AEROSMITH'S FIRST CONCERT IN THE PHILIPPINES


May 8, 2013 was the date of Aerosmith's first ever concert in the Philippines. The Philippines is one of three Asian countries that are part of Aerosmith's concert tour "Global Warming Tour" to eight countries, namely: U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Indonesia, Japan and Mexico. 

Unfortunately for their Indonesian fans, their concert in Indonesia was cancelled due to safety concerns. They arrived in the Philippines three days earlier on May 5, 2013.

Last night's concert was one of the most unforgettable concerts in the Philippines. The concert venue was filled with enthusiastic music lovers that include well-known Filipino celebrities.

Aerosmith did not disappoint their Filipino fans as they sang all of their hit songs especially the most loved song "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" which was a very big hit in the Philippines. What the audience really loved the most was that vocalist Steven Tyler's singing prowess is still as powerful as ever. Also highlighting the concert was the sterling solo performance of Joey Kramer on drums. On the other hand, Joe Perry has proven once again that he is a consistent excellent guitarist. 

It was so amazing to see five persons on stage who gave 100% of their energy to their performance for their fans in spite of the fact that the band's members are already in their 60's.  Present day bands have a lot to learn from these veterans. Their amazing first Philippine concert was truly worth the wait. If I have to describe Aerosmith's concert in one word, it was 'epic'. Thank you Aerosmith for an amazing and memorable concert. Hope it won't be the last.

Here is Aerosmith's lead guitarist Joe Perry's beautiful tweet:

N SYNC - (GOD MUST HAVE SPENT) A LITTLE MORE TIME ON YOU


Title: (God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time On You
Artist: N Sync
Country: U.S.A.

This is one of N Sync's most unforgettable music videos, and the song is also one of N Sync's best songs. This is far different from their earlier music videos that have lively and carefree theme fit for teenyboppers. This music video has a serious and mature tone. This is about the beautiful bond between a mother and her son.

Since we are in the month of May which is the month of Mother's Day, I would like to dedicate this music video to all the mothers in the world, especially to my colleagues who are mothers.

I may not have the best and perfect mother in this world, but I am proud of my mother for giving me life, for welcoming me into this world. How many babies out there who were not given the chance to live because their mothers aborted them? I know it is not easy to take care and raise a child, it takes a lot of sacrifices, but my mom took care of me and my siblings even in the absence of a father, and for that, THANK YOU MAMA! God bless you always.
