Sigabong is coming... Place your bets.

The battle is close, its inevitable...

Mga Predictions nyo da bi... hehehe...
and what genre do you think will prevail... because from what i see, its not going to be an ordinary battle of the bands... labanan ng prinsipyo din ito...
EMO vs. METAL vs. NU METAL vs. ALTER vs. MAINSTREAM ???? ? ??? ? ? ?

i think what appeals more to the judges will win, irregardless of genre.

I don't think a battle of the bands is a battle of the genres, its a battle of which band has the most points based on criteria and thus is more complete or competetive.

case in point:

in a BOB (battle of the bands) where theoretically the judges will be scoring without bias given a criteria of:

30% musicality
30% originality
30% difficulty of peice
10% audience impact.

the premise here is that even if the band is good with musicality (performance tightness, structure) and lacks originality, a band with good originality can have a better edge, but might be outshined by a band with a tougher piece but might lack in musicality and originality.

audience impact at 10% of course will only matter when scores are tight and a few %'s will determine the winner.

-------------------------------

so a punk band playing three chords but plays it like a CD has a level playing field with a band playing decent Dream Theatre covers.

an emo band writing a great melody can have an edge over both bands.

but a crowd favorite having a balance of the three elements might pull away with the win.

a band with a balance of originality, musicality, difficulty of peices with a receptive crowd <--- put these elements together and you have a runaway winner.


-------------------------------

so a BOB is not a battle of genres but rather a battle of overall package.

Especially Sigabong hehehehe.... since 1996-2003 I had joined it (thats seven straight contests!!!), won some and lost some, but since then been watching it every year with friends if I have the time. ive seen rap metal bands win, progressive bands, grundge bands, you name it. its basically an open fight.

prediction ko though, im rooting for a metal band to win.... hehehehehe

I think mga inovative musics. like fusions sang mga metal to other music.

@digital hahah KOREK ka gid mak wla na sa pa metal2 or pa rap metal to grunge depende na sa musicality and difficulty sng kanta... kng tukaran mo na guru A-D-A-D nga kords sng wla gid progression daw laban2 d ka gid ma daog eh...UNLESS kong KILALA mo ang JUDGE!!!! hahahah....

bwahahahaha champion man kamo ya Sigabong Clash X 1998 !

batol nga lutuay? may ara gd man na d na ya malikawan!

chamba lng 2 mak... la man ko gani ga expect man daog sng amo 2 nga tyempo.....

kng sa bagay ang lutuay daw usu naman eh.. mabal an lng na sa tau kng kaw gid man ang ma daog...

hehehe

nami sang sigabong nga nagtukar ang taga bacolod nga banda. ngalan nila "tanglad". nakuryente pa dayun si j low sa stage hahaha.. halin umpisa ko tukar asta subong ka tatlo pa lang ko kaintra battle of the bands hahaha.. 1st ang droptuned sang 1st yr colllege pa kmi sang una. kag muziklaban.

nami tani battle of the bands nga wala registration fee parehas muziklaban. tansan lang ang nabayad
haha.. kalain kisa sang atmosphere sa battle kay damu gahisaay or suyaay hehe.. kung mapierde na gane. kung bata hambalon "yugs anu b kay old school trip sang judge mo" kung mga tigulang gane"anu b kay uso ang trip sang judge". or worse basulanay dayun members sa banda. gahuyhuy pako magpuli hehe..

pero sa tuod ihaway na lng gid usually ang mga battle. obvious nagid kisa hehe

ang bet ko madaug. ang banda nga migo sang judge ah! haha.. or ang grabe mag tapping ang gitarista.. so laban metal or hardcock haha.. mr crowley laban laban may matukar gid na hehe.. ukon razorback hehe..

kag cguro originality daw indi mn prevalent nga criteria sa sigabong. kay daw wala gafocus ang judges sa original nga kanta but more on kung sino ang may mas budlay nga gincover or kung sino ang damu ginhatak nga mga tawu.

talking about Battle of the Bands (not necessarily the Sigabong battles, but ANY battle of the band for that matter)

in my opinion, battle of the bands are also a great thing where bands can be inspired to be the best

but based on what ive witnessed in the past years, battle of the bands have become something which bands can despise each other about.
that is why, even though i also watch battles, i prefer festivals than battles.
sumtyms suyaays, hisa-ays, back-bite-anays, come out as a result of battles. pero actually, depende naman na ya sa banda. coz syempre, kun hinde manlang mga jerks & assholes ang banda, wala man sang may matabo na negative sa battles.

the other problem ive noticed sa mga battles is that may mga ara nga ang mga judges are wala man may nalung-ong sa music. may ara ko nakita na battle held on some school sang una where the judges are teachers. may ara gani na pulitiko. as a result, judgement is lousy. may ara gani isa ka battle sang una where a pop showband was the champion.

there are many factors and stories about battle of the bands, both good & bad. ok man na sya basta itz done right

mas namian pako sang sigabong sang una compare subong... sa registration palang perdi kana... biskan anu kanami kag ka hugot ang 2kar kung ang judge wala ga.trip sa inyu ti... wala eh... tani balik lang nila ang sang una nga style... nami pah...

para ma daog amo ni kinanlan..

1. kilala ang judge

2. kilala ang judge

3. kilala ang judge

4. see numbers 1 2 3....

tani ang judge halin sa iban nga lugar para fair!!!!

@ ChipSkylark

hahaha kng ako judge and kilala ta kmo... bala kmo da ya basta do your best lng... kapila naman ko ka agi judge sa mga different battle pero la gid ko ya kaagi luto kay damo man kilala ko hahahhaha t wla ko ga luto...mas nami gina kng wla ka ga daya kay ga nami pa reputasyon mo and my Bread pa hahahah busog2... ang law ay lng kng ikaw ga judge and my ara GUEST and tukar nila daw bilog nga album...dont want to mention sng bands...but puta guest lng kmo daw main act kmo ya? Ga dali man ta tapos mu... ok lng na kng mga 3-5 songs pra kapahuyaw man ang judge pero not a whole album tukaron nyu...

and btw kng number 1 ka or last d kna mag loose hope kay abi mo number 1 ka wla pa gana sa inyu or last ka kapoy... depende lng na kng mayu kmo..

indi man siguro sa genre...pero kung ano mapakita sang banda nyo nga lain kamo sa iban nga bands...la na ko kakadto battle pag start na nga daw may mga regular gigs na maskin sin o pwede na katukar...kahilidlaw bala kay kung sa battle ma feel mo guid ang pressure, ang competition...eheh..

ikaw man gle pre? hidlaw ka man? hahah sadya daan kng battle kay waswasanay gid!!!! remember ko sng una ang SIGABONG ... TAPE demo lng gina hatag eh and wla bayad kng d ka maka pasa sa audition pero lateley batian ko na bisan audition my bayad? lolz

IMPACT IMPACT IMPACT IMPACT IMPACT!!!

it's a live show so dapat ur musicality live is most important for me... when u say lively indi man ambot silingon na dapat ga dulugo ulo mo sg headbang sa stage pero kng la ka impact sa tawo and judges la man gyapon. even if shoegazer type ang music mo kung may impact kamo kag you look and sound professional on stage dako gid na nga factor...

it's always chamba man cguro dayon ah... it always depends sa mood sg judge man. pareho man bala mamati ta new song from an artist kung d ta feel subong d ta xa trip then may days nga trip2x mo man ang tukar.

so ang tip ko lang gid is tukar lang kamo sg gusto niyo, pangadi maski indi relihiyoso, kag practice mayu...

CHEERS!!!

@ chipskylark kun amo man lng na kinahanglan, la na lng praktis, hagada na lng shoting ang judges... kapila kami mag intra sa battle nga kilala namon kag kilala gid kami sang judges... pinaka OK nga na kwa namon was a runner-up, kag amo pa to ang tiempo nga migo2 gid ang judges... i agree with Shoa, kun ako man bi judge, ano gid kun kilala ta kamo, patas lang ya nga judging...

kahilidlaw man gid ang battle, last namon nga battle was 2 year ago... haha!! mag hugot practice namon kag tukar, kay ga handom nga mag daug...

mahal2 na gid subng ang iban nga org mag pa battle... hehe...

pero opinion ko lang hehehehehe......

a battle is a great way of jumpstarting a bands' "career" but the best way to earn street cred is to gig your ass out.

@Indus @Shao - kay muna daan nakita ko sang last battle nga gin kad2an ko..hehehe

pero sakon. case to case basis man cguro ah.. sa judging. may ara man mga judges nga parehas kay shao or sa kilala ni indus. pero mostly ang mga judges nowadays kilala gid ginapadaug. kapin pa kung mga tigulang na tapos may mga tigulang nga migo nila ma intra. sus asa ka hehe.. muna dumdumanko sang battle nga migo namon nagjudge. pero indi ko ya contestant mga migo lang namon. daug tanan namon nga mga migo eh haha.. subuan mga mal-am. hambal sang migo ko tyimpo ta ni magbalos sa mga tigulang nga perme lang kita gina ihaw ahahaha..

@robot: hahahahahhaha..balusay!!! hahahahaha

kun sa jan31 ang auditions sg sigabong (acc kay casper), when gd ang final battle? kag sa diin iheld ds yr? hehe

basi sa feb 21. hindi ko sure pero daw muna man. sino ga intra diri?

yup,jan 31 auditions feb 21 finals,venue : john holmes' metal maniacs bar both audition kg finals na ,my poster na cla online

sino kilala nyo nga ga intra?

.. haha sang una intra kami sigabong clash 16 i think. basta ah! 17 yrs old palang ko to. kami ang pinaka bata nga nadala dat tym sa finals. then mi isa ka mga gurang na nga band nagreklamo sila nga wla sila nadala while ang mga kabataan nga nagtukar "RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE" ya nadala. hehe. kadlaw nalang kami. haha. wla man kami ya labot ki that time we were just enjoying gd ang scene. SAJA ANG SCENE sang una compared now.

ma predict ko lang madaog ang mi grabe guitar solo ah. hehe. wla personalanay pero most of the time judges are focusing on the covers while tani most importantly focus sila more on sa ORIGINALS. ki dira mo mabalan kung anu ang banda. dira mo mahambal na sila gd na ya. and to think nga budlay ang riff sang isa ka banda gane, te anhun mo ang budlay kag technical pu malaw.ay man pamatian ki ka overrated. hehe. no offense. its just a plain opinion. hehe.

kag kalaw.ay sang mechanics nila sbg. 4 songs equals to 20 mins lang ang aloted time. puga bah. hehehe. anu tag 5 mins lang gd ya dapat ang kanta? hehe. haaay. basta ah.
