sa instrumento mo, mala tom cruise ang kapogian mo! hehe!

When it comes to playing music, i dont really if i look like crap or dont. Kaya tayo tumutugtog, para sa music eh not for looks. Too bad most of the OPM bands now go for the looks. Mas trip ko kapag talented ka.

Napansin ko rin sa mga concerts dito, ung mga vocalist puro sigawan nalang. Wala nang "kumakanta".

Anyway just a thought. Mind you guys

Looks don't have anything to do with skill. Skill doesn't necessarily equate to popularity.

ang masa, superficial, siyempre a true musician's ideal is just to have everyone enjoy their music. unfortunately, that's not the case sa atin. if you want to be well liked by the masses, mag banda ka na puro pogi kayo. again, SUPERFICIAL ang masa.

Not necessarily true. I think the proper way to say it is that you present yourself properly. There's a lot of image work to be done in conjunction with your music if you really want to make it big.

Buti pa nung era na sumikat yung mga Juan Dela Cruz Band, Asin, Freddie Aguilar, Banyuhay Ni Heber, Coritha, Florante etc...Music Skills talaga yung dahilan bakit sila sumikat, not their looks. Ngayon kahit magaling ka at maganda kanta mo, kung di ka gwapo or maganda you're going down the drain talaga. May isa pang problema, ang record company kailangan may good looks ka na tapos dapat yung kanta mo pasok sa masa. Haay...
