I was there during their last concert, their last appearance with Smart... and now they have COMBO ON THE RUN in cinemas so I had to watch this too.
The ERASERHEADS was more than icon, they were a phenomenon that only occurs once in a lifetime. They defined the band life during the 90's, Raymund, Marcus, Ely and Buddy became gods for us, and this was a fitting pickup from where we left off.
The movie was a hodge podge of dark grungy clips of Nokia phone videos sewn together from them being amateurs to tapping club gigs later on. They weren't an overnight success, it was a slow burn, of people who came into their lives that made them who they are today.
Recording those demos and sounding like it was coming from a can, they needed to re-record everything and got it played first on equally iconic radio station for rock NU107.
The songs that got us hooked, the punks, the emos, and how crazy it became, it was the best of times. They toured not just in the Philippines but around Asia, MTV Awards, fame was getting to them fast and it was pandemonium wherever they are.
Their personal life got affected, their privacy, but they still had to dish out songs continuously, without breaks, no vacations, and nobody was saying they were tired. Then still got to movies, commercials, more tours, then did a lot to turn people off. They went weird, lost, but the companies didn't want them to do that. Then finished an album without meeting in studios, they went downhill, had their own set of friends, butt heads, started to really get on each other's nerves. Nobody fixed it. They also didn't know how to manage money,
I loved how they included Ms. Sharon Cuneta, VP Leni, politics and their issues were discussed. Now I have a good understanding about what happened during that time.
