[exiledheart95]

[jaylord00]

This performance deserves a standing ovation.

[SMIDJID204]

who is the current vocalist of rivermaya now?

[HA0911lord]

spirits!

[yanyow123]

represent!

[JodiHan28kyo]

I wonder why rico leave the band despite the fact that during that time rivermaya is at its peak of international rising... try to visit rivermaya's page on facebook and you will see some fans from other countries still liking the page.

[wasaktae]

rico is the best.. shit.. naiiyak ako pag napapanood ko to.. oa pero totoo.. ang lufet kasi.. tapos nung nagtagalog siya.. tangina..

[mjgdj17]

goosebumps! 

[tsinoh34]

Pambansang banda! Kahanga-hangang musika!

[sharpestcrow]

agreee...nakakapangilabot nga hehehe ang lakas ng impac

,...

[ricia2195]

Sana bumalik ulit c rico sa rivermaya :)

[myenbb]

Nakakakilabot talaga tong perf na to. Ngayon ko lang ulet napanood after... years? Wahhh Miss ko na ang RM. I <3 their music.

[myenbb]

Nakakamiss! I love this lineup!

[wowsabaw]

best pinoy act internationally.. a true epic..

[keepsil]

galaing galing!!! tindig balahibo ko lalo na dun sa tinagalog yung lyrics!!!!

[nauticapnoy12]

I thought i was listening to SPACEHOG. PAreho pareho boses.

[GinoongImposibol]

something that separates Rico Blanco from other artist, playing in a mainstream international audience. ganda talaga ng kantang to. :|

[allthegreat17]

ERASERHEADS is the first PINOY band who won an MTV ASIA AWARD (1997)..actually theyre the 1st band to win the MTV asia award when it first started, and they even FLEW to NEW YORK CITY to accept the reward....when they went on stage, ELY shouted "BOGCHI!"....and the rest of the eheads shouted back "HOKBU!" this was back in 1997...the music video "HULING EL BIMBO" was their entry...

[jaydeejay17]

@allthegreat17 Eraserheads won the MTV International Viewer's Choice Awards for Asia. Although quite similar, EHeads competed against other artists from different countries, where Rivermaya competed against other PH local bands (since each Asian countries have their own category), and voted only by Filipinos.

[allthegreat17]

@jaydeejay17 wow, really, i guess over-rated ang pagkapanalo ng rivermaya sa asia huh...

beat that rico blanco. Oh wait, nag-number 1 pala ung song ni Rico na NEBULA sa hongkong this october 2010. I cant find the evidence though.

ang nagsabi lang nito, PULSE.PH. and ung screenshot ng MAGIC BUS HONGKONG CHARTS, malabo ang resolution at walang LINK sa actual website.

[chymee]

rivermaya is the best!!!! rico blanco the best!

[everycountryismine]

pakinggan niyo nlng ung 3p niyo. pero wag kau mkipag-argumento. di natatapos yan. kung anong comment nila wag nio nlng pncnin. d nio mbabago iniicp ng mga yan kht anung explain gawin niyo.

[mushyprof]

allthegreat17> everyone has their influences. it wouldn't be bad if your ears are deceiving you by hearing those influences. but the fact of the matter remains, rico blanco composed this song, and it is not, and never will be, in anyway, ripped out of any other song. the lyrics itself is inspirational, add to it the unforgettable tune, and the powerful music this song has. those who love music are the only ones who would appreciate how great this song is! mabuhay ka Rico Blanco!

[allthegreat17]

hmm...WESTERN NA WESTERN, FOREIGN NA FOREIGN.....its obvious, may GINAYAHAN.......this means hindi siya original, this means hes just MEDIOCRE.....ganun lang kasimple yan ladies and gentlemen, wag nyo nang haluan pa ng kung anu-anong explanation, nilalabuan nyo lang ang tubig na nasabuyan na ng putik....labo men...

[avielknot]

iba talaga ang dating ng kantang to.. totally real musci!

[avielknot]

i love the adlib na tagalog mas lumalim pa yung lyrics..

[nil1230]

bakit kaya sa ibang bansa sila sumisikat? lhat ng umaangat na tao d2 sa atin..ay pinapabagsak?an0 kayang mentality meron ang Pinoy? hindi natin maapreciate ang sariling atin?tingnan nyo c Charice..eh dinadown d2 sa pinas. tngan nyo narating nya sa Labas. .

[roberruzz]

i think this is their best performance on stage

[gotdisconnected]

rico shouldn't have left rivermaya!

[archs13]

i love rico blanco for knowing how to represent... he included tagalog lyrics to an english song knowing that he's performing in some other country. yan po ang pinoy.

[pinoypower100]

the best filipino band ever!

[gilzandro]

pinoybhoy cno ba un?

[ampogemo]

ask althegreat17 for info.

[kamukamopogi]

sino ba si pinoybhoy at bakit malaki galit nya kay rico blanco?

[junjunhaha]

best ever live performance tlaga to...

[bilangkongan]

this song is too western-sounding to be called an asian music.

if a thai band, or a malaysian band, or an indonesian band, or a hongkonger band, or a vietnamese band would have a song like this, i wont be impressed. i would feel like they tried so much to lose their asian identity..

oh, wht d hell am i saying, filipinos dont have their own artistic identity, they just looove to copy americans..

no wonder....Arnel pineda and Charice pempengco too...tsk tsk..nothing 2 b proud of actually....

[geekcritic]

I'm Filipino and I agree that Filipinos really don't have our own identity in music, but no, we don't copy Americans. Are you kidding? American music is trash right now. Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Britney, Miley Cyrus, Bieber, Rihanna, etc etc

Why should we copy that?

[hugmeshootme]

@geekcritic, kindly look up pinikpikan and joey ayala.

[kebyonatin]

korek

[dipulos]

@geekcritic ..dont say that..we have our own identity..we have a very rich culture and history specially in terms of music. from filipino classicals, kundiman and the likes to nowadays' pop music, we just have evolved and adapted the so called popular music. And every music composed by filipino artist is a genuine filipino song with filipino identity. If that sounds like foreign music, it does not mean that it is not anymore in filipino identity because we are now in the age of popular music.

[dadevious]

@bilangkongan it sounds "western-sounding" because of the american occupation in the Philippines, it influenced filipinos then, and you can still see it now, just like the spanish, the main influence was catholicism. one thing america gave filipinos is music like rock n hip-hop. We are proud of arnel n charice they show that we filipinos can do. we are also proud of efren penaflorida who was awarded CNN hero of the year 2009.

[serenity0324]

@bilangkongan well you have to look at the history of a country then to appreciate the music it produces. Were Malaysia and Indonesia occupied by America back then don't you think it would somehow influence its' music today too? That is the problem with people who try to sound "nationalistic" or "regionalistic" without really analyzing if their argument makes sense.

[MarkMumu]

uu nga naka tago nga:))

[pinkmegami]

bravo!!!!

[kramark27]

[althegreat17]

tama ka pre..

thanks sa repost mo..

spread the message kung gaano ka desperado si pinoybhoy aka criticalpinoy..

[kamukamopogi]

eh kung pagsikat lang gusto s pagbabanda eh di magboyband ka na lang. mas bagay pa sa yabang mo.

[kamukamopogi]

at oo nga pala walang buhay ang mga adlib mo or whatever mo s lead kung walang drums lalo n kung walang bass.

[allthegreat17]

nagpapatawa ka ba??? ung bass nilagay lang jan kasi may mga taong gustong umepal sa banda pero wala nang pusisyon.. kaya naimbento ang Bass Guitar.

actually, kahit lead guitar lang, pwede na. un ang hari ng music!! at ako si ALTHEGREAT17.....the greatest lead guitarist! akin na lahat ng guitar solo...bawal ang maki-epal

[althegreat17]

haha ikaw si aLLthegreat!

ang pekeng account!

na ginaya ang user ko! XD

tama ka hari nga ang lead kaysa bass kaso

dont forget this

mawala lang ang lead pero wag lang ang bass..

[ampogemo]

agree, kc di maganda ang tuning ng band pg walang low tone

[althegreat17]

tumpak!! hayaan mo lang un si critpinoy.. alam nya naman eh na importante ang bass..

trip nya lang magdada gamit ung poser account nya..

[amfufu030692]

@althegreat17 wag nyu n patulan yan.. yan ang mga taong hindi nakakaintindi ng tunay n music.. kz alam lng nya kpop n d maintindihan ung lyrics..

[althegreat17]

@amfufu030692 si criticalpinoy yan.. ang nagiisang tao na very insecure dito sa youtube..

[amfufu030692]

@althegreat17 yan kz ang epekto ng panunuod ng mga guitar solo only nila joe satriani, zakk wylde.. at nung iba png maggling... d nya naicp n kayang mabuhay ang knta kht bass, drums at guitar.. taz ung solo its up to the guitarists ehh.. so far mhirap gumawa ng solo n mgnda..

[althegreat17]

@amfufu030692 actually ung naninira dito! trip nya lang un! alam din nya ung importance nung ibang instruments.. kaso pinaiiral nya lang ung inggit nya.. siya mismo ung user na si criticalpinoy ung gumawa ng genius project na vids! haha

[kamukamopogi]

uhhh cge gawa k ng banda. ROCKBAND dapat, total supergaling mo maglead guitar, walang drummer walang bassist, tignan mo kung d ka pagtawanan ng mga tao.

[pinoybogoybaliw1989]

IDOL talaga kita allthegreat17............

[amfufu030692]

@allthegreat17 mali.. kaya may bass pra magblend ang drums at guitar.. isang function p ng bass is kpag nilagyan mu pa ng lead guitar may papalit sa rhythm.. kaya kpag naglead k taz wlang bass at drums lng meron... it would be incomplete... d man aq kcnggaling ng rivermaya pero kc ganun un for best quality music....

[kharizma06]

This was the song that started my OPM love. The melody and lyrics are just magical. :D

*hands down*

It disappoints me how this band just collapsed..

[atm1live]

magaling tlg na composer c rico.. ok rin xa maging vocalist.. kaso mas ok ata kung c bamboo e. xD

[althegreat17]

prang hiphop ata ung ibang nag perform

i mean ung tipong party pips ang dating! hehe

pra sa akin ok na ang simpleng attire

magmukhang papogi band kc pag grabe ung attire

[grandterrorismo]

this is shit... they could have settled there differences yun nga kinakanta ng parokya hindi pa sila nakinig... damn... its so sad to see a good band go downl in flames...

[althegreat17]

may hangganan tlga eh.. hehe

so sad tlga

pero mdyo lang bumalik nman c rico as solo eh! hehe

d na ayuz maya ngaun eh! opinyon q lang

[mondomino34]

Prang nawala na magic ng rivermaya nung nawala c rico blanco.. iisa nlng ang orig member ng banda tapos mga baguhan pa.. Tapos may away pa cla wid d manager rgrdng the name. Nakakalungkot...

[ronzvimar]

pagpasok na maya via redcarpet jan kala ko mga aide..di pala..sobrang simple kasi.. but d performance brought d house down.. tumulo laway ng mga taga bangkok..hehehe.. historic..maya palang yan wala pang urbandub..

[kan2cadiz]

very talented band!

[romaniivii]

stellar! rico is one of a kind...very talented, great songwriter.

[TheBananaketchup]

man this song is stil owning!!!

[alvincent19]

May mga moment talaga na, sa sobrang pagkaamaze sa isang bagay, hindi ka na nakakapagsalita o nakakagalaw...

Palagay ko, parang yan yung nangyari dyan sa Bangkok, nung Rivermaya na yung nasa stage.

[agimatislandboi]

haaayy.. those were the days...

[BolalinTV]

the best band! but now toinkz!

[althegreat17]

haha toinkz tlga ngaun..

[lolobob09]

i don't get it.. why did this beautiful band disbanded?? i mean if it was bcoz of rico.. coz i heard some people saying that rico became boastful and the band didn't want the way he acted.. i mean that is just mean guys.. if it wasn't for rico the band wouldn't be recognized.. just take a look at the new rivermaya now.. compared to the old one.. now the new rivermaya can't be lined up with parokya and eheads while back at the day we used to compare them. stop producing trash new rvrmya. *opinion

[pete24elomina]

bd kuya corics is truly a renaissance man:)

[althegreat17]

[janinedacurro]

humimlay ng mahimbing

at sumamo sa akin

you'll be safe here

sa liwanag sa dilim

i'll scream with you

you'll be safe here

[hima1a]

I WISH I WAS THERE!!! it must've been so electric. galiiing ni rico..:'D untouchable is what this performance is.

[rezlielyn]

rico the best!!gwapo mo!!

[kriszy15]

i like this 2nd batch but i like more the first batch!! syempre!! but the fucking present batch they are all suck i hate the new vocalist there no talent on him!!

[lolobob09]

i hope more and more filipino bands perform abroad.. i think it will help them gain more popularity.. cause philippine media isn't that famous.. so i think it will help a lot if they will go on tour so that they can be more noticable.. and plus the fact that we are that good in english not like other asian countries.. we already have advantages ryt.. why not try..

[NiQui101]

agree! but too bad bro....all the remaining bands right now are non-sense....just for fame and money....it's not worth it....so sad.....missed the 90's bands......

[izzatyler07]

i love you rico...lol...ima find u when i went back to phils and invite u to play at my 18th bday party....im dead serious...<3

[althegreat17]

haha.. grab a copy of his latest album.. there's a contact number there for inquiries!

[izzatyler07]

i know...i shouldve bought one when i was still there but i didnt get a chance...

[izzatyler07]

i love you rico...lol...ima find u when i went back to phils and invite u in my 18th bday party....im dead serious...

[ghee06]

wow i so love this song!

[Seele9]

a very breathtaking performance....

it's just really sad that rivermaya will never be the same again...

not without rico blanco.

Rico Blanco is Rivermaya.

[ginebra09]

eh mga kupal kasing mga thailander na yan eh puro ka badingan ang alam at tsaka baka inggit lng sila kasi d nila matanggap na nasapawan sila ng pilipino chaka di siguro nila naintindihan ung kanta kasi english alam mo naman ang mga thai mga tanga sa english

[darredl]

grabe ka nmn! racism! hahaha lol

[serenity0324]

@ginebra09 hahaha natawa ako sa comment mo..totoong totoo sya..dami kayang nagpapa-sex change sa Thailand..hayzzzzzzzzzz.

[xtoperchris]

rivermaya won't be the same without rico blanco, the band's songwriter. tingin ko ndi na uli mkakagawa ang rivermaya ng ganito kagandang kanta.

[shaider77]

Mark Cailles, manager for UK rock band Placebo who was in Bangkok for the launch of the bands new album, Meds, also sent his congratulations to the band saying that Rivermayas performance made (his) night.

[shaider77]

Honestly, they even upended Hoobastank at MTV Asia during that year. I agree with lotizz25 that songs of Pinoy artists can cross boundaries. Here's a confirmation from a comment made by Peter Bullard, Managing Director of MTV Japan;

" Rivermayas performance was at par with the best of any international act in the U.S. or Europe - you could put the band anywhere in the world and they would be outstanding "

[althegreat17]

so sad .. disband na cla!

[froilandpaju]

ang galing!!!! astig tlaga RICO! hehe

[blessmeira]

di ko na mabilang kung ilang ulit ko nang napanood to... pero di pa rin ako nagsasawa! it still give s me chills...i totally love the song and this performance..

[licensedtobeimmature]

they should be sikat world wide already..

super world class!!=)

[licensedtobeimmature]

rico is such a talented artist..=)

i love rivermaya..

[papayono]

i like it :)

[lotizz25]

rivermaya made their home country proud. but hands down to the thai crowd, no offense.. mas gusto ata nila ang mga gay performers na korean boyband. puro pa cute lang ang alam, in terms of musicallity eh walang kwenta music nila. hindi pang international, d tulad nang pinoy music na can cross the boundaries talaga in other region. tulad nalang nang kantang ito. our asian neigbouring countries knows this song.

[licensedtobeimmature]

lol, you have a point there dude..

[NamelessBeing]

That was one heck of a performance.^^

[reccafires07]

astig c rico dun bago nya kantahin ung bridge ung"save your eyes from your tears"may sinigaw sya.naghiyawan ung mga tao,galing ng timing nung sigaw nya,astig sya dun,..

[blessmeira]

you mean when he yelled, "Bangkok!"? heheh..

[tonberry1218]

One of the best live performances I've ever heard... Hanep~!

[reccafires07]

no one can sing like this except rico blanco,..i feel the meaning of the song comes from the heart of rico blanco,he looks amazing,he feels the song,every details of the song..thanks..

[reccafires07]

c rico blanco lang talaga ang bagay kumanta sa "you'll be safe here ang 241"kc ung boses nya may dating at may karismang sya lang ang nakakagawa,may tonong ang hirap gayahin,..iba talaga kapag original ung kumakanta at hindi mo mahahanap sa ibang vocalista,.only rico blanco can handle the rules!perfect concert in asiA,.thanks,..

[karmzhh]

NAKO! pagkatapos ko panoorin ito. wala na, binabalik balik ko na. late nanaman ako sa klase bukas. T>T

haha. GO MAYA! may rico man o wala.

[khaldonGen]

fuck maya........rico's the beast, and maya's his bitch. maya was like a serpant, that bites u on ur back.

[carloik]

Great guys!!!....Also a really good song is from FELIPE - WHY.....check it out!!!

[SWETIEGIE]

wow... great performers

[cutestpairever]

love this song so much! rivermaya the best! rico AWESOME!

[joopayy]

awesome!!!rico can belt???

[antutayski]

super rico!

\m/

[antutayski]

Super Rico!

[beshrew5]

sugoi! i love rico's rivermaya.. galing!

\m/

[krisangel93]

rico's voice is still da best

bamboo super good too

[lotizz25]

bakit hindi na appreciate nang mga thais ang performance ng rivermaya dito? eh obvious naman na sila ang pinakamagaling

[althegreat17]

boyband ung mga type nla eh.. ang babaduy.. they dont deserve the performance.. d nla naiintindihan! haha

[Roel21]

Rico Blanco is the heart and soul of Rivermaya. I hope the new Rivermaya won't play these songs without Rico. Rivermaya without Rico doesn't feel right. You can feel the sincerity of the song if it's Rico. Hay I hope there's a good solution to this before this song goes internationally renowned.

[Roel21]

Man, This really gives me goosebumps everytime. I really feel sorry for Rico Blanco (the vocalist here) bcoz he composed most if not all the rivemaya's songs (including this one) and yet the new rivermaya are using it and getting international attention from it. It's not just right. i hope there's a good solution to this...

[mantoy89]

what a superb performance!!!

[johnjoelv]

d best!

[ranell8893]

waw . rivermaya's really famous :)

[jan279]

Oops...What I meant there was all of them...

[jan279]

rico blanco's got a cool hair style here!!

[NewBetrayal]

rivermaya rocks!

[stabmyheart69]

wow..... da beast!! parang CD rec.. wow!!!!

[Biizkiit]
