Found an article written by Quark Henares in the year 2000 on the state of Pinoy Rock.
This was supposed to be a surprise for Quark last year for his birthday, but when I told him that I had a surprise he said I just ruined it. So I delayed it until he probably forgot that I had something for him by now.
Quark says, “Do You remember the time when the Eraserheads would outsell Ariel Rivera? You should”. That sentence is all sorts of win. I keep reading this article again and again and having been too young before (I was in 7th grade in 1997 sheltered in an all girl Catholic school), I notice that there’s not much difference now — We’re still curious, wondering, planning on the next step assessing which bands made a mark and who’s going to grab that empty throne in the years to come.
Also I really love seeing the old photos of Razorback and Greyhoundz on page 2, and reading about Slapshock and Cheese and all the other bands. It gives me goosebumps every time.
Aerosmith NOT coming here

I am the exclusive agent for Aerosmith. There is absolutely no truth to advertisements or rumors that have been appearing lately that Aerosmith will be playing in Manila during this year. We are all very concerned and upset that Aerosmith’s fans are being misled and hope and trust that no one has bought worthless tickets for events that do not exist.
