Replacing A Vocalist



Um… I just want to make a list yung mga banda na nag replace ng kanilang vocalist. Ito lang yung alama ko:

+Eraserheads- first Ely Buendia to Kris Dancel

+Rivermaya- Bamboo Manalac to Rico Blanco to ?

+Mojofly- Kitchie Nadal to Lougee Basabas

+Silent Sanctuary- Norman(?) to Sarkie Sarangay

+Sandwich- Mark Abaya to Raymund Marasigan

+South Border- Brix Ferraris (tama ba?) to Luke Mejares to Vince Alaras and Duncan

I heard Rivermaya is replacing their vocalist because Rico left the band. I also heard I don’t know if it’s true, but they are planning to have this reality talent search mala Rockstar Inxs.
As you can see in my list, some of the bands na ni-replace by their own member ay mas maganda ang kinalanbasan, yung iba lang. take the situation of Sandwich, they are big now unlike dati, I guess. Rivermaya, maganda din ang kinalabasan when Rico takeover Bamboo’s position. Let’s see naman yung mga ni-replace na hindi ka member. Nung nawala si Ely at pinalitan ni Kris Dancel who joined the group but now eventually nag disband din sila at ngayon ay naging Cambio na. Sa Mojofly naman, I can’t say whether Lougee made the band more popular because I don’t know Mojofly’s popularity when Kitchie was still there but all I can say is they are stable naman with today’s band scene. Like when they have a gig in my school, I can say that sila yung isa sa malakas ang tilian ng students. Siguro thanks to that shampoo commercial and Ali (read: ALL girls school). Silent Sanctuary is an unknown band back then pero ngayon nasa myx hit chart yung song nila. Sa south border naman, every time na ni-re replace ang vocalist kumakagat naman sa panlasa ng tao. I think being lucky is also included here.
What I’m trying to say is, people agrees and accepts on whatever changes that occurred, whether these bands were replaced by old members or by people outside the band. Sabi nga nila “the only constant thing in life is change” (haha tama ba?) sana rivermaya’s popularity will be the same whatever changes will occur.
