Radio Republic interviewed Rivermaya last June 22, 2016 at 70's Bistro to find out the story behind Nathan's return and what they have in store for their fans.
Little do everybody know that Nathan is Rivermaya's architect. Nathan invited Rico to join the band after seeing him perform a keyboard version of Metallica's Seek and Destroy. He also recruited his childhood friend Mark Escueta who was also his bandmate from his former band. Bamboo, his schoolmate, was invited by Nathan to audition for the lead vocal role. He also helped their former managers to persuade Perf in joining the band as Perf was the owner of the rehearsal studio the band used to perform. Azarcon is a legend!
You all probably dont care but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
I think Nathan can fill in the songwriting gap left by Rico. Magaling din magsulat si Sir Nates kasi nadala nya yung Bamboo (the band). Madadala nya din tong Maya
anthony jorge paule yeah. MIke Elgar is amazing. Highly underrated. Many poser fans always acknowledge Perf over Mike. Little did they know that Mike had been in Rivermaya for more than a decade while Perf was only there for one album.
Pucha ako lang ba naka pansin na habang tumatanda si idol Nathan mas nagiging kamuka nya si Mark Anthony Fernandez.😅 malupit yan si idol Nathan sya ang pinaka kilalang bahista sa Pinas na bumuo ng Rivermaya original line up👌🏼
Lahat tayo eh gusto natin ng RiverMaya Reunion. pero mahirap kung paano gagawin: 1.) active pa ang RiverMaya 2.) which era or line up? 3.) If yung 1st OG (with Perf) 5 eh 1 album at 10 songs lang 4.) Ano ang driving force? Money or Fans? 5.) Sponsor?
Its only a joke to remake the old songs in a new album but its a good idea for an anniversary promotion of the band, specially with the current line up and to introduce the new sound to younger generations.
Nag reunion na nung Jan 9 2016 at ang kulang na lang si Bamboo. Sana matuloy at talagang manonood ako. Si Perf ok talagang guitarista. Ano pa bang drama ang di pa nareresolba? :)

Session Vocalist si Sir Vinci ng PNE kasama nya sa mga pumapalit mag session anak ni Gary V. Tanda ko nun. Sa Channel 23 sumali si Vinci sa Audition ng New Vocalist ng maya. Di sya natanggap. Si Jayson Fernandez ang nakuha ng Maya. Solid fan din ng Rivermaya. Rico/Mark/Mike/Japs/Kakoy. Era's born.
Atlis be happy Kung ano Ng nangyari sa rivermaya take it as positive people Yan Ang hirap sa mga tao eh. Being musician isn't just a. Job it's a passion and love for your own art. Don't be a critic on everything Kaya nag didisband Ang mga Banda dahil din sa mga negativity around nila if you really love opm and our own support them in all cost don't be a fur baby judgemental crook. And hate comments won't help swear mahirap Yung pressure and stressed level din nun I can relate kasi I'm musician as well please don't give hate comments if you really love your own music and support it.(OPM)
Sa totoo lang bagsak na yang rivermaya na yan eh. pangalan nlng ang ginagamit dyan kasi kpag nagpalit sila ng pangalan lalong wala kulangot nlng pader.
Kung andito si Nathan azarcon na twice na iniwan SA ere ni bamboo...babalik pakaya c bamboo SA rivermaya???hirap pla pag Yung iisang miyembro walang loyalty tska commitment SA Banda..mabuti pa c Jon bon Jovi at James hetfield NG Metallica from early 80s hanggang ngayon buo parin kahit may ibang bandmate na naplitan.....ano pala problema ni boss bamboo...??
1 year too late na reply ko. Pero bago bumalik si nathan sa maya matagal ng wala ang hijo. Sa pagkakaalam ko may bagong line up sana ung hijo, ung drummer ng general luna ung drummer nila. By that time si ira cruz pinalitan ung kapatid ni nathan na gitarsta sa sinosikat, si vic may band na din na nakalimutan ko. Bali kanya kanya na sila bago pa makabalik si nates sa maya.
