RIP Karl Roy [ rock in peace \m/ ]
Another Pinoy Rock Icon passes away.
Karl Roy, lead vocals of the bands Advent Call, P.O.T. and Kapatid, passes away today March13, 2012 at 1:01 a.m.. 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 performances that stand out from the rest.
During Karl Roy’s era, those were the days that rock bands are listened and jammed to because of the music and content of their songs, unlike the papogi porma of todays band.
I hope the passing of Karl Roy would bring back the intensity of Pinoy Rock, and I hope that the young bands today should learn from the past, appreciate and produce more Original Pinoy Music and not just do covers from foreign artists.
Rock in Peace Karl Roy, yugyugan na sa langit… sige na, sige na, sige naahhh
“Saan ang langit, kaibigan. Saan pangakong kaligayahan? Aling daan tungo sa paraiso? Pag-ibig natin, iisang damdamin.” [Puting Ilaw - Advent Call]
