I was totally wrong about my estimate of Php 1M per e-head. Mr. X told me that their total talent fees amount to “8-digits” That would mean each e-head would be paid an average of at least Php 2.5M.
Moreover, the tickets will be FREE! It will be available for download from the organizer’s site. I still have to find out who the “real” organizer is. Will update you soon.
And about that Mr. G as Mr. Gorgoro. Here’s what I found from his blog…
Finally, there seems to have a set venue and it’s NOT Araneta…
Eraserheads Reunion Concert
One Night Only
August 30, 2008
CCP Open Grounds (Liwasang Ipil-Ipil)
Rumor has it that my four idols have finally agreed to play together on stage as ERASERHEADS. Yes! The four pillars of pinoy rock: Markus Adoro (Markus Highway); Buddy Zabala (The Dawn); Raimund Marasigan (Sandwich and Pedicab); Ely Buendia (Pupil).
I was at Sa Guijo last night (alone) watching the Pinoy Soul Movement gig (featuring Sino Sikat?, Cosmic Love, Out of Body Special, Julianne), when Mr. X (not his real name) asked me if I have heard the news. I asked him what news he was referring to. He replied “Pumayag na yung apat!” (“The four have agreed!”). I asked him which four. He said “E-heads!”
At first, I wouldn’t believe it. But knowing Mr. X is in the loop with the local music scene, I’d listen to what he says. So I asked if I could blog about it. He said you’re already too late. A certain Mr. G (not his real name) has already blogged about it. Unfortunately, I still couldn’t find that blog. I’m still searching for it. Will post it here in my blog soon as I found it.
Mr. X further mentioned that Mr. G would not blog about it if there was no truth behind it. The organizer is currently negotiating with each of the four separately for their professional fees. You can just imaging how much it cost to have them play again after almost a decade! I’m betting at least one million (1M) pesos per e-head. I told Mr. X that I’d bow to whoever that organizer who’ll pull this off!
Would Ely and Raims get along on stage? Mr. X says “If the price is right, wouldn’t you get a long?” True. True.
Organizers targets to have The Eraserheads Reunion Concert this August 2008. Tentative venue would be at the Araneta Coliseum. The Big Dome would be too small.
How much would you be willing to pay, to get frontrow seats in the Big Dome to watch the Eraserheads? One night only. No repeat performance.
