The wife and I were talking about this last night while watching that abortion of a halftime show... we came up with 2 completely impossible but awesome solutions: 1) The Indie Rock Show: Arcade Fire and Black Keys headline, but it'll be like the Justin/Janet show, by which I mean you'd have like 5 musical acts play, sing with other the other acts, etc. Every group/performer would have to be on an independant label. 2) Drum Corps: for all you non band nerds or non ex-band nerds, this is basically professional marching band. I was never in one, but saw one of their shows at Rice Stadium. It's like watching the best college marching bands, but their shows are a little more theatrical... almost like an opera. This will never happen, for obvious reasons, but it'd be infinitely better than the BEP's were this year, and the Who was last year. Those were both abominations. Of the recent groups, I loved The Boss, Tom Petty, U2, and Prince shredding on "Purple Rain" in the rain was amazing.
I thought she sang the National Anthem yesterday? Maybe... when she was 14... but no one wants to see anyone P on stage.
I predict NO, because it will be on NBC. Yesterday's GLEE show pulled in the leftover viewership of the Super Bowl... FOX missed the chance to milk GLEE... so to speak.
LOL, somebody was trying to give me a negative rep by clicking on the +- button. heheh, bring it on Moran! :grin:
For those bashing the halftime show on tv, just so yall know everyone at the stadium loved it. I think thats not a good representation, as there are billions of people watching it on TV, and only 100k in the stadium, but just thought it was worth mentioning. Even if you don't like their music, it was very well done inside the stadium, it's a shame they weren't able to portray that on tv. Everything else about the superbowl at the North Texas stadium, was a failure. From the entrances having no signage to direct people to the right gates, (waiting 30 min in one wrong line, and 1.5 hr in the right one, to get through security) was ridiculous. Also had several people in my row that were re-seated due to those temp seats failing the inspection. I am sure its been mentioned that 400 out of the 1200 temp seats got some kind of refund (3x maybe?) but thats still a huge failure on Jerry Jones and the NFL. Glad I went to the game, but am glad to be back in houston.
Sweet Child was like watching a real live version of a hack singing on guitar hero....only she didn't get cut off by the booing. It was a trainwreck. I give them credit for the ambitious lighting, that would be cool in a live setting. But I had to sit through a set of theirs about 5 years ago (opening act), they are garbage live....and while I'm glad the guys are enjoying success, they sold their musical/artistic souls to do so. Springsteen and Prince were really good. U2 was solid. The 5-artist thing they tried several years back didn't really work - too rushed, hurried, disjointed - and indi artists don't have a hope in hell in making the halftime show - their best bet is a preshow outdoor block party like last year's in NO. A major country act may be up for next year in Indy - Faith Hill/Tim McGraw maybe? Bon Jovi makes a lot of sense, especially for Meadowlands I could see KISS getting one
I'm sure I won't be the last person to point this out, but when you call someone a "moran" you should make sure you're spelling right (i.e. MORON). Or are you just responding to someone named "Moran?"
If it isn't John Mellencamp next year, I will be ridiculously shocked. You have no idea how big that guy is there.
billions???? :grin: This isn't the FIFA World Cup Final, sir. :grin: That's... what... [gasping for air]... SHE SAID... !!!
YEAH! I'll buy that for a dollar! :grin: (name that movie - difficulty: easy) Will.I.Am changes lyrics to send President Obama a message: <embed allowscriptaccess="never" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VBqVfmWM1og?fs=1&hl=en_US&start=550" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"> Yes, let's turn a crappy halftime entertainment show into a crappy political message show!
Maybe I missed someone already bringing it up, but I assumed the rights to Sweet Child of Mine would be owned by Axl Rose. Which would make it even more surprising that he'd let Butterface screech that song out like cats in heat.
