Let me
just share my experience with the best Filipino band of all time, Queso, at the
last leg of their “KamiQuesoHoundz” tour at the B Side, Makati City last
February 25, 2013.
My
friends and I, were all stoked and can’t wait for the main event which was the
time for Kamikazee, Greyhoundz and Queso. That was not my first time seeing
them live, but I was still left in awe while they were playing “Mottaka” – my
favorite song. Technicals were harsh, I mean, I had a hard time listening to
Ian’s voice, but thank God he’s such a professional! Moshpits were everywhere
up until the last song, “Insekta.” There were a lot of different people, in
different genres. One thing I learned about from this event is that, no matter
how famous these people were, they were grounded.
They love
their fans – they treat them as if they are a part of the family. I also saw
how bonded these people. I will never forget Eight Toleran’s favorite line,
“Mata sa Langit, Paa sa Lupa,” because they live in it.
Other
people will never understand their way of expressing themselves – tattoos,
smoke, alcohol and so forth- they will say something bad about them, but they
don’t care, instead they continue their lives and keep on writing good music which
I truly admire. Continue on inspiring us, Queso. Continue in making good music
and as you always say, “Pagmamahal lagi.”
