Just got back from Journey concert in Manila......

[Rick]

E-heads?

People that hate Revelation....get with the program, Gideon....

Aaaah!!1! DOES... NOT... MAKE... SENSE...

No, sure doesn't. Haters suck!

[grimlocked]

E-heads?

From what I've read, E-Heads refers to the local band Eraserheads which had a concert a week or so earlier. They were able to pack 100K people into the same venue. Their tickets were several times cheaper though.

[Gideon]

Ah.

Wait.

He's saying that there were thousands of people who hated Revelation but loved the other material there.

Edit: Or not. S2M, you're a bastard!

[mdaemon]

E-heads?

Eraserheads is a Pinoy band. They had a concert last week at the same venue.

[Don]

I thought the venue was set up for 32k. I'm thinking 20 to 25k attended.

The E-Heads crowd was incredibly huge. They had to have 70k easily. Estimates were right around 100k for them. Journey had well more than 20 to 25k from the shots I saw.

I was going off of what the one person said who went to both concerts. He said they configured the venue to half the size and added the chairs. The Eraser heads show was open field from what I saw. We'll know in a few days any way, not that it matters.

All that matters is Arnel stepped up and delivered for the hometown fans.

[Saint John]

People in the shoutbox at AP's joint are saying 30k. Nicely done, GB.

That is really the coolest thing about it. You can TELL how proud they all are, as they should be. I cruised last year in the Carribbean and there was a trio of Filipino men whose job it was to play and serenade people through dinner, and then they played in the atrium of the ship in the evenings. I asked them about Arnel, and they got SO excited! They were excited I knew who the Zoo was too. They knew who he was and they laughed and told me they always tease the one guy in the trio that he looks and sounds a little like Arnel, which he DID! So everytime they saw me the rest of the cruise when they were playing, they would get excited and play me a Journey song. And the other music they were playing was NOT rock!!! They did this using a piano, violin and a bass guitar in the club or atrium and at dinner when they walked around, using a violin, cello and acoustic guitar. It was really fun!!! Neal's part on violin was really cool! They had a lot of talent! You could just feel their pride too!

Do you still have their contact info? I would wait for their TDTWT rendition with a violin on Youtube.

No I don't! Unfortunately the ship we were on was on one of it's last cruises here, and they were selling it to someone overseas. So everyone on the ship was moved to other various ships! I never thought to ask them for any info as to who they were or anything. It was a Royal Caribbean cruise.

Nice set list, sorry you had to hear Frigas mouth harp solo, he just cant help himself

At least it wasn't a skin flute.

[Voyager]

By the way I saw Rip because he knew some people seated in my area and he dropped by. But he was actually seated near the font center probably 4th row and was shown on screen a couple of times.

Rip Rokken was in Manila?
