01:02.0
And the podcast will begin in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
01:07.0
Ladies and gentlemen, finally at Paco's place, Sponge Colo!
01:14.0
Yael, Armo, Ted, and Gosh.
01:17.0
My God, thank you.
01:18.0
Shout out to Saul also, behind the scenes.
01:21.0
So, congratulations on your tour.
01:24.0
Very nice, thank you.
01:25.0
And thank you for keeping your word
01:27.0
that you'll bring the whole band.
01:31.0
And I am very flattered.
01:34.0
I also want to experience what I experienced.
01:36.0
Okay, so let's start right away.
01:39.0
Aside from you, who's with you when you made Sponge Cola?
01:42.0
Well, it started because me and Gosh are classmates.
01:45.0
So we're high school classmates.
01:47.0
And Gosh, I noticed earlier that you are very quiet
01:51.0
and your friend here is very talkative.
01:54.0
Yes, that's why I got close to him because I have a spokesperson.
01:59.0
Yeah, something like that.
02:00.0
And for me, I have a friend who's just listening.
02:04.0
So this is high school?
02:06.0
Yup, high school, yeah.
02:07.0
Since first year of high school, we're classmates.
02:12.0
Okay, so now, I'll ask Gosh, not you.
02:15.0
Okay, go, go. That makes more sense.
02:17.0
No, that's right.
02:18.0
So who approached you to form a band?
02:28.0
Okay, so Ciel approached you to form a band.
02:31.0
You know, he's the bassist.
02:32.0
He's not a bassist yet.
02:33.0
I'm not a bassist yet.
02:35.0
All of us in the class know how to play the guitar.
02:39.0
So everyone wants to play the guitar,
02:41.0
and nobody wants to play the bass.
02:42.0
Might as well do the bass.
02:47.0
Okay, wait, wait, wait.
02:48.0
So now, Yael approached you.
02:51.0
Gosh, let's form a band.
02:53.0
You, in your head, did you even think it in your head
02:58.0
that we'll become famous, that we'll get to know each other,
03:01.0
or did you just agree with Yael?
03:05.0
We were already close,
03:06.0
and I didn't really have...
03:09.0
Actually, I've never imagined that I would end up as a musician.
03:13.0
Because when I was in high school, I was more into arts.
03:16.0
I was more into drums, math, and...
03:19.0
My strong subjects were Filipino,
03:21.0
and then I was like, okay.
03:23.0
How long have you two been together?
03:26.0
1998, 2008, 2018, 20, oh my God, 25.
03:31.0
Basically, that was Tim Duncan's rookie year.
03:34.0
That's why I remember, because Tim Duncan's rookie year was in 1998, right?
03:37.0
So when Tim Duncan retired, that's how long we've been together.
03:41.0
Because we've been together for a long time.
03:42.0
So let me establish this.
03:43.0
What made you believe in him?
03:45.0
Because at that time, he wasn't playing the bass yet.
03:47.0
He was playing the guitar.
03:49.0
Then we started writing songs together when we didn't have a band yet.
03:52.0
So I always say that we're like Savage Garden,
03:54.0
because it's just the two of us.
03:55.0
But that's the only reason, because it's just the two of us.
03:57.0
Then he started writing songs, and I told him,
04:00.0
can you play the bass?
04:01.0
Because first of all, you look like a bassist.
04:06.0
Your pants should be straight cut,
04:08.0
and your shoulders should be a little square,
04:11.0
so that when you play the bass,
04:12.0
because if you're small,
04:13.0
for example, I'm small.
04:14.0
When I play the bass,
04:15.0
I look like Lord of the Rings.
04:17.0
But if he's tall,
04:18.0
the bass is long,
04:21.0
At the same time,
04:23.0
I told him, don't be afraid, it's just four strings.
04:26.0
You really sold it to him.
04:28.0
In fairness to the bass, it's easy to learn,
04:30.0
because you don't have to play.
04:32.0
I use your whole fingers to play chords,
04:35.0
so that you have one finger per chord.
04:37.0
So when D.I.L. sold you the bass,
04:42.0
did he sell you on the first word,
04:44.0
or did he have to convince you?
04:46.0
About three words, right?
04:47.0
Not the first word.
04:49.0
It's easy to convince.
04:53.0
Before I started banding,
04:55.0
we were org mates in the theater.
04:59.0
If we didn't band,
05:00.0
we would've been theater actors.
05:05.0
What made you stuck through the years?
05:10.0
Don't look at me, coach.
05:11.0
Don't look at me.
05:13.0
What are you doing?
05:14.0
I'm looking at the monitor.
05:16.0
The good thing about our dynamic,
05:18.0
we never overstep our boundaries.
05:20.0
We respect each other's space.
05:29.0
our relationship is healthy,
05:31.0
as bandmates, as friends.
05:34.0
What did your parents say?
05:37.0
That's what I want to know.
05:38.0
I don't know that.
05:39.0
I don't know that.
05:40.0
That's what I want to know.
05:44.0
When I was in high school and college,
05:46.0
they were also surprised.
05:48.0
Scholar, you see?
05:50.0
When I started banding,
05:52.0
I didn't tell them
05:54.0
until they discovered I was there.
05:58.0
So they didn't tell you
05:59.0
because they didn't know.
06:00.0
Until you were on TV.
06:06.0
I just found out now.
06:07.0
Okay, so you two,
06:09.0
you're a duo now.
06:13.0
You're Savage Garden now.
06:17.0
you know, we need to add this band.
06:21.0
We can't just be two.
06:23.0
No, it's like a natural progression
06:25.0
because we don't have a drummer.
06:27.0
We need a drummer.
06:28.0
So it's already Ted, right?
06:29.0
No, it's not Ted yet.
06:30.0
It's not Ted yet.
06:31.0
And our first drummer,
06:32.0
actually, the one who drummed for us
06:35.0
who is now a YouTuber
06:36.0
with 1.6 million subscribers.
06:39.0
It's his birthday.
06:43.0
We're all still good friends.
06:44.0
But before Chris,
06:45.0
we also had a classmate who played drums.
06:48.0
But the problem is,
06:49.0
he's from Paranaque.
06:51.0
So he can't practice with us.
06:53.0
Because you're from QC.
06:54.0
Yeah, it's a long trip for him.
06:58.0
we decided to switch drummers
07:00.0
because he doesn't play anymore.
07:05.0
you joined this session together.
07:08.0
Actually, it was EL.
07:09.0
Yeah, I think I called him.
07:11.0
I'm the bad guy who answered that.
07:12.0
Because he can't come.
07:14.0
And he was busy doing lawyer stuff.
07:17.0
He was going to be a lawyer.
07:19.0
So you know that he won't play anymore.
07:20.0
You know that he won't continue.
07:23.0
But I'll just call him randomly.
07:28.0
This is what's funny.
07:29.0
You said that it's mostly EL.
07:35.0
do you always support his decision
07:37.0
or do you question his decision sometimes?
07:40.0
Mostly, I support his decision.
07:42.0
Because he knows what he wants.
07:47.0
He's a vision kind of guy.
07:53.0
When Gush gets mad at you in the early days,
07:55.0
did I just say early days?
07:57.0
Yeah, early days.
07:58.0
He gets old in the early days.
08:03.0
When Gush gets mad at you,
08:04.0
do you stop and talk to him?
08:06.0
Do you pay attention?
08:08.0
I'll talk to you later?
08:09.0
Actually, I listen to the content.
08:11.0
Even if he says something,
08:14.0
it's okay if he says it.
08:18.0
Am I right, guys?
08:19.0
Feel free to jump in anytime.
08:21.0
They'll talk later.
08:22.0
As for the early days,
08:29.0
They don't know this.
08:30.0
We're always together.
08:34.0
He's not quiet when it's just the two of us.
08:38.0
I look noisy now.
08:39.0
Volume and energy.
08:41.0
But when it's just the two of us,
08:44.0
So, it's like Paco and JJ.
08:46.0
The dynamic is exactly the same.
08:50.0
So, Chris started on YouTube.
08:52.0
So, you have a drummer,
08:55.0
Then he started on YouTube.
08:56.0
Sorry, the YouTube part of Chris
08:57.0
happened around 2012.
08:59.0
He started on YouTube.
09:00.0
But that's not the reason why Chris left.
09:03.0
He left first before he started on YouTube.
09:05.0
So, when Chris left,
09:06.0
was it Ted right away?
09:10.0
Wendel did a session with us first.
09:19.0
That's confusing.
09:20.0
We did a lot of drums.
09:21.0
Jeff can play drums.
09:24.0
But that was just one time in Baguio.
09:27.0
We did a lot of drums for a while.
09:29.0
We were like Jonas Brothers at that time.
09:31.0
The three-piece band without a drummer.
09:33.0
So, we were like,
09:34.0
who did the drums?
09:38.0
Ted also did a session with us.
09:40.0
there were people who were going to join
09:44.0
What were you doing at that time, Ted?
09:49.0
Let Armo join first.
09:51.0
What I was doing at that time,
09:52.0
that was back in...
09:55.0
So, after college.
09:56.0
I also had active bands at that time.
09:59.0
Out of Body Special
10:01.0
and The Happy Meals.
10:04.0
So, I was with Sponge Cola before.
10:08.0
Is Sponge Cola famous?
10:09.0
I heard about it.
10:13.0
Who is this Sponge Cola?
10:15.0
Being the older guy.
10:18.0
I can watch these guys.
10:23.0
the bands I was with,
10:27.0
if you're going to cover a song,
10:29.0
you need to have an amazing bassline.
10:35.0
the first time I saw these guys,
10:38.0
Why are the songs slow and steady?
10:42.0
Don't you have a bass solo part?
10:44.0
Or a guitar solo?
10:46.0
Armo is already there, right?
10:48.0
Armo is already there.
10:49.0
He's looking for solos.
10:51.0
But there's no moment where it's on drums.
10:54.0
We don't have that.
10:55.0
And you're not fighting for volume,
10:58.0
The kids are too steady.
11:01.0
And this was new to you.
11:04.0
but it became interesting to you.
11:06.0
Yeah, it was interesting.
11:07.0
Because at that time,
11:08.0
for your band to be considered
11:13.0
you need to be able to cover
11:15.0
Redefine by Incubus
11:16.0
or any Red Hot Chili Peppers song.
11:18.0
Something like that.
11:20.0
Are these original songs?
11:22.0
I've never seen a band like this before.
11:29.0
I'll leave you there.
11:32.0
How soon after the Sponge
11:34.0
that you joined was formed?
11:38.0
If it's just a timeline,
11:40.0
when was it official?
11:43.0
I think their official start was in 2000.
11:45.0
But they were still Sponge,
11:47.0
So, I reached their original lineup.
11:49.0
Because I also had a band at the time.
11:51.0
Because we were in the same batch.
11:52.0
So, we kind of moved in the same circles.
11:56.0
there were only 5 bands.
11:57.0
So, if there was a battle of the bands,
11:59.0
we'd always see each other.
12:01.0
So, I got to see them.
12:02.0
We were always together.
12:04.0
the summer after graduation of college,
12:06.0
I'm sorry, high school,
12:09.0
that's when we became more of a team.
12:11.0
Because we shared the same manager,
12:13.0
my band at the time.
12:14.0
What was your band at the time?
12:16.0
my band at the time.
12:18.0
he'd book us in the same show.
12:20.0
So, we were always together.
12:21.0
And that's when I became close to them.
12:23.0
Okay, it's like a relationship.
12:26.0
who would move from one place to another.
12:29.0
It started in proximity.
12:31.0
Anyway, this is a Valentine's episode.
12:34.0
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.
12:38.0
how did you get attracted?
12:40.0
It became a third party.
12:44.0
I was already hooked.
12:46.0
someone showed up.
12:47.0
Actually, what happened there,
12:48.0
I should've answered.
12:50.0
Did you court Orm?
12:51.0
No, what happened to us,
12:53.0
we had a graduation.
12:54.0
I mean, we graduated from high school.
12:57.0
And then, we had a gig.
12:58.0
We were asked if we wanted to play
13:00.0
in Southern Bulls.
13:04.0
Literal after graduation.
13:06.0
So, we had a lock set.
13:07.0
We were even dressed up.
13:08.0
Where did I follow you?
13:10.0
We were wearing long sleeves
13:13.0
Because that's what you wear under your bra, right?
13:16.0
So, we went straight to the graduation.
13:18.0
And then, my brother joined us
13:20.0
And then, I remember he had a notebook.
13:22.0
I think it was a cover.
13:23.0
It was a spiral notebook
13:24.0
that Romnick Cermenta was covering.
13:26.0
It wasn't Donna Cruz.
13:31.0
Happy birthday, Ate Donna.
13:32.0
So, we had a notebook that Romnick Cermenta was covering.
13:35.0
And then, he was just taking notes
13:36.0
the whole time we were playing.
13:37.0
Because there were no other people in the audience.
13:40.0
The only people who were watching
13:42.0
and other bands who were also playing.
13:45.0
there were about six or seven bands.
13:47.0
We were playing late.
13:48.0
I think it was around 1 AM.
13:49.0
But, during our set,
13:50.0
my brother was just writing notes.
13:52.0
And then, when we got home,
13:54.0
we all went home.
13:56.0
when we got to our living room,
13:57.0
he put the notebook on the table.
14:00.0
that's all you need to do
14:01.0
to make your band happy.
14:02.0
He asked you that?
14:05.0
one of the things he said was,
14:06.0
change your guitarist
14:07.0
and get the guitarist of Ramp Queen.
14:09.0
He really said that?
14:11.0
And being a guitar player himself?
14:14.0
Did you tell that story to Armo?
14:16.0
You didn't know that?
14:17.0
He found out later on.
14:18.0
But not right then and there.
14:19.0
So, how did you feel
14:20.0
when you found out that
14:21.0
he had a bass player?
14:25.0
Yanni is a respected figure.
14:28.0
Even when we were in high school,
14:29.0
we already knew Yanni as a senior.
14:33.0
Like a senior theater guy.
14:34.0
So, he already had that presence.
14:37.0
And then, all throughout,
14:39.0
I already knew Yanni
14:40.0
as a mentor figure.
14:41.0
So, when Yanni told you
14:42.0
to put in the notebook
14:43.0
that Romnick Sarmienta is there
14:49.0
Well, first of all,
14:50.0
just a disclaimer.
14:53.0
our guitarist at that time
14:55.0
wasn't really committed to the band.
14:57.0
He wasn't really into it.
14:58.0
And when he was playing guitar solo,
15:00.0
he would break the amp
15:01.0
even though it was in good condition.
15:03.0
Because we were young.
15:04.0
We were in fourth-year high school.
15:05.0
He could see that
15:06.0
I was going to really get into it.
15:09.0
I was already focused at that point.
15:12.0
And then, you know what?
15:13.0
If they want to watch your origin story
15:15.0
you should tell them
15:16.0
how Yanni influenced your career.
15:20.0
So, that's how it happened.
15:22.0
When he said that,
15:24.0
it all made sense.
15:25.0
Because I also know that
15:27.0
Armo is also the type of person
15:28.0
who is committed to his craft.
15:30.0
There's something like that.
15:31.0
You need to find...
15:32.0
But there's a rap queen.
15:34.0
But it can coexist.
15:37.0
It's like a relationship.
15:40.0
It's polyamorous.
15:42.0
In musical terms.
15:45.0
I'll be the one to adjust.
15:47.0
And I'm the same manager.
15:49.0
Our managers are the same.
15:51.0
I just really wanted to play.
15:52.0
Did you approach your manager
15:53.0
or did you approach Armo directly?
15:55.0
I think we also told...
15:57.0
I think the manager was there
15:58.0
when he said that.
15:59.0
The notebook thing.
16:01.0
Because all the people
16:03.0
were sleeping at my house.
16:05.0
we had a slumber party.
16:07.0
after high school,
16:08.0
right before college,
16:09.0
she knew that we didn't do anything.
16:12.0
And that's like...
16:13.0
If you really want to be serious in a band,
16:15.0
this is the time.
16:17.0
Because you have nothing else to do.
16:18.0
All you have to do is
16:23.0
But also having fun.
16:25.0
You broke it to him.
16:27.0
What was your reaction?
16:28.0
Actually, Chris invited me.
16:30.0
Chris, the drummer.
16:33.0
I didn't know that.
16:36.0
Wanna be part of our band?
16:39.0
Because I just wanted to play.
16:40.0
It's like Baradkov.
16:43.0
I didn't hesitate.
16:44.0
It was more of a...
16:48.0
I really learn a lot
16:50.0
if I'm playing with different musicians
16:52.0
and different genres.
16:53.0
So I really enjoy different styles.
16:54.0
So what was it like
16:57.0
having him as a frontman?
17:11.0
your confidence is a big factor
17:14.0
Because sometimes,
17:15.0
there are gigs that I don't like
17:17.0
because I don't know if these people will like me
17:19.0
or I don't know if this is our crowd
17:23.0
when you see him do his thing,
17:25.0
you become more confident
17:27.0
in performing also.
17:29.0
Because you feel like the room is heating up.
17:31.0
You feel like you're enjoying it.
17:33.0
It's real to charm people.
17:35.0
You know what I remember,
17:37.0
I remember Don and Zell.
17:40.0
Because the story of Zell and Don
17:42.0
in December of DECAV is
17:45.0
Don believed in Zell
17:47.0
before other people
17:52.0
it's like you can see Zell in front of you
17:55.0
When you see the two of you,
17:57.0
Armo is here as well.
18:01.0
one of them, right?
18:03.0
And the trademark of UZON,
18:05.0
they're good at pep-talk.
18:07.0
So, if you ever feel
18:08.0
that you're not enough
18:11.0
you're lacking as a player,
18:14.0
Without bullshitting you.
18:15.0
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:19.0
we were with someone
18:20.0
who was afraid to drive in the U.S.
18:22.0
why are you afraid to drive in the U.S.?
18:25.0
there are a lot of people here
18:27.0
and you're afraid to drive.
18:28.0
All the cars there have brakes.
18:29.0
No one wants to bump into you.
18:30.0
It's just your imagination.
18:31.0
Don't be afraid of that.
18:33.0
Or if you get confused on the road,
18:34.0
you can slow down.
18:35.0
They'll get mad behind you.
18:37.0
if you slow down a little.
18:38.0
They won't catch you.
18:41.0
there's no camera here
18:42.0
because it's 99, anyway, 99.
18:44.0
But it's fun to drive, right?
18:45.0
It's fun to drive.
18:48.0
that's not what I said.
18:49.0
That's not what I said
18:50.0
because we usually go on road trips here.
18:52.0
Oh, you two and Ted?
18:58.0
I have a lot of versions of that pep talk.
19:03.0
and then you saw that
19:05.0
when did you become Sponge Cola?
19:07.0
And when did you really join in full time?
19:09.0
I think it became Sponge Cola
19:12.0
That's when they got the name.
19:14.0
It was a very random episode.
19:18.0
That's a new name.
19:19.0
Oh, there's Sponge Cola now.
19:20.0
Why did you change it?
19:21.0
Why did you change it?
19:22.0
Because it was just Sponge from the start.
19:23.0
Then my brother said,
19:24.0
there's a Sponge band now.
19:25.0
It'll be hard for you
19:26.0
to search on the internet
19:28.0
it was Yahoo at the time.
19:32.0
the Battle of the Bands twice.
19:35.0
attention you got from that.
19:37.0
So you won't be confused,
19:39.0
just add another word.
19:40.0
So it became Cola,
19:43.0
going back to you, Armol,
19:44.0
when did you meet yourself 100%?
19:48.0
But you're still Ram Queen, right?
19:50.0
At the time, yeah.
19:52.0
you're still Polyamorous.
19:54.0
I was pulling double guitar duties
19:57.0
This episode is brought to you by
19:59.0
Leo Bato and Associates,
20:01.0
the realtor of Patok.
20:03.0
Middle of college, actually,
20:05.0
right before college.
20:06.0
Because what happened was,
20:08.0
if I would have it any other way,
20:10.0
you can continue both,
20:12.0
but what happened was,
20:15.0
with the other group,
20:20.0
people just kind of moved on.
20:23.0
Well, didn't they think,
20:25.0
Armol and I are no longer
20:27.0
part of Sponge Cola?
20:30.0
that's what they thought.
20:33.0
Even though I shouldn't be
20:35.0
I think what happened was,
20:37.0
they split up at the same time.
20:39.0
There's another member
20:41.0
who's still here.
20:42.0
Sol is the lead singer
20:45.0
Sol, is that true?
20:47.0
But he always denies it,
20:50.0
so I can't bring it up.
20:53.0
But I don't think it was that.
20:54.0
I think it was this.
20:55.0
We had gigs before
20:57.0
where I couldn't make it
20:58.0
because of Sponge.
21:00.0
that's what happened.
21:02.0
Ram Queen has gigs
21:04.0
that you can't make it to.
21:06.0
That's what happens
21:10.0
I'm the guitarist.
21:12.0
there's a choice of priority
21:13.0
in terms of call times.
21:16.0
the gigs that you can't make it to,
21:17.0
Sol is the singer?
21:20.0
how do you feel about that?
21:22.0
It is what it is.
21:24.0
Okay, it is what it is.
21:25.0
Yeah, there's a lot of stories.
21:26.0
But Ram Queen has two guitar setups,
21:28.0
so if I'm not there,
21:34.0
And they're progs.
21:36.0
with a lot of harmonies.
21:37.0
So, they need a guitar one,
21:38.0
a guitar two thing.
21:40.0
So, this is funny.
21:44.0
This guy is in the incubus,
21:46.0
he's hip-hopping.
21:47.0
He's probably led-zipping.
21:49.0
This guy is progging.
21:54.0
is easy listening.
21:58.0
You made a big pep talk.
22:02.0
How did this happen?
22:03.0
How did that happen?
22:04.0
Yeah, he's hip-hopping.
22:05.0
How did that happen?
22:06.0
The other one is prog.
22:08.0
But we're all open-minded
22:09.0
in being like that.
22:10.0
He's an open-minded prog.
22:11.0
We're not copying ourselves
22:15.0
is very easy to digest,
22:18.0
which is very good.
22:21.0
I just want to be inspired,
22:22.0
I'll just play a playlist of you.
22:25.0
I'm just working here.
22:26.0
I'm just like that, right?
22:27.0
It doesn't irritate my brain,
22:30.0
Yeah, because you don't need
22:31.0
to compute that drop.
22:34.0
Something like that.
22:36.0
you knew what you were
22:37.0
getting yourself into
22:38.0
and you actually invested
22:39.0
your talent and your time
22:41.0
and the music speaks for itself.
22:43.0
What was going through your head
22:50.0
Because you had to do
22:51.0
a lot of wood-shedding.
22:53.0
And now you're doing
22:55.0
Actually, to be honest,
22:57.0
when I first watched it,
23:00.0
I hadn't thought about it.
23:02.0
this is a good guitarist.
23:05.0
I didn't know that part.
23:08.0
I never said this out loud.
23:10.0
Nice, this is a first.
23:11.0
Because I would jam with them,
23:12.0
I was invited out to jam
23:15.0
I think the first time
23:17.0
Blurry, all over.
23:18.0
We were jamming in Malate.
23:21.0
That's why Chrissy
23:23.0
It wasn't random.
23:26.0
And whenever I'd watch them,
23:28.0
this is a good band.
23:29.0
This is a good guitarist.
23:31.0
What did you say?
23:32.0
Do you have a similar reaction?
23:35.0
This is a good band.
23:36.0
Actually, I know what he said, Ted.
23:40.0
he was already sessioning with us
23:41.0
before the first album stuff.
23:43.0
The second album,
23:44.0
when we were already doing it,
23:45.0
I remember he came to the studio,
23:46.0
because he's a drummer,
23:48.0
your second album was amazing.
23:51.0
Your music evolved.
23:55.0
you could jam with Sponge
23:56.0
in the first verse
23:57.0
and in the second verse,
23:59.0
The songwriting of the second album,
24:00.0
why did you suddenly
24:01.0
change the story of the album?
24:03.0
I already released my notebook.
24:06.0
Because you're transcribing.
24:08.0
You can go through it
24:09.0
even if you don't know the song.
24:11.0
I need to release the notebook.
24:14.0
the pattern is different from verse 2.
24:16.0
There's a bridge.
24:17.0
There's a bridge,
24:19.0
and there's a half-time.
24:20.0
But let's go back to
24:22.0
when you watched them,
24:23.0
you became curious.
24:24.0
Why isn't there a bass solo?
24:25.0
Why isn't there a bass solo?
24:26.0
Didn't you say what Armo said?
24:28.0
You know I'm a drummer.
24:30.0
I didn't say that.
24:34.0
What did you say?
24:36.0
It's not like me.
24:39.0
It's just more of...
24:41.0
Armo's performance
24:42.0
when he was jamming,
24:44.0
We were watching it
24:45.0
while we were having pizza.
24:47.0
look at our guitarist.
24:49.0
It makes perfect sense.
24:52.0
It's not some guy
24:53.0
who's always just
24:54.0
jamming his guitar.
24:55.0
That's what Chris said.
24:57.0
It's a long time ago.
24:58.0
It's like 20 years ago.
24:59.0
I know what I was thinking.
25:00.0
The first time I watched
25:01.0
Spongeboy at a cafe.
25:06.0
they watched my band earlier
25:08.0
So I saw their skills.
25:12.0
We've been confident
25:13.0
with Ted ever since.
25:15.0
Then we all became friends.
25:17.0
It was in college, right?
25:20.0
fast forward to 2008,
25:27.0
sessioning with Wendel.
25:29.0
When you left your session,
25:32.0
and you still have a lot of bands here,
25:36.0
did you feel like
25:38.0
I would be the one
25:40.0
to be a permanent member here?
25:43.0
since we're all opening up,
25:45.0
I don't even know the answer to this.
25:47.0
So my story with them
25:50.0
sessioning, right?
25:53.0
when I got the call from Yael,
25:57.0
if I'm game to be the official drummer
26:01.0
So, of course, I kept it cool.
26:05.0
That sounds good. Thanks, thanks.
26:06.0
I kept it cool, of course.
26:08.0
But deep down inside,
26:10.0
I was gunning for that position.
26:13.0
You made a good choice.
26:15.0
So I asked Wendel.
26:19.0
I hope he's good at it.
26:23.0
So, yeah, that's the story.
26:25.0
So if you're going to sign up,
26:26.0
if you click on the end.
26:28.0
There, I clicked on it
26:29.0
because I was applying as a copywriter
26:32.0
for an advertising agency.
26:37.0
I passed the first interview,
26:40.0
so it was the second interview.
26:42.0
And then that happened.
26:45.0
It's like Mike Elgar's story.
26:49.0
He's an ABS-CBN ASAP writer.
26:52.0
And then finally,
26:53.0
when he was about to launch with Rivermaya,
26:55.0
the ASAP cast was surprised.
26:59.0
Oh, my God, you're our writer now.
27:02.0
You're the star here.
27:04.0
So you applied again.
27:09.0
But who did you tell first?
27:13.0
the vocalist of Happy Meals.
27:15.0
I was in the same band.
27:17.0
What was the conversation like?
27:18.0
Because it was a bye-bye, right?
27:20.0
I think they kind of got used to it,
27:23.0
because the sessioning was getting more frequent.
27:25.0
And my other band,
27:26.0
Out of Body Special,
27:28.0
was the same manager of Sponge at that time.
27:30.0
So the scheduling was kind of easy
27:34.0
because if I couldn't do it,
27:36.0
in Out of Body Special,
27:40.0
I had to play Sponge.
27:41.0
So it was easier.
27:42.0
At the same time,
27:43.0
it was difficult because he was the same manager.
27:46.0
So how were you going to balance it?
27:48.0
Similar case with RMWay and Ramp Week.
27:50.0
It's still the same guy.
27:52.0
He was the same manager.
27:53.0
That's all under one umbrella.
27:56.0
because as the manager,
27:59.0
you have to trust all the personnel
28:03.0
And you, as a manager,
28:04.0
you're trying to put the pieces together
28:07.0
to create the best unit possible.
28:09.0
Because at the end of the day,
28:11.0
it's all a meal ticket.
28:15.0
Since we're here on Valentine's Day,
28:19.0
you two are not together
28:20.0
because you have a perfect relationship.
28:22.0
You've been together for a long time.
28:23.0
Why are you two together?
28:24.0
How did you find out that
28:26.0
it's not you, it's me?
28:32.0
Because you're not like that.
28:33.0
This is your first band.
28:34.0
This is your first band.
28:36.0
They had relationships before.
28:40.0
You two were in a relationship.
28:44.0
I didn't hear anything negative
28:46.0
from their bands.
28:47.0
But maybe they're just nice.
28:49.0
That's what they're telling me.
28:50.0
That's what they're telling me.
28:52.0
You're pep-talking them, right?
28:54.0
You're not in our difficult conversations.
28:57.0
Let's just listen to those three.
29:00.0
Why didn't anyone reach me?
29:01.0
You two are normal.
29:05.0
I think the same school is a big factor.
29:07.0
Yes, we're all from the same school.
29:08.0
We all know each other.
29:10.0
Maybe if you're in a different school
29:12.0
and you don't know the other members
29:14.0
of the other band,
29:15.0
maybe that's where you'll find out.
29:17.0
Because we're all friends.
29:19.0
And everybody was happy for everybody.
29:21.0
Yes, that's true.
29:22.0
So for all of you,
29:23.0
Ram Queen, Happy Meals,
29:27.0
who's the only one who's alive
29:31.0
The Out of Body Special
29:33.0
is alive if their singer is in the Philippines.
29:36.0
It's the same with Happy Meals.
29:38.0
There's one in Australia,
29:39.0
then there's one in Hong Kong
29:41.0
for the other band.
29:42.0
So whenever they're in town,
29:44.0
we have a thread.
29:46.0
One gig, one gig.
29:48.0
Sometimes it continues,
29:49.0
sometimes it doesn't.
29:50.0
You also have a different band.
29:52.0
Yes, I have another active band.
29:55.0
Conscious and the Goodness.
29:57.0
The music is different.
29:58.0
It's more of the soulful hip-hop,
30:01.0
neo-soul type of music.
30:03.0
So it's different.
30:05.0
It's just flavor.
30:06.0
So this Sponge Cola,
30:08.0
is this your bread and butter,
30:11.0
More or less, yes.
30:15.0
Bread and butter means
30:16.0
it's a money thing, right?
30:18.0
It's more of a...
30:19.0
Yes, but you don't have a day job.
30:22.0
But I just refer to it as a...
30:23.0
For me, it's like a focus.
30:24.0
The focus of the effort,
30:27.0
it all goes into the band.
30:29.0
Because what we learned along the way
30:31.0
is that the music is bigger
30:33.0
than all of us individually.
30:35.0
And that's why when we play in the band,
30:38.0
we've always served the music,
30:40.0
So that's why we don't
30:42.0
manipulate the music for our own good.
30:45.0
Because we serve what's beyond us.
30:48.0
Something like that.
30:51.0
with my previous band,
30:52.0
it was more of a,
30:53.0
could you be the one to break it up
30:55.0
so I won't have to make excuses
30:59.0
Because if I can do it,
31:01.0
I'll do the same.
31:03.0
everybody kind of moved on.
31:05.0
They had their own things.
31:07.0
It's like a relationship.
31:09.0
And Spongebob became its own entity.
31:13.0
And when the gravity of a thing is heavy,
31:15.0
a lot of people will ask you.
31:17.0
And it's a constant thing,
31:18.0
constant question of,
31:20.0
are you still up for this?
31:22.0
Because it's not always easy.
31:24.0
And in the parts where it's not easy,
31:26.0
that's when you'll know
31:27.0
if you really want to do it or not.
31:29.0
And for me, it's always a yes.
31:31.0
Do you share the sentiment?
31:34.0
I have a different song in mind
31:39.0
Sana Dalawang Puso Ko,
31:41.0
was one of my hits.
31:43.0
At that time, right?
31:44.0
Because it's like...
31:46.0
Sometimes, it's a threesome.
31:47.0
Yeah, sometimes it's a threesome.
31:49.0
So that was for Valentine's Day.
31:56.0
So now, EIL, over the years,
31:58.0
you've seen each of you evolve.
32:00.0
You're not doing anything else
32:01.0
except Sponge, right?
32:02.0
Or are you into other endeavors?
32:06.0
We'll find out later.
32:09.0
there are two bands.
32:11.0
Gosh is suddenly on Broadway.
32:15.0
did you even think
32:17.0
that you'd reach this far?
32:21.0
Actually, I believe in EIL.
32:24.0
actually, I believe in EIL.
32:31.0
That's what I said last time.
32:33.0
It's like I had to bet on myself early.
32:35.0
Because that's how things start.
32:37.0
You can't just say,
32:38.0
what's your plan?
32:39.0
I'll win the second round.
32:41.0
All in until I become a champion.
32:44.0
Let's talk about your pressure.
32:45.0
Because these people believe in you.
32:47.0
Actually, not just them.
32:48.0
Even your fans believe in you.
32:50.0
Your wife believes in you.
32:51.0
Everybody believes in you, right?
32:56.0
But let's talk about this.
32:57.0
But since we're all here,
32:59.0
what's the pressure that you bring here?
33:02.0
how do you put your mindset into the moment?
33:08.0
I know we've had this conversation offline,
33:11.0
Going into the tourist estates,
33:13.0
your expectations,
33:14.0
the reality and all that.
33:16.0
But you told Armon,
33:19.0
he's grateful that you're there.
33:20.0
Because he knows that
33:21.0
you're a solid vocalist.
33:24.0
He'll bring you here.
33:30.0
When she said that to Superboy.
33:33.0
That's the quote.
33:36.0
I'll just go back to it.
33:37.0
The confidence that I have,
33:38.0
it's because I'm surrounded by a team
33:40.0
that's this strong.
33:42.0
Of people who leave their egos out the door.
33:46.0
Who are willing to commit to the task at hand
33:49.0
and not have to be seen as the best,
33:52.0
flashiest drummer of all time.
33:54.0
Or be the fastest shredder in the world.
33:56.0
Like Sloppy the Bassman.
33:58.0
None of us are like that.
34:00.0
We're all just servicing the task at hand.
34:02.0
Make the right song.
34:03.0
I make the best song you can.
34:05.0
With the words you have
34:06.0
and the melodies you have.
34:10.0
that's why I'm confident.
34:11.0
Because they're not...
34:15.0
we all make mistakes from time to time.
34:16.0
But even those mistakes,
34:17.0
they're just there to make the steak taste good.
34:24.0
The pressure, actually,
34:25.0
it's a circular dynamic
34:27.0
that's kind of...
34:30.0
The pressure dissipates
34:32.0
and it goes back and forth.
34:34.0
So, it's a cycle.
34:36.0
It's a perfect team dynamic.
34:39.0
This is what it feels like to be...
34:42.0
how you do anything is how you do everything.
34:45.0
How you do anything is how you do everything.
34:47.0
people who are intense
34:49.0
and a little bit of a fighter,
34:50.0
they usually have a favorite color.
34:52.0
There are profiles.
34:56.0
I know this is corny for people
34:59.0
who don't play basketball,
35:00.0
but as a team first,
35:02.0
past first guard in basketball,
35:05.0
I'm a huge fan of the San Antonio Spurs.
35:08.0
That's what I think.
35:09.0
I know there's a Tim Duncan in the San Antonio Spurs,
35:11.0
but Tim Duncan works because
35:13.0
they drafted a bunch of second rounders
35:15.0
that no one believed in
35:17.0
but somehow made their way to the Hall of Fame.
35:20.0
That's why they're in the Hall of Fame
35:21.0
because they're all teaming up.
35:23.0
No one can do this.
35:26.0
That's how I became a fan of the Spurs.
35:29.0
I applied it to everything in my life.
35:31.0
That's why I became a fan of the Spurs.
35:33.0
I was drawn to that kind of teams.
35:37.0
That kind of style.
35:40.0
It just created a cycle.
35:42.0
It's a whirlwind of that kind of energy
35:44.0
that we support each other,
35:47.0
we support all the members.
35:49.0
If it's a guitar solo,
35:50.0
the focal point will be the guitar first.
35:52.0
Armo does a solo.
35:54.0
But his solo also serves the melody of the song.
35:58.0
Like what he said a while ago.
35:59.0
If it's possible or not,
36:01.0
sometimes it's necessary.
36:03.0
You need a transition to the melody
36:06.0
but it's still derived from the main line.
36:09.0
That's usually the guitar solo.
36:11.0
We're going to do that too.
36:14.0
Ted did something in one of our songs
36:17.0
that's very, dare I say,
36:22.0
I've been waiting for you for a long time.
36:23.0
Even though the kick and snare are simple,
36:25.0
he did the quiet part.
36:28.0
I can't think of doing that
36:31.0
I'm not good at drumming
36:32.0
but as someone who knows how to drum,
36:34.0
I can't think of that.
36:36.0
it had a nice effect.
36:37.0
What I'm trying to say is...
36:41.0
Maybe that's why Ringo Starr is my idol.
36:46.0
Not a lot of people see the greatness.
36:53.0
the song that came together.
36:55.0
If you were to play drums on that track,
36:58.0
what would you do?
36:59.0
And then listen to what Ringo Starr did.
37:02.0
So, what did you think of at that time?
37:05.0
His out-of-the-box thinking is different.
37:07.0
From the hi-hat to the toms.
37:09.0
And then the lefty.
37:11.0
So, the accenting is different.
37:15.0
since I'm a hip-hop head,
37:17.0
instead of putting a fill,
37:19.0
sometimes there's a silence.
37:21.0
The breaks are like,
37:24.0
So, it's a different way of thinking
37:26.0
that somehow works.
37:28.0
We were talking about Ted earlier.
37:32.0
You were really locked onto the click.
37:36.0
Another thing also,
37:38.0
every breath you take,
37:40.0
but I felt your swing.
37:42.0
Ah, you felt the swing.
37:44.0
Ah, maybe that's why.
37:46.0
Because it's jazz.
37:47.0
Because even if it's like,
37:51.0
It's not just eights.
37:54.0
because Ted, as a person,
37:56.0
he also plays drums like that.
37:57.0
Because he's also very level-headed.
38:00.0
So, even if the moment is exciting,
38:02.0
it's still there.
38:03.0
It's still steady.
38:05.0
his drums are not excited
38:06.0
when it's chorus or bridge.
38:07.0
Sometimes, when we're on stage,
38:09.0
when I give you the look,
38:11.0
keep it cool, keep it cool.
38:13.0
Because when you feel excited,
38:15.0
everything's so fast.
38:17.0
Let's go back a bit.
38:19.0
And then, when I was courting my wife,
38:21.0
when she saw how intense I was dancing
38:23.0
in the bar where she owns,
38:26.0
Relax, you're too eager beaver.
38:29.0
She made a face that was like,
38:32.0
It seemed like she was trying to impress me.
38:35.0
Come here for a second.
38:37.0
Then, she gave me a bottle of beer.
38:41.0
So, this is the Kuya Moment.
38:43.0
Can we use this first for props?
38:45.0
She gave me a bottle of beer.
38:47.0
She said, hold this.
38:48.0
Now, dance and be in this area.
38:50.0
So, just like that.
38:53.0
Now, when you make eye contact with a guy,
38:55.0
look at him for a second
38:56.0
and hold your beer.
38:58.0
No, no, no. No lingering.
39:03.0
If you look at him for too long,
39:06.0
So, stop looking at people
39:07.0
when you're dancing.
39:09.0
She gave me tips like that.
39:14.0
This episode is brought to you by
39:16.0
Dr. Lourdes Capulong.
39:19.0
what's your relationship?
39:22.0
since we're drum and bass,
39:25.0
we usually look at each other.
39:28.0
Actually, I never expected
39:30.0
that we have a common music
39:32.0
and we listen together.
39:36.0
We started with Cardigans.
39:39.0
Which is okay, right?
39:41.0
We were surprised.
39:42.0
We were surprised.
39:43.0
We were listening to Cardigans.
39:45.0
The Cardigans' B-side is funny.
39:49.0
Actually, when we're together
39:53.0
the iPod is playing, right?
39:55.0
And it's shuffling.
39:56.0
I don't know a lot of things,
39:57.0
but when I know something,
40:00.0
This is Cardigans, right?
40:05.0
Cardigans is okay for me.
40:06.0
Actually, there's one thing
40:07.0
that I like about our band.
40:08.0
We listen to different things each one.
40:11.0
So we don't get bored together
40:13.0
because there's always an input
40:14.0
from different spectrum of music.
40:17.0
Like Armo is always heavy, metal,
40:20.0
He's into hip-hop.
40:21.0
That's Armo's morning music, right?
40:23.0
He's into obscure metal
40:26.0
My roommate is Josh.
40:28.0
So sometimes I'll troll him.
40:31.0
We get ready before a gig.
40:32.0
I'll play the loudest
40:34.0
and most offensive noise
40:37.0
just to make him look bright.
40:38.0
Or in the morning,
40:39.0
just to make him look bright.
40:41.0
That's how I mess with him sometimes.
40:45.0
you two consciously lock on.
40:49.0
Who locks in, too?
40:50.0
I try to follow Ted.
40:52.0
I'm the one who struggles.
40:56.0
Sometimes, Ted is not...
41:01.0
He knows the orthodox patterns.
41:05.0
because I practice with him.
41:07.0
That's why it's different.
41:10.0
What's your story there?
41:13.0
I also challenge myself
41:17.0
This is your back, right?
41:18.0
I didn't know that.
41:20.0
There's an action in the back.
41:22.0
If the equipment is good,
41:24.0
and we can hear ourselves,
41:27.0
it feels good, right?
41:29.0
If it feels good,
41:30.0
I tend to experiment
41:33.0
with the small fills.
41:39.0
He's not that wild.
41:40.0
I'm the one who gives in.
41:42.0
You're mindful of everything.
41:44.0
I'm the one who gives in.
41:49.0
What's your relationship with them?
41:53.0
Sometimes, we always...
41:56.0
but we have a set list.
41:58.0
These are classic songs
42:00.0
that we've been doing so many times.
42:04.0
you want to find something interesting
42:06.0
to do, something new.
42:07.0
There's always something
42:12.0
In our San Diego gig last week,
42:16.0
in the first song.
42:20.0
You're used to it.
42:21.0
But it's great that you notice
42:22.0
that it's new to you.
42:23.0
Yeah, the crowd doesn't notice it.
42:26.0
when someone turns around,
42:29.0
When someone looks back,
42:30.0
it's usually like that.
42:32.0
When someone looks back,
42:33.0
it's either someone made a mistake
42:34.0
or you did something really good.
42:36.0
When someone makes a mistake,
42:40.0
When someone makes a mistake,
42:44.0
Avoid eye contact.
42:49.0
it's great that you don't need
42:52.0
You just want to look back
42:53.0
to say hi, right?
42:56.0
guys, what's going on?
42:57.0
There are two of those.
42:58.0
How about the three of you?
43:00.0
You can see that Cael
43:02.0
is in control of the audience.
43:04.0
When I say in control,
43:06.0
he is so confident
43:07.0
with the three of you.
43:08.0
He's so confident
43:10.0
with the three of you.
43:11.0
He doesn't need to understand you anymore.
43:13.0
He can focus on entertaining
43:17.0
having a vocalist like him?
43:19.0
Having a frontman, actually.
43:21.0
I'm really thankful
43:22.0
that he's my frontman.
43:25.0
He's very liberating.
43:27.0
You don't really have to worry
43:29.0
about anything else
43:30.0
but playing the best
43:32.0
It actually brings out
43:35.0
Because you understand
43:41.0
Cael always has jokes
43:45.0
You know the punchline?
43:47.0
It changes every now and then.
43:51.0
the mic is here, right?
43:54.0
Yeob will hear it
43:55.0
and he'll be like,
43:56.0
I think I'll sell it to Ted.
43:58.0
If he has a new spiel,
44:03.0
That's an inspired moment.
44:06.0
I'm always nervous
44:08.0
Because I know that
44:11.0
will be offended by anything.
44:12.0
And if you have a tendency
44:13.0
to joke like that,
44:15.0
you might get offended.
44:16.0
So I'm very careful
44:18.0
You don't want to be offended.
44:20.0
But since we're in the US,
44:22.0
and on this US tour,
44:24.0
I feel like people
44:26.0
with more offensive jokes.
44:27.0
So I try to raise it a bit.
44:29.0
But even when I do that,
44:34.0
I'm trying to tiptoe
44:35.0
but I still can't.
44:37.0
I still have to say
44:43.0
what do you mean, you?
44:46.0
There are moments
44:47.0
where, for example,
44:48.0
he'll get carried away
44:49.0
with what he's saying.
44:50.0
He'll get monologued.
44:51.0
So we've been doing
44:52.0
the intro for a long time
44:53.0
and he's like, let's go.
44:55.0
The loop is getting longer.
44:57.0
Have you ever had a cringe
44:58.0
where someone called you out?
45:00.0
No, a lot of times.
45:01.0
I feel like a lot of times,
45:02.0
but nothing comes to mind.
45:04.0
The atmosphere is happy,
45:06.0
and you have a story,
45:08.0
and your story is like,
45:09.0
involving someone who died.
45:12.0
So why would you tell
45:13.0
a story in front of a lot of people
45:15.0
about someone who died?
45:17.0
Like, in passing.
45:18.0
My dad always tells stories like that.
45:20.0
He'll tell a story
45:21.0
that you thought was a joke.
45:22.0
The ending is that the person died.
45:24.0
And it's like, oh wow.
45:25.0
That went south so fast.
45:27.0
Have you told the story
45:28.0
of the pink table on stage?
45:30.0
Do you know the story
45:31.0
of the pink table?
45:33.0
But you haven't told it yet.
45:35.0
the story of the pink table?
45:36.0
That's the good thing.
45:38.0
about the engagement
45:40.0
The audience might get mad.
45:42.0
You know what my experiment is?
45:43.0
I'll try it in Vegas.
45:44.0
We'll be in Vegas on Friday.
45:46.0
Maybe the Vegas crowd game
45:47.0
in the pink table.
45:48.0
Because there are a lot
45:52.0
It's always a challenge
45:55.0
Because the ending
45:56.0
without spoiling it.
46:00.0
so you'll have to tell me
46:04.0
You'll tell me later.
46:07.0
We have Vegas on Friday
46:08.0
and San Francisco on Saturday.
46:10.0
How many shows total?
46:12.0
but it became 10.
46:15.0
It's good that it increased.
46:17.0
you came from Canada.
46:20.0
we came from Canada.
46:21.0
And you went to the Philippines.
46:24.0
And we had a major concert
46:25.0
in the middle of that.
46:27.0
So we were like robots
46:28.0
by the time it was mid-December.
46:29.0
It was exhausting.
46:31.0
you just got home
46:32.0
from jet lag and rehearsals.
46:34.0
when it's a major concert,
46:35.0
you have to change
46:36.0
what you're going to do.
46:38.0
And what we did was,
46:39.0
we kind of did a play
46:40.0
that was kind of a concert.
46:42.0
We kind of reenacted
46:45.0
we showed the first song
46:46.0
that I wrote first,
46:47.0
which was just me.
46:51.0
there was no drummer.
46:54.0
our drummer, Chris,
46:57.0
he did the drums first.
47:03.0
But he came from the audience.
47:05.0
can I play drums?
47:06.0
Let's go back to Valentine's.
47:08.0
So how did your ex feel?
47:12.0
or your ex-girlfriend?
47:16.0
It's kind of a relationship.
47:18.0
we're on a road trip
47:19.0
with his ex-girlfriend.
47:24.0
I'm just clarifying.
47:26.0
This is my favorite story.
47:28.0
We went to Vegas.
47:29.0
Ted's girlfriend and I.
47:31.0
Michael Abad asked you
47:32.0
if we can't talk.
47:33.0
I'm not saying anything.
47:40.0
the good thing about this story
47:41.0
is that we're in Vegas
47:42.0
and we just parked
47:43.0
in the parking lot
47:44.0
of the big parking lot
47:45.0
of Planet Hollywood.
47:46.0
The shared parking lot
47:47.0
of I think Bollies.
47:51.0
That huge parking lot
47:54.0
and we walked to the elevator.
47:55.0
The big elevator on the side.
47:56.0
I think we still have luggage.
47:58.0
We still have luggage.
47:59.0
We still have luggage.
48:01.0
four or five teenage boys
48:09.0
And when we entered
48:12.0
for about two seconds.
48:16.0
started fighting.
48:19.0
just said something.
48:23.0
It was super quiet
48:26.0
was looking down.
48:31.0
and his shoes were like this.
48:37.0
I just looked down.
48:38.0
So when we went out,
48:39.0
all of those kids
48:40.0
when we opened the door,
48:42.0
were looking down.
48:44.0
students being scolded
48:47.0
wow, they really fought.
48:55.0
It seemed like it was going well.
49:00.0
Okay, continue the story.
49:04.0
We were separated
49:05.0
and we were quiet.
49:06.0
I was at the casino.
49:09.0
His girlfriend was doing something.
49:10.0
We were in a room.
49:11.0
The three of us were roommates.
49:13.0
So, we were drinking.
49:14.0
So, you were drinking?
49:16.0
I just joined in.
49:18.0
a third wheel trip.
49:19.0
When I got there,
49:20.0
I was a little drunk.
49:21.0
I opened the door.
49:26.0
And then, I saw Ted
49:27.0
typing on his laptop.
49:30.0
what is he doing?
49:31.0
He's typing on his laptop.
49:32.0
What are you doing on your laptop?
49:35.0
of what happened.
49:36.0
Today was a bad day.
49:50.0
it was almost over.
49:51.0
It was almost over.
49:56.0
I don't want to go down.
50:01.0
I don't want to go down.
50:02.0
I don't want to lose in Vegas.
50:05.0
We're not on a bad trip.
50:12.0
the first two rounds.
50:13.0
The first two rounds.
50:15.0
after the second round,
50:17.0
I lost at the casino earlier.
50:18.0
So, I don't have money.
50:20.0
I think you need to answer.
50:22.0
We're doing well.
50:23.0
Yes, we're doing well.
50:24.0
We're doing well.
50:28.0
what our friends told me.
50:30.0
take care of Ted.
50:31.0
He should be in Vegas.
50:33.0
it might be a bad trip
50:34.0
for his girlfriend.
50:35.0
So, I took care of him.
50:36.0
He didn't know that
50:37.0
I took care of him the whole time.
50:40.0
a group of guys came.
50:41.0
They were a group.
50:45.0
We were surprised.
50:47.0
It's only for the two of us.
50:48.0
Just the two of us.
50:51.0
it was late at night.
50:55.0
a group of guys came.
50:56.0
They were wearing white long sleeves.
50:57.0
I thought they were wearing white long sleeves.
50:58.0
Then, there were bodyguards.
51:02.0
Floyd Mayweather.
51:07.0
He's a bit drunk.
51:08.0
His voice is a bit loud.
51:10.0
I started chanting,
51:16.0
we saw the bellboys.
51:17.0
The bellboys were there.
51:19.0
that we're Filipino.
51:21.0
So, they started chanting,
51:25.0
that was the time
51:26.0
when Marquez and Manny
51:27.0
had their third match.
51:31.0
it's a good thing
51:32.0
we didn't get beat up.
51:33.0
We were chanting like that.
51:35.0
ED and Mayweather's bodyguards
51:38.0
the convenience store
51:40.0
It was just them there.
51:43.0
I wanted to take a picture
51:51.0
It's a good thing.
51:52.0
I wasn't that broken yet.
51:54.0
Filipinos handled
51:58.0
that has expensive water.
52:03.0
Tapos itong boybanding nyo, pag-akit sa kwarto, tulog pa rin yung girlfriend mo.
52:10.8
Pero okay na yung mood mo nito.
52:12.0
Nakalakad na tayo up until Paris.
52:14.0
Hindi mo tinapos yung diary.
52:16.0
Okay na siya. Okay na siya.
52:17.0
I chose not to ruin this trip because of that.
52:21.6
So parang sige, sige.
52:23.0
Sige mo, isang hirit lang talaga can mess you up.
52:27.6
Sayang naman yung Vegas trip, diba?
52:31.6
So ikaw naman, nung nangyari yun, yung mga pag...
52:35.6
Pag tume-third wheel ka, at nag-away yung dalawa,
52:41.6
how do you deal with it?
52:43.6
Sa daldal mo nga na, sa pep talk mo nga, how do you not go into it?
52:48.6
Hindi, alam mo, normally dinadaan ko sa pagiging noisy.
52:50.6
Parang alam mo si Chandler sa Friends,
52:52.6
diba nangyayari sa kanya kaya siya naging gano'n?
52:54.6
Kasi apparently nung bata siya, pagka may gano'ng problema,
52:57.6
finna fill up niya with noise to drown out the pain.
53:01.6
So similarly, ako parang pinipunukulit ko lang lahat ng tao
53:05.6
para wala kayong time maging galit kasi ang ingay ko eh.
53:09.6
So parang lang talaga akong bata na nagpapapansin, basically.
53:13.6
So nung iniwan mo sila,
53:16.6
tanawang, ang instruction sa'yo ng mga barkada, mabantayan siya.
53:20.6
Oo nga, dapat hindi ko...
53:21.6
Hindi, pero ang hirap rin...
53:23.6
Meron namang mga table games sa baba eh.
53:26.6
Anong reaction? Parang walang iyaka, alam mo nag-aaway kami, ba't iniwanan mo ko.
53:30.6
Hindi, pero may sarili rin silang plano. Part nga yun ang away ninyo eh.
53:33.6
Malaman nag-smile ako nung nakita ko itong pumasok ng pinto ba?
53:36.6
Hindi, nag-smile ka naman.
53:38.6
Nag-smile ka parang gumanon ko eh.
53:45.6
Hindi, kasi ako naman usually, kaya ako okay mag-third wheel.
53:47.6
Kasi close din naman ako usually sa mga girlfriends eh.
53:50.6
I'm that guy na madaling maging friend ng mga tao eh.
53:55.6
Tsaka pag-birthday nila rin, nagalawan ko rin sila.
53:58.6
I'm sweet like that, I think.
54:02.6
At saka hindi ka kumampe.
54:05.6
Oo nga, tama si Ted.
54:06.6
Oo nga, tama si X.
54:08.6
Tangin lang sa gitna ka lang, which makes it more awkward, I think.
54:12.6
But it's all good.
54:13.6
Kayong dalawa, last to join si Ted,
54:17.6
yung road trip bonding nila, it's not exclusively theirs.
54:21.6
But to my knowledge, mas madalas silang ginagawa, diba?
54:24.6
Kayong dalawa, how do you feel dun sa relationship ng drummer at vocalist?
54:32.6
And the reason why I'm asking, iba ang relationship nun eh.
54:35.6
Ang drummer of the band is normally, kumbaga sa basketball, ito ang point guard.
54:39.6
Point guard, yeah, I agree.
54:40.6
Ikaw ang forward, power forward.
54:42.6
Yes, scoring forward.
54:43.6
Sa football, ito ang quarterback.
54:46.6
Ito ang wide receiver.
54:49.6
There's a different dynamic talaga eh.
54:52.6
But are you guys aware of it na yung band nila is solid?
54:56.6
And nararamdaman niyo ba yan when it disseminates into the music?
55:00.6
Nararamdaman ko siya.
55:02.6
You wanna take it first?
55:04.6
Actually, it's a good thing na they're close.
55:07.6
Wala naman anything against it.
55:11.6
Ba't nararamdaman mo yung benefits na yung drummer mo at yung vocalist mo may, meron silang humor na alam mong lakot-lakot ang dalawa.
55:20.6
Pero meron din kasi kami ngayon eh.
55:25.6
Na-understand ko siya pag iba yung drummer eh.
55:29.6
Kasi nag-iipin yung feel ng buong thing.
55:31.6
And doon ka na-realize na so much of the rhythm, kasi kailangan niya pasukan yung buta sa melody.
55:37.6
Yung melody and the lyrics and the rhythm really have to work together when we're recording and performing live.
55:42.6
Doon mo siya nakikita eh.
55:43.6
Actually, applicable din siya kunwari pag si Arma rin naman nawala.
55:46.6
Nagka-session guitarist.
55:49.6
Kasi may relationship kayo sa isa't isa eh.
55:51.6
Ikaw napapansin mo na yung kembot nito, yung body language nito, memorize mo.
55:58.6
Pero alam mo napansin ko lang talaga.
56:00.6
Actually yung drums kasi yung pag-ayo ng pinalitan mo, parang nagpalit ka ng yung pag-ilalim.
56:05.6
Oo. Ang hirap pagka yung ilalim yung nag-iba.
56:08.6
Kasi biglang ibang-ibang animal siya.
56:10.6
Whereas kapag yung...
56:13.6
Without discounting anybody.
56:15.6
It's just a loud instrument.
56:17.6
Of course, you're gonna feel the changes.
56:19.6
Kahit the subtle changes.
56:21.6
It's just so loud.
56:22.6
Kasi yung snare, di ba?
56:23.6
Pwede nga may mga gigs na hindi namin na mic yan.
56:24.6
Kasi kayang tumagus eh.
56:25.6
So iba-iba yung parang ganda.
56:27.6
Or, let's say, tempo-wise, kung may drummer na bumibilis.
56:31.6
So ikaw, as a singer, bumibilis din yung pag-ganta mo.
56:36.6
Kasi sino yung hahabulin mo.
56:38.6
So pag inconsistent yung drummer, may inconsistent din yung delivery ng melody.
56:43.6
And then ngayon, kailangan.
56:45.6
Intindihin mo yung drummer.
56:47.6
Intindihin mo yung singer.
56:48.6
Hindi ka na maka-focus sa pagbibase.
56:51.6
Di ba parang gano'n?
56:52.6
So sa mga musicians na nagsisimula, let's start with you.
57:00.6
Let's start with you.
57:01.6
How did you come to be an effective drummer?
57:07.6
Anong advice ang mabibigay mo sa mga drummers na nagsisimula pa lang?
57:12.6
Teka lang. Here ka pala ng question bigla.
57:14.6
Balik lang tayo sa ex.
57:19.6
Nasa Singapore na yung ex niya, by the way.
57:21.6
Actually, ano ba?
57:23.6
Wala akong actual tip na...
57:26.6
Impossible yung wala.
57:28.6
Sige, sige. Ito na lang.
57:29.6
From my personal experience.
57:34.6
Try to listen to more than one genre.
57:38.6
Parang, kunwari, you're into hip-hop.
57:42.6
Don't just stick to listening to hip-hop lang.
57:45.6
Madami ka matutunan, pero try to, let's say, research.
57:50.6
Yung relationship ng hip-hop sa jazz, sa blues.
57:53.6
So, madami ka matutunan sa lahat.
57:55.6
And then eventually, without you knowing it,
57:57.6
naa-apply mo sa way of playing.
58:00.6
And sometimes, I guess,
58:02.6
depende din sa personality or sa tugtugan.
58:05.6
If you're the type na...
58:08.6
Every bar, kailangan hindi ka mapakali.
58:10.6
May fills ka lalagay.
58:13.6
If you're gonna do that,
58:14.6
then just make sure that you can do it properly.
58:17.6
If you're not that type,
58:19.6
make sure na sakapan mo yung groove or yung poste mo.
58:22.6
And to always make sure that you listen to your bandmates.
58:25.6
Listening talaga is a big part.
58:30.6
Don't forget yung role ng giving space or silence.
58:35.6
Kasi minsan na-overlook yun na parang...
58:41.6
We tend to be afraid of the silence.
58:44.6
Pero minsan, depende kung gusto mo lagay,
58:46.6
ang sarap ng labas nun.
58:48.6
Yung mga breaks, yung mga stops.
58:51.6
Malaki na gagawin na si music.
58:54.6
Listen to a lot of music.
58:55.6
Gosh, si E.R. mo muna unahing ko ha.
58:58.6
With regard to...
58:59.6
Kasi may iba-iba akong magandang follow-up doon sa tanong mo.
59:03.6
Same. Like advice for guitar players.
59:05.6
Because you started out as a shredder.
59:08.6
Pero doon ka dapat pampunta.
59:11.6
Mahirap ka sa main guitarist.
59:13.6
Diba? Pero doon ka napapunta.
59:14.6
Minsan kasi ang daming hang-ups.
59:20.6
Alam mo ba? Nakakatawa.
59:21.6
Before you share, no?
59:23.6
Kaya kung sinasabi dati sa gitarista lang,
59:26.6
Dude, gumalaw ka naman.
59:30.6
Pakita mo naman na ginaganahan ka.
59:32.6
Hindi yung nakatayo ka lang.
59:34.6
And then, natuto ko mag-gitara.
59:36.6
Like, natuto ko mag-lead.
59:37.6
Natuto ko mag-gitara talaga.
59:39.6
To the point na pag nanonood ako ng mga gitarista,
59:43.6
Dahil alam ko, wow,
59:44.6
dalawag nota lang ang ginagawa mo, Brad.
59:46.6
Walang kahirap-hirap yung ginagawa mo.
59:48.6
And then, uma-acting ka lang.
59:51.6
And then, bila ako tumahimik na parang sa'yo ko,
59:54.6
Shoot, I sounded like a guitar player.
59:57.6
Alam mo yung gano'n, di ba?
59:58.6
Hindi ko naiintindihan kasi tayong mga drummers,
60:00.6
we're very giving na parang,
60:02.6
try mo, oh, ang galing.
60:04.6
Ganon tayo, eh, di ba?
60:06.6
And then, napansin ko yun sa...
60:07.6
Nung natuto ko mag-gitara,
60:09.6
nakakita ko ng parang poser.
60:11.6
So, sabi ka agad ni Vic Carpio,
60:13.6
So, ngayon gusto mo akong gumalaw sa dina ako,
60:16.6
Well, with regards to movement,
60:18.6
ang philosophy ko kasi diyan,
60:19.6
you don't just play the guitar with your fingers, eh.
60:22.6
I wanna hear this.
60:23.6
Yes, this is great.
60:25.6
You don't just play with your fingers,
60:27.6
kasi yung fingers mo nakakabit yun sa hand mo,
60:31.6
so you know where I'm going with this.
60:32.6
You're playing it with your whole body.
60:34.6
So, it doesn't matter if it's...
60:35.6
Yes, kung gumagalo ka,
60:37.6
you're playing the instrument with your whole body.
60:38.6
You don't have to move all the time, parang gano'n.
60:40.6
Hindi mo namang kailangan ipili it, or, you know,
60:43.6
kasi if it's unnatural,
60:46.6
mamafeel naman ang tao yun eh,
60:48.6
pero allow the music to play you,
60:50.6
and then everything will follow.
60:52.6
Allow the music to play you.
60:55.6
It's the same thing for singing.
60:59.6
you're singing a happy song,
61:00.6
tapos nakasimangot ka.
61:01.6
Parang, di ba, hindi rin eh,
61:03.6
kunyari, parang, ito.
61:05.6
B-E-A-M means smile.
61:08.6
Smile kami pag beam.
61:10.6
Di ba parang, kailangan dun parang,
61:12.6
B-E-A-M means smile.
61:14.6
Dapat nakaliti ka talaga.
61:15.6
Kasi hindi ko kasi pwede kantahin yung mga ibang things
61:17.6
kasi magkakarites problem eh.
61:18.6
Pero may specific Disney song eh,
61:20.6
na kinakanta ko lagi,
61:21.6
na parang tungkol sa mundo na buo.
61:25.6
Pwede pala sabihin, okay.
61:28.6
So parang, di ba, pag kantahin mo yung,
61:31.6
Pag hindi mo kantahin yun na parang may gusto kong ishow,
61:35.6
Parang reluctant ka ba?
61:37.6
Parang di mo ba alam na nasa carpet tayo ngayon
61:39.6
at nasa taas ng mga ulap?
61:41.6
So kailangan i-physicalize mo yung ginagawa mo.
61:43.6
Mas maganda yung labas usually.
61:45.6
Pero pwede mo rin naman kung yung song about
61:47.6
hiding your feelings,
61:48.6
pwede sigurong try mo kantahin na medyo nakakuba ka.
61:51.6
Baka ma-physicalize mo yun na mas maganda.
61:54.6
we have a song called Di Na Mababawi
61:56.6
na re-record ko na nakahiga ako.
61:57.6
Kasi gusto nila parang,
61:59.6
parang nanag-inip ka about someone,
62:01.6
yung vocal approach.
62:02.6
So nakarecord yun na nakahiga ako sa floor.
62:05.6
Tapos yung condenser mic malapit.
62:07.6
Parang medyo nagbabounce yun sa sahig,
62:10.6
So ganoon, parang may mga ganoon na techniques eh.
62:12.6
Pero naiintindihan ko na kahit two notes lang,
62:15.6
kaming effective eh.
62:17.6
Kasing mas effective yung two notes lang.
62:21.6
Pero with regard to listening naman,
62:23.6
lahat naman tayo mag-agree na talagang kailangan siya.
62:26.6
Kung si Ted listen to other genres,
62:28.6
ako listen to other instruments.
62:33.6
Parang I make it a point now,
62:36.6
kailangan alam kung ano yung tinututog ni Gush,
62:38.6
alam kung ano yung parts ni Ted.
62:41.6
Part of maturity rin yan eh.
62:42.6
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
62:43.6
And that's when I'm casually listening.
62:44.6
Minsan ayoko naman makarinding ng guitars.
62:46.6
I listen to pianos, trumpets, ganoon.
62:53.6
Gush, ikaw, you still play the guitars?
62:56.6
Kasi I write songs using guitars.
62:59.6
Kasi yun yung main instrument ko rin.
63:02.6
Parang technically,
63:04.6
pinilit ko lang siya mag-bass nung simulaan eh.
63:05.6
So yun naman talaga yung direction niya saan eh.
63:07.6
Pero diba, sinabi nga ni Gush,
63:08.6
because I believe in Yael,
63:10.6
I see the vision eh.
63:11.6
Malaking bagay yun.
63:13.6
Now, as the person who actually,
63:18.6
kasi siya yung may vision,
63:21.6
hindi ko naman pwede sabihin validate,
63:23.6
pero sinangayunan,
63:24.6
sinecond the motion mo yung vision na yun.
63:27.6
25 years looking back to where you guys are,
63:31.6
how do you celebrate the win?
63:34.6
Yung victory na yun?
63:35.6
Because diba, andun yun eh.
63:37.6
You saw it first eh.
63:41.6
Pero you saw that first.
63:45.6
Just to put it in perspective,
63:48.6
we forget na bago naniwala ang lahat dito,
63:55.6
Ikaw yung sumama.
64:00.6
Pero ano pa rin eh.
64:05.6
Messenger lang kami ng music.
64:09.6
dapat alam namin yung roles namin individually.
64:11.6
Each of us parang may roles,
64:15.6
tapos never kaya upstage si Yael.
64:18.6
Parang siya yung bahala magdala ng bola.
64:20.6
Siya yung bahala magsabi ng prophecy.
64:27.6
Ando ka sa messenger.
64:29.6
Nakaka-in-love, no?
64:31.6
Pero how do you celebrate those wins?
64:35.6
Kasi si Ted kanina nung natanggap.
64:39.6
With a tall glass.
64:42.6
in-invite siya to be a permanent member,
64:44.6
meron siya sinabi.
64:47.6
yung difficult talk with other people.
64:55.6
25 years looking back,
64:56.6
parang, dude, we've come this far.
65:00.6
I'll always be thankful
65:01.6
and parang be content
65:03.6
and parang really take care of the relationship for us all.
65:10.6
Ika ba alam mo kung gano'ng kakabless
65:12.6
na meron kang bandang gano'n?
65:14.6
Hindi, ako. Alam ko talaga.
65:15.6
Kasi marami kasing magagaling na musicians.
65:18.6
Pero ilan lang yung makakasama mo
65:20.6
na naku-compliment yung every parang facet of who you are.
65:25.6
Kahit sa labas na nung performance part,
65:29.6
Like, nag-i-invent kami ng words on the spot.
65:31.6
Parang mga kunyari,
65:33.6
yung sorry namin sa band language namin
65:37.6
to which ang reply is Ox Magox.
65:39.6
Tapos mga ano yun,
65:42.6
Tars na ba? Oh, Tars McFins.
65:44.6
Parang ano yun? Tars McFins.
65:47.6
Tapos ano yung McFins?
65:48.6
Wala, we added a word.
65:49.6
Parang may mga inven-
65:50.6
Wala, gano'n na eh.
65:51.6
Parang may sarili na kaming language eh
65:52.6
na nag-evolve over the years.
65:55.6
So, kung may mag-tap, for example, sa atin,
65:57.6
parang, oh, yung band ng Sponge Cola,
65:59.6
kailangan ko ni-investigate yan.
66:01.6
So, kung i-wire-tap tayo,
66:03.6
mag-give up sila sa atin.
66:05.6
Ano yung pinagkasabihin nila?
66:07.6
Ano? Bumili daw ng Six McMuffins?
66:10.6
Pumunta sana, Sirus Magors?
66:12.6
Diba dati nung nagtayuan tayo,
66:13.6
nakasabayin natin si Giselle Sanchez,
66:14.6
tapos parang siya mismo,
66:15.6
di ba, kumigdin siya,
66:17.6
magna-call him loudly sa UV,
66:19.6
tapos nag-web down siya sa amin.
66:24.6
So, may sarili kayo, Chorva, in other words.
66:26.6
Oo, pero yung Chorva namin,
66:27.6
original, parang original,
66:30.6
I mean, alam mo yun,
66:31.6
parang hindi siya language pa ng iba.
66:37.6
hindi ko alam may bar na Gil's and Finn's.
66:39.6
Doon nagsimula yun eh,
66:40.6
yung Gil's and Finn's na may katipulan,
66:42.6
kasi parang kaya doon nang galing yung End Finn's,
66:44.6
kaya naging McFinn's.
66:45.6
Oo, McFinn's, okay.
66:47.6
yung good version ng Finn's.
66:49.6
So, yun lang, parang hindi nga-
66:50.6
kasi yung gano'ng simple yung bagay,
66:51.6
kaya pagod ka na,
66:52.6
tapos galing kayo yung gig,
66:54.6
ano, stop ba kayo sa, ano,
66:58.6
Sebsmagev's is 7-Eleven.
67:03.6
Oo, stop the Jews.
67:04.6
Kasi yung, yun naman,
67:05.6
yung meron kasing restaurant,
67:10.6
I'm not sure if that's the proper pronunciation,
67:31.6
So, where were we?
67:35.6
So, blessings silang lahat.
67:36.6
You guys have your own exclusive,
67:38.6
proprietary communication process.
67:41.6
What's next for the band?
67:48.6
Minsan, parang ang simple lang,
67:49.6
just more of this.
67:50.6
Basically just touring.
67:51.6
Yeah, more of this, right?
67:52.6
We have a collab with Morissette
67:55.6
I just have to work on the
67:57.6
remaining 13% of the song,
67:59.6
which means yung vocals ko
68:00.6
hindi maganda masyado
68:01.6
para mamatch yung vocals niya.
68:02.6
Kasing galing-galing ni Morissette.
68:05.6
that's pretty much it, eh.
68:06.6
Parang more songs,
68:12.6
Kasi aside from being a band,
68:14.6
we also have a TikTok,
68:16.6
which means we do things TikTok-ly.
68:19.6
Well, individually,
68:20.6
pero I hardly ever post.
68:23.6
we have a band TikTok.
68:25.6
Tapos si Tejo nage-edit
68:27.6
Yeah, the editor.
68:28.6
Yeah, just using the phone.
68:29.6
Yeah, so sometimes it's travel,
68:31.6
it's a gig recap,
68:33.6
sometimes it's like a song
68:36.6
Or kalukohan din.
68:39.6
We're just out there being
68:41.6
doing the band thing
68:46.6
being on every platform also.
68:50.6
just having a good time.
68:51.6
Kasi ano naman yun,
68:52.6
the end of the day,
68:53.6
I think it will always be relatable
68:54.6
when you see people having fun.
68:57.6
we're always having fun.
68:59.6
it's still like a universal truth
69:00.6
that is out there.
69:01.6
Anyone can see na parang,
69:02.6
oy, look at these four guys.
69:04.6
Including their crew.
69:06.6
Parang, even like, um...
69:07.6
They speak our language.
69:08.6
Yeah, they speak our language.
69:10.6
our sound engineer,
69:15.6
Sors Magor as well.
69:18.6
he knows all our codes
69:21.6
our lighting director,
69:22.6
si Mackie Mangasi,
69:23.6
our road manager,
69:27.6
yung mga iba hindi sumama
69:31.6
lagi namin sa'yo iniisip,
69:35.6
ayoko kasi masyadong
69:38.6
this really feels like a family.
69:39.6
Even though I keep saying
69:40.6
that it's a team.
69:42.6
Because it really feels like a family.
69:46.6
we're very blessed.
69:47.6
It's not just music,
69:48.6
it's invented words
69:56.6
with a Mayweather ending.
70:02.6
So, maliban sa'yo,
70:03.6
sino may asama na?
70:09.6
Since Valentine's ngayon.
70:12.6
may beloved naman.
70:14.6
Wala pang plan na mag-shuttle down?
70:27.6
Ako baka mag-extend ako.
70:28.6
Maybe I'll find the right one here.
70:31.6
Patulong na lang.
70:32.6
Sige, sige, sige.
70:34.6
kasi mayroon siyang
70:36.6
Tourist visa siya dito, eh.
70:38.6
magka-girlfriend siya dito,
70:39.6
he can fly back and forth.
70:41.6
kailan ba show niyo next?
70:43.6
Pwede naman si Wendell, eh.
70:44.6
Pwede naman si Wendell.
70:45.6
Si Wendell kasi green card, eh.
70:51.6
Meron, Canada rin.
70:52.6
May visa rin siya for Canada.
