Yeah, I was a young dad. So that time, my focus is to be a dad.
00:26.5
For some reason, tingin ko, iniiwasan mo yung target?
00:29.5
Hindi naman. Well, kasi sa Filipino community, medyo...
00:37.0
Hindi ka Glenn Jacinto or wala kang record sa Pilipinas dati or something.
00:41.0
You're just regular, I guess.

Ladies and gentlemen, an honor, a privilege to have on the podcast, Mr. Jet Lopez.
02:42.5
Eto, sinasabi. Kanina off-cam, kinikwento ko kay Cedric.
02:46.5
I'm a fan of you and your work and what you do sa scene.
02:54.5
And feeling ko hindi ka nabibigyan ng enough credit for what you do.
03:00.5
And you've been doing this for, feeling ko nga, mayigit 20 years na eh.
03:04.5
Yeah, you're right. Yeah, kasi 2002 when I started my first band here.
03:10.5
And sinusubaybayan ko yun dahil halos magkasabay tayo.
03:13.5
May iba akong banda noong time na yun. Nagkikita tayo, nag-enjoy tayo, diba?
03:17.5
Tapos biglang nakikita ko you're playing for major artists na galing sa Pinas.
03:22.5
Tumutugtog ka with local musicians. Pag sinabi ko local musicians, yung mga ibang lahi na taga rito talaga.
03:29.5
Tapos nagkaroon tayo ng kalia hits dito sa LA. Tumutugtog ka roon.
03:36.5
And nag-uusap kami ni Michael Abad ni J.J. kasi noong first season ng Paco's Place,
03:42.5
sinama ka na namin talaga sa people na gusto namin kausapin.
03:47.5
Because the podcast is meant to amplify and highlight tayo, kayo, yung mga local artists na nandito.
03:57.5
Meron kang angas when it comes to music. I love the way you perform on stage.
04:03.5
And at the same time, yung humility mo offstage.
04:09.5
Bakit hindi talaga sumabog ang Jet Lopez sa community natin?
04:15.5
Oh, that's a tough question. I'm not focused on building my name or anything.
04:21.5
I'm more focused on playing what I love to do and what I do best.
04:27.5
And I try to do best every day.
04:31.5
When I started playing, I felt something with the music, diba?
04:35.5
So that's what I want to share with the world.
04:38.5
To play music, to entertain, and maybe they feel something from what I contribute to the band.
04:47.5
Gusto kong ma-reach out yung mga taong nakikinig.
04:53.5
They all come to one place to listen to the band and they want to feel something from the music.
05:00.5
They want to experience something.
05:02.5
Pero Jet, ang laas nandating mo. Pag tumutugtog ka, mapapatingin ka talaga sayo.
05:07.5
Kasi may image ka. Mukha ka rockstar.
05:11.5
Maayos ka naman tumugtog.
05:12.5
And then, nandito si Zach, who is not Filipino, spoke highly of you.
05:19.5
Loves the way you play.
05:21.5
Sabi ko, ito ibang lahi. Pinupuri ka na ganoon.
05:25.5
Yeah, Zach is a really nice guy.
05:28.5
When you started in 2002, what was the goal?
05:33.5
Well, that time, nakilala ko yung first bandmate ko, which is sa Guitar Center.
05:41.5
And they play disco stuff.
05:45.5
Pinoy. Ito, Pinoy.
05:47.5
Sabi ko, yeah. I mean, it's not my type of music because I was in rock and roll.
05:52.5
Pero sabi ko, it's better to have something.
05:54.5
Maganda yun. It's better to have something.
05:57.5
Yeah. I was only like 20 years old that time or 19 or something.
06:01.5
Pero yun, it was fun.
06:03.5
Tsaka, it's nice to...
06:05.5
Ano ito? Cover band?
06:09.5
Saan kayo tumutugtog noon?
06:13.5
Kasi meron kaming manager and everything. Lahat.
06:15.5
Well, nagsimula ako when I was 8 years old.
06:17.5
Di ko po iniisip yung sumikat.
06:20.5
And I never... I'm never focused dun sa mga pagsikat.
06:24.5
Kasi, you know, it's not about that.
06:26.5
Music is something else. It's like something that you feel and you share to other people.
06:30.5
Okay. I expound on that.
06:32.5
Because sinasabi mo ngayon, and I want people to hear this,
06:34.5
hindi mo iniisip na sumikat?
06:36.5
No. That's never really my priority.
06:40.5
Well, it's nice to, you know...
06:43.5
I like the way that people appreciate your music and what you do.
06:47.5
Pero, pero, puti na sinabi mo yun.
06:49.5
Ayaw, hindi mo iniisip na sumikat,
06:51.5
pero hindi ikaw yung gitaristang nakatayo lang sa isang puesto.
06:56.5
Because you're the type of guitar player who walks around the stage.
07:01.5
Sineset up ko lang, ha?
07:02.5
Para at least kayong mga nanonood at nakikinig,
07:04.5
ma-research niyo yung mga ginagawa ni Jet Lopez.
07:09.5
Eight years old, nag-gitara ka dahil parents mo...
07:13.5
Are they musicians?
07:14.5
My dad plays the guitar and the piano, and he sings.
07:18.5
And he taught my first Beatles song.
07:22.5
And sa school, may mga classmates ako nag-gigitara din.
07:29.5
Kapit-bahay ko, barakada ko, tinuruan ako.
07:33.5
Pilipinas yun, yeah.
07:34.5
So tapos, what was the first band na sinalihan mo sa Pilipinas?
07:37.5
I was, I think, 11 or 12.
07:40.5
May banda kami, pangalan ng band namin is Mental Damage.
07:45.5
Tapos yun, ano kami? Like, punk rock.
07:48.5
Ganon, medyo punk rock.
07:50.5
Mga underground na punk rock songs.
07:53.5
And then, sa school, nagkaroon din ako ng band sa school.
07:57.5
Gained experience from them, from my bandmates.
08:01.5
Grade school pa lang ako.
08:03.5
Yeah, actually, dun sa...
08:05.5
Kasi you're from LaSalle too, right?
08:06.5
Tumugtog kami dun noon sa fair when I was 6th grade.
08:11.5
Ayun, may bandmates na mga taga, mga grade 7 din.
08:18.5
Actually, nag-galit pa nga yung principal kasi metallic ang tinugtog namin.
08:23.5
Ay, kala nila Beatles. Sabi nila, Beatles, tutugtogin nyo.
08:27.5
Oo, and then I said, yeah, yeah, yes, ma'am, yes, miss.
08:32.5
Tapos pagdating doon, metalika pa rin yung tinugtog namin.
08:36.5
So, nag-galit yung...
08:38.5
Yung ano? Yung teacher?
08:42.5
Pagkatapos noon, grade 6, tumugtog ka na ng metalika,
08:45.5
kailan mo na-realize na ito na, mukhang itong gusto?
08:47.5
Yung ba't talaga ang gusto mong gawin?
08:49.5
Well, that time, I was just learning.
08:51.5
Sabi ko, yeah, I wanna learn guitar.
08:53.5
So, nag-guitara ako noon every day.
08:56.5
Not every day, every day, pero binilan ako ng dad ko ng acoustic guitar.
09:01.5
So, yun, I would bring it to school.
09:03.5
And, yeah, I felt like, oh, wow, this is really nice.
09:07.5
You get, you know, playing music, you sing.
09:10.5
Kasi yung bata ka, syempre, kumakanta pa ako noon.
09:13.5
So, kung kailan ko na-realize yun, siguro nandito na ako noon.
09:18.5
Kasi that time, medyo huminto rin ako dahil I was in school,
09:21.5
and may girlfriend ako noon.
09:23.5
Nagpunta ako dito because, you know, something, by accident kasi.
09:29.5
May nabuntis ako, girlfriend ko nabuntis that time.
09:33.5
Yeah, I was about 16 years old.
09:36.5
Hindi, tumakbo sila dito.
09:43.5
Buti na naman, my dad supported me to come.
09:46.5
So, young dad ka?
09:48.5
Yeah, I was a young dad.
09:49.5
So, that time, my focus is to be a dad.
09:56.5
Tingnan mo, ang galing.
09:57.5
He was 17 years old.
09:58.5
Not everybody talks about this.
09:59.5
Dito pa rin ba yung anak mo?
10:01.5
Yeah, actually, he just graduated suma cum laude on aerospace engineering.
10:07.5
And he now works at Elon Musk SpaceX.
10:11.5
Kaya, talagang, I'm very proud of him.
10:18.5
Siyempre, magaling din yung mami.
10:21.5
How does it change your perspective of life?
10:25.5
Anong compromise ang ginawa mo to help out?
10:29.5
To help out with...
10:30.5
Your responsibility.
10:33.5
So, that time, I was trying to be a dad.
10:35.5
Wala pa akong namimit na bandmates dito.
10:38.5
I was not even touching a guitar that time.
10:41.5
So, focus lang talaga on being a dad?
10:42.5
Yeah, and then I worked two jobs.
10:44.5
And then, naghiwalay din kami ng mami niya.
10:47.5
After two, three years, I think.
10:50.5
Medyo may kulang din ako sa mga child support and stuff.
10:54.5
Kasi, I was young.
10:56.5
So, at that time, siyempre, wala ka pang pakailang.
11:00.5
Happy-go-lucky lang.
11:02.5
Pero, you know, I'm glad na napalaki ng mami niya.
11:06.5
Yung anak ko na. He graduated.
11:08.5
You still have other kids?
11:16.5
I think, meron akong isang girl
11:19.5
na maybe 16 years old.
11:22.5
I'm not sure kung...
11:23.5
I'm not really confirmed.
11:25.5
So, ilan ang alam mong anak mo?
11:27.5
Mga dalawa siguro.
11:29.5
So now, yung rock and roll lifestyle,
11:32.5
you were living that.
11:33.5
Kaya, si Debasya, happy-go-lucky, right?
11:35.5
Rock and roll lifestyle.
11:36.5
Did it change for you?
11:39.5
Sandali lang, hindi ako bumabata.
11:42.5
And kaya, this is a very sensitive topic.
11:45.5
Pinag-uusapan natin dito
11:46.5
because there are people watching.
11:47.5
There are people who want to hear your perspective.
11:50.5
Not really our story per se,
11:52.5
but our perspective on stuff.
11:54.5
Dahil parehong may pinagdaanan tayo sa buhay.
11:57.5
Pero, mas serene ka ngayon.
11:59.5
Mas subdued ka ngayon kesa noon.
12:01.5
Pero, you know, of course,
12:03.5
there's gonna be roadblocks down the road.
12:06.5
But you just have to do your best.
12:08.5
So, yung sinasayang mong best,
12:10.5
rock and roll ka pa rin.
12:11.5
I mean, maiinom ka pa rin.
12:13.5
Well, hindi naman ako umiinom.
12:15.5
I just smoke weed.
12:18.5
Yeah, I do drink, but moderately.
12:21.5
And only red wine.
12:25.5
Sa tugtugan, is it better to play intoxicated
12:28.5
or full ang perception mo?
12:32.5
Huwag natin i-consider ang weed.
12:34.5
Kasi ang weed, ginagamit naman ang ibang artist.
12:37.5
Yeah, weed is natural to me.
12:40.5
I just like everyday weed.
12:41.5
Pero, of course, it's better to play
12:47.5
For drummers and bass players, maybe,
12:49.5
mas maganda hindi nakainom.
12:52.5
Kasi they could skip time.
12:54.5
Pero for guitar players,
12:56.5
kung alam naman niya talaga yung ginagawa niya,
12:58.5
I mean, konti lang is okay.
13:00.5
Sometimes, I take a shot of red wine.
13:04.5
ininom lang ang konti bago tumugtog.
13:07.5
Para medyo guminhawa yung puso.
13:11.5
So, pagbalik tayo sa tugtog.
13:13.5
naghiwalay kayo ng mami ng anak mo.
13:17.5
Yung ba nakasira ng relationship mo?
13:21.5
Pero nanalo yung music sa relationship.
13:23.5
Nanalo yung music sa relationship.
13:27.5
Well, after nung nag-break kasi kami
13:29.5
ng nani ng anak ko,
13:31.5
medyo nawalan na ako ng gana.
13:33.5
I'm like, shit, rock and roll na lang.
13:36.5
And I met my bandmates.
13:39.5
It feels good to be back in music
13:41.5
because I used to play with you when I was young.
13:45.5
hanggang sa na-meet ko na lahat,
13:50.5
na-meet ko yung another bandmate,
13:52.5
na si singer namin,
13:55.5
si Lali, and then...
13:59.5
And then, siya yung isa...
14:02.5
Shout-out nga pala.
14:04.5
Kasi yung drummer,
14:05.5
yung asawa niya that time
14:07.5
is drummer namin din sa first band ko.
14:09.5
Tapos si Lali naman,
14:10.5
yung may banda siya,
14:11.5
sinama niya ako sa band niya.
14:18.5
tumutugtog sa magnitude.
14:21.5
one of my first bandmates.
14:23.5
And tapos si Emil Pama din,
14:24.5
naging bandmates din kami.
14:26.5
na nag-guest na rin sa Paco's Place.
14:28.5
At nanalo ng awit.
14:29.5
Nanalo siya ng awit awards.
14:33.5
Congratulations, Emil.
14:35.5
Yeah, Emil is one of my first bandmates.
14:37.5
Meron kaming acoustic band noon.
14:39.5
Tapos live band din with Lali.
14:43.5
na-meet ko na silang kayong lahat.
14:46.5
nung katrabaho mo si Lali,
14:50.5
and Lali is very, very good
14:52.5
in connecting with people.
14:54.5
Anong napulot mo playing with Lali?
15:00.5
Showman ka na ba nun?
15:03.5
ang na-impress ako sa'yo,
15:04.5
not only do you play guitars,
15:05.5
pero you really play the part
15:10.5
So, nung nakilali ka,
15:11.5
were you the type of guitar player
15:14.5
o gumagalaw-galaw ka na
15:15.5
noong mga panahon na yun?
15:16.5
I was developing that time,
15:18.5
yung paggalaw-galaw.
15:21.5
I was the youngest in the band.
15:23.5
And then, Lali always,
15:24.5
Oh, oh, wala sa tono.
15:26.5
Oh, ano, minor yan, minor.
15:28.5
So, nasanay ako sa ganon.
15:30.5
So, I tried to make it better
15:34.5
marami ako natutunan kay Lali.
15:37.5
she's a performer.
15:38.5
She's a rock and roll performer.
15:40.5
I hope people understand this.
15:42.5
tayo mga Pilipino,
15:43.5
kasi we're very critical.
15:45.5
Gumalaw ka lang ng kuwanti sa stage,
15:46.5
ang tingin nila sa'yo,
15:50.5
dapat gumagalaw ka talaga sa stage.
15:52.5
but it has to be natural.
15:54.5
ayoko rin pilitin na mag-acting.
15:56.5
Pero, explain mo sa'kin yung ano.
15:58.5
Let's talk about that.
15:59.5
Let's have a discourse
16:00.5
with regard to yan.
16:01.5
It has to be natural.
16:02.5
E, paano kung natural
16:03.5
na hindi ka gumagalaw?
16:04.5
Meron din ganun minsan.
16:05.5
Depende rin sa mood.
16:08.5
kung nakumain ka ba nang maayos,
16:11.5
nakatulog ka ba nang maayos.
16:13.5
So, ibig sabihin,
16:14.5
kailangan responsibility mo
16:16.5
kumain nang maayos
16:17.5
at matulog nang maayos
16:19.5
Before a show, yeah.
16:22.5
you have to have good sleep
16:25.5
Kasi, as a live performer,
16:26.5
like, mayintindihan ko.
16:27.5
Like, dito, let's say,
16:28.5
nasa Paco's Place tayo,
16:29.5
nagre-recording tayo.
16:30.5
Hindi kita i-expect that
16:31.5
magtatatalon-talon ka dyan
16:32.5
to play guitar parts, right?
16:34.5
Pero when you're up on stage,
16:37.5
the natural thing is
16:40.5
it's like the band
16:44.5
everything's connected.
16:46.5
Doon ka may exciting.
16:50.5
oh, tight, tight.
16:52.5
Magkakanong ka ng confidence
16:56.5
pag magaling yung bahista mo
16:57.5
o yung drummer mo magaling.
16:58.5
Magkakanong ka ng confidence
17:00.5
and then you can move,
17:01.5
you'll move naturally.
17:06.5
Neto rin mo yung sinasabi mo.
17:07.5
Kasi, totoo yun eh.
17:08.5
Pag alam mong medyo
17:10.5
tabigi yung drummer mo,
17:14.5
nagtatago ko nang sabihin.
17:18.5
Para ayawin ipakita yung sarili mo eh,
17:20.5
Oh, nahintindihan ko yun.
17:21.5
Pero in your case?
17:22.5
And there's a lot of,
17:24.5
I played with a lot of people.
17:26.5
Syempre, hindi naman everyone,
17:27.5
nothing is perfect, diba?
17:29.5
So, just go with the flow.
17:31.5
Okay, go with the flow.
17:32.5
But how do you deal with people,
17:33.5
let's say, tabigi yung bahista mo,
17:34.5
tabigi yung singer mo?
17:36.5
You know, sa practice
17:37.5
or after the gig,
17:38.5
syempre sasabihin.
17:39.5
Like, okay, yeah,
17:40.5
we have to fix this,
17:42.5
Or do a rehearsal.
17:48.5
pag magdating sa mga ganyan?
17:51.5
Or derecho ka magsalita
17:52.5
na wala ka sa tono?
17:55.5
It all depends kung sino kausap ko.
17:58.5
pinapakiramdaman ko,
17:59.5
syempre, yung kabanda.
18:00.5
You don't want to
18:01.5
upset him or something.
18:03.5
Pero minsan, they know.
18:04.5
Pag sinabi ko naman,
18:05.5
hindi kilalan nila ako
18:07.5
Hey, that should be a G.
18:09.5
It's not a E-flat.
18:11.5
Yeah, I know it's a G over E-flat,
18:13.5
but it has to be a G.
18:16.5
So, you put your foot down
18:18.5
also pag kailangan?
18:19.5
Yeah, pag kailangan.
18:20.5
Kasi, we're gonna play that again.
18:21.5
It's gonna be the same thing.
18:24.5
Or kailangan i-address
18:25.5
pag sa practice or something.
18:29.5
dito na tumutugtog.
18:30.5
Maliban kay Lali,
18:31.5
kanino ka pa tumutugtog?
18:33.5
I have played almost
18:38.5
So, playing with everybody,
18:42.5
after so many years,
18:44.5
hindi ko pa nararamdaman na
18:47.5
eto si Jet Lopez,
18:49.5
eto yung ginagawa niya.
18:50.5
Mas comfortable ka ba
18:52.5
being a sideman to a star?
18:56.5
Hindi naman ibig sabihin.
18:58.5
Ikaw, kilala kita eh.
18:59.5
Kahit sa kita makita,
19:00.5
pag binanggit ka nila sa akin.
19:02.5
Mas excited nga ako
19:03.5
kaya kami ni J.J.,
19:04.5
dapat si Jet Lopez
19:05.5
nandito sa podcast.
19:06.5
Because, ito yung mga tanong
19:07.5
na gusto ko tanongin eh.
19:08.5
Maayos yung brand mo?
19:10.5
You look the part?
19:12.5
You dress the part?
19:15.5
Actually, before,
19:16.5
nag-headline na ako.
19:17.5
It was a success.
19:18.5
We only did it once,
19:21.5
This is back in 2007 pa yata,
19:24.5
It doesn't make sense.
19:25.5
If it was a success in 2007-2006,
19:28.5
why aren't you doing it now?
19:30.5
Kasi, busy rin ako
19:31.5
with all the bands
19:32.5
that I play with,
19:33.5
and gusto ko nga ulitin yun.
19:36.5
But, most of all,
19:39.5
I like to be a team player,
19:44.5
kung bago sa basketball player,
19:46.5
Hindi ka si Kobe?
19:48.5
Hindi ako si Kobe.
19:49.5
Parang si Jordan,
19:50.5
or hindi naman gano'n.
19:51.5
Kasi yun yung bide, di ba?
19:56.5
bide silang lahat, right?
19:59.5
Okay, ulitin natin ha.
20:01.5
nababacks out na kita ngayon.
20:06.5
Ako mismo kilala kita personally,
20:08.5
and alam ko yung pangalan mo.
20:10.5
And, nung one time nga,
20:11.5
binubuo namin yung Morissette na show.
20:15.5
isasama ka pa namin do'n.
20:16.5
Pinag-uusapan ka pa namin talaga
20:18.5
ng mga time na yun.
20:21.5
kung si Jet Lopez,
20:22.5
bakit hindi siya ang nag-headline ngayon?
20:25.5
ang dami na may mga Noipits tayo,
20:26.5
may mga Kusina Filipina,
20:28.5
may mga Bambu Bistro.
20:29.5
Makikita kita as a sideman to somebody else.
20:32.5
And here you are telling me,
20:35.5
you were successful being Jet Lopez.
20:38.5
Yun ang thesis natin, ha?
20:42.5
Hindi ka pwedeng ikaw naman maging Jordan,
20:45.5
na ikaw ang nakasentro,
20:47.5
embes na ikaw ang sideman?
20:49.5
Ah, ah, ah, centro?
20:50.5
Well, this is how I look at it.
20:51.5
Kung gusto sa basketball,
20:53.5
I think the center...
20:54.5
The center, like focal point.
20:56.5
Focal point, oh, okay.
20:57.5
Kasi meron kang karyesma to be the focal point.
21:01.5
But for some reason,
21:03.5
iniiwasan mo yung target?
21:06.5
Well, kasi sa Filipino community,
21:10.5
medyo kung hindi ka Glenn Jacinto
21:13.5
or wala kang record sa Pilipinas dati or something,
21:16.5
you're just regular, I guess.
21:20.5
That's your perception, right?
21:22.5
Pero I don't see it like that.
21:26.5
I'm not really focusing on putting my name
21:30.5
the rock star or whatever.
21:34.5
I'm always busy helping other bands.
21:36.5
Kung may kailangan ng kitarista.
21:38.5
I'm not the only guitar player that's out there.
21:41.5
Marami rin mga magagaling diyan.
21:43.5
Of course, they also play with
21:45.5
great Filipino artists.
21:47.5
Pero I'm so busy with maraming band.
21:50.5
Hey Jet, pwede ka ba this Saturday?
21:53.5
Like puno na parating weekends ko.
21:58.5
I guess yun yung contribution ko.
22:00.5
I help anyone that,
22:02.5
kung kailangan nyo ako,
22:04.5
I'll play any song you want or whatever.
22:07.5
Okay, that being said,
22:08.5
ngayon naiintindihan ko na eh.
22:13.5
tinawag ka for a session work.
22:14.5
Hindi mo ka-banda to.
22:15.5
It's a session work.
22:16.5
It's a session work, right?
22:17.5
Live kayo tutugtog.
22:19.5
How do you prepare for something like that?
22:24.5
anong makakatutugtogin nyo?
22:27.5
it's usually gonna be cover songs.
22:30.5
And most likely, alam ko na yun.
22:32.5
So, yun lang preparation ko.
22:35.5
Sometimes we don't even need to rehearse kasi.
22:38.5
Natugtog mo na yun?
22:40.5
O ng other band members din,
22:42.5
natugtog na rin na yun.
22:43.5
Day job? May day job ka?
22:44.5
No, I just do business.
22:47.5
Ano yung business mo?
22:48.5
Ano lang, monkey business lang.
22:52.5
I used to buy and sell cars.
22:57.5
I have my own schedule.
23:00.5
So, yung pagiging entrepreneur mo,
23:02.5
kaya lang mo naisip na,
23:04.5
hindi na ako magtatrabaho for someone else.
23:06.5
Magsisimula ako ng sarili kong business.
23:07.5
Kaya lang nangyari to?
23:09.5
when I was like 20 or 21,
23:13.5
I had a dealership.
23:14.5
You had a dealership?
23:17.5
Like two to three years after I got here,
23:18.5
syempre, yung unang job ko,
23:20.5
I was working at Pizza Hut,
23:22.5
and I was working at Yoshinoya or something.
23:28.5
I tried buying and selling cars.
23:30.5
Kasi medyo may alam ako ng konti dun.
23:32.5
And then I met this,
23:33.5
I met a guy na nag-partner kami.
23:36.5
He opened up a dealership under my name.
23:40.5
It's like three blocks away kung saan ako nakatira,
23:42.5
which is sa pinsan ko.
23:44.5
Sino yung market, mga Meksikano?
23:46.5
Ito yung Meksikano,
23:49.5
Yung mga tier 2 na dealership.
23:51.5
Used car dealership.
23:52.5
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:57.5
I never been employed after that.
23:59.5
So hanggang ngayon, buhay pa rin yung dealership na yan?
24:03.5
I just do the least amount of work.
24:08.5
Meron kang business,
24:11.5
na pagsasabay mo lahat,
24:13.5
ano bang hindi mo ginagawa?
24:15.5
Ayan, ang kulang sakin?
24:18.5
Siguro girlfriend kulang ko.
24:21.5
Oo, kasi parati ka nasa stage,
24:23.5
hindi mo ma-entertain yung babae.
24:25.5
I mean, kung meron kang gusto.
24:27.5
pag parati kang tumutugtog,
24:29.5
it's like wala kang time.
24:31.5
Pero I have time.
24:32.5
Siguro yung babae lang wala time sakin.
24:37.5
So mahirap din maghanap ka,
24:38.5
kasi mostly they are taken.
24:42.5
Yung mga gusto ko naman,
24:43.5
siguro hindi ako type or something.
24:45.5
Dalawang beses ko na naiinig yung siguro sa'yo.
24:49.5
Ang unang siguro is,
24:54.5
hindi ka half-baked tumugtog.
24:56.5
Yan at naiisip mo,
24:57.5
kung hindi ka Glen Asinto
24:58.5
at wala kang record label,
25:00.5
normal ka lang na Pinoy dito sa scene.
25:04.5
Yan ang siguro mong una.
25:06.5
And then ang pangalawang siguro mo is,
25:08.5
siguro hindi ka type ng babaeng type mo.
25:10.5
Itong mga limiting belief mo na sinasabi mo,
25:13.5
it's so ironic na kaya magtayo ng negosyo
25:16.5
without any limiting belief.
25:19.5
ang laki ng limiting belief mo
25:21.5
when it comes to music.
25:23.5
andami mong tugtog.
25:28.5
Thank God and universe.
25:33.5
Nagha-handle yun?
25:36.5
pagdating sa music and the other bands,
25:39.5
they'll give me 30 songs, right?
25:43.5
hindi lahat ng tao.
25:44.5
30 songs, kaya lang bibigay.
25:47.5
Or like a week before.
25:52.5
or at least ganon.
25:55.5
mabilis lang ako mag-sifra.
25:57.5
I learned to play by ear.
26:02.5
sa sobrang dami ng covers
26:05.5
you just listen to the song,
26:06.5
alam mo na yung chords.
26:08.5
Yeah, or something.
26:10.5
So, pagkatapos ng gig,
26:11.5
do you get attached to the band?
26:13.5
O pagkatapos ng gig,
26:14.5
bahala na kayo sa buhay niya?
26:15.5
Halis na ako, ha?
26:16.5
As much as possible,
26:19.5
be attached with the band.
26:20.5
Minsan kakain kami after.
26:22.5
Pero after ng pandemic,
26:25.5
uwiin na ka hagad.
26:29.5
hindi mo na iniisip yun?
26:33.5
Kung sa mga banda kong mga puti,
26:36.5
they always ask me to record.
26:38.5
medyo ina-edit nila eh.
26:40.5
hindi talaga yun yung licks ko,
26:41.5
parang kinut-emphase na lang nila
26:46.5
Kung ganyan lang gusto niya,
26:50.5
it's better if it's not edited.
26:52.5
ang genuine soul eh,
26:53.5
you're cutting it.
26:55.5
Sarili mong gawa?
26:57.5
meron akong mga compositions
26:58.5
na dun sa recorder ko.
26:59.5
I never bothered to finish it.
27:03.5
successful since 2001.
27:06.5
May mga kanta ka,
27:08.5
nasa recorder mo,
27:09.5
you never bothered to finish it.
27:12.5
ang pinili mong persona
27:13.5
is that of a musician
27:15.5
because you like being a musician
27:16.5
since you were eight.
27:19.5
yung mga pwede mong ituloy,
27:21.5
and the reason why I want to talk about it
27:23.5
is because hindi lang ikaw
27:24.5
ang nag-iisang ganyan eh.
27:25.5
Maraming ganyan eh,
27:27.5
What's holding you back
27:29.5
from releasing the songs?
27:34.5
even if you release the song,
27:39.5
Pakatloy siguro na ha?
27:44.5
I've been always been planning
27:45.5
to finish that song.
27:47.5
At least gusto ko rin,
27:48.5
kailangan may original.
27:52.5
if you do cover and stuff,
27:54.5
hanggang gano'n na lang tingin sa'yo.
28:01.5
di ba talaga pag mayroong,
28:04.5
anybody can compose a song.
28:06.5
With just one chord and stuff,
28:07.5
you can compose a song.
28:10.5
the spirit of the song
28:11.5
and the soul of it,
28:12.5
yun ang medyo mahirap i-capture.
28:18.5
tapusin yung kata?
28:20.5
tamad lang ako tapusin,
28:21.5
and another thing is,
28:22.5
I'm always busy with
28:23.5
other people's stuff.
28:24.5
Kailangan mo gagawin
28:25.5
yung Jet Lopez stuff?
28:29.5
yung kabanda kong isa,
28:32.5
Jet, kailan mo ulitin yung
28:37.5
O so, kailan nga?
28:42.5
while we're young, right?
28:47.5
Kasi kung hindi nga,
28:52.5
I would like to do that
28:54.5
the first one was a success.
28:58.5
bibigyan ka ng opportunity,
29:00.5
dahil may business ka naman,
29:02.5
bibigyan ka ng opportunity
29:06.5
guitar player nila.
29:11.5
Pero wala silang album,
29:13.5
pero gumagawa silang
29:15.5
and gagawin ka na lang
29:17.5
Is this something
29:18.5
that you will say yes to,
29:20.5
hindi mo papansin eh?
29:23.5
hypothetical lang to,
29:24.5
pero isang banda lang talaga to,
29:27.5
full attention mo.
29:28.5
If I like the music
29:35.5
ang pinag-uusapan.
29:38.5
pasok na kagad sa akin yun.
29:41.5
interaction ng banda,
29:43.5
You have to first,
29:44.5
have to jam first
29:49.5
ganito sa buhay mo?
29:54.5
Pero hindi permanent?
29:55.5
Hindi permanent yun eh.
29:56.5
Kasi may Gigi Star
30:02.5
Parang intro voice,
30:03.5
intro voice lang.
30:05.5
ang iniisip lang nila,
30:06.5
sila lang yung banda ko eh.
30:07.5
So they all think
30:08.5
So salawaan ka pa rin
30:12.5
yung mga banda ko puti,
30:16.5
Eh, hindi sinasabi ko
30:19.5
hindi naman kami parating
30:20.5
may gig na every week
30:23.5
gumigig pa rin ako sa iba.
30:24.5
Pag tinawag nila ako,
30:26.5
Parang ganit-ganit din
30:27.5
ang sagot ni Zach.
30:28.5
Alam nung bandang to
30:37.5
very tight and nice.
30:40.5
So hindi mo pa nakikita
30:41.5
yung bandang yun?
30:42.5
Is it safe to say?
30:48.5
yung tinutugtogan ko eh.
30:50.5
yung isang banda ko nga
30:54.5
Pag may original tugtugan,
30:57.5
medyo sineseryoso ko yun.
30:59.5
Original tugtugan yun.
31:00.5
Pero seryoso ko naman lahat.
31:09.5
May pattern ka sa babae
31:10.5
at saka sa banda.
31:13.5
wala kang permanent na babae,
31:14.5
wala kang permanent na banda.
31:16.5
Kasi lahat ng banda,
31:17.5
akala na permanent sila.
31:21.5
babae, ganoon din.
31:23.5
Wala kang permanent na babae
31:24.5
dahil feeling mo naman
31:25.5
na wala naman magkakagusto siya
31:27.5
na gusto mo or whatever, di ba?
31:29.5
Kung ang universe,
31:31.5
nabiglang binigyan ka ng
31:32.5
one opportunity to align yourself,
31:34.5
dito natin ilanding ha,
31:36.5
one opportunity to align yourself,
31:40.5
or the perfect woman
31:42.5
sa edad mo ngayon,
31:44.5
sinong pipiliin mo?
31:45.5
Perfect band, of course.
31:46.5
Ladies and gentlemen,
31:53.5
Banda pa rin, ha?
31:58.5
Guys, follow Jet on social media
32:00.5
and supportahan niyo pang hitog-tog siya.
