Why I Will Not Be Going to the Eraserheads Reunion Concert
Labels: Music 1 commentsI loved The Eraserheads back then. I remember playing their Circus album over and over again in our school service's stereo. I borrowed Cutterpillow and almost didn't return it. I bought Sticker Happy and I played it over and over, I followed them until their Carbonstereoxide days. I told all my friends about Ely Buendia leaving the band, and got so pissed when Marcus Adoro eventually left. Right now, Ely is with Pupil, Raimund Marasigan is in Sandwich, Pedicab and Cambio (along with Buddy Zabala), Marcus Adoro is with Markus Highway, and Buddy is in Cambio (with Raimund) and The Dawn. Here's an article from Philmusic.com about the reunion concert, so I won't have to give the God-awful-not-yet-final details. Okay, taking into account all the rumors, here are the reasons I won't be going to the concert:
Read full post!
- It's a one-night only event. Not everyone can be acommodated. They should have made it a bar tour or a province tour at least.
- 45 minutes?!? The fans will surely want more than that. (It is rumored, though, that they will be performing 33 songs, making the concert last around two hours)
- This is for the sake of what? Money? Have they really come to terms with each other?
- The concert is free (with tickets to be downloaded off the sponsor's site). Think SECURITY! There will surely be an angry mob and lots of gatecrashers.
- The concert is sponsored by Marlboro, and I'm not a smoker.
- The concert is free and CLOSED to MINORS. WTF?!?! Because it's a Marlboro-sponsored event, I presume. SEE?
- They are not reuniting for good.
