Mike Villegas (Rizal Underground) PERFTalk | Bahay ni Pekto 

Mike is a badass guitarist. Very humble also.

The Golden Era of Pinoy Rock n Roll🔥🔥🔥

I had the privilege of interviewing Mike Villegas years ago in Iloilo City. He and his brother, Angelo, are a very cool and down-to-earth type of guys.

Born in 1981 and I just wanna say thank you guys for giving us the best genre of 90’s music! I didn’t know that Bayang Barrios is Mike’s wife.. love her music and the whole band of Joey Ayala when they had a gig in Conspiracy back in day. Mabuhay ang OPM and wish you all the best guys!

Bilang isang alipin ng musika at nagsimulang mag banda sa edad kong 13 noong 1993 sa isang maliit na bayan sa Leyte,nakakataba ng puso na ang dalawang premyadong gitarista Perf at Mike ay kinikilala ang aking kababayan na si Noli Aurelio bilang pinaka magaling na gitarista anak ng Tacloban!! Mabuhay kayo Sir Perf at Sir Mike mabuhay ang mga musikerong Waray,Mike Hanopol,Danny Javier at marami pa!

Mike Villegas is the single reason why i learned how to use a Major Scale

This is what we mean when we say “PERF TALK”!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Naluha ako sa ending. 90s kid here..Panahon na Para sa Album ng BAHAY NI PEKTO JAM. MINIMUM 15 MINUTES PER SONG PER GUEST. MABUHAY ANG MUSIKERONG PILIPINO.

Eto yung makukuha mo kapag 2 primyadong guitarista ang nasa harap mo at naguusap at nagbibigayan. Walang ego parehas humble in my opinion. Kasi binibigay nila lahat sa atin para tayo naman ang magpatuloy at magimprove nang kung ano man ang nageexist na. Sobrang golden lahat walang tapon. Mula kwentuhan hangang jamming. Makiikita mo yung respeto nila sa bawat isa di lang sa magkaibigan pero dahil din sa artistry nila. Manonood parin ako kahit ilang part pa yan mga sir. Nakakainspire kayo. More power sa lahat ng Filipino artist at aspiring artist. PADAYON lang at MABUHAY TAYONG LAHAT.

Wow! Dalawang Guitarists of the Year ito ng Rock Awards ah! Mike Villegas, 1995. Perf De Castro, 1998. Mga alamat, saludo ko sa inyo. Batang 90s ito.

Thanks Perf.. for exposing Mr. Mike Villegas a very underrated guitar master... He may not have hand speed.. but he can make great melodies..

Grabe, dami ko na napanood na PerfTalk, pero eto yung episode na talagang may nag click sa akin theoretically (dami ko natutunan at napulot nuggets of guitar wisdom sa dalawang master guitarist ng Pilipinas), but more than that, na touch talaga ako emotionally, habang nag uusap kayo, kasi parang nag fa flashback sa ala-ala ko yung mga memorable at sobrang sayang OPM "band scene" na nakalipas. As a 90's kid, sobrang fan ako ng Rivermaya at Rizal Underground (alam ko pa rin gitarahin yung Bilango at Sabado Nights and siempre lahat ng kanta ng Rivermaya👌.. as well as lahat ng banda nun (Eraserheads, Yano, Youth, Wolfgang, Introvoyz, After Image, Rockstar, Color it Red, Alamid, Razorback, Teeth, Siakol, Boss band, etc.). Naririnig ko sa bus yung mga Hit songs nila, dinadayo ko yung mga concert lalo na pag may U.P Fair at kinakapa namin ng mga kaklase ko yung mga songs nila sa gitara tuwing hapon after class using casette tapes nila. (wala pang RU-vid, binibili ko talaga yung cassets nyo) Narealize ko eto na sila "tito Perf at tito Mike" ngayon, sobrang big time na, pero very humble pa rin.😊 Narealize ko rin sobrang saya at walang katulad yung nakalipas...at kung pwede lang balikan ay babalikan ko ng sobra, bakit kasi kailangan lumipas ? simple lang buhay nun, sobrang saya kahit walang internet, walang pera at social media. Acoustic guitar lang ayus at kumpleto na. The "Good Old times" is really the best.........oh well, sa sobrang ganda ng Perftalk na to, napa senti at napa emote talaga ako ng todo.🤭😂(sensya na po, may something talaga sa usapan nyo... more of sir Mike please.🙏) Salamat Sir Perf and Sir Mike, kayo yung nag inspire sa akin at sa napakaraming kabataang pinoy nung 90's na matuto mag aral ng gitara. hangang ngayon dala pa rin namin yun. We salute you both mga idols.👍Astig!🙋‍♂

how i miss these legends...rock en roll mike n' perf!

Grabe si Tito Mike. Kaalternate namin lagi sila ni Aiza sa HRC Makati, acoustic guitar playing pa lang nya, punong puno na ng tunog yung buong venue. Sabay sabay lahat, nag sosolo, nag rrhythm, plus open strings tumutunog lahat. Hanggang ngayon, wala pa ko nakikitang katulad nyang gitarista, foreign o local. Bangis! 🤘

Blessed to have met and known these two guys! Mga tunay na Idol !

I am not a pure-blooded guitarist; I do play drums. but still watching this video is mind-blowing and provides a lot of knowledge that we can apply to music. Thanks to these two great guitarists!

The guys i grew up watching.. Just wow!

Nice to see Mike and Perf in one video. I remember Mike, Hank Palenzuela and Jet Broas sa line-up ng Color-It-Red. Solid yung Alert Level Album nila with Rizal Underground (pre-mainstream line up), The Breed, and Tropical Depression.

This is when 2 Pinoy music /guitar gods step down from the heavens and have tea in the presence of us mortals.. Kudos to Maestro Perf and Maestro Mike for sharing this heavenly experience with us.

His radio republic performances are gold ☝️ reminds me of Sancho as well... sana magkaroon din sya perf talk episode with cynthia alexander...

These two legends make Marcus Adoro a school boy! Mike & Perf = always inspiring 😊

Yup, Nung wala pang internet, we had songhits, guitar magazine, the radio and our own ears to learn. Pero the best way we became good was jamming and sharing what we know. May damutan din na nagaganap... hehehe. But in the long run those challenges made us and it was the friendship that really matter. BTW Mike, I am your doppelgänger 😆

Big respect to this!!! Sir Mike and Sir Perf

Two of the best musicians acknowledging sir noli as the best guitar player means a lot. R.I.P. sir noli

1st time ko po magko comment sa isang PERFTalk Video. I grew up in a family that loves music and art. Nung buhay pa si Tatay, tinuruan nya kami ng kuya ko na tumugtog. Ako sa drums and si kuya ko sa base guitar and syempre tatay ko sa lead. Bata pa kami ng kuya ko noon (6 yrs old ako nag start mag drums), and everytime na gusto ng tatay ko na ipagyabang kame sa mga kumpare nya, ito yung 2 songs na lage naming tinutugtog (feeling ko inaral talaga ng tatay ko kase gusto namin ni kuya): Yan Naman by Rizal Underground Princess of Disguise ng Rivermaya (although sadly wala na si Perf sa TRIP album) I miss you Tatay😭! Inaalagaan ko pa rin ang 1989 Squier II na gamit mo habang tinutugtog naten yan 2 songs na yan! Salamat Mike and Perf! bigla ko nabalikan ang mga precious memories namin ng Tatay ko.

Saludo Yung jam sa dulo so smooth, batang 90's here!

It's THEM that made the 90's THE 90's!

Good to see you finally met Jugs.

I can listen to this forever

Napanood ko sya sa Malate. Nakipag kwentuhan pa sa lamesa namin. Pag nag request ka na kakanta ka chord book iaabot sayo Para mamili ng songs. Late 90s na yun or 2000s Ganyan ka astig si Tito Mike. Hehe

I also got mind blown on that specific session with Kevin Roy - Kailanpaman and Tao cover. That acoustic guitar playing is literally fire!!!!

Love this Perf talk. Pinoy version of Rick Beato.

Yown oh Perfect talk with Sir Mike Villegas sobrang solid.... More Perftalk live Sir Perf🔥🔥🔥

I still remember Mayric's. The venue was so small you had to stuff some tissue into your ears unless you want to come out of the venue with your ears ringing. Stephen Lu was the frontman but I always look forward Mike Villegas singing Bilanggo.

Great show Perf! Nice to hear uplifting and praising each other. Listening to whatever you are discussing is like a time machine

GOLD!!!

2 great musicians of the 90's era.... sensible talkers tsaka down-to-earth.... mga tunay na lods ng OPM. you guys, rock!!!! 🤘🤘🤘

this video has been on my "watch later" playlist for a while now. nagkaroon din ng oras panoorin haha. I'd say, sir Mike Villegas was the most insightful player i have ever seen. kumbaga sa basketball, kung si perf yung star player kind. he is the point guard who secretly facilitates everything and makes everyone look good. sobrang humble din na akala mo simple lang pinagagagawa nya. bitin to maestro perf. this, yung kay sir noel mendes and kay lodi ian umali ang favorite kong perftalks mo so far. 🤘

Ayos buti nalang napanood ko itong dalawang magagaling sa gitara lalo sa pag gamit ng mga chords na sariling style akala ko mali ang style ko na gumamit ng sariling chord style na pasok pa din sa right notes thanks to you dude❤
