JAKARTA - Once Mekel answered his possibility to return to performing with Dewa 19. This was asked by Sandy Darusman on XVG TV's YouTube.
Sandy questioned whether Once was willing to appear with Dewa 19 if the payment was in accordance with his wishes.
"I heard, if the money is okay, you still want to perform with Dewa?" asked Sandy Darusman.
"What about the money?" asked Once Mekel.
"Yes, no, it means that if you get an offer, do you still want to perform if the money is appropriate?" asked Dandy again.
Once explained that the main problem was not money. There are other things that are considered more important if you have to return to the stage with Dewa 19.
"No, actually, when everything is done, everything is okay. I don't want to talk about money, I don't want to," replied Once Mekel.
"If everything is resolved, then a feud or something is called, if everything can be straightened out again, it's on good terms, okay," he continued.
According to Once, if paid accordingly but the feud is not over yet, the performance that will be given to the audience will also not be as expected.
"We don't want to play with an unpleasant atmosphere," said Once.
"It has to be fixed first, not because of money. We need a comfortable atmosphere, a good one, and a fun one," he said.
For information, the feud occurred when Ahmad Dhani forbade Once Mekel to perform the songs he composed.
Because Ahmad Dhani insisted that songwriters have the right to prohibit someone from performing his songs, Once Mekel was also willing not to perform the songs composed by Dewa 19 keyboardists.
Meanwhile, the last big event of Once Mekel with Dewa 19 took place during a concert titled the 30 Years of People's Party Work Dewa 19 at the Jakarta International Stadium, North Jakarta on February 4.
