Awww, watching this again because of Mike E :( Never thought na unofficially wala na rin sya.

[@franksterkb891]

shout outs to mark for sticking to rivermaya til the end

[@lemuellachica4991]

Underrated yung rhythm section nina Nathan at Mark. Napagaling nila. At kung titingnan natin, si Nathan aggressive yung style at si Mark npakatasteful at linis, pero pagtugtog nila, talagang kabit. Yung kantang "Revolution" ang isa sa pinakaangas na opening song sa mga albums nung 90's. Halimaw pa sa gitara si Mike Elgar, Rivermaya's music will stand the test of time. Ty sir Paco, your a very good interviewer, making your interviewees feel at ease. Ito ang totoong kwentuhan.

[@dory5715]

The best OPM show I’ve seen so far! Grabe as in…ayaw matapos ng tao ang saya ng gabi na yun. Every performer gave their best performance talaga. I hope this becomes a yearly thing. Lakas maka-satisfy ng longing for OPM music sa mga Pinoys na malayo sa Pinas! Great job, Paco. Will support your projects like this. OPM is the best🥰

[@dory5715]

Salamat sa meet and greet…and glad you remembered me, Paco🥰

[@CardingSungkit82]

Hope the ERASERHEADS will sit also on that podcast too.. 🤞🙏

[@jeffmazo7691]

eto tlga ang dpat n nsa reunion, eto tlga ang isa sa pinaka underrated guitarist sa pinas, karamihan sa mga nagbabanda na guitarista kilala to lalo n nung 2000s kasi yung liwanag sa dilim nyang album solo sobrng hirap

[@renzrubillar1782]

Kung si Perf para sa mga Gen X, kaming mga milli si Mike Elgar talaga. Legendary yan

[@nursemia]

Super enjoy sa Anaheim! The best OPM show ever! Sulit na sulit ang ticket! Nakakabawas ng pagkahomesick sa mga pinoy dito sa US. Galing din ng interview na to. It made me appreciate Rivermaya more! More power to Paco’s place! Astig!😃

nice interview, so the stories I've been hearing about those bad habits were true pala

[@denzio9]

Ang saya! Solid pa din ang Maya!

[@redskitter]

I remember in the 90's sa 97.1 Campus radio LSFm nagsasalitan lang ng no. 1 sa weekly countdown ni Dj Triggerman ang Rivermaya, Eraserheads, at Introvoys.

[@Lowered_Gadh]

[@claudettemay]

lahat sila may sense of loyalty. sobrang sarap sa puso, bahagi sila ng kabataan ng bawat pinoy.

[@tekdet]

Sa totoo lang pagtinitignan ko si nathan naaalala ko si pepe smith rockstar rak en roll datingan pero mabangis magbass. Iba talaga pag balik sa music kahit ano pa extra ginagawa mo sa buhay, dun ka parin babagsak sa huli. Congrats nates it's always the music always.

[@bukayo17dxb]

[@beergas9730]

"hobby" lakas eh hahahaha

[@irwinnavarro583]

47:11 "are you guys complete" for me sir Paco, as a Maya fan, matutuwa ako if madagdag si Japs Sergio. Di ko alam if aware kayo sa work nya sa Maya, pero sobrang all around sya. Multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer. 🙏🎸

[@PacosPlace]

I am very aware being a maya fan, myself. Yung context ng question is to gauge kung may hinahanap hanap pa sila or heto na.
Thanks for supporting the channel, by the way.

[@irwinnavarro583]

@@PacosPlace salamat sa reply sir! Watched your other podcasts din with Robin, Ely, Rico, Raymund etc.
Sana mainterview nyo din po sina Bamboo and Perf 🙏

[@PacosPlace]

@@irwinnavarro583 In due time.... they've been invited, though.

[@Zaldy_Omana]

why mike elgar left rivermaya?

[@JCRocker102181]

It's a fun & educational interview with Rivermaya. I saw them perform during the campaign of Leni Robredo & Kiko Pangilinan. Unfortunately we didn't see each other after they played in the rally.
Let this be a lesson to young musicians who are caught in a crossroad.
I have been a fan of Rivermaya when they started.
