I was trying to find a way to get into Bruce since he's so legendary but I just couldn't do it, I feel it was too lame- Bruce is past his prime when it comes to doing shows/events like these. If you ask me I'd say so is Stevie Wonder and alot of older artist. It just didn't fit in with what was hot or even relevant in 2009. 2009 shouldn't belong to any older generation artist (not even Dr. Dre - even though I'm shitting in my pants waiting for Detox). Since it was a caucasian event (every commercial was white even though 85% of the NFL is Black and the crowd was so colorful that night lol) they should've had someone like Kid Rock do the show or even Marylin Manson hell even Madonna would've been a more decent showcase (shitty but more decent than Springsteen). I think the old corporate folks just did what they wanted to do and not really considered what other people would've rather of seen instead.
^ i just thought he was goofy, dont dislike him, or have any reason for any feel any certain way, but thats is what it is, and i dont watch sopranos, but lookin at pics, wow, i almost didnt recognize, but thanks for the album info, im still at the tip of the iceberg with bruce esp with post 80s stuff, but ill def eventually give full proper listens to all his stuff, im currently in love with open all night, also wat did you think of the inauguration performance of the rising, i like the dynamic of bruce with solo guitar and the entire choir
I thought it was pretty cool. I wouldn't know where to start with his music though, it seems that people enjoy his new stuff as much as they enjoy his older albums.
^ ive come to accept that a lot of his stuff i have to listen 1st with a lyric sheet to get the full effect, only then will i be able to know all the lyrics afterwards, sometimes wether his voice or the music, i just feel like im not getting it all, (mostly his songs with a full ensamble). as for miles, that opening track of kind of blue got me in love, but theres a def kind of mood i gotta be in to just sit around and listen to jazz, or drive around, and i hate using it as background music cause all the elements are so amazing
I wasn't saying use I Wayne as a halftime show artist lol! but it would've been better nonetheless *i always put youtube links in my post*. I'm not hating on Bruce and he's damn sure popular as fuck and he should be considering how long he's been in the game and still selling out shows. But it just didn't catch me like I have a feeling some of his songs are capable of (I was feeling the Intro with the 'bad ass' guitars). And for the record, "highly" rated opinionators opinions dont mean anything to me, I stopped paying attention once I caught on to the movie raters thing like "best movie of the year" and "breath taking" and "must see movie of the year" every movie gets the same rating LOL so I can only imagine what they'll say about Springsteen. But as far as keeping the tradition with the older artist doing shows, I think it's about time we change that and put some fresher talent up there... I know they're just halftime shows but for the sake of good tv, it's time we move on past artist like Bon Jovi, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, and the usual suspects. I'm sure alotta people just go to those concerts just as a way of getting out the house (not to downplay it, I'm sure they have good shows too and alot of genuine fans). But like I said/// fresher faces = better shows... Much love to Mr. Springsteen but he should've just stayed at home yesterday.And don't use one of those corny ass commercial/bubble gum chicken noodle soup rappers neither... Little kids and young teens (13-17) like those records not the majority of Hip Hop fans and listeners (there's a broad range of artist that can make dancable songs). It doesn't even have to be just a rapper, What about a GoGo band??? (fastforward to 1:50) (EVERYBODY WOULD'VE BEEN ROCKIN TO THIS!!! TRUST ME) Even the older white people Especially when you hear it Live, it's so unbelievable- you'll feel it. This is an untapped form of better/more positive entertainment (MamboSauce is a good example too)There's more the NFL can do to provide a better and fresher show.*edited 11:42pm* on the Eastcoast
He was high energy and he just looked like he was having a lot of fun The epic knee slide sold it for me And it does crack me up the amount of people who never paid anymind to the lyrics of Born in the USA. Completely changes the entire vibe of the song.
It's clear white boy & shallow shouldn't be on HipHop forums. You can have a non-worldwide known band get on the stage and rock it (i dont wanna sound racist but you white folks do it all the time). And who said we have to have a "grimey" rapper get on and do tha damn thang, I know when and where hardcore rap has it's place (I'm not 12yrs old). I was simply saying that we dont wanna hear that bubble gum pop rap shit because you think ALL of us black people like that shit (and trust me alot of dont, read different forums or ask someone (any race, any age) in the street and you'll see). You can't please everybody but just because you think Bruce Springsteen is god doesn't mean everybody is diggin' him and his band. GoGo music is popular in more places than you think (NJ, NC, SC, GA, FL, DEL, NY, MA, for a few places). Every superbowl show I've watched always has somebody thats whiter than Al Gore playing the music during the halftime (even Prince), but the NFL is mainly Black (we shouldnt have to cater to ya'll because alot of white people don't like what we/everybody else likes, supposedly- demographically speaking). Like I said no bubblegum raps (use Wale or Tabi Bonney or Good Charlotte) and no Springsteen. Why wasn't Yo Yo Ma on? What about Carlos Santana and an RnB singer up there? What about a Willie Nelson & Snoop Dogg show? Bruce might still be selling and very popular but that whole show just wasn't doing it for me. Even my Dad who I swear can pass for the Whitest Black Man sometimes wasn't even diggin' Springsteen and he's all about good school music like that. Who are you to say I'm wrong about putting a GoGo Band up there anyways, have you even been to a show, they have shows damn near everyday and are always sellin' out (BackYard Band, Chuck Brown a LEGEND, Rare Essence) .... look for em sometime. Everybody love the GoGo when they go to a show and I aint just talking about my people. I'm hip to these white corporate execs tryna appeal to the Lou Dobbs & Joe The Plumber audience without everybody else in mind too. Everything clearly was showing that during the entire show, I wasn't even counting how many black people were on tv (not even thinking about that shit) until it was just real obvious... I think I counted like two by the time I noticed. But NBC and FOX and all of those stations are known for that 'view', I watch the news all day everyday... But like I said about the GoGo music or any music, don't knock it if you dont know what you're talking about, you have to go to a show (GoGo) to know what I'm saying, and not youtube! Because if GoGo music is an acquired taste then so is Springsteen.GoGo Classics: (women love this) (killed that chick on her own song, they made 1000 times more listenable) (umbrella) (Wale, GoGo Music, & Warren G all in one)and the list goes on...
