BillsFanNC Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Agreed, that was a great commercial. Nothing really to do with beer....but a great commercial. 231162[/snapback] I've yet to see an AB commercial that has anything to do with beer.
Fan in San Diego Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 You are dead on. Everyone who thinks that the halftime show was so great, has to remember that some of the songs are now nearing 40 years old(Guns n Roses covered “Live and Let Die” 20 years ago). For all you baby boomers, that is the equivalent of you having to listen to the big band sounds of the 30's and 40's. Could you imagine having to listen to Benny Goodman? Think how you felt when everyone told you how great that music was and how your music is crap. Everyone always thinks that their generations’ music is the best and everyone else’s is crap. Bottom line is that music is a young person’s game and watching ageing stars, like Paul McCartney was not only boring but painful. 231240[/snapback] Not so, I enjoy all of the current music, probably even more than my kids do ! They tell me to turn down the volume ! Anyways, put away the broad brush your painting with. So you equate McCartney as boring as Benny Goodman? Who is good currently in your opinion?

There isn't much today that'll meet that criteria. I'd be curious to hear what you think will still be viable 15-20 years from now. BTW, GNR covered "Live and Let Die" 14 years ago - not 20.

YO YO YO
jayg Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I love Bach, Vivaldi, Benny Goodman, Beatles, Duke Ellington, Alice in Chains, Godsmack. Point is, I like music from all generations. Not all styles but all generations. Don't limit yourself. You are dead on.

Remember who's buying the Super Bowl tickets, the Cadillacs, and the Cialis. It's not the MTV crowd. Next year, Ringo Starr will sing a medley of Octopus Garden, The No No Song, Yellow Submarine, and A Little Help From My Friends.

_BiB_ Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 For all you baby boomers, that is the equivalent of you having to listen to the big band sounds of the 30's and 40's. Could you imagine having to listen to Benny Goodman? FWIW, I have a few albums showcasing some of the standards from the 40's. Many of those songs are timeless-and in many cases still being performed today. Ever listen to Diana Krall? Natalie Cole? Several good points brought up here. Darin has a point on letting the league, network and AB know what you think. One thing not mentioned, is that for the most part the last several SB halftime shows were aimed very hard at the under 30 crowd. Those who didn't enjoy McCartney take this into account. There ARE people in their 40's and 50's who watch football too. So, we got one. You got 10. And, I'm all for Aretha and Smoky in Detroit. Too bad Marvin Gaye is gone.
ndmanley Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Not so, I enjoy all of the current music, probably even more than my kids do ! They tell me to turn down the volume ! Anyways, put away the broad brush your painting with. So you equate McCartney as boring as Benny Goodman? Who is good currently in your opinion? 231251[/snapback] I really like all kinds of music. You might be surprised to hear this but I like the Beatles music. The difference is that those days are gone and too many people are holding on to the past a bit too tight. I was a big fan of U2 although the latest CD leaves something to be desired (proving it is a young man's game). Recently, I like Green Day and Maroon Five, and the Killers. As you said though, it is just an opinion. As far as the broad brush, there have been many in this thread. I am just adding to it. People saying that at least he isn’t lip syncing, all pop music is trailer trash, etc.
buckeyemike Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Eminem and Kid Rock to appeal to the younger generation. I'd much rather see Smokey and Aretha amongst other old schoolers. 231130[/snapback] Kid Rock ain't going back after being part of that abortion last year. He shouldn't have worn the American flag as a pancho. That would have been the big story had Janet Jackson's boob not fallen out. As for Eminem, forget it. You think the NFL wants to take a risk there? Mike

Bob4Bills Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Music preference is as individualistic as facial features, so I give Macca critics their due, BUT , I LOVE THE BEATLES, always have, and it was the second best HT ever, behind U2, IMHO...
ndmanley Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Yeah, the Orange Bowl halftime with Ashlee Simpson was SO much better. 231264[/snapback] Never said Ashlee Simpson was any good.
Fartacus Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Kid Rock ain't going back after being part of that abortion last year. He shouldn't have worn the American flag as a pancho. That would have been the big story had Janet Jackson's boob not fallen out. As for Eminem, forget it. You think the NFL wants to take a risk there? Mike 231287[/snapback] Thats a good point. Maybe the city of Detroit will pull Boyz II Men away from the fryolaters and drive thru windows and try to ressurect thier careers.

My wife said "This show was better than trying to cram 8 artists in 10 minutes" (someone else mentioned it in this thread as well, and I said "Well, they were still trying to cram 40 years of music history in 10 minutes."
rastabillz Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Ted Nugent's probably available. 231314[/snapback] I wonder if he still performs in a loin cloth?
Alaska Darin Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I wonder if he still performs in a loin cloth? 231333[/snapback] He didn't the last time he was up here but he still absolutely shreds.
Mark Vader Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 That was an outstanding halftime show, definitely one of the best ever. Whats more amazing they only needed one person to do all the songs. Good riddance MTV. It's good to see a show without Kid Rock or Sean Puffy, Puff Daddy, P.Diddy, or whatever the hell he decides to call himself Combs, "singing" and grabbing their crotches all the way through their act. Also no 50 year old woman bumping & grinding with a 16 year old, and us having to see her nipple. This has been one of the few SB halftime shows I've enjoyed. Just like the ones with U2, & Aerosmith. I also enjoyed a couple of recent ones with ZZ Top, and another with Shania Twain. Sorry I don't remember which specific Bowls they were. Also that stage McCartney performed on was awesome too. Great job!!! Looks like the NFL has learned it's lesson.
rastabillz Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 He didn't the last time he was up here but he still absolutely shreds. 231339[/snapback] I used to be a big Ted fan back in the day. I still would put Double Live Gonzo in my top 10 favorites list.
