Aging rockers outshine newcomers in 2007


Agence France-Presse

PARIS - A wind of reconciliation swept the music industry in 2007, making reunions of aging rockers the defining theme of the year.

Led Zeppelin rounded off a year of landmark reformations in early December with a triumphant return to the stage in London 27 years after the band split in 1980, following the death of drummer John Bonham.

Most fans had assumed they would never take the stage together again -- but in September they announced the reunion for a tribute to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who signed the band four decades ago and died last year.

But Led Zeppelin, musical trailblazers the first time round, were far from being original in 2007, when a slew of leading names from the past four decades reformed to great acclaim.

The Police surprised by announcing their reunion after more than 20 years apart, though most fans believed personal resentments at the heart of the group would prevent a comeback.

Singer Sting and drummer Stewart Copeland once came to blows during a tour of the United States and had reportedly refused to be in the same studio together while recording a "best of" album in 1986.

Mellowed by age and doubtless aware of the immensely lucrative nature of making-up, the band launched a world tour in May, set to continue into 2008.

Phil Collins too joined up with his Genesis band mates again (minus Peter Gabriel) for a giant tour, Lou Reed was back performing, and Van Halen announced concerts for the first time in 22 years with original singer David Lee Roth.

The Sex Pistols played a concert in London on November 8 and Black Sabbath under the name of Heaven and Hell and The Eagles were also part of the so-called "heritage act" revival.

Sly and the Family Stone, The Who, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, and what remains of The Doors, also headed once more for the road, drawing fans to often expensively priced concerts for an opportunity to relive the past.

Elsewhere in 2007, the music and tribulations of British soul singer Amy Winehouse were a source of fascination for the public and a talking point in the industry.

The 24-year-old Londoner won awards for her scintillating soul music, reminiscent of the best Motown classics, but her drug abuse and problems with the police meant her private life cast a pall over her achievements.

In the United States, Kanye West confirmed himself as the hottest American hip hop star of the moment after outselling 50 Cent in a highly publicized battle between the two artists who released albums on the same day.

Other highlights included the discovery of Mika, a US-Lebanese singer based in London, who shot to fame with his first album of Freddie Mercury-style 80s pop, and the return of Pete Doherty.

Doherty -- former singer of British rock group The Libertines, boyfriend of model Kate Moss and another British star with serious drug problems -- released a critically acclaimed second album with his group Babyshambles.

But the return of old reunited bands was the news that made the headlines, and the reasons appeared two-fold, with Neil Young's famous saying "Rock and Roll Will Never Die" and Frank Zappa's hit album "We're Only in It For the Money" offering clues.

"Over the last couple of years it seems more acceptable for reunions to happen," said the editor-in-chief of British music magazine Classic Rock, Scott Rowley.

"There was a certain stigma before because it might be embarrassing or seemed like they (the artists) were looking back," he said. "The second reason for the reunions is there's lots of money on offer.

"If you believe the record labels, where the real money lies now is in touring. Record sales are down so bands are making a vast proportion of income from touring," he added.

Tickets and merchandising are usually priced at a premium given the "one-off" nature of reunions, and taking advantage of the older more wealthy demographics of the fans.

What's more, a reunion tour reinvigorates a band's back-catalogue of records, boosting sales and enabling record labels to issue re-releases and DVDs.

Seeing elderly rockers back on stage, minus some hair and appetite for late nights, appeared to inspire others from the more modern era in 2007.

The Verve, Rage Against the Machine, The Happy Mondays, The Smashing Pumpkins, My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and The Mary Chain and, lest one forget, The Spice Girls, were among leading groups from the 1980s and 1990s to reform.

Alexis Petridis, chief music writer for Britain's The Guardian newspaper, summed up how former stars upstaged newcomers this year with his thoughts on Britain's Glastonbury festival, one of the biggest music events in the world.

"There was something troubling about returning home with the knowledge that the most exciting, unpredictable, iconoclastic thing you saw all weekend was not a thrilling new artist, but a sixty-something heritage-rock act," he wrote.

For 2008, Rowley says to watch out for a possible reunion of Pink Floyd (minus Roger Waters).

Other possible reunions include 70s rockers Rod Stewart and The Faces, 80s heroes Guns and Roses, The Smiths or The Jam.

naay similarity ang atong hilig sa musikang pinoy ms ligiah kay mahilig man sab ko sa songs ng Asin, kadtong sikat nila nga kanta " Masdan Mo ang Kapaligira ug Ang Bayan kong Sinilangan,

Ang Asin (binaybay minsan bilang ASIN, naka-kapital ang lahat ng mga titik) ay isang bandang Pinoy rock at folk rock mula sa Pilipinas. Nabuo sila noong dekada 1970 at unang nakilala bilang Salt of the Earth mula sa awitin ni Joan Baez, ngunit isinalin nila sa Tagalog ang pangalan ng banda at naging "Asin".

[baguhin] Kasaysayan
Pakatapos magbukas sa mga konsyerto ng mga bandang rock and roll noong kaniyang kabataan, nakilala ni Lolita Carbon sina Cesar "Saro" Bañares, Mike Pillora, and Pendong Aban Jr. sa Kola House, is folk rock club, at nagpasyang bumuo ng kanilang sariling grupong musikal at pinangalang Salt of the Earth.

Pumirma sila ng kontrata sa isang pangunahing record label at binago ang pangalan ng banda bilang Asin pagkatapos nang maghanap ang isang prodyuser ng "babaeng" Freddie Aguilar, na sinasamantala ang kasikatan ng folk rock sa Pilipinas noong huling bahagi ng dekada 1970. Kabilang sa kanilang unang album ang awiting "Anak" ni Freddie Aguilar at orihinal na gawa ang lahat ng mga natirang awitin sa album.

Ang ilang sa mga sikat na awitin ng Asin ang maka-kalikasang awitin na "Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran", "Ang Bayan kong Sinilangan", "Pagbabalik" at "Balita". Sang-ayon kay Pendong Aban na lumaki sa Lungsod ng Butuan, na karamihan sa kanilang mga awitin ay batay sa karanasan nila sa Mindanao. Dahil sa labis na ilegal na pagtrotroso at kaguluhan sa kanilang bayang sinilangan, sinulat nila ang mga liriko na umaasa sa kapayapaan at mas mabuting kapaligiran sa Mindanao. Sa kanilang musika, ginagamit nila ang kulintang at ibang tradisyunal na instrumento sa katimugang Pilipinas upang magbigay ng katutubong espiritu ang kanilang musika.

Noong 1993, napatay si Saro Bañares sa isang bar sa Cotabato, na nagdulot sa pagka-hiwalay ng grupo. Binuo ni Aban ang Ang Grupong Pendong, samantalang naging soloista si Carbon. Noong huling bahagi ng 2000, nagpasya sila na buuin muli ang grupo ngunit hindi na ninais ni Pillora na sumama sa kalunan, bagaman may basbas ni Pillora ang bagong album na ipapalabas ni Carbon at Aban. Ang album na Pag-ibig, Pagbabago, Pagpapatuloy, ang unang album ng Asin pagkatapos ng 12 taon, ay kinakabibilangan ng mga hindi pa naipapalabas na mga materyal ng yumaong si Bañares.

[baguhin] Ang Asin sa ibang gawa
Batay ang lirikong Tagalog ng "The Apl Song" ng Black Eyed Peas sa awitin ng Asin na "Balita". Sinasalaysay ng awiting "The Apl Song" ang mga paghihirap ni Allen Pineda, kasapi ng Black Eyed Peas, na kanyang naranasan noong kanyang kabataan sa Pampanga. Pinili niya ang "Balita" dahil lumaki siyang nakikinig sa mga awitin ng Asin.

Ms ligiah dia na si Parokya ni Edgar,



Parokya ni Edgar is a Filipino band that was formed in 1993 by a group of Ateneo de Manila High School students. The band is famous and most lauded for its original rock novelty songs and often satirical covers of famous songs. With several in the music scene, it has transcended musical genres, varying styles from one to another - alternative rock to pop rock, funk to rapcore, and so on without leaving behind its trademark style of providing comic relief to their listeners.
Before Parokya ni Edgar
Naming themselves Comic Relief, the band members were originally composed of three vocalists and two guitarists - Chito Miranda, Vinci Montaner, Gabriel Chee-Kee, a certain Miko and Jerick. Their after-school jamming honed their musical skills, making themselves worthy enough to deserve the opening number for an Eraserheads concert. This "break" made the band members decide to add a drummer and a bassist, enter Dindin Moreno and Buhawi Meneses. This same performance marked the change of the band's name to Parokya ni Edgar.[clarify] After high school, two of their members, Jerick and Miko pursued other interests and left the band. Far from being discouraged, the remaining band members invited to their fold guitarist Darius Semaña.


[edit] Parokya ni Edgar
The name was said to have been derived from an old classroom joke involving the main character in Noli Me Tangere, one of their school subjects.

The band soon started playing at the legendary local band hub, Club Dredd. Coming out during the height of the Pinoy rock explosion, with the Filipino rock community giving into the influence of foreign bands, especially grunge acts such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, Parokya ni Edgar stood out as the band that played like no other. Their jokes, silly antics, and outrageous performances paved way to the popularity that they currently enjoy.

Eventually, the late Bella Dy Tan, managing director of Universal Records signed them up as contract artist after viewing a gig at Club Dredd. Soon their initial recordings such as Buloy, Trip and Lutong Bahay were heard all over the air waves across the nation. Their first album, Khangkhungkherrnitz became a triple platinum hit.


[edit] Musical legacy
Though they still remain very active in their musical efforts, their unmatched staying power in the Philippine recording scene already is garnering favorable critical comments on their band achievements. The secret of their success is centered on Chito Miranda's musical and band leadership. He is the core that keeps everybody in the band together. All music and artistic ideas pass thru his judgement, filtering it which often is up to date to the taste and reception of their audience. They seem to be making fun of themselves and easy-going but close associates and friends of the band point out that this band persona is actually calculated and to a certain extent planned. The humor and relentless technique of self-immolation shall be the hallmark of their musical contributions.

They now make commercial Jingles, campaign jingles for politician and novelty songs which in direct line of Lito Camo, Philippines most iconic novelty song maker. They can also be invited at childrens party and stag party
