As someone who was a teenager and a high schooler back when Bamboo came out and made it big, covering any of their songs (and doing it right) was a big flex. It separated the pa-pogi bands from the legit ones lol.

I love how Ira appreciates the artists, bands/ musicians of today's generation. He always has something good to say about other artists and I can feel his sincerity. Nakakatuwa na very objective ang approach niya sa mga atists of today unlike others na porket hindi na nila trip yng tugtugan or ang gingawa ng ibang arist e pinipintasan na nila agad. Ira is indeed a well rounded musician hindi lng basta gitarista na gwapo. Much respect for him..❤

I can still remember up to this day the time Bamboo the band disbanded, it was December 2010. Usually the band has a scheduled Christmas event for us fans "Believers fans" but it didn't happened, their last gig was for the benefit concert for Angee Rozul, and then there's a rumor surrounding that the band has disbanded according to KC Montero and in January 2011, when Bamboo uploaded a letter on their website to confirm the breakup and @55:15 Ira's "love letter" for the fans was also uploaded on the website after Bamboo, we didn't hear from Nathan and Vic. And then HIJO the band was born and they released their first single Tamalee.

@macvincemosquera9616 4 ай бұрын

I attended Tanduay’s T5 concert back in November 2010 and Bamboo the band was the last to perform. I noticed medyo di na ganun ka in synch sila sa stage. Wala masyadong interaction and you can see the chemistry was different from the last time I saw them play live. Nung I heard they disbanded, it answered my question and wasnt totally surprised. Sayang that was really a good superband! Vic Mercado was consistently winning as the best drummer year after year. So underrated.

Bamboo's namesake band, was, along with the Trip/Atomic Bomb era Rivermaya, one of his best bands he had been into. Songs like Noypi, Hallelujah and Kailan launched a more heavier and mature Bamboo into the spotlight. It would have been more awesome if the Rivermaya setlist included a Bamboo medley of the 3 songs mentioned above.

Nakakaaliw lahat ng episode ng podcast mo, sir Paco. Ako yung tao na nabuburyo sa mga podcast at hindi tumatagal manood o makinig sa mga podcast unless gusto ko lang magpaantok. Nung napanood ko isang episode mo dito, naadik na ko manood sa inyo, kahit nasa work ako, tuluy-tuloy lang panonood. Good job, sir Paco. Keep it up! Subscriber nyo na ko!
