00:27.0
So, a lot of my decision, really, at that time, I was the youngest member.
00:31.0
Dependent on what sila, Junboy, you know, were gonna say,
00:34.0
and Martin Galan, our manager, you know.
00:35.6
What we did was, we took a pause, di ba?
00:38.0
Then we just said, told each other na,
00:40.1
let's just bury Teddy first, then decide what to do next.
00:43.3
Then, living na si Tedz, we all met, sat down,
00:46.8
and then, we decided to move on, and tuloy yung banda.
00:49.9
But initially talaga, with no plans, parang our brains were totally empty, blank.
00:55.2
When I found out with Moon, I sat down on a chair,
00:56.8
and I did not move for an hour.
00:58.8
Parang di ko, anong nangyayari ngayon, di ba?
01:00.7
Iba yung pakiramdam after Moon passed, and after Teddy passed, eh, no?
01:04.6
Kay Teddy ba may galit? Kay Moon may luka?
01:08.2
You know, because the way Teddy left us was, for lack of a better word, you know.
01:13.6
It was violent, you know.
01:15.3
No one deserves to die that way,
01:17.7
especially a person who was just purely and simply a musician.
01:22.8
Then there's a lot of other people redefining the landscape.
01:25.5
It's a little scary, and it's like,
01:27.1
kailangan pa ba tayo rito?
01:28.3
Because the E-heads were blowing up,
01:30.4
and everybody liked that sound.
01:31.9
Very different from the Dong.
01:32.8
In a sense, it was like, yeah, maybe it's time to, ano eh,
01:35.6
because it's stupid din naman na, oh, magtunog E-heads time,
01:38.5
because that's not how we write, that's not how we play.
01:41.6
On my part, I wanted to leave the band.
01:44.1
But it wasn't like, okay, this band tayo.
01:46.6
It was a personal thing.
01:47.8
In fact, I was happy to suggest to them,
01:50.8
maghanap ko yung ibang singer.
01:53.0
How did you feel when he said he was going to leave the band?
01:56.1
Uh, we all agreed na it's time to stop.
01:59.3
Nag-iyakang kami sa likod.
02:01.0
Kampalan, gano'n.
02:02.7
I'm gonna miss you.
02:06.0
Magkaibang kwento, eh.
02:08.3
Ano naman ang feeling niyo sa Jo, Bim,
02:15.1
Hindi ko pa sila kilalaman, eh.
02:16.6
May ayaw sa kanyang gano'n.
02:18.9
Tsaka yun, naghubad ka ng shirts.
02:20.6
Nalumpot din, eh.
02:21.6
Tapos na, ako umiyak noon.
02:25.7
Umiyak kami lahat noon pa.
02:27.6
As a frontman, are you confident na silang apat ang nasa likod mo?
02:50.6
And the podcast will begin in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
03:03.0
Ladies and gentlemen, finally live at Paco's Place.
03:13.0
Milestone sa akin to, eh.
03:14.8
I mean, kung wala kayo, wala lahat to.
03:19.2
This is the Big Bang Theory in the studio.
03:22.6
Yes, so thank you, good night.
03:24.3
Okay, guys, let's go.
03:25.6
Okay, we're done, we're done.
03:28.2
Please like, subscribe.
03:31.2
Hindi, pero congratulations on your tour, Jet.
03:34.2
Junboy, Francis, Sancho, Bim, thank you for being here.
03:38.9
How does it feel like being in the States again?
03:42.6
There was a time you guys were here kasabay ng 9-11, eh.
03:45.0
Yes, back in 2001.
03:49.0
What's the difference, then and now?
03:51.8
Well, now we're older.
03:54.4
Much older, but it's just great to know that people still appreciate us
04:00.2
and still know our music.
04:01.4
Between the first U.S. tour and now.
04:05.7
22 years, you know.
04:08.3
Honestly, I wasn't expecting the same, you know, reaction
04:11.5
and the same love from the people here in different parts of the States,
04:19.1
So, to have these people actually show up to the gig in such numbers
04:24.7
and still singing the songs along with us,
04:28.1
to me, it's mind-boggling.
04:32.0
The music stayed with these people and even, you know,
04:37.5
encouraged their next generation, if you will,
04:41.7
over here to appreciate our music.
04:44.2
So, yeah, in many ways, it's better.
04:46.6
Alam mo yun? Kasi parang there was less expectation,
04:51.4
at least on my part.
04:54.4
But it exceeded my expectations as far as, you know,
04:58.0
the people are reacting to our tour so far.
05:03.6
And of course, with our new member, si Bimbo, diba?
05:06.8
Yung mekus-mekus insan.
05:12.4
Sinimula mo, Sancho, ah.
05:15.0
Okay, Bim, love you.
05:16.8
Love you, love you.
05:18.8
Okay, pa-kiss mo, ah.
05:19.8
Kanina, your music has transcended three generations na eh, diba?
05:26.8
Yeah, if you count the very beginning, Junbo and I, no?
05:30.8
With Teddy and Carlos, yeah.
05:32.8
Yes, three generations.
05:34.8
Five members. I've always wanted to ask this question.
05:38.8
What was the decision to go five?
05:41.8
Before na rin si Dodo, but that was temporary.
05:44.6
Ito permanent eh.
05:46.6
There was really a time before this, you know, before this iteration, if you will, no?
05:53.6
There was a time, five na kami.
05:56.6
There was a time it was, yeah, sushi.
05:59.6
We were even six.
06:02.6
Permanent yun, ah?
06:03.6
Hindi, kasi hieroglyphic, apat lang palagi eh.
06:06.6
Yeah, so nagiging lima na yung sun ngayon, diba?
06:08.6
The rays of the sun used to be four, now it's five.
06:12.3
And as Kiko said, there was a time we were even six.
06:15.3
But Dodo was a session keyboardist, Dodo Fernandez, no?
06:18.3
And the guys on the front line, so to speak, were me, Junboy, Kiko, at Sushi Matsuhura.
06:27.3
And Carlos Balcel.
06:30.3
So that was the first time, no?
06:32.3
And then there have been changes, of course.
06:36.3
Bumalik kami sa four-man team.
06:38.3
So yun, iba-ibang iterations din yun.
06:41.1
There was a time with Kenneth.
06:46.1
Mag-usapan natin si Kenneth, ma'am.
06:47.1
Hindi, wag na, okay na yun.
06:50.1
Body, Junboy, and myself, no?
06:53.1
And then, fast forward, naging...
06:59.1
Hindi, nagkaroon pa pala ng Kiko, Body, Junboy, and me.
07:03.1
And then it became Sancho, Body, Junboy, and myself, no?
07:09.8
And then, well, I guess, to cut a long story short, naging kami.
07:14.8
Because, well, Kiko was a returning member, and Sancho is already very much a part of the band,
07:20.8
so we met and we said, why not have them both?
07:24.8
So it became Kiko, Sancho, Junboy, me, and Mon Legaspi, who sadly passed away last year.
07:33.8
And so now we have Bim.
07:36.6
You've lost, let's go there.
07:38.6
You've lost two members.
07:41.6
Parang when I go back and reflect on the Don as a band,
07:48.6
yung resilience ninyo and at the same time, yung personal history,
07:53.6
tragic, traumatic, sad, may gano'n e, di ba?
07:56.6
May ups, may downs.
07:58.6
How do you guys deal with that?
07:59.6
Like, first, kay Teddy, and then lately, kay Mon.
08:03.6
You can't just move on, kahit sabi mo nandyan si Bim.
08:06.4
You can't just forget that last time when you played that song for Mon.
08:11.4
Earth, yeah, earth.
08:12.4
Ramdam ko yun, di ba?
08:14.4
But how do you guys deal with it, especially both of you?
08:17.4
Nakaready lahat ng questions para sa'yo, kaya enjoy your coffee muna.
08:24.4
As he enjoys his coffee, I'll answer first.
08:29.1
With the loss of Teddy, that was a time when we were really at a loss.
08:34.1
We just didn't lose a member.
08:36.1
We lost parang our future.
08:38.1
You guys were robbed.
08:39.1
Yeah, essentially.
08:40.1
Of your future, yeah.
08:41.1
And so unexpectedly and so quickly.
08:46.1
So no one really knew.
08:48.1
But for some reason, we just decided to move on, hopefully find a new member.
08:54.1
Although alam namin hindi madali yun because Teddy Diaz, really.
08:57.9
It was Teddy and Junboy who were the catalysts of the dawn.
09:00.9
From the very beginning in 1985, wala pa ako noon.
09:06.9
It was such an unbelievable, unthinkable situation na hindi ka makaisip.
09:12.9
You don't really know what's ahead when you're still reeling from the loss.
09:17.9
Naisip mo ba na, shoot, magiging engineer na ako nito, tapos na kareer ko.
09:22.6
So for me, it was, okay, go back to school, finish my engineering.
09:28.6
But there's always one foot in the band.
09:33.6
There was still hope.
09:35.6
But syempre, iniisip mo rin, the very person who had this idea called The Dawn,
09:46.6
So a lot of my decision, really, at that time, I was the youngest member.
09:52.4
Depended on what sila, Junboy, where we're gonna stay, and Martin Galan, our manager.
10:00.4
So maybe Junboy can take it from here.
10:05.4
No, what we did was, we took a pause.
10:09.4
Then we just said, told each other, let's just bury Teddy first, then decide what to do next.
10:16.2
Then living na si Ted, we all met, sat down.
10:21.2
And I think we had that four-cart thing scheduled.
10:26.2
It was four carts.
10:27.2
So we made it a tribute.
10:29.2
Tribute muna, and then decide what to do next.
10:32.2
And then, we decided to move on.
10:35.2
Tuloy yung banda.
10:36.2
But iniisip talaga, no plans, parang our brains were totally empty, blank.
10:43.9
When I followed with Mon, I sat down on a chair.
10:45.9
I did not move for an hour.
10:47.9
Parang tingin ko, anong nangyayaring ngayon.
10:50.9
Same with Ted, same.
10:53.9
Then yun, we decided to proceed.
10:57.9
Pero may feeling ba na may galit ba?
11:02.9
Iba yung pakiramdam after Mon passed and after Teddy passed.
11:06.9
Kay Teddy ba may galit? Kay Mon may lungkot?
11:11.7
Because the way Teddy left us was quite, for lack of a better word, it was violent.
11:23.7
No one deserves to die that way.
11:28.7
Especially a person who was just purely and simply a musician.
11:37.4
Na hindi niya ine-expect na yun na pala yung huling gabi niya sa mundo.
11:44.4
But ganon pala, when you do someone important like that, in that manner,
11:50.4
parang it's all a mixture of emotions.
11:54.4
Yung sadness, disbelief, anger, all rolled into one.
12:00.4
But moving forward, when JB passed,
12:06.2
we shared about the Folk Arts gig.
12:12.2
In some ways, that was the catalyst to bring Francis on board.
12:17.2
Kasi wala kaming gitarrista noon.
12:19.2
We lost Teddy but we had a concert waiting.
12:22.2
So yung concert sa Folk Arts na yun, it became a tribute.
12:26.2
Where we hosted or we featured three guitar players who were our friends.
12:30.0
Francis Reyes, David Lava, and Resty Cornejo of Identity Crisis.
12:40.0
So there were three guitarists in one big set, in one big concert.
12:44.0
Sa segue ako doon, you were with Afterimage at the time.
12:48.0
Did you have any inkling na, dahil pareho kayo ng management noong time na yun,
12:54.0
you guys were also managed by Martin Villan.
12:57.7
Was there an inclination or were there talks behind the scene na ikaw ang susunod?
13:02.7
No, not that I was aware of.
13:04.7
Sige, I've always known him even before The Don existed.
13:10.7
Afterimage and The Don had a really good relationship but I never thought that.
13:15.7
Kasi si Sushi pa before Kiko, right?
13:19.7
You mentioned Noel Mendez.
13:22.7
He was the guy in the mask.
13:24.7
He had like two or three gigs with us.
13:27.7
It was uncertain pa, on uncertain terms pa eh.
13:30.7
Because he also had plans for himself as a musician.
13:34.7
So yeah, timeline wise, it was Noel Mendez, Sushi, and then eventually Francis Brew.
13:43.7
Ito, ito, I'll address it to you.
13:46.7
You among, noong nawala si Teddy, ikaw lang ang full-time musician sa inyong tatlo eh.
13:54.7
Well, I was in school.
13:56.5
But I devoted more on, yeah.
14:01.5
My schooling got affected majorly.
14:05.5
I went back, night school na.
14:07.5
I was not kicked out.
14:09.5
I went to the main, parang, oh my gosh, ang babata na dito, nakakaya na yata dito.
14:13.5
Do you know what's a Benilde?
14:16.5
So I could have gone back to the main.
14:20.5
Because in the 90s na, I felt the band was, we were losing our focus
14:25.2
and we didn't know, parang, sige nga, balik na akong school diba.
14:28.2
So I went back to school before the band broke up, 94.
14:34.2
Did you guys really break up dahil sa mga nangyari?
14:39.2
O dahil you went, dahil you worked?
14:41.2
O dahil nag-solo ka?
14:43.2
Yeah, well, it was a personal decision.
14:47.2
I wanted to leave the band then.
14:49.2
But it wasn't like, okay, this band tayo.
14:52.2
It was a personal thing.
14:54.0
In fact, I was happy to suggest to them back then,
14:58.0
maghanap ko yung ibang singer and we can move on.
15:02.0
Because I wanted to try something new.
15:05.0
I was, my life was the band for eight years.
15:10.0
So that was school and the band, basically.
15:14.0
O dahil naisip mo lang, dahil ikaw ang bunso, wala kang say?
15:17.0
No, no, no. It was never like that.
15:19.0
From the beginning, we all had equal footing.
15:22.8
So, God bless the setup of The Don.
15:26.8
It's like that. Once you become a member,
15:28.8
you all have a say in what goes on musically, career-wise.
15:35.8
But yeah, it came to a point where I questioned,
15:39.8
my future na parang, okay, eight years na.
15:43.8
How far longer can I do this?
15:46.8
For people to understand what you're going through,
15:49.5
this eight years, lumalabas na dyan yung mga intro voice na yan,
15:52.5
yung mga eraser heads na yan.
15:54.5
Kailangan ko yung intro voice.
15:55.5
Yung mga after image.
15:56.5
Intro voice na yan.
16:00.5
Kailangan mo yung intro voice?
16:03.5
Sino yung intro voice?
16:05.5
Kailangan ko i-setup lang because ang hirap eh.
16:08.5
You're trying to, paano ako masasabihin?
16:11.5
You guys were the benchmark eh.
16:13.5
Benchmark yan eh.
16:15.5
Tapos hindi nyo naman ginusto yung nangyari.
16:18.3
And then yung career na iba yung trajectory.
16:22.3
Tapos may mga sumisibol.
16:25.3
I mean, you guys were relevant, yes.
16:28.3
But then again, yung identity as a band
16:31.3
was already being shared among others.
16:36.3
Among other bands, diba?
16:38.3
So, I'm just setting it up for the people where you're coming from dito sa
16:41.3
trying to find yourself naman as Jet Pangan eh.
16:45.0
How did you feel when he said he was going to leave the band?
16:51.0
We all agreed na it's time to stop.
16:54.0
Nag-iyakang kami sa likod.
16:57.0
I'm gonna miss you.
17:03.0
Magkaibang kwento eh.
17:10.0
Pero hindi aseryoso.
17:11.8
Well, I remember, I agreed.
17:13.8
I think it's time to put an end to this.
17:17.8
Maraming maraming verso eh.
17:19.8
How did you feel?
17:20.8
Kasi ikaw din yung gitarista nun eh.
17:22.8
Well, siyempre, you know, I made a decision when I was 17
17:25.8
that I'm going to be a musician.
17:28.8
And be involved in the industry in whatever shape or form.
17:32.8
So, I was a little clueless for a while.
17:36.8
I mean, I'm really a guitar nerd and all that.
17:39.6
So, it's like, oh, what am I going to do with this, right?
17:43.6
So, anyway, I ended up nagsession for Lou Bonnevie and Joey Allen and all of that.
17:47.6
But, to your point, I think it happens to,
17:51.6
I mean, look, nung lumabas yung The Dawn, then there was the Identity Crisis.
17:56.6
Kunti yung banda making original music eh, right?
17:59.6
So, The Dawn, and to an extent, Identity Crisis,
18:02.6
especially nung umpisa, had the playing field to ourselves.
18:07.3
After Image to a degree, before yung Next in Line became rewritten as a pop song.
18:15.3
And you're right, even yung younger bands now,
18:20.3
they're feeling that way, dun sa even younger bands.
18:24.3
And it was really intriguing because, do you know Si Blaster of?
18:30.3
So, we had a gig, we shared the bill,
18:36.1
and then, oh, let's jam on a couple of songs.
18:38.1
So, we invited them over to the headquarters.
18:40.1
At, of course, itinigin namin sa kanila,
18:42.1
you know, they're really young and ganyan-ganyan.
18:45.1
A funny thing is, si Chris, yung girlfriend ni Blaster said,
18:49.1
yan, mga batang banda nga, hindi na namin…
18:54.1
Eh, di ba, si Si Blaster, mga anak na nung mga peers natin.
18:58.1
So, even they're feeling that.
19:00.8
But the nice thing about being here now, decades later,
19:05.8
is, oh yeah, that's gonna happen.
19:07.8
We'll always have to share space with anyone who's younger,
19:10.8
who writes really good songs, maybe writes even better songs,
19:14.8
and that's all okay.
19:15.8
But yung point where you feel that you somehow are part of shaping the…
19:23.8
The landscape of music, ah.
19:25.8
Then there's a lot of other people redefining the landscape.
19:29.6
It's a little scary.
19:30.6
It's like, kailangan pa ba tayo rito?
19:32.6
Because, you know, there's new…
19:34.6
I mean, at that point, the Eheads were blowing up.
19:38.6
And everybody liked that sound.
19:40.1
Very different from the Dawn.
19:41.1
We're kind of slick-sounding.
19:43.6
So, in a sense, it was like, yeah, maybe it's time to…
19:47.6
Because it's stupid din naman na, oh, magtunog Eheads tayo.
19:50.6
Because that's not how we write, that's not how we play.
19:53.6
It's not being honest din, eh.
19:55.6
Sa itong conversation na to, you guys were having this conversation?
20:00.4
Wala ka lang noon.
20:01.4
Wala ka lang noon.
20:02.4
Pero pinag-uusapan ka rin namin.
20:03.4
Intro voice na yan.
20:04.4
Guitarist ng intro voice.
20:05.4
Drummer ng intro voice.
20:07.4
Yung mga intro voice na yan.
20:09.4
Ibang topic pa rin.
20:10.4
Ibang topic pa rin.
20:11.4
At sa that time, nag-a-artista ka.
20:15.4
Tatanggal ka pa ng t-shirt.
20:18.4
Hindi ko alam yun na.
20:21.4
Ano naman ang feeling nyo sa joke, Bim?
20:25.1
Nung nalaman yung dalawa, naaalis siya ng The Don.
20:28.1
Kasi ako, nainis ako noon, eh.
20:34.1
I mean, I always said, what are you gonna do?
20:37.1
And then nainis pala ako dahil hindi niya ako kinuhang drummer.
20:41.1
But, but, parang inisip ko na inisip ko lang,
20:47.1
Pero yun lang yung sana.
20:48.1
Pero kayo yung dalawa, no?
20:52.9
Hindi ko pa sila kailanganin, eh.
20:54.9
Umiyak ka sa kanyang gano'n.
20:56.9
Tsaka yun, naghubad ka ng shirt.
20:58.9
Nalangkot dinero.
20:59.9
Sabi ko sila, ako umiyak noon.
21:04.9
Umiyak kami lahat noon pa ako.
21:06.9
Ako rin, dinitin ako.
21:08.9
Siyempre nalukot.
21:09.9
Yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah.
21:12.9
I was a fan of, anong,
21:14.9
1987, 1986 ba yung October Storm?
21:18.6
Si Teddy, watching Teddy.
21:21.6
Sabi ko, yun yung gusto kong gawin sa buhay ko.
21:23.6
Sinabi nga ni Jet, nasa gallery ka raw noon.
21:27.6
Gay crush lang yan noon.
21:28.6
Parang, sila parang nag-diss band.
21:34.6
But at the same time,
21:36.6
ang dami nang lumalabas sa bagong banda.
21:40.6
They don't really pave the way for...
21:46.4
Opportunities for lots of other bands.
21:49.4
I really mourned, anong,
21:51.4
when they parted ways that time.
21:55.4
I was 13 back then.
22:02.4
Pakicut yun, ha. Pakicut yun.
22:09.4
They're my biggest influence.
22:11.4
Kaya ako nag-guitara din.
22:12.4
Same with Perth, e.
22:13.4
Ganun, ganun din, e.
22:15.2
Noong napanood ko sila,
22:16.2
that was Teddy back then sa Concert at the Park.
22:22.2
Ami, isa TV ah, black and white.
22:23.2
Sorry ah, pero black and white ang TV ko.
22:25.2
Black and white TV.
22:27.2
Oo, pero black and white.
22:29.2
Pero yung antenna ginagalaw ko.
22:32.2
Biggest influence.
22:34.2
Siyempre na-disrupt.
22:37.2
Tapos yun, nalungkot ako.
22:38.2
Well, those are interesting answers to an interesting question.
22:41.2
But personally...
22:42.2
Ikaw, yeah, yeah.
22:43.9
Hindi mo inisip yung pakiramdam namin?
22:48.9
Kaya ako nag-huban.
22:49.9
Minus pagtatanggal yung t-shirt mo.
22:52.9
Bigger picture is,
22:53.9
that's what exactly what we wanted to happen.
22:55.9
We wanted the scene to blow up.
22:58.9
And it was happening.
22:59.9
So instead of it look...
23:02.9
instead of seeing it as some sort of threat,
23:04.9
or some sort of discouraging situation,
23:09.9
yun yung gusto kong mangyari.
23:11.7
Nagdumami yung banda sa mainstream.
23:13.7
So bands like yourself,
23:17.7
Razorheads or whoever.
23:21.7
yun yung gusto kong makita.
23:23.7
And it was happening.
23:27.7
Whatever driving factors I may have had
23:29.7
in leaving the band in 94,
23:31.7
it wasn't because of the scene in general.
23:33.7
It was more internally.
23:36.7
Of course, merong...
23:40.4
malaking bagay din yung makikita mo na,
23:41.4
oops, may bago na.
23:44.4
it shouldn't be seen as something of a negative.
23:49.4
Ako pa nga, thank God.
23:51.4
Ito na, ito yung gusto nating mangyari.
23:54.4
Prior to you guys, wala eh.
23:55.4
It was a different scene.
23:57.4
Alam mo, Junboy and I know this.
23:59.4
We were just lucky.
24:01.4
To become mainstream.
24:03.4
For a label to sign us.
24:06.4
Those were just things that happened.
24:08.4
They just lined up.
24:12.4
You know what I mean?
24:13.4
Of course, we worked hard.
24:15.4
We weren't just singing whatever.
24:17.4
We worked hard for our music.
24:18.4
Because yun yung discipline ni Teddy Diaz eh.
24:21.4
To really make music.
24:23.4
Na hindi yung para sumikat lang.
24:26.4
And we were just fortunate that
24:28.4
at that time, our management,
24:29.4
Martin Galan was very good.
24:32.4
He also had no expectations.
24:34.4
He didn't know the music scene
24:35.4
as well as the other managers.
24:39.2
what was needed to be done
24:41.2
And it materialized.
24:45.2
Kasi at that time,
24:47.2
wow, talagang konti lang yung
24:51.2
in the way that we were able to.
24:56.2
And then, fast forward to 1994-1995,
24:58.2
you see all these bands blowing up.
25:00.2
You paved the way.
25:01.2
You guys paved the way.
25:02.2
Whether we paved it or not, man.
25:03.2
Hayop yung nangyari.
25:05.2
Hayop yung nangyari sa inyo.
25:06.2
Thank you sa inyo.
25:07.2
There, I'm saying it.
25:09.0
Kaya sa kanila, wala kaming lahat.
25:11.0
Hindi dahil sa the Don,
25:12.0
hindi ka maguhuman.
25:17.0
The Don ang dahilan.
25:19.0
You're always setting yourself up.
25:21.0
So guys, we're sorry for that.
25:26.0
Kaya ako nagubad.
25:35.0
from doing the JPG,
25:36.0
the Jetpangan Group,
25:37.0
to being part of NEO,
25:39.0
you also helped other bands get known.
25:44.0
And other musicians,
25:46.0
you paved the way for them.
25:49.0
Sancho was my office mate.
25:51.0
He was my boss sa NEO Records.
25:58.0
this guy is an excellent A&R.
26:04.0
they like a variety of music.
26:06.7
Whether it be heavy,
26:10.7
malakas ang pang-amoy niyan sa,
26:12.7
you know, what's gonna hit.
26:14.7
We were just talking about POSPORO.
26:18.7
si Sancho ang nag-LSO.
26:22.7
Yeah, Sancho can give you the details.
26:24.7
The correct details of POSPORO.
26:26.7
Ang ganda ng delivery mo kagadaan.
26:27.7
The original composer.
26:34.7
Written by Adrian Crisanto.
26:38.5
there was a music festival,
26:40.5
parang songwriting contest.
26:43.5
ako nag-screen na,
26:44.5
I think almost 200 entries.
26:47.5
POSPORO stood out.
26:50.5
hindi siya nanalo sa,
26:52.5
What about POSPORO stood out for you?
26:57.5
Ang bigat ng lyrics eh.
26:59.5
We were talking about that.
27:00.5
Ang bigat ng lyrics.
27:02.5
hindi mo pa nakukuha,
27:03.5
kailangan nang ibigay.
27:05.2
My favorite line there is,
27:07.2
Ang sugata na yung nag-aalabang lakas.
27:10.2
At pag-ibig ang natatangay mong alas.
27:15.2
Melody, ang lakas ng melody.
27:17.2
Very simple yung chords.
27:18.2
Paulit-ulit lang halos yung chords.
27:20.2
Pero the arrangement wasn't like that?
27:22.2
Iba yung arrangement nung original ni Adrian.
27:25.2
Actually, you can find it sa YouTube.
27:28.2
Tapos, antagal na yun.
27:29.2
I was also consultant for another label.
27:34.0
Kunin natin ito sa Adrian.
27:35.0
Ito yung POSPORO.
27:36.0
Hindi rin nag-gain attraction with them.
27:39.0
Pero binaon ko talaga yun.
27:45.0
consultant area naman ako for an indie label.
27:52.0
Sige, why don't we
27:55.0
yung Get the Don just for one single?
27:59.0
Hanap tayo ng ano.
28:00.0
Ang teka, were you part of the Don?
28:03.8
So, ikaw na yung intro na,
28:05.8
yung intro ng POSPORO na na-unique to Spotify.
28:11.8
we invited Sharon Regis
28:14.8
and si Third Flow
28:18.8
Siyempre, wala si Third Flow pagkano.
28:20.8
Ako yung biglang nag-rapag live.
28:25.8
Tinulungan kami ni Chino David.
28:31.5
gusto ko lang may ibang perspective
28:39.5
Noong time na ginawa niyo POSPORO,
28:40.5
were you back with the band?
28:42.5
Yeah, that was two years ago.
28:44.5
During the pandemic.
28:49.5
Sorry, magdivert lang ng konti.
28:51.5
Yung drum pattern kagabi,
28:53.5
noong pinapakinggan ko yung POSPORO,
28:56.5
nanonood ako ng concert ng The Don
28:57.5
prior to this taping.
28:59.3
And I was totally blown away.
29:03.3
Talagang hindi ako nag-backstage.
29:06.3
Sinari ko hindi ako nanonood sa gilid ng stage.
29:08.3
I-enjoy ko ito as a fan.
29:11.3
And goosebumps talagang.
29:14.3
So, I heard you're drumming here sa POSPORO.
29:17.3
It's very typical J.B. Leonore fashion.
29:20.3
Pero yung composition ng drum patterns was,
29:24.3
where's your microphone?
29:26.3
I was sharing with Sancho that,
29:28.0
kasi we never met face-to-face.
29:30.0
E-mail lang yun eh.
29:35.0
So, it was sent to me.
29:36.0
I couldn't figure out,
29:37.0
wow, papano kaya ito?
29:38.0
It's too pop yung drumming.
29:40.0
Papano kaya ito magiging The Don?
29:41.0
It took me days or weeks,
29:46.0
Para lang malaman nyo,
29:47.0
ayan na yung tunog.
29:48.0
Papano ito magiging The Don?
29:53.0
really makes it The Don.
29:56.8
I don't know kung tinex ko,
29:59.8
I don't know what to do here,
30:03.8
my plan is parang Sunday,
30:07.8
Pero mabagal yung pos-pro eh.
30:08.8
So, if you remember the drum pattern there,
30:10.8
parang Sunday, blare sunday,
30:12.8
Pero it's slower.
30:16.8
the eight quarter notes in pos-pro
30:18.8
is 3-5, 3-5, 3-5.
30:19.8
Yung uniqueness nun eh.
30:21.8
The feel is kinda weird
30:22.8
because it's 3-5,
30:28.6
Gagawin ko parang Sunday,
30:31.6
may bahalisan na,
30:34.6
Kaya lang maganda,
30:37.6
I don't know if you did,
30:43.6
Yung, yung, yung,
30:47.6
Parang lumipad talaga.
30:48.6
Pinaalam ko rin yun,
30:49.6
pwede ba tayo mag-double time
30:50.6
kasi that's not done eh.
30:56.3
double time mo rin,
30:58.3
Yeah, yeah, go, go, go.
31:01.3
It's very, very nice.
31:05.3
BM, ito naman ang tanong nun.
31:06.3
Wala ka sa pos-pro.
31:09.3
Wala ka sa pos-pro,
31:12.3
a little paradise,
31:17.3
wala ka sa salamat.
31:18.3
Para si live ng lahat.
31:21.3
Anong gusto mong sabihin, Gabe?
31:25.1
He has to carry every bass player.
31:32.1
And that's a hard job.
31:38.1
Kalingan question mo,
31:39.1
yes, he does, he does.
31:40.1
Alam ko, who does eh?
31:42.1
Teka, ito yung tanong.
31:44.1
getting the gig is nice, right?
31:48.1
Pero meron kang body zabala sa loob niya,
31:50.1
meron kang carnival set.
31:52.1
That really sounds fun to me,
31:53.1
body zabala sa loob niya.
31:54.8
May carnival set sa loob niya.
31:56.8
Andito si Alatta loob.
32:00.8
Sige ikaw, ganyan niya.
32:01.8
To specify, in the playing.
32:04.8
But you have to contextualize this eh.
32:08.8
Anong mindset nun?
32:11.8
ito yung context sa question ko.
32:12.8
I was watching him last night.
32:16.8
ibubudabuda ba niya to?
32:20.8
binigay mo sa songs,
32:23.6
sounded like the songs.
32:25.6
And the way you were interacting with Junboy,
32:28.6
sabi ko kay Jaja,
32:29.6
kita mo to talaga,
32:30.6
talagang siya pa yung nanggaganoon kay Junboy.
32:37.6
You were owning it.
32:38.6
So anong mindset?
32:39.6
Well, it's a tribute to Kaloy,
32:47.6
nung ine-ensayo mo lahat yun?
32:49.6
Amalgamation of the four,
32:53.4
Anong realization mo na,
32:55.4
na-appreciate mo ba,
32:57.4
si Kaloy in a different way?
32:59.4
He's my influence.
33:00.4
He's my influence.
33:01.4
So nung kinikilatis mo na,
33:02.4
kasi iba yung pinakikinggan natin eh,
33:05.4
It's hard actually.
33:07.4
Dahil iba yung timing ni Kaloy eh.
33:08.4
I don't know if it's laid back or,
33:11.4
Even Kaloy doesn't know yung timing.
33:14.4
That's the trickiest thing, no?
33:17.4
He has his own time.
33:21.4
Junboy has his own time.
33:23.1
So hindi ko alam kung paano ko i-fuse.
33:27.1
Yun yung pinakamahirap dun.
33:28.1
So sino sa mga bases na,
33:34.1
hindi ko na-inexpect na gano'n yun ah.
33:39.1
yung dadon sound eh.
33:41.1
So nire-replicate ko yun,
33:44.1
you heard it last night na,
33:46.1
Kayo ba na-appreciate nyo yun,
33:49.1
Because in the end,
33:51.1
you still hear Bim,
33:52.9
Bim is all over those influences,
33:59.9
yung time that si,
34:06.9
because we still had
34:07.9
a couple of corporate gigs ahead.
34:09.9
we always have a bunch of,
34:10.9
a list of session bases.
34:13.9
Mackie of True Faith,
34:15.9
ganyan-ganyan-ganyan.
34:20.9
looking a little bit
34:23.6
maybe what we should do is,
34:25.6
I don't think we wanted,
34:28.6
Mon is a brother,
34:35.6
let's get another guy,
34:39.6
I hit upon the idea,
34:40.6
maybe we can just be,
34:41.6
the Don like the Stones.
34:43.6
there's a permanent bass player,
34:46.6
Parang Duran Duran,
34:51.6
I hit upon the idea,
34:52.6
maybe we can just be,
34:53.6
the Don like the Stones.
34:55.6
there's a permanent bass player,
34:56.6
so maybe puwede si,
34:57.6
ganyan-ganyan-ganyan.
34:58.6
There's always a problem of,
34:59.6
what if may tugtog siya,
35:00.6
tas may tugtog tayo,
35:03.6
it's kind of a problem.
35:06.6
this guy messages me,
35:08.6
may inquiry para sa inyo,
35:09.6
for a motoring event,
35:12.6
baka pahinga muna kayo.
35:16.6
sinetap lang kayo nyan.
35:19.6
mayroon tumawa kayo,
35:23.6
yung number ni Bernice,
35:24.6
our road manager.
35:27.6
get in touch with Bernice.
35:31.6
if you need a bass player,
35:42.6
Yan yung naisip mo sa akin.
35:46.6
wag nakaisip sa'yo.
35:48.6
nakaupo ako sa kama,
35:57.6
gotten in touch with you yet,
35:58.6
because this guy's gonna be a shot in the arm.
35:59.6
Kasi naalala ko how,
36:01.6
we've known each other for years.
36:03.6
But he wasn't on our list
36:04.6
because he wasn't active as a bass player
36:06.6
for a number of years.
36:10.6
he hasn't played for nine,
36:11.6
hadn't played for nine years.
36:15.6
bago mag-rehearsals,
36:16.6
he dropped by the store
36:19.6
he was shopping for something.
36:20.6
He plugged in the bass.
36:21.6
Plug mo na yung store.
36:22.6
Okay lang naman eh.
36:23.6
Hindi, okay lang.
36:24.6
Mag-re-resign ako.
36:31.6
I'm writing the resignation letter, ma'am.
36:37.6
and then I remembered
36:44.6
first rehearsal pa lang,
36:48.6
because you know,
36:49.6
the vibe was great,
36:50.6
the playing was great
36:55.6
nagka-aha moment,
36:56.6
sinong unang sinabihan mo
36:57.6
sa kanilang tatlo?
37:00.6
I think I brought it up,
37:02.6
I didn't bring it up with Jet yet.
37:03.6
I brought it up with you guys
37:08.6
Ayaw boi, Sancho.
37:11.6
paano mo bringing it up
37:16.6
only you would know.
37:19.6
I don't remember.
37:21.6
what was your reaction?
37:25.6
pero were you game
37:31.6
like your earlier question
37:33.6
we did the same thing,
37:40.6
entering your head,
37:41.6
this is the end of it,
37:44.6
Then I just told everyone,
37:48.6
leaving muna si Mon,
37:49.6
then let's decide.
37:50.6
Then this came up.
37:54.6
anong desire mo si Beam?
37:57.6
Ang nangyayari kasi noon,
37:59.6
December may gig na,
38:02.6
so we really had to play.
38:04.6
kahit temporary lang,
38:05.6
we just had to finish,
38:18.6
knowing True Faith,
38:20.6
True Faith is busy rin,
38:29.6
he doesn't have a band.
38:33.6
baka pwede ganyan, ganyan, ganyan.
38:40.6
our last corporate gig,
38:45.6
what do you think?
38:46.6
This guy starts pacing back and forth.
38:51.6
he's gotta be a member of the band.
39:05.6
Beam Book has always been shortlisted.
39:08.6
in our later career,
39:12.6
basta magaling yung bahis na may banda yan.
39:16.6
So it came as a surprise
39:18.6
was actually working behind the scenes,
39:22.6
not playing live.
39:25.6
it's too good to be true,
39:29.6
but once he started jamming with us,
39:35.6
akala ko si Kenneth
39:40.6
Ikaw naman, Beams.
39:46.6
yun talaga yung purpose mo?
39:48.6
May tugtog talaga,
39:50.6
No, meron, meron, meron.
39:56.6
So si Takuna for,
40:01.6
ginamit mo na rin as an opportunity
40:04.6
yeah, yeah, yeah, kasi…
40:10.6
So bakit nine years kang hindi nagbanda?
40:17.6
I do commercials mostly.
40:18.6
No, but what made you walk away
40:19.6
from being on stage?
40:21.6
this was True Fate time?
40:22.6
And then what happened?
40:24.6
sa True Fate kasi…
40:25.6
So after True Fate,
40:26.6
hindi ka na nagbanda?
40:27.6
No, no, no, no, no.
40:32.6
pwede magtanggal na shirt?
40:42.6
nagpa-revirginize
40:49.6
That's the amazing part
40:50.6
because the moment
40:51.6
you started playing with us,
40:52.6
it's like instant.
40:57.6
great story with Bim.
41:01.6
so ready na yung set namin
41:04.6
there were longtime fans
41:11.6
requested for this song
41:14.6
in the first album.
41:16.6
It's the one song
41:17.6
we did not rehearse
41:20.6
But we saw the glamour,
41:24.6
I didn't even suggest it
41:26.6
kasi alam ko hindi in inside.
41:28.6
And then he goes,
41:30.6
He put on his earphones,
41:31.6
found some material.
41:35.6
Inaaral niya on the spot,
41:39.6
it's not prog or anything,
41:41.6
admit or technical like that,
41:42.6
but it's not an easy song
41:50.6
But somehow he did it
41:51.6
and when we played it,
41:54.6
medyo ahalayan mo siya,
41:56.6
Meron kang konting kaba.
42:01.6
the count-in started
42:02.6
and we started playing
42:09.6
Pre-recorded yun.
42:15.6
So, yung conversation ninyo,
42:19.6
sino roommates nga pala?
42:21.6
Lahat ba kayo solo?
42:26.6
Three in one kumot.
42:28.6
When you guys go on trips,
42:31.6
sino ang roommates?
42:36.6
it's been me and Kiko.
42:37.6
Ano conversation yun dalawa?
42:41.6
and after the gig?
42:42.6
Ba't gusto mo malaman?
42:44.6
Wala naman ako sa room nyo eh.
42:46.6
talking about you?
42:49.6
Remember that time
42:53.6
ano yung conversation,
42:54.6
ano yung debriefing
42:57.6
Oh, we talk about
42:59.6
I mean, sometimes we talk about
43:01.6
the situation the world is in.
43:06.6
Like, for example,
43:12.6
may ganyan-ganyan.
43:13.6
Ah, Kix, you were
43:16.6
So, there's that.
43:17.6
You know, all sorts of things.
43:18.6
Post-mortem stuff, yun.
43:22.6
Nagro-rotate kami.
43:25.6
So, pag sila nag-bimbo,
43:29.6
habang nag-audit na...
43:37.6
the worst was having
43:42.6
Pucha, death metal.
43:43.6
Kami. Kami ang apat.
43:45.6
Kung humilik tong talong to,
43:47.6
Iba-ibang pictures.
43:50.6
Double time lahat.
43:54.6
sino roommate mo?
43:56.6
So, anong conversation yung dalawa?
44:07.6
Diba? I don't know.
44:08.6
Pareho kami yung math nerd nito.
44:14.6
And then, pareho din kami.
44:22.6
And then, of course,
44:23.6
post-mortem nung,
44:24.6
Uy, okay yung gig.
44:25.6
Uy, parang okay yung ginawa mo doon.
44:35.6
Mike, yung talent mo, ha.
44:37.6
Tanggal na ng headphones, oh.
44:39.6
Oh, nag-resign na.
44:40.6
Mike, balik ka dito.
44:42.6
Who is hard on themselves
44:54.6
Ako, I know I am.
44:56.6
Yeah, same, same.
45:01.6
But to a certain degree.
45:03.6
I guess the older you get,
45:04.6
the more you realize
45:05.6
you're human, you know?
45:07.6
Things will go wrong
45:09.6
whether or not you wanted it to go wrong.
45:14.6
But still, I guess
45:15.6
it's part of our love for what we do.
45:18.6
We don't take it for granted.
45:19.6
Corny as it may sound,
45:21.6
but I don't think we would've lasted this long
45:23.6
if we did not care for quality.
45:26.6
Which leads me to my tie-in question.
45:29.6
You love what you're doing.
45:31.6
When did you realize
45:34.6
you needed The Don?
45:38.6
Is that a question to all of us?
45:40.6
Because you're the one who left.
45:44.6
Okay, that's a very good question.
45:46.6
Because really, when I left The Don,
45:47.6
I thought it was a closed book.
45:50.6
And we had a conversation about this.
45:52.6
In many ways, for me, it was.
45:54.6
And it's not out of anything negative.
45:56.6
There's no emotion attached to it.
45:58.6
It's just moving on.
45:59.6
I like doing different things.
46:01.6
And when you've been doing something for so long,
46:03.6
you want to do something else.
46:06.6
So, I guess coming back to The Don
46:08.6
was another something else.
46:11.6
You went through everything
46:12.6
and then you want to go back full circle.
46:14.6
And I guess it helped
46:16.6
because it gave me a fresher perspective
46:20.6
because this time around,
46:21.6
this is not a passing stage.
46:23.6
You're back with The Don,
46:25.6
still doing something else.
46:27.6
But this is like,
46:29.6
in my perspective,
46:32.6
Essentially, it is.
46:35.6
Musically, it is.
46:39.6
Who initiated the return of the band?
46:42.6
Wow, was that Sushi?
46:46.6
We have a lot of abeges.
46:48.6
It was really Sushi.
46:53.6
I think somebody approached us,
46:55.6
Who were with you?
46:56.6
Were you two with Sushi?
46:58.6
They're not in a club.
47:01.6
They don't have ecstasy.
47:11.6
It was a time of ecstasy.
47:12.6
So, I don't know how that cropped up.
47:13.6
I'm not sure if it's Eric and Michael,
47:16.6
Or is it me and Sushi?
47:21.6
So, this thing came up.
47:23.6
Hey, why not have a reunion?
47:25.6
It should've been one-off.
47:29.6
Let's get together.
47:30.6
And they all said yes.
47:32.6
So, you two and Sushi first.
47:34.6
And you found the idea appealing.
47:37.6
There was a text.
47:38.6
So, it was just text.
47:39.6
So, they texted you.
47:41.6
No, I think Sushi gave me a call.
47:44.6
The technology was still primitive.
47:46.6
Let's just say that he got in touch with me.
47:53.6
For me, it was a surprise.
47:54.6
Of all people, why this guy?
48:01.6
I felt his heart was in the right place.
48:03.6
He really wanted the band to come back.
48:06.6
okay, if this guy wants it back,
48:08.6
then maybe I should give it a shot.
48:13.6
But it should've been just one show.
48:15.6
And we're still here.
48:21.6
The second reunion.
48:26.6
It was just one show.
48:29.6
So, having this incarnation of the band,
48:32.6
what's the future like?
48:40.6
our manager, James,
48:41.6
is pressuring us to finish an EP.
48:44.6
Or an album, if possible.
48:50.6
Yeah, just keep doing gigs.
48:54.6
What else are we in a band for, really?
48:56.6
But to face an audience,
48:58.6
no matter how big or small,
49:05.6
During the pandemic and lockdowns,
49:09.6
our numbers to Spotify,
49:12.6
maybe we should make new music.
49:15.6
So, I made something.
49:16.6
Guys, what do you think?
49:17.6
Pasahan ng files and whatever.
49:21.6
Earth was the result.
49:24.6
Doing Posporo was one result.
49:27.6
There was another song.
49:29.6
And then there's a song na
49:30.6
hindi pa nalalagyan ni Bimbo ng bass.
49:35.6
That song's finished.
49:36.6
There's a couple of other ideas.
49:38.6
There's another song na kompleto na.
49:45.6
Sanchez was like,
49:47.6
Yung album ni Unique.
49:48.6
And we love his album.
49:52.6
So, it's things like that na
49:53.6
hey, we can try that atmosphere.
49:56.6
Not to copy that,
49:57.6
but yung ang ganda nung vibe,
49:59.6
maybe we can try and do something like that.
50:02.6
And that's the fun part about
50:06.6
Look, we're independent.
50:07.6
We're not signed to any label or anything.
50:10.6
So, yung pinakamahalaga is
50:12.6
hey, do we like the songs
50:13.6
that we're writing and putting together?
50:15.6
And it's so much funny.
50:17.6
Because I remember yung Ascendant
50:20.6
when Mon was still around.
50:23.6
let's just write music.
50:26.6
If we really love it,
50:29.6
And I think yung Ascendant
50:31.6
was one of the best-reviewed albums
50:33.6
of The Don's career
50:34.6
because people felt that,
50:36.6
you know, they felt whatever it was.
50:37.6
Oh, kumbaga you were trying and
50:39.6
you weren't pushing anything
50:40.6
na hindi nawala ron.
50:42.6
If it needs to be loud,
50:48.6
conscious about how long
50:49.6
or how short the song was
50:53.6
Put it on tape, if you will.
50:55.6
And of course, ako personally,
50:56.6
I'm intrigued with
50:58.6
because Bim is also
51:00.6
an arranger and a writer.
51:02.6
So, he has ideas.
51:04.6
I mean, that's gonna
51:06.6
give The Don's sound
51:08.6
another dimension.
51:09.6
In fact, we do have.
51:11.6
We have the demos already.
51:14.6
ikaw nga ni James.
51:16.6
Ang problema kay Bim kasi
51:19.6
itornade mo na yung insan.
51:20.6
Yung inuna niya eh.
51:25.6
mag-record ng bass
51:28.6
But that's out of his system na.
51:30.6
I mean, that's, yeah.
51:32.6
Being part of this unit, no?
51:35.6
Dream come true to it.
51:39.6
It's a dream come true.
51:42.6
Paano ko ba sasabihin?
51:51.6
We were talking about it
51:52.6
na pinapaconfirm mo sakin
51:56.6
o, jumam ka, jumam ka.
51:58.6
As much as I would love to,
52:03.6
Kasi para sa akin,
52:04.6
one song is one song special.
52:07.6
Nagigat sa ibig sabihin.
52:09.6
Hindi pong I would rather
52:10.6
just watch you guys
52:13.6
and probably play it somewhere else.
52:16.6
who wouldn't want to be part of this unit.
52:20.6
him not being part of the earth.
52:22.6
Nagigat sa ibig sabihin, di ba?
52:24.6
So, for you to have,
52:25.6
to be in this unit,
52:33.6
parang nangyari rin sa'yo,
52:37.6
ang ibibigay mo sa bandang to?
52:40.6
Full 100 percent.
52:41.6
Kasi it's a dream come true,
52:43.6
Actually, gusto ko
52:46.6
Yari kayong dalawa.
52:49.6
he taught me how to play guitar.
52:50.6
Yung pala talaga,
52:54.6
he taught me how to play guitar.
52:55.6
Yung pala talaga,
52:58.6
Lagot ka, Sancho.
53:00.6
Gateway lang yung pagbabass.
53:05.6
May booking gateway
53:08.6
gateway sa pagkikita.
53:17.6
Like being part of the Don.
53:18.6
Kasi kung kayong dalawa
53:21.6
ngayon lead singer mo siya,
53:25.6
At taga-templan ng kafe.
53:28.6
nung naging boss,
53:31.6
And now, kabanda ko.
53:37.6
This feels like home.
53:39.6
Kasi I've been...
53:45.6
I've played with the Razorheads.
53:46.6
I've played with Cynthia Alexander.
53:49.6
I have a project band,
53:50.6
kami ni Kevin Roy.
53:52.6
And someone pointed out,
53:54.6
Sanch, iba-iba yung
53:56.6
iba-ibang banda mo.
54:01.6
O nga, sa Razorheads.
54:02.6
Medyo indie rock.
54:09.6
acoustic na medyo mabigat.
54:11.6
Medyo Jeff Buckley.
54:13.6
But yung biggest guitar hero ko
54:15.6
si The Edge kasi.
54:17.6
And dito nagagawa ko
54:18.6
yung pagka The Edge ko.
54:28.6
I really enjoy yung
54:31.6
parang sound architecture.
54:32.6
Yung creating new tones.
54:34.6
Minsan, I don't have to play
54:38.6
basta compliment the song.
54:41.6
andyan naman si Kiko
54:43.6
Tamad na akong mag-solo ngayon.
54:45.6
Happy na akong mag-rhythm.
54:48.6
create new sounds.
54:58.6
there was an opportunity
54:59.6
for me to meet Clay Luna.
55:10.6
I remember the history.
55:12.6
He was there before you were there.
55:16.6
Yes, Teddy was the one singing.
55:21.6
We got Martin Galan.
55:23.6
He booked us in several
55:26.6
Then after a few gigs,
55:27.6
he goes to Ted's.
55:29.6
Ted's, you can't sing.
55:32.6
May tanong siya about Clay.
55:33.6
Ano yung tanong mo?
55:37.6
Kasi maganda yung
55:38.6
kinekwento niya eh.
55:40.6
Because isa-setup ko naman
55:41.6
yung tanong ko after niya
55:45.6
Then we were looking for
55:50.6
ang nagsabi kay Ted.
55:51.6
No, si Martin Galan.
55:52.6
Si Martin Galan nagsabi.
55:54.6
Ted's, you can't sing.
55:56.6
So we were auditioning
55:57.6
looking for a female singer
55:58.6
for months on end.
56:00.6
Hindi ko alam kung
56:01.6
gano'ng tagalong mahabot to.
56:02.6
Did it reach a year?
56:03.6
I don't remember.
56:04.6
But this guy showed up
56:10.6
May mga kasama siyang ano.
56:12.6
Mga mag-audition din.
56:16.6
And he was helping out
56:19.6
yung hina ng voice.
56:20.6
Wala pang pro gear noon.
56:21.6
I was just home equipment.
56:24.6
Naka-full blast lahat.
56:26.6
Just to make the voices come out.
56:28.6
had to lower everything.
56:30.6
So we had a meeting
56:34.6
So your name for Clay,
56:39.6
I was able to meet
56:43.6
And then I met Clay.
56:44.6
Not to discount Caloy.
56:46.6
kasi kayo munang apat.
56:48.6
when he was packing up
56:50.6
the drums I was using
56:54.6
And someone said,
56:58.6
And I had to look
57:03.6
talking and chatting.
57:08.6
nakita ko kayong lahat
57:09.6
and hindi ko kilala.
57:12.6
interaction with Mon.
57:14.6
But you were there
57:15.6
from the beginning
57:22.6
who are here today.
57:27.6
the band you're in?
57:30.6
Ang habang biyayon
57:36.6
its up and downs.
57:37.6
The story evolves,
57:42.6
is moving forward
57:43.6
in a very good way.
57:46.6
Ang daming kwento.
57:47.6
A band is like a marriage,
57:52.6
full steam ahead,
57:55.6
We're moving forward.
57:58.6
are shaping up really well.
57:59.6
It's a nice album title.
58:01.6
Full steam ahead.
58:07.6
yung mga bass parts mo.
58:10.6
Nagiging emotional ako.
58:26.6
gusto nang mag-give up,
58:38.6
What can I tell these people?
58:41.6
we also have to come
58:44.6
or respect the fact
58:46.6
when you're in a band,
58:48.6
different groups of people.
58:57.6
relate to each other,
58:58.6
what your working conditions are,
59:00.6
what your dynamics are.
59:05.6
may not apply to you.
59:09.6
kailangan magka-intindihan kayo,
59:11.6
Alam na nila yun,
59:12.6
kaya banda sila eh.
59:17.6
they had something going.
59:21.6
if it doesn't work out,
59:22.6
by all means guys,
59:23.6
you can take a break from it
59:25.6
or do something else.
59:27.6
But if you think that
59:28.6
you can go the long haul
59:32.6
and you get along anyway,
59:35.6
Kaya nyo magsama na matagal
59:36.6
without getting into fistfights,
59:38.6
then I would say, yeah.
59:40.6
Take it as far as you can.
59:42.6
But one thing is for certain,
59:49.6
keep an open mind
59:56.6
Pwede mo masabihin na
59:58.6
open-minded ka na?
60:01.6
Pag nagtanggal ka ng t-shirt,
60:07.6
I guess we all have to co-exist.
60:12.6
Because there comes a time
60:14.6
when you need a circle.
60:18.6
When the world...
60:24.6
Because God has shown us
60:29.6
that you should not
60:30.6
take off your shirt
60:31.6
to protect yourself.
60:36.6
Itong album na gagawin nyo,
60:40.6
EP or full album,
60:43.6
are you still applying
60:44.6
the same principle,
60:46.6
the same mindset na
60:47.6
whatever comes in will happen?
60:49.6
Now that I know na
60:50.6
arranger pala si Bim,
60:52.6
A&R pala si Sanj,
60:54.6
you guys are mat-nerds
60:57.6
you guys are hard on yourselves
61:02.6
You really make this sound bad, man.
61:05.6
depending on the...
61:08.6
Mike, are you okay, Mike?
61:09.6
Mike's been scratching his head
61:18.6
nitong album na to?
61:20.6
Aside from hindi pa
61:21.6
nagre-recording si Bim,
61:23.6
what's holding it back
61:25.6
na nagre-reklamo na si James
61:27.6
na tapusin yung album?
61:30.6
It's a good problem
61:31.6
because thanks to James,
61:36.6
in the middle of that,
61:37.6
there would be...
61:38.6
Diba biglang magkakaroon
61:39.6
ng uptick ang COVID?
61:42.6
Di na naman akong magkikita-kita.
61:44.6
But more than anything,
61:46.6
I guess as we speak now,
61:49.6
medyo the world is really
61:51.6
hence we are here
61:52.6
doing what we love
61:56.6
whatever is holding us back now
61:57.6
is the busyness of things.
62:01.6
to the Philippines,
62:02.6
I think one of the
62:05.6
things we have to
62:07.6
is really allotting time
62:13.6
Kailangan na ikahon talaga.
62:14.6
There are a lot of ideas
62:16.6
It's just a matter of
62:29.6
on the arrangement.
62:32.6
kasi kulang pa ng ano.
62:35.6
Kailangan pa natin na
62:36.6
do something else
62:40.6
tulog na don pa rin.
62:45.6
the younger ones.
62:46.6
It's good that we have
62:48.6
Kasi kung kami lang yan,
62:50.6
we don't have any judgment
62:53.6
We have a version
62:56.6
But Sancho kind of
62:58.6
targeted perspective.
63:00.6
If you can call it that.
63:03.6
are you confident na
63:05.6
ang nasa likod mo?
63:09.6
Ladies and gentlemen,
63:19.6
That's how you end it.
63:29.6
Take off your shirt!
