Rock Scene (Now)

[mertzvox]

Ano masasabi nyo sa tugtugan ng Rock Music Ngayon?

[mertzvox]

para sa akin gumanda ang rock scene ngayon compare nung time na nauso yung rapmetal.
mas ok bagsakan ng tugtugan ngayon.

band like

311
maroon 5
phantom planet
the strokes
the vines
rancid

punk alternative na may pinag halong grunge..

[loc0]

Stop calling it rap metal. No such thing.

[fatgrrl_slim]

Sa local scene, I think it's doing great now, coz we're getting to hear more diverse sounds from the bands. Salamat sa indie scene, hindi takot mag-experiment ang mga banda ngayon, unlike before na at the mercy palagi ng record companies.

Sa international scene naman, I dunno, but I still prefer the classics. After the grunge era, parang wala na. I can't think of a rock song that's currently making waves now that could be considered a classic ten years after.

Just my opinion, folks. :)

[emokid]

DIY!!!!

[K.I.L.L.]

it's getting there... still needs a lot of polishing up and a lot of bands need our support but we're getting there

[flipthebird360]

A lot of bands are experimenting and turning old-school now... The Darkness, for example... glam na glam! The Vines/Strokes, classic punk cum grunge...
Incubus is returning to their thrash-funk roots too! And for the local scene, AT LAST VOCALISTS STARTED SINGING RATHER THAN RAPPING GODDAMMIT! Kiss the rap/metal age goodbye!!!

[mertzvox]

RNB & HIPHOP MALAPITA NA MATAPOS ANG KASIKATAN..
IM SURE 2005 IS FOR ROCK BANDS. DAMI NG BAGONG SIBOL NA BAND NGAYON MAGAGALING LUPIT NG TUGTUGAN.

SA LOCAL SCENE SANA MAG BOOM DIN ANG LOCAL BAND PARA MASAYA LAHAT

[kumbaya]

sana nga .. hehe..

off topic: sino ba may cd dito ng cry of love ... at ng days of the new ...



:rocker:

[SoliduS_AlphA]

Ako may cd ng first album ng Days of the new.
I bet that 311 is the contender for modern rock act ,kahit na mas sikat dito sa pinas ang Incubus,311 started that rap+rock+reggae way back in the early 90's before the grunge era erupted during the reign of Kurt Cobain and the grunge bands from Seattle.The Vines are also great,they maintain that old school touch of their music especially the album Highly Evolved w/c I also have at home.Back to 311,their frist major album Music wasn't released worldwide but luckily I got one. :D Once you try listening to 311,you'll easily get the idea how the turntable got its share on rock performers.Oh in addition before Limp and Stinkin Park jumped into the bandwagon 311 was already using the turntable and also our very own Francis M during the hip hop hurray days.So for those who claim that Stinkin Park or Limp started those scratch'n noise sorry but they are misinformed.
Those who are interested for the Days of the new cd and 311's first album you may send me a private message. Maroon 5 is also good ,I'm just crossin my fingers that they won't be suffering the Sugar Ray syndrome.If you know what I'm talking about.

[mertzvox]

ano pang mga bagong banda?

[kumbaya]

hehehe old school na lang pakinggan nyo ...

pink floyd ... led zep...

opm, razorback. wolfgang..


:weg:

[mertzvox]

iba na rockscene ngayon so ano masasabi nyo sa tugtugan ngayon?

[mayonice]

sa ngayon andaming mabangis at malupit na mga bandang pinoy ang mas malupit pa jan eh independent pa sila.

[J-X91]

there are a lot of great bands out there who ARE more talented than the ones in the mainstream...saan na ang mga bands katuald ng LIVE?

[SoliduS_AlphA]

Live has released an album last year. Suede released a greatest hits double cd. Yes The Darkness sounded like glam and it impressed me a bit but rock music is still struggling here in the Philippines thanks to the promotion of bullshlt radio stations w/c destroys the airwaves and that non-sense taiwanese boybands w/c ruined the music scene.Rock music could have progressed if not for that intervention of those poser acoustic crap.

[mertzvox]

Na feel ko babalik na yung rock scene maybe late 2004 or sa 2005 im sure buhay nanaman ang mga banda.
Ngayon may sign na tignan mo namn mga tugtugan ngayon bago ang mga style ng tugtug. 80s influnce.

[joe_higashi]

I feel that its best that Rock artists right now stay indie para pure..

kaya everyone of us should have its support: buy their EPs, watch gigs (don't crash pay for the tickets) and don't buy pirated CDs lalo na sa bangketa sa re_to :glee: buy directly to the artists themselves tingnan natin kundi nagboom ang indie
rock scene.

pano pa ba?

kung gusto nila masign sa label para mas malawak pa makarinig sa kanila eh di.. syempre dapat makinig sila sa mga record execs pero malamang macompromise at may mabago.


pasensya na sa babble hehe

:D

[bubbachuck]

i think the white stripes is ahead of other "rock" bands right now, hopefully, they`d be appreciated there in the phil..i think this band is one for the ages, comes once in every generation..i really like this band, puting soul back in rock, with a mixture of old school blues, garage and and a liitle bit of country..they are great channelers of rock music..`the big three killed my baby``damn, that song is awesome..anyways, i lyk the strokes too, the vines are cool and the jet..queen of the stoneage, pin up girls, the hives..many more..jcak white rules though..peaceout..

[joe_higashi]

gusto ko sana bumalik ay candlebox..

[anghel]

honestly i am tired of the so-called "rap metal sound" if there is such a term...

that's why i am missing the 90's rock scene...

sometimes, even *** sinasabi nilang "malupet" ngayon...i just find them too "teenybopperish"....shallow lyrics and all that.

sana nga mag-evolve ng husto ang bands...

aarrggghhh! i am tired of the rap/hiphop scene na.....

i miss the old school!

Audioslave did good. There's a band for some of us still suffering from Soundgarden & Rage withdrawals.

Now we have Velvet Revolver...salvaged from G&R and STP. Have you checked out "Slither"?
www.velvetrevolver.net

[SoliduS_AlphA]

[kumbaya]

[chRoMeKniVe]

hiphop music and culture...

hm

sad how local "hiphop"-ers try too hard to dress,sound,talk,think and ultimately BE like their idols. "southeast-side represent!" hehe.

i wish we had local rock bands who dress up like...say...manson or something. hehe. or meron ba? na di ko lang alam?

emo looks like the dominant trend nowadays. i think. in the rock scene.

dapat ma-uso yung taong grasa look sa mga hiphoppers. para from the ghetto talaga!

[chRoMeKniVe]

ay

going back to the topic,

hm...rock...

a perfect circle

the mars volta

sparta

deftones

daming good music...!!! any other bands u could say are along the lines of these artists?

[mertzvox]

the strokes
the hives
the vines
the darkness
jet
dami pa bagong banda at nag evolve yung tugtugan tulad ng inubus, 311 , red hot, dami pa pero tingin ko mga rap metal na banda hirap magevolve ng tugtugan nila tulad ng
linkin park ganun pa rin walang pinagbago sa tugtug pero kaya naman nila eh change ng konti.
limp bizkitz ok bagsakan nila nagbago yung tugtugan galing like behind blue eyes, faith dami pa .

[SoleLunaStelle]

razorback
happymeals

[NOKiE]

the killers
the stills
the yeah yeah yeahs
the white stripes
the von bondies (bruised but still standin')
muse
the pixies are back

[SoliduS_AlphA]

Linkin Park is a rock poser,trying hard magpaka
hard sound,pero baduy naman talaga sila, pang teeny bopper lang yan,ang tunay na rock ay kagaya ng The Vines,kung versatility ang pag uusapan I'd for emo,or some old school type like The Ataris,sayang kasi yung ska hindi masakyan ng tao but ska is a good form of music,lalo na yung Mighty Mighty Bosstones,No Doubt(hindi lang ska,diverse ang sound nila).Metallica's St Anger sucks bigtime dinaan lang sa ingay pero wala na yung chemistry nila.

[mertzvox]

most of the new band evolve now are infuence by the ramones, the clash, u2 at iba pang band dati.

[dekadence]

death anniversary ni cobain ngayong april diba? april 4 ba yun? anyway...

opinion ko lang po, yung mga banda na binanggit ninyo, naririnig natin sila ngayon dahil maganda ang exposure at pagkaka-market sa kanila. sana lang ay tuloy lang ang ating mga radio stations sa pagpapa-tugtog ng mga ito, at pati yung mga unsigned bands lalo na dito sa pilipinas ay ma-bigyan din ng tsansa na marinig ng ibang tao yung musika nila. no offense sa mga hip-hop, acoustic at "pang masang tunog" heads dito, pero nakaka-sawa na minsan na pagbukas mo ng radyo ay paulit ulit na lang yung pinapatugtog nila. pero sabagay mahirap talaga kapag hindi marketable ang isang kanta or isang banda, because in the end, business pa rin yan. what they play on the radio is what sells.

tungkol naman sa mga poser poser bands na yan, masasabi ko lang diyan ay, ang poser na banda sa isa.. ay okay naman sa iba, yun lang po, bow.

[di_ako_si_glenn]

kapatid, bamboo, razorback, imago, eternal now, kinkyhooters, mayonnaise, kjwan

[acquiesce]

indie is the way to go.. :D hehehe!

galing ng mga bands natin ngayon...
mayo, severo, holding hands, hiraya, typecast, etc etc...dami daming magagaling. astig!

[joe_higashi]

hirap din sa indie eh gusto ng lahat ng tao ay mga freebies!

kakalungkot pero kung gusto nating maggrow eh...

lets also learn the business side of music at iadapt yung iba sa atin.

hirap sa indie eh yung mga banda na may mayayamang magulang lang ang 2matagal.

*disclaimer: this is not a generaliztion ;)

tiyaga rin siguro at patience ay pareho lang ata

sorry ha poor lang ako eh hehehe :glee:

*tonight

Outburst sa Rock 2 Metal with Bought by Blood etc.
baka gusto niyo makita DJ ng against the flow ng nu pls do drop by. nyeh! hehehe :lol:

[berdy]

with bands like urbandub and mayonnaise buhay na buhay pa din ang local rock scene. emo was supposed to catch on here this year although medyo mabagal pero meron na bands like typecast, betterfiller, and holding hands.

[mertzvox]

[SoliduS_AlphA]

old school pa rin ako.... :rocker:

[jorelpogi]

masaya! ang daming banda na lumalabas and gumagawa ng kanta! and ang gagaling! and young too!

[SoliduS_AlphA]

I'm still stuck with 90's rock music honestly.
And also some classic rock acts.

[danicalstix]

IT RAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! ALTERNATIVE METAL, DOOM METAL, GRUNGE-PUNK, EMO PUNK, DARK EPIC and GOTHIC, HARDCORE, ADULT ALTERNATIVE, REGGAE, BLUES, CLASSIC ETC...

U RAKS!!!!!!!!!! IT RAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoliduS_AlphA]

rock music needs a big act to regain the music scene especially here in the phil. We need bands that have raw power and talent that will uplift the spirit of rock n roll.

[kumbaya]

just wait for VELVET REVOLVER :weg:



the guitar solo's are back :rocker:

[numetal]

Rock scene is doing good.....though not as good as the rock explosion in the early 90's (grunge, alternative, metal) -- in terms of popularity and acceptance.

I think it's just around the corner, dami rock bands naglalabasan ngayon eh. The good thing is -- iba-iba ang sounds. Marami experiment....so hinde monotonous.

[liberty]

ako din.. glory days yung mid-90's, that era spawned a lot of breakthrough artists and genres.. sa foreign scene, *** grunge act nina kurt cobain, stp, soundgarden, smashing pumpkins, etc tpos mga neo-alternative/female acts nina tori amos, bjork, ani difranco.. then it was also the formative days of a lot of noteworthy punk-influenced bands that we have now like incubus, 311, etc etc.. andun pa *** political angst ng rage against the machine.. sa local scene naman, classic ang wolfgang, razorback, eheads, andun pa yung suggar hiccup, color it red, cynthia alexander.. etc etc..

[Glue_Sniffer]

We-ell...I'm really into those garage punk bands. (yeah yeah yeahs, strokes, von bondies, the vines) and some indie now (Hot hot heat, belle and sebastian.)

Right now though, I'm liking the White Stripes a lot. Bluesy, folksy...weird. Lolz.

And I do agree with the posts above. The local scene is getting more diverse. Thank God. I like the goth scene, and I effin hate bands like Slapshock. sorry to those who are fans. :p

[SoliduS_AlphA]

the best era kasi ng music was in the 90's talaga.I like listening to classic punk like Ramones,The Clash and their neo counterparts like Greenday,Offspring,Rancid and also ska bands like Mighty2 Bosstones, the Skalleluia album and Reel Big Fish. Some classic rock acts like The Rolling Stones and my very unsung hero Jim Morrison.

[danicalstix]

but yes, i agree...the 90's was the best era...cant forget those G&R, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Greenday, Nirvana, Metallica, Placebo, Silverchair, Mansun, etc days...hay...they were the best!

it seems that rock music now has become an evolution of diff types of genre..mixed and matched...and frustratingly, overplayed in the mainstream...

:) anyway, keep rock alive!

I liked the 70's better...Rancid did seem like the Clash's counterparts in their And OUt Come the Wolves days. But no one can top the Clash. :D

[strathead]

the dawn's "harapin ang liwanag" sounds good!:cool:

[mahreeyell]

napansin ko lang kanina sa myx, sunod sunod puro new songs ng local bands ang videos na linabas nila.. which is good. sana parang sa 90's ulit *** local rock scene.. haha

[SoliduS_AlphA]

Hmmm thats true but they tried mixing in and that album is one pure blast for me and some songs also were inspired by The Ramones,the sound of the guitar sounds like a fushion of The Clash and Ramones.Ofcourse The Clash are one of the greatest artist in the punk genre but its the Ramones I prefer. :) Well we differ from taste but most of them came from one root,punk.Nakakapanghinayang lang The Clash kasi di sila nagtagal but their achievement in the music bizz was very influential same with the Ramones.The Clash were awesome in terms of energy and crowd appeal,while the Ramones are more the easy go hey dude attittude.

[SoliduS_AlphA]

Out of punk music,maganda ang fusion nito sa reggae,the ska w/c is a form of a happy and speedy mood,Then came these EMO well, some bands that are related to are Thursday and the Ataris. Pero another 90's band that I really like is 311.No need to explain once you've listen to their first album Music.

[bubbachuck]

lovin the raveonettes l8ly..best band not named the white stripes or the strokes..

[mertzvox]

at least pabalik na ang 90s rock alternative na punk

[Down]

well, all i can say is that AEGIS will reign supreme after all of these faddish and trying hard "rock" bands fade away. now AEGIS...here's a band that we can all regard as "THE true savior of rock music."


AEGIS!AEGIS!AEGIS! "namimiss ko, ang halik mo..." (sigh)

[SoliduS_AlphA]

Lets just hope that there will be another bomb that will signal the comeback of rock n roll.

[mahreeyell]

down - "basang basa sa ulaaaan" :D hehe..

rakenroooollll \m/

[SoliduS_AlphA]

System of a down has the big potential to revive the rock scene,medyo kulang lang sa media promotion,given na yung talent nila.
Incubus,another great band.Not yet enough....
though they're almost here.
311-People are so confused with their music, its reggae.
Maroon5-wag lang sila magkaroon ng Sugar Ray syndrome.
Mudvayne- I'm no fan of them but they are also talented.Especially their bassist and drummer.
Staind-more...more....effort...They are good but they tend to become a singles chart topper
July for kings- good band but they're getting into Matchbox 20's shadow.
RHCP-just keep on rocking Flea and co.,I know
you're the biggest band right now.The only problem lies within the listeners.

[Khaos]

I'm far better off with "rap-metal" than emo.

Pero daming malupet.

Ang dami nang nasabi eh. Bat walang Tool? 311, palagi naman eh. I just find it ironic that only a few people knew about them but since the 50 First Dates where they covered Lovesong, dun lang sila sumikat bigla.

Hmm.

PEACE!

[Khaos]

I'm far better off with "rap-metal" than emo. Just my opinion. I can still listen to some emo bands, but then people told me they were "screamo"... so much for that.

Pero daming malupet.

Ang dami nang nasabi eh. Bat walang Tool? 311, palagi naman eh. I just find it ironic that only a few people knew about them but since the 50 First Dates where they covered Lovesong, dun lang sila sumikat bigla.

Hmm.

PEACE!

and yeah, ok White Stripes, di ko nga alam bat sinasabi ng iba overrated sila... di ba naisip ng mga tao na dalawa lang members nila and ganun pa tunog nila?

matagal na kilala ang 311 (my first encounter of them playing on mtv in 1996 the song was down)before pa yang 50 first dates,tell you frankly meron ako 1st album ng 311 w/c is not available here in the Phil. Tool madami rin silang fans,check out some PEX thread
and see for yuorself.And there's no such thing as rap metal, rap-rock would be more appropriate.

Isama mo na ako sa few people na nakakakilala sa kanila since 1996.Imagine that it took 8 yeard bago sila makilala ng iba.And our local band Cheese w/c I had a chance to interview over NU107 in 1999 admitted that they were influenced by 311.Now
its materializing in Cheese' album Pilipinas.

[zimdude]

ey Solidus... jamming tayo... Ramones, Clash and Sex Pistols... ;)

[Khaos]

Same here, totoy pa lang ata ako nun nakikinig nako ng 311 eh, hehe. And thanks for the better term ;)

Oy jorelpogi wasap. Hizon to.

[bubbachuck]

in the U.S., rock scene is verry much alive. with the bands like the white stripes, the strokes, the vines and the hives leading the way, back here in the phil. those type music are not yet accepted bcos most so-called local rock fans doesnt know what rock music is all about, w/c is basically about the `soul' of the music. its not abwt being dramatic(emo), or being whiny(punk). its abwt feeling it. im nt against any forms of music but put a soul in it, a good one, and u`ll dfinitely be apreciated by `true' rock fans..i`m just being a white stripes die hard fan..peace and GOD Bless..

[eonneonone]

quote]Audioslave did good[/quote]

i beg to disagree. they broke my heart. :(

the indie scene is healthy right now, and the good thing is that eevryone is going indie nowadays :rocker: ang saya di ba?

sa mga foreign bands naman, yung british scene yung medyo nagkakaroon ng leeway kasi parang kahit sino na lang basta me british accent akal nila cool na. coldplay was the last british band i liked pero after parachutes, everything ended. radiohead, led zep at beatles ang dabest na rakenrol band na british.

perfect circle/tool pa rin ako. di ko pa masyado naririnig ang the darkness pero pakiramdam ko lang marami na namang gagaya sa led zep nito :lol: history is repeating itself. cool yung the vines/the strokes pero ang lupit ng the white stripes. raw and unadulterated. :rocker:

salamat at tapos na yung tinatawag nilang
(c)rap metal. in fairness, innovative sana nung una eh (rage against the machine days) kasi nadevelop nila yung sound na inumpisahan ng Run DMC-Aerosmith. kaso lang dumating sa point na lahat na lang puro ganun yung tugtugan, tapos puro growl na lang maririrnig mo. isa na lang yung peste sa rakenrol scene nito. yung mga bandang mala blink182 yung tunog (good charlotte et. al) na akala nila punk sila pero hindi. sencia na baka me good charlotte fans dito. :sorry:

saka nga pala, kindly tell ms avril lavigne that punk is not all about wearing black and acting wild in front of the camera. anlayo kasi sa punk credo ng mga ginagawa ng mga punk ngayon eh. real punks go against the system.

yun lang. eonneon, naguulat. :D

[joe_higashi]

real punks go against the system.

hmm pano kung we go againts the system of punk itself.. di ba punk parin yun? :)

i believe punk is doing what you want whatever anybody says *okay*

[RIGOR]

yellowcard
the used
dashboard confessional

[eonneonone]

go againts the system of punk itself

i think that qualifies as conformity, isang bagay na wala sa bukabularyo ng mga punk. :)

hindi po ako punk. hehehe. just read nuff bout them kasi mga tito ko Herald X days pa. mula sex pistols hanggang the wuds. hehehe

[loc0]

go againts the system of punk itself
Double negative.. conformity nga. Plain and simple, hehe.

[joe_higashi]

hehe hindi ko naintindihan...

basta ako straight edge or TH na straight edge hehe

[mayonice]

[Anger Rising]

How about local heavy rock bands? Where can i see them?

Ala-Black Label Society/DamagePlan/SuperJoint Ritual/Pantera?

[FarOutFreak]

Rock is too vague. Somehow it's easier to specify artists/groups that are adding value to the current "rock" scene.

I don't claim that these groups are rock, but they sound great as heck to me:


The Hives
Allister
Forty Foot Echo
Midtown
Reel Big Fish
A Perfect Circle


In any case, just as one band dies down, there's always a ton of other bands just waiting to take their place.

OT: To anybody who knows where I can find a copy of the Squid 9 album, PM me.

:silly:

[jon322]

rock scene now = garage rock

[paulgilbert80]

yeah i like garage rock

"i wish we had local rock bands who dress up like...say...manson or something. hehe. or meron ba? na di ko lang alam? "


i dressed up like manson before and ppl hated it *lol* not that i care, i just got tired of the HR side of being a band that isn't with your friends.

anyway, as for the music now? ... to put it plainly, it sucks.

i like one song from lemons and oranges and the last cd i got was from dashboard confessional (a week ago). prior to that, i ddnt purchase anything for 2 years, not even a pirated something.... yes, that is how much albums suck nowadays... there are only singles worth listening to, and singles are better downloaded than bought together with the album.

Haha. That made me laugh.

Posershite. LOL. :D

Yup! Back to basics: rock and roll.

[paulgilbert80]

yeah jet, the strokes, the vines, the darkness ok yan sila

[layer]

music today sucks??? of course not!!! :) there's a wealth of good music out there. you won't find them on mtv.

[vedder]

LA N KWENTA!!

[zemenelin]

sa mga nagsasabing patay na ang rock scene dito sa tin, well try to go out from time to time.. :D daming banda dyan na magagaling... and try to open up to new music and move on. yung iba kasi nastuck na sa 90's. dami pa ding into rock n roll na pinoy rock band.. just be open enough sa mga naririnig and napapanood nyo wag masyadong critic sa kanila. :D

my 2 cents

[layer]

yup daming stuck sa 90s. in fact i think rock music is improving. sobrang nag-cacash-in lang kase mga record companies sa emo-punk. although there are still some good emo bands.

[greaver]

the horror!! punk going mainstream now. daming lalabasan na poser punk wearing punk band shirt tapos pag tinanong mo tungkol sa band na yun ni di alam isang kanta. and the mosh today is stupid, instead of having fun they kill each other

[nemoblues]

ang rock scene ngayon sa pinas ay umaasenso na.. ang dami nang mga magagaling na banda na sumusulpot..

--pero ang ayoko lang ngayon ay hindi na matutuloy ang concert ng slipknot!!!!..................... :~( :~( ..... nakaka-inis!... yan ang hindi maganda sa rock scene ** sa pinas...(yung mga ibang foreign acts ayaw tumuloy **)...

[paulgilbert80]

problema sa rock scene ** sa pinas iilan lang ngayon nasa mainstream. d tulad dati nung panahon ng eheads dami nagsulputan ang saya nun sana bumalik uli . tingin ko next year or 2006 babalik na yun

[baybee]

upset sin ako sa slipknot! ano bang reason baket hindi natuloy concert nila? :bigcry:

[JC00]

the rock scene now is basically a neutered version of old school rock.

[SDGR55]

heard of KJWAN???

sila ang bubuhay ng ROCK SCENE natin dito sa pinas...KUPAW Days is over...and PUNKPUNK-an...

[brown_man]

yes..ok ang KJWAN i like 'em....pero sana mauso ulit mga artist na technical guitar oriented....like kotzen, bettencourt, paul gilbert, pantera, megadeth...etc.... at siyempre glam rock and grunge....boring kasi puro sigawan (na halos ika- baog ng mga bokalista...hehehe :D )at puro talunan na tugtugan.....

[SDGR55]

onga...pero ang crowd kasi ngayon wild eh hehehe...siguro hiwalay ang crowd talaga ng real listeners saka yung tinatawag na "PARTY PEOPLE" hehe...ROCK ON

[paulgilbert80]

[onewiththeSWANS]

weird...but i see some improvement in the rock scene...these past two years...it seems like people are starting to be appreciate better music as the average listener starts to gain better musical tastes...the new albums found in record stores possess more diversity musically...some bands or acts have incorporated new stuff to the usuals heard...well...creativity has somehow been underlined once again...save several acts...especially that local band whose name rhymes and sounds like cliche...hint hint...and those similar to that mindless act...

"Embrace The Darkness"
:evilgrin:

[Lucca Yamazaki]

We Kick *** for the Lord


Sounds cool!

[mag_taho_tau]

puro mainstream na..

[SoliduS_AlphA]

ok lang kung mainstream basta wag lang ripoff. :D

[st.anger]

mainstream is ok as long as they don't suck.

[SoliduS_AlphA]

^^ *okay* *okay*

[mellowscream]

looking forward for a better rock scene this 2008!

[pangetsibeckham]

opm rock right now is reaching the phase of over saturation(o nareach na ba?) ,once you couldnt tell who's or which band is singing a song, may problema na. honestly, i couldn't distinguish 6cyclemind from callalily, or callalily from blue ketchup etc so on so on.i beg to disagree that our rock scene today is doing fine.it did, well, early 2000, but now you have a bunch of rockstar wannabes that has songs that even a 2nd grader can write.

i can name a few really notewrothy sort of new opm bands... early sugarfree, pupil, jr kilat, urbandub, and itchyworms. the rest are plain, bland, mediocre.

thank god the korn, limpbizkit etc era is gone.

i miss grunge.

[galingsabuwan]

tama ka dyan. walang diversity karamihan sa mga banda ngayon. parang basta lang makatugtog at sumikat, ok na.

[st.anger]

Wolfgang needs to make a comeback.

[crescendo]

STRING QUARTET TRIBUTE to a gazillion rock bands. Haha.
A whole new level of listening to rock music. Though hindi na rock yun kung tutuusin, astig pa rin.

[mellowscream]

Wolfgang needs to make a comeback.


they had a reunion concert last year.

[eydzhey]

asan ba yun thread ng urban dub? ***** naman. alam naman natin ang urban dub ang pinakamalupit na banda ngayon tapos wala silang thread?

[Rommele]

Walang kwenta! Local or foriegn parehas lang mga basura!!

[blue_streak]

wolfgang, juan dela cruz, razorback, and maria cafra should make a comeback and teach today's bands an invaluable lesson on what it really means to ROCK.

urbandub and radioactive sago project are the last remaining upstanding awesomely good local bands today.

on the bigger scene, i hope led zeppelin's december concert opened many eyes (and ears) to the truth.

the truth that CLASSIC ROCK IS KING! hahaha :D

no matter what anyone says, dream theater is still the best genuine rock band around.

[superspartan032]

hehehe old school na lang pakinggan nyo ...

pink floyd ... led zep...

opm, razorback. wolfgang..


:weg:

I agree!! old school is still the best there is... don't forget metallica, rage against the machine. :D sa local naman, tama ka sa wolfgang, dagdag nyo na rin dahong palay at advent call...

[proudtobepinoy]

During the 1990's LA Rock 105.9 dmi pnapatugtog na OPM, Wolfgang, Razorback, Maria's Mistress, Dahong Palay (Si the Doctor ng LA Rock yta manager ng Dahong Palay), Violent Play Ground, Teeth, Bad Omen, Pulpito, Death After Birth etc.

[mellowscream]

sa mga foreign acts this 2008 sa manila, rock scene will be alive again.

[vanhalen]

totoo yan alive ang foreign acts. Emo daw tama ba ko?
hindi kasi ako gaano maka relate.
tumatanda na siguro ako hehehe

[stingray1059]

well, all i can say is that AEGIS will reign supreme after all of these faddish and trying hard "rock" bands fade away. now AEGIS...here's a band that we can all regard as "THE true savior of rock music."


AEGIS!AEGIS!AEGIS! "namimiss ko, ang halik mo..." (sigh)

agree*okay* madi disband na yang cueshe, hale, sponge cola, etc. but aegis will still be around.
