The E-heads Redux

The whole web is abuzz with the recent reunion concert of the Eraserheads. Aileen Apollo has THE following video of the momentous event even showing Ely's sister pronouncement that Ely had to be taken to the hospital cutting the concert short:

Why did the E-heads have to disband in the first place? They could have just remained as the marketing-promotions snob like they were and continued creating groundbreaking music (Pinoy-wise, at least), however hard that was. Did the Enormous popularity suddenly got into the Head of Raymund's, fuel the silent rivalry between him and Ely and ignite the launching of his own musical ambitions?

As in all relationships and partnerships, if there is more than one ambitious party, the relationship is bound to collapse -- there should only be one person or entity who is ambitious to set the direction for everybody. And in the case of a rock-and-roll band, the one who should be leading the group to where ever they want to go should be the front man. Case in point: The Beatles or, sige Rivermaya na lang. On the contrary, look at Parokya ni Edgar -- they have been solid throughout the years.

Marcus, Buddy and especially Raymund should have stood down and let Ely do the visioning for the band. They should never have let their egos grow bigger than Ely's.

Think about it, what we're only getting now from the E-heads is an unfinished reunion concert.
