Deftones makes me feel like more!!! I eat, live and breathe the music of Deftones!!! Deftones L-R: Stephen Carpenter (guitar), Sergio Vega (bass), Chino Moreno (vocals), Frank Delgado (DJ) and  Abe Cunningham  (Drums)   Since I discovered their music in my high school days here in Manila, the emergence of nu metal and the release of their sophomore effort “Around the Fur,” my interest to the band grew! Besides their metal influence, I was also amazed that they have 80’s new wave music inclinations too. I bought my “Around the Fur” cassette tape as a Christmas gift to myself last '97 and played it until I was able to play in my guitar the songs “My Own Summer.” I and my friends also jammed the songs “Around the Fur” and “Be Quiet and Drive.”  It is one of the albums that accompanied me on those sleepless nights and examination reviews.

One of the most successful bands in the late nineties is back for the third time! Incubus live in Manila, happening on July 28, 2011 at Araneta Coliseum.  As far as I can remember, Incubus was the first band who braved all the Abu Sayaf abductions, bus bombings and US Embassy Travel Advisory last 2004 and successfully conducted their concert in Philippine shores. That opened the gates and paved the way for other acts like Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Simple Plan to follow suit and have concerts here in Manila. I can't forget having goosebumps when I've heard the guitar intro for "Megalomaniac" their first song from the 2004 concert. I think they sang 18+ songs then and tagged the concert as "sulit at panalo!" I was also amazed that the band executed their songs well like you were listening to their LP in a music player! Plakado!!! They went back last March 2008 and played at Araneta Coliseum. The venue was jam packed. And of course, it was sold out and my...
