Because music and lifestyle come together hand in hand. Music is an expression of ideas, personality, and talent.

Most Filipinos are ain’t that much expressive.

Metal is not fundamentally Filipino. Filipinos are generally laid back and a happy-go-lucky specie. As far as I can tell, it’s been mainstream pop and love ballads from the West and we have copied them.

And a couple of novelties, folk, rap, RnB, and disco tunes. Anything that can make them move. Anything that inspires romanticism. No need for hate. No need to raise hell. And no need for nuclear weapons.

Because Pinoys like more the rap type of songs. In the Cordillera Region they like more of the country songs.

because, i think, we have this bandwagon mentality, wherein whatever is considered "hit" or "in" by others, we very well adapt. we love being in the "in" crowd. we have really short memories and attention span. that’s why Philippine politics is such a drag, we never dared to spend too much time in one issue, most especially if its long overdue. (i.e ZTE, Hello Garci?, Kuratong Baleleng, Jueteng, Jose Velarde– everything else was and will always be replaced by newer, fresher issues.)

i myself am guilty of this most of the times. )

Most of those in Cebu only play music with a lot of bass and a heavy bass drum beat.
The louder the better.
Beatles and Elvis are really popular here too.

You mean steel drum music like from Jamaica? Well if the disc jockeys would turn to the music, the Philippines would follow suite.. Maybe this type of music is too loud for the people from the Philippines... Let's keep it that way!

Hey baby – as I said I love you. But the music type you prefer you have to change I love country music. You know like "good morning america how are you…." or "Waltzing Matilda" – I also luve "long life America" and "god save our president". – If it comes to metal ? "The unforgiven" it is basically the story of mine. When my ball sack was cut off by an angry vietnamese man…

i like a few heavy metal bands like metallica, alice in chains, Prodigy ( influenced by my brother). but mostly I like alternative or grunge, like pearl jam, soundgarden, candlebox. Because of this, I sometimes could not relate to my friends, who were into rap, hiphop or what was currently "in" on mainstream radio. Hearing it the first few times is okay, and a bit catchy, but hearing it everywhere, over and over and over again, is tiring.
