San Miguel Beer Commercial featuring Eraserheads and APO Hiking Society.
Classic commercial of the 90’s, how I wish we still have great commercials like this today and legendary subjects too (although it’s a low-res one). Look at them- Ely Buendia, you’re killing me. Homeboys!
I officially declare today as a Watch Wednesday! :D
Basag—ipagdiket-diket” (The Piano). Ely Buendia went Jimi Hendrix on the Sticker Happy upright piano: doused the top with lighter fluid, lit a piece of paper, and set the damn thing a-blazin’. It could still be salvaged, you thought, and Buendia trying to jam on it for the outro of “Ang Huling El Bimbo” gave you a momentary glimmer of hope. “It was just for show.” By song’s end, you thought, guys with small fire extinguishers (or buckets of water) will rush to the stage and mum the crackling fire. It didn’t happen. He stood up, kicked the piano down, and pogo’d on it like a child on a racket, sending the black and white keys ricocheting in several directions. It was a good show prop—iconic and instantly recognizable—but it was also a physical representation of an impalpable dream now turned vapor. It was a true artifact, and now it’s gone. (Well, at least publicly. Pinoy Rock Central, a music fan’s blog, quoted Pupil co-manager Day Cabuhat saying that it’s currently being restored and will be kept in Buendia’s home.)
