Members tlbonehead Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 well, springsteen teabagging the camera was hilarious.that was kinda lame but I thought his show was fine. TP and Prince were both top-notch. McCartney was pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brianeharmonjr Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 I liked it. Me too. Especially Roger. I thought he particularly killed it, and Zak's target cymbals were bad ass to the extreme. Didn't help my Vibro-King GAS either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metalrulez Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 I am no Who fan but the little bit I seen of the 1/2 time show was painful to say the least. No boobs or wardrobe malfunctions and I have heard better sounds coming out of a bathroom then the band produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, get yourself {censored}ed. What makes them "real musicians" anymore, and what makes a "real gig" or the size of an audience important? If they put Lil Wayne on that same stage, would that make him a "real musician" playing a "real gig?" People have opinions. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members unworthy Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 I liked it. Townsend's screw up on the harmonies was proof positive that they didn't lip-sync, but I wouldn't be shocked if some select elements were canned. Daltry didn't do too bad for an old guy singing the same stuff he sang 40 years ago. Some alert viewers noted that PT's movements weren't perfectly in sync, but there were two guitars on stage. PT's guitar work was much more sophisticated than the original recordings and the light show was ridiculously cool! Everyone's whining about them being another "geriatric" band, but who would you rather see? Daughtry? Gimme a freakin' break. I'll take a legend any day.

Members Dandy Don Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 It was obvious to me that this was a terrible performance! The vocals were sad and Pete sure didn't show me anything!! The drummer did a great job but beyond that it the band on most every level just didn't cut it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bruto Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 It was ok. The stage was, in fact, extremely cool. Pete played ok, but could barely sing, and Roger sang alright considering he's 65. And it did seem like there was too much sequencing and not enough actual instrument playing. When I heard the announcement about The Who playing the Superbowl Halftime Show, I really wondered how that decision got made. I would have gone with something more middle-America like Chicago, Huey Louis, or John Mellencamp. Still, even those are old acts. Isn't there anyone young who can draw a crowd without Autotuned vocals or being too obscene for a halftime show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dangordan Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 The more of a professional working musician you are the less critical you are of fellow musicians. This reminds me of what I'll be hearing all day at the office tomorrow from those who have never even played college football but would have made better coaching decisions than those with a lifetime of experience in the sport. In both music and sports, those who can't do are the expert critics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jim_Soloway Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 I'm 57 years old and every one who's performed at the Superbowl lately (except for Prince) has been older than me. That's ridiculous. I think they should forget Geezer rock and use frisbee catching dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 All you little {censored}s need to wait 40 years and then post again in this thread. No one's insulting them for their age, at least no one reasonable. But hiring a band who isn't playing as well as they should, and takes a number of outside measures to make them SEEM like they're playing decently is just silly. Why not find a band that IS playing well, and fairly popular? The Who aren't exactly at the highest point of their popularity. They're recognizable, and people know them, but to dig them up just for this show is a little pointless. Everyone knows at least one Kings of Leon song, for example, or any other random band that's had a couple of their songs sampled in a commercial, is recognizable upon hearing, and is both socially acceptable (won't require editing, won't piss off any particular audience) and still playing well. Why use a band that's struggling to keep up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members curseoftruth Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Well, the Who are a terrible terrible band, what did you expect?You lose all artistic credibility when you sell you're generic douche bag music for a commercial.{censored} the Who. ??? Umm, no, nobody could touch The Who in their prime. One of the greatest ever. I didn't even watch tonight (watched the game, not halftime - I have now watched it on youtube and it wasn't bad all, Townsend's singing wasn't great), after Enwhistle died though, I've lost interest in them. And I keep reading "the drummer" - that is Zack Starky, Ringo Star's son and he is a beast of the drummer and has been in The Who for many years. And fail on the artistic credibility thing? WTF is that? So if an artist sells their work to make a living, they lose credibility? So Michael Angelo loses credibility because he took commissions to do work or Da Vinci? Dumbest comment EVER. You probably download and steal music because you don't think an artist deserves to make a living. A typical teenage, not knowing how the real world works comment. Go find and read the lyrics to the Tool song Hooker with a Penis, it will tell you how it is...
