Perfecto De Castro on Quitting Rivermaya

Perf De Castro was the original guitar player of one of the most popular bands the Philippines has ever seen, Rivermaya. A few years into their incredible career, he quit the band but never revealed his reasons why...until now!
When we heard his reasons, we immediately realized that we too would quit if we were put in his position. You're a good man Perf, thanks for opening up to us!

    Perf is a musician with true passion for his talent and artistry. Yan ang kelanman di maiintindihan ng mga bashers dito. Habang may lalim ang pang-unawa ng mga musikong may paninidigan sa passion nila tulad ni Perf, hanggang panlalait lang ang magagawa ng mga mabababaw ang pang-unawa.

    Rivermaya was created by Chito Rono (same as Streetboys) as Universal's answer to The Youth, Ereaserheads and Yano (who were lording the airwaves that time). Only Perf and Nathan had the street cred to the music scene that time. Bamboo's roots is RnB, Rico Blanco and Mark Escueta were still untested. Even with Perf and Nathan, they were a complete newbie to the scene. They were often booed during pocket concerts, Club Dredd gigs and concerts in Amoranto stadium (well even Eraserheads and FrancisM were booed and harassed). Even in NU 107 rock awards 96, where they performed Hilo (even The Breed's Charlie Ysmael was caught smirking). They were booed and heckled. Maybe because musicians and true rock aficionados know they don't have the credentials, especially after Perf left them. I know because I was there. Also band members who have side-projects (just what like Perf did) was normal. This was to express what they cannot do in their main band (e.g. Raymund Marasigan's Planet Garapata, Dominic "Papadom" Gamboa's Runaway Boys, Buwi Meneses' Franco etc). But because Rivermaya was a manufactured-from-showbiz entities band, they (the management) don't understand how a musician feel. Perf leaving Rivermaya, for me, was a very sound decision. I agree to Andrew Corvera's comment. Listen to how Awit ng Kabataan, 214 and even Ulan played vs Perf de Castro less Rivermaya version and you will hear the BIG difference. I saw these 90's bands started, grew and faded. I can say being popular doesn't mean accomplishment as a musician.

He really brings a lot of energy and songs with his solo lead adlubs really made the song float high above the other bands that time. Without him in the upcoming reunion of Rivermaya will not be perfect without the one who made it perfect in the first place and that"s none other but sir Perf de Castro. More power sir.

    Perf is a passionate guitar virtuoso, can you imagine 214 or Awit ng kabataan without him?.. His works with Francis M and Triaxis speaks volumes that only true musicians who can actually play understands. The problem with the music scene here is we are too much influenced by pop culture, everything has to be radio friendly and that creates division between passionate musicians who work on their craft, who only cares for the music and musicians or i should say people who just wanted to be famous.. No wonder we have guys like Vice Ganda and Daniel Padilla with multi-platinum records. The young generation is poisoned with pop culture, autotune crap, everything is rnb and hip-hop, even pinoy rock ballads like Alamid's "Your Love" were revive, rearrange to be more pop friendly, omitting guitar solos then adding cutie pattootie vocals.

    Back then, having side projects was like considered a taboo for band musicians. As like as what Maestro Perf said, it was some kind of "threat" wherein it's only an outlet for your own musical creativity. Most musicians, especially in the guitar side, have many influences. You can't always express a certain style to a song composed by musicians who have different musical backgrounds.

    Not sure how far "back then" you're referring to. But side projects were already a thing in the 80s and 90s. In the 80s, There's Duran Duran who had a side project which is Arcadia. In the 90s, there's Pearl Jam and Soundgarden who had Temple of the Dog. Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam had Mad Season. Pantera also had Down as a side project. It really wasn't a threat if all the side project is about is to have fun. It becomes a threat only when the band is motivated by money which Rivermaya obviously is. Locally, Razorback and Wolfgang occasionally swap bandmates too.

Marami pa sya na produce mga notable Wolfgang (“Semenelin”), Francis M (FreeMan and FreeMan II), and Marc Velasco (Epic). Ayaw nya maging permanent sa banda in fact gusto nya puro session. A professional guitarist who can read notes he played with a lot of reputable musicians. He pursued his passion and experience a wide variety of genres unlike musicians na stuck playing their same hit songs every gig. With all that said as a musician with those experience, that's an achievement na masasabi ko beats fame and fortune.

    Para skn tama lang ang naging desisyon ni master perf' sa pag alis nya sa dti nyang banda .. kht nman ako kung di ko na trip ang tugtugan ng banda ko at may gusto akong gawin pra mailabas ko ang tunay na galing at talent ko bkit di ako aalis dba ? Kung yung sarili ko nman gusto ang ggwin ko at wla akong pagsisisihan bandang huli .. sa banda kasi di nman talaga yan nagtatagal ng matagal na matagal .. kasi darating ang panahon magkakaron na din sila ng kanya kanyang kagustuhan gawin pra sa mga sarili nila gaya ng mag solo artist or mag iba ng group band na akma! Sa panlasa ng kanyang bagong tugtugan .. habang tumatagal kasi lalo pa silang gumagaling at lalo pa sila nakakaisip ng mas maganda pra sa mga sarili nilang buhay ... gaya ng the beatles .. kalaunan nagkahiwa hiwalay din dhil naiba na din ang tema ng tugtugan ni jhon lennon .. gusto nya ng mag solo pra mas mailabas nya ang tunay na galing at talent nya pagdting sa musika .... naging succesful nman sya sa career nya ... kya nga lang maaga syang pumanaw ... yun lang!

    Remember Rivermaya is not a college band but a manufactured. Each member came from different origins and have their own dreams. One good thing was they auditioned with talents specializing their instruments. Bamboo = The voice, Rico = The Poet and Melody Maker, Perf = Guitar Vertouso, Mark = Drum Machine, Nathan = Bass Man !

    Technical playing or learning technical elements is not talent all the time but yes academic and you've acquired these things because you study. But Rico is a different animal see, melodies just came in just a minute that's so natural for him and that's magic. Magic and creativity is pure talent !

Perf is the most important guy in maya aside from bamboo at rico..the fact of the matter is kayang mag blend ni Perf sa kahit anong banda locally and internationally..from wolfgang to the jerks to anything.. i think ang problem nila before ay yung managers nilang si lizza nakpil at chito rono..na hinawakan sila sa leeg ng husto.

    anu daw? after ng first album ng rivermaya at wala na si perf, hindi na ko fan ng rivermaya. hindi na sila rock para sakin nung umalis si perf, parang pangbenta na lang. I acknowledge rico's song-writing skills, but it will really sound bland kung wala ang skill ng isang perf de castro. so saying that he is not the best guitarist that rivermaya has ever had is simply ridiculous.

    Magaling talaga si sir Perf at hindi maitatanggi yun. Noong umalis siya para gawin ang gusto niya sa musika hindi naman nawala ang Rivermaya sa ere o noong umalis na si Bamboo. Si Rico naman pinagpatuloy ang banda at nagawa niya pa ma continue ito hanggang nag solo siya. May kanya kanya lang talagang gusto ang tao kahit na hindi kasing galing ni Perf o Bamboo pa yan ang performance basta gusto nila ang ginawang kanta kahit naka acoustic pa yan ay tatangkilikin nila yan. May mga member talaga ng banda na aalis at kung saan sila masaya gagawin nila ang gusto nila solo man o collab. Pasalamat nalang tayo naging part silang lahat ng Rivermaya.

    Rivermaya was an adobo type of a band in the early days until they turn into a chopsuey type when they began experimenting melodies and music from the 60's 70's, 80's they combined the Beatles, Brit pop. Depeche Mode, Bowie and The Cure.

Aminin natin milyones kinita ng Rivermaya kahit wala na si Perf kasi sumikat pa rin mga later songs nila However, at least sinubukan nia. No regrets din siguro si Perf. Maybe money is not everything.
