i don't mean to be the bad guy but often there are things that happen during a gig where i lose control of my temper momentarily and want to reprimand people haha. i know last night was not an isolated thing because i've made bandmates cry before (upfair 2004? 05? i'm not sure) and i've been confronted more than once about it and i know i really should be a lot calmer onstage and they're just songs and mistakes don't really mean the end of the world haha, but i dunno it's not me doing the reprimanding hahaha
i know it's just not me, either. i haven't seen it personally but ean keeps telling these stories of some bandmember having these spats of just kicking bandmates, or giving evil stares cause of mistakes or being off time or out of tune or something. and i don't think ean and i can forget that rivermaya gig where rico was just kicking his pedalboard and then kicking the roadie who was trying to fix the problem with the pedalboard hahaha (i remember thinking "wow idol ko sya" hahahaha)
and i don't know usually i'm a pretty stubborn person but i feel guilty when i lose it with shirley haha awww cue sappy music. sorry bandmates you know who you are hahaha
and in other news kevin garnett is now a celtic. boston now has paul pierce, ray allen, and kevin garnett. wow. that's the sound of the balance of power shifting. hahahaha ang weird ng english.
nasa akin ang kapangyarihang sakupin ang buong mundo pero di ko kayang sakupin ang puso mo,

screwups are inevitable. when you're onstage and it's all business, emotions sometimes take over. parang si wade at si payton nung playoffs ng 2006, diba halos mag-away sila? pero off the court (and offstage) wala dapat personalan yun. hehe.
ReplyDeletekaya guitar players, always tune up before going onstage. tapos laging band love. hehehehehe.
inedit ko owel ha... -ean
ReplyDeletehmmm re doc and rico:p it's their deal, i guess. peace!
ReplyDeletenagtune up naman ako e. maling setting lang ng tuner. sorry. di ko gamay tuner ni attorney.
ReplyDeleteayus lang yun ean, maraming na ring nabiktima yung tuner na yun. kaya nga tuwing may hihiram, i always warn them that the frequency should be at 440 hz and the pitch at C. "caveat emptor" ba? pero pag sa gigs na madalas madilim at nagmamadali, posible talagang makaligtaan yun. you might want to try this tuner-pedal called "son-of-a-pitch" na nakasama na sa effects chain mo para anytime pwede kang magtono, lalo na inbetween songs. meron yata sa lazer nun.
ReplyDeleteHUG EAN HUG!!!!!! :D
but gig slip-ups and mishaps notwithstanding, ito lang masasabi ko:
ReplyDeleteANG SARAP TALAGANG TUMUGTOG AT KUMAIN KASAMA ANG SHIRLEY!!!! :)
Owel,
ReplyDeletei understand how you feel. minsan talaga gusto naten magandang maganda at walang mali, pero that will never happen. di talaga magiging "perfect" ang music and thats the beauty of it. actually mas maganda nga na may "mali" dahil it gives a more human touch to it (and may lead to more interesting variations -- lalo na pag live performance) and thats interesting diba? basta easy ka lang bro :)
nga pala, im still working on "klepto" suprise ko na lang sayo yun once its finished. and also, pending paren ang isang remix ko ng kanta nio ha? hihihi.
cheers!
it happens. and it's understandable :) i think everyone at shirley has a general handle on the emotional/professional balancing act... it was just one of them days, and i think we're all aware of it when it is.
ReplyDeleteHUG SHIRLEY!!!
awww. now that's what you call band love, professionalism, and respect! ang sarap maki-hug. :p
ReplyDeletesori sa edit requirement i love you ean - owel
ReplyDeleteayun naman pala owel e :) band love forever! at may kilala rin akong band "kickers" haha 'wag na yun ang i-idolize mo haha UNLESS band progress ang kapalit. ultimately, band love pa rin. and the music lives oooonn! good luck shirley :)
