RIP Karl Roy [ rock in peace \m/ ]

Another Rock Icon passes away.

Karl Roy, lead vocals of the bands Advent Call, P.O.T and Kapatid. Passes away today March 13 at 1:01 am.. Known for his hits Yugyugan na (P.O.T), Puting Ilaw (Advent Call), Luha (Kapatid), and Memories of Our Dreams (Advent Call).

During my teens I remember Karl Roy as one of the powerful vocalist of the Philippine rock scene, who could deliver both energetic and soulful performance that stand out from the rest. During Karl Roy's era, those where the days that rock songs are listened and jammed to because of the content of their songs and not on the papogi porma of the bands of today.  

I hope that the passing of an Karl Roy would bring back the intensity of the Pinoy Rock. And I hope that the bands today will learn from the past, appreciate and produce Original Pinoy Music and not just do covers of foreign artists.


Rock In Peace Karl Roy, yugyugan na sa langit... sige na, sige na, sige naahhhh

"Saan ang langit, kaibigan? Saan pangakong kaligayahan? Aling daan tungo sa paraiso? Pag-ibig natin iisang damdamin." [Puting Ilaw - Advent Call]
