That would be amazing.
I love the Foo, but Dave screaming is not the best way to say they should be next. As screaming turns off some people.To the young and old remark....IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE, GOOD MUSIC IS GOOD MUSIC. A guitar is a guitar, a drum is a drum, and an auto tuner is a...computer? Its a matter of taste, and its why their are different types of music. However, determining the basis of a musical performance is easy, HOW WAS THE MUSIC?I am a huge fan of Country, Rock, Pop, or anything that sounds good as music is majorly involved in my occupation and I have no choice to not listen to it all. A big part of finding good music or discussing anything is not being bias, and that fails in this thread, as most who like the BEP are not fairly judging the whole performance. Do they have some good songs yes, they even had many hits. The debate here is the entire performance. If it was just about the light show, just have the lights and no singers. Whatever did they do with performaces before there were lights? I'm sure everyone waiting to see the BEP, was saying "Oh my god, I can not wait to watch the lights", or the manager was saying "dont worry about your vocals, we have lights", NO. The singing was god awful. But to talk age, the people who like this type of music are generaly young, hence why pop music is in search of the target demo of women 12-24...that can not be disputed. And in another angle, it shocks me, when advertisers buy advertising for football games the demo is men 25-54, and they choose a halftime show like this for the Super Bowl which is odd. Now you can defend that they are trying to get many women to watch, well when you do that, your gonna lose some men.I would bring up past shows, but we are talking this year, so no need to. Great artists I believe would work for halftime, if they can actually sing well during it....Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, 3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Taylor Swift (She is more pop now than country), Beyonce, and Usher (even though he sang one song this year), AC/DC maybe, if his ability to sing will hold out for the show.
I was waiting for him to pull out the ol' "Inyuk-chuk" and save that disaster of a halftime show.I just don't understand how anyone can say it was good. I don't mind as much when my girlfriend puts on one of their CDs, but even she could separate her enjoyment of the groups music to say that was terrible.Idiot Boxer said:
I feel sad for your lack of ability to distinguish good from bad. It helps a lot in life.Having taste is not the same as "loving to hate" and I also turned it off as soon as I saw who it was. Enjoyed watching Nemo with my 2.5-y-o instead.Whatever happened to, oh, I don't know, Marching bands? Or highlights? Shoot, just run commercials.
Point taken, except that you probably shouldn't have made the comparison to the Rock Opera Tommy."But if you only have love for your own raceThen you only leave space to discriminateAnd to discriminate only generates hateAnd when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeahMadness is what you demonstrateAnd that's exactly how anger works and operatesMan, you gotta have love just to set it straightTake control of your mind and meditateLet your soul gravitate to the love""So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrongIn this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'inMakin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividendsNot respectin' each other, deny thy brotherA war is goin' on but the reason's undercoverThe truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rugIf you never know truth then you never know love"- Black Eyed Peas"I keep looking at the sky 'Cause it's gettin' me high Forget the herse 'cause I'll never die I got nine lives Cat's eyes Usin' every one of them and running wild 'Cause I'm back Yes, I'm back Well, I'm back Yes, I'm back Well, I'm back, back (Well) I'm back in black Yes, I'm back in black"- ACDC "He stands like a statue,Becomes part of the machine.Feeling all the bumpersAlways playing clean.He plays by intuition,The digit counters fall.That deaf dumb and blind kidSure plays a mean pin ball !"- The WhoAlot of the people saying that BEP arent music and doesnt have the quality of lyrics like they used to have, so i picked out a couple examples of the songs that people have mentioned as " music " and compared it to the lyrics of a BEP song.

No idea who this is... But I don't follow popular 'music' of today.
Again someone who is bias, hence the long verse for BEP, and the quick 4 lines from AC/DC and the Who.Now I'll open with I'm not a huge fan of any of these, so my opinion is unbias.Its easy to compare one song, now take out the song that wasnt even made big by them, Justin Timberlake and his success made that song a hit, (As the record rep told me one time, if he wasnt on it, it would have never went for adds, which means getting airplay) However, the message in that song is a good one. "Where is the Love", not bad, but to compare them to legends in the R&R Hall of fame, well... is dumb. Do me a favor, post the "My Humps" from BEP and Lyrics from "Thunderstruck" from AC/DC for comparison."But if you only have love for your own raceThen you only leave space to discriminateAnd to discriminate only generates hateAnd when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeahMadness is what you demonstrateAnd that's exactly how anger works and operatesMan, you gotta have love just to set it straightTake control of your mind and meditateLet your soul gravitate to the love""So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrongIn this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'inMakin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividendsNot respectin' each other, deny thy brotherA war is goin' on but the reason's undercoverThe truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rugIf you never know truth then you never know love"- Black Eyed Peas"I keep looking at the sky 'Cause it's gettin' me high Forget the herse 'cause I'll never die I got nine lives Cat's eyes Usin' every one of them and running wild 'Cause I'm back Yes, I'm back Well, I'm back Yes, I'm back Well, I'm back, back (Well) I'm back in black Yes, I'm back in black"- ACDC "He stands like a statue,Becomes part of the machine.Feeling all the bumpersAlways playing clean.He plays by intuition,The digit counters fall.That deaf dumb and blind kidSure plays a mean pin ball !"- The WhoAlot of the people saying that BEP arent music and doesnt have the quality of lyrics like they used to have, so i picked out a couple examples of the songs that people have mentioned as " music " and compared it to the lyrics of a BEP song.

This is the stupidest, most asanine argument I've ever heard. You took a early 2002 BEP song when they actually still sang about issues and compared it with the shortest lines you could fine of a acdc/Who song?Ok...why don't you try that with say...lady hump? Or how about...if you say...ADD IN INSTRUMENTS? You know, those things that musicians usually play with when they're part of a band? And while we're at it...what's up with these ######ed names like apl.de.ap? Or Ke$ha. How are you suppose to pronounce that? Kay-dollar sign-ha?Again someone who is bias, hence the long verse for BEP, and the quick 4 lines from AC/DC and the Who.Now I'll open with I'm not a huge fan of any of these, so my opinion is unbias.Its easy to compare one song, now take out the song that wasnt even made big by them, Justin Timberlake and his success made that song a hit, (As the record rep told me one time, if he wasnt on it, it would have never went for adds, which means getting airplay) However, the message in that song is a good one.

Be more condescending. I feel badly for you about your attitude. It's fine if you don't like it and turn it off. It's also fine if others do like it. Not all people have the same tastes in music or music styles and it's not necessarily bad music just because you consider it to be bad.Obviously marching bands, highlights, and commercials don't draw the biggest viewing audience. If it did, that's what they would be playing.
The ACDC lyric was just to show that they use repetition as well. And its not just one dumb lyric from the who, the WHOLE SONG is about a deaf dumb blind kid PLAYING PINBALL! And please, define INSTRUMENT for me??Instrument - contrivance or apparatus for producing musical soundsJust cause its not the same instruments that you grew up to doesnt make them not instruments. Alot of performers do their own music, they just dont play it while they perform. What instrument did Michael Jackson play? I guess he wasnt much of a musician either...This is the stupidest, most asanine argument I've ever heard.

Uh, singing about "issues" makes for good lyrics?Alot of the people saying that BEP arent music and doesnt have the quality of lyrics like they used to have, so i picked out a couple examples of the songs that people have mentioned as " music " and compared it to the lyrics of a BEP song.

It's amazing how low standards can go.
Exactly
Muse would destroy. Their live shows are incredible.
