JDCB is already a legend when i gained consciousness... while listening together to the personally legendary DYSS of Cebu, my 'city boy' cousin introduced them to me, boasting of rock music familiarity which i then lack being a rural homebuddy... they were the first inductors of noise into my then innocent ears, together with Dio, The Police, Uriah Heep, Scorpions, etc... and they were good initiators... as it turned out.
