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.

[@PacosPlace]

Boom! 🔥🔥

[@violet9499]

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..❤

[@macvincemosquera9616]

Kaya tama siguro na Switzerland nga sya. Happy for Ira!

Alam ko nagsesession din sya sa ibang mga artists , diva sa mga concerts

Isa sa favorite ko na guitar player si sir Ira. Kakabilib how he filled the songs sa Bamboo kahit 1 lang sya na gitarista.

53:37 I like the part where Ira talks about the reality of being in a touring band. Ganyan din sinabi ni Mark Escueta na what happens off-stage is just as important if not more important than onstage.

Sobrang swerte ko lang as a normal person, kasi kapitbahay namin sila, si Vic Mercado naka-harley davidsons na big bike, si Sir Ira nakikita ko lang sa pinto ng bahay, si Bamboo I saw him nagpupunas ng shotgun sa harap ng bahay while si Nathan, nakasabayan ko bumili ng sampaguita strings dun sa may tindahan malapit. hehe :D Ngayon wala na yung bahay na purple, naging tayler siya na may volkswagen na car. :D hehe

In my opinion, Rivermaya reunion was a business. I have noticed to their interviews prior to the said reunion, ilap si Azarcon and di masyado sincere mga sagot niya. It just what I had noticed. But hopefully the reunion for the band Bamboo would materialize.

[@PacosPlace]

Glad you enjoyed it!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@asthemusicplays]

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]

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.

[@intradibles]

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.
