Why not Ozzy Osbourne foenext year?Comment -
There are a bunch of bands that would be great live. Bruce and Prince were good but they're probably still icing their knees.
Has Dave Mathews done a SB yet?Comment -
OP is on target
I vote Steven Wright for next halftime performerComment -
Music is pathetic now, especially rap, dance and top 40 type stuffComment -
to find good and innovative music you need to be into the indie music sceneComment -
Maybe I'm the one that's old, but I go to football games and baseball games, etc., to see the game. Could care less about the halftime show...unless it's the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band! WHOOOOP!

2012 Superbowl halftime show:

fergie sounded horrible....half time shows are not very memorable these daysComment -
ive listen to a decent amount of Kracker. dont mind it for what he does. but if you havent seen GD live its hard to realize that they are true rock stars. not saying there music is the best. but fans like them its an actual band and they can perform. which i thought was what you were asking.
although i did some more thinking and realized that the BEST band for the job would have been the Foo Fighters! been around for a long time. everyone know their big hits. they put on a show 2nd to none. have played in front of HUGE crowds. and Dave Ghohl is the cool human to ever walk the planet ( Jesus included )
or Pearl Jam. same basic write upComment -
How are Rap or Pop artist easier to control?were still playing instruments and writing our own songs in rock. and its still really good music. just MTV doesnt want it to be cool because you cant control a rock star like you can a Rap or Pop artist. and i think they wanted something from a new hot artist instead of those old ass people theyve been having the last few years. and something safe. cause Furgie isnt going to show her
because she is ******* ugly

less on air cursing. until a couple as of recent less rehab. hard for an artist to split up. ( generally they are solo ) faster song turn over. ( most rock artist dont put out an album but every other year ) fewer canceled shows. ( hard to cancel a show where youre lip singing 90% of it ) multiple reasonsComment -
Easy now. What about Death Metal? Don't try to tell me its about the lyrics.
And some music now is done for the clubs.
Someone else was talking about it all being computers. They are wrong. One Hip Hop group comes to mind that plays instruments. Go to Youtube and search for "The Roots".
Some others would be John Legend, Alica Keys. And I know there are many more.
Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean its not music.

Damn this sight might not be as young as I thought it was.

in all the shows ive gone to there hasnt been a single band that wasnt 100% performing their own stuff. no i know that several rock bands have lip sung a few on air performances lately. but its not their night to night routine. and i dont know why they are doing that but it needs to stop.
rappers i dont know what they do when they perform. dont watch or listen to much of it. what few ive seen on tv have def been lipped. and they all have sucked ass at putting on a show. they all know it too. Jay-z admitted it in rolling stone this year. saw Kid Rock lip a song in the playoffs and was very disappointed. because the show wasnt good and that happened. in his live show he makes it a point to explain they are playing live and the shows are really good. and the performance was weak but so was the songComment -
Next time it goes to Texas, it will probably be a Mariachi band. Oh well, at least it would be "live".Comment -
A quick search brought up a story about Myles Kennedy lip singing in a concert.
Jay-Z admitted to what? Who puts on a bad show? I'm not big on going to concerts but I did get free tickets to Akon and even though it wasn't crazy as far as lights and so on went. I thought he put on a great show.
I went to a concert when I was 13. It was at Parlee Beach in New Brunswick. There was a big list of groups performing. Milli Vanilli was one of them. We all know the stories about them. One thing I can say is they put on a hell of a show. Young ** was also there and did his worlds fastest rhyme. I'm sure it was because Milli Vanilli was there but he pause half way through the rhyme, took 2 or 3 deep breaths and went right back at it. The crowd when wild. It was hot as hell that day but I'm sure he did it to prove he wasn't lip singing.
I do feel its great for someone to sing when on stage but a concert is a show IMO. So because of that I care and don't care at the same time.
As far as putting on a great show. Usher is said to have great concerts. And from what I hear he sings in all of his. He had one that he had to walk out of because he couldn't sing that night. I think he was sick.
And there can be some shows where hip hop artist lip sing but I would think it wouldn't happen a whole lot. They change things up a lot, have other people on stage with them and so on.

Todays Country music is actually pretty good, if that's your thing.
I see Country music is selling very well also.Comment -
dont care about halftime show she should have worn less clothesComment -
The thing is rock music is better live, rap/pop is worse live. Nobody wants to see some hood screaming into a mic with bad audio.
If they wanted to go the hip hop/top 40 route they should have just put Usher up there because at least he can dance. The Black eyed Peas singing "where is the loooooove" and the first minute of about 5 other songs? It was awful. Their costumes looked retarded. It's music for people with no originality. If you like the black eyed Peas you are Joe Public and most likely a follower.Comment -
Bands i would like to see next year
Foo Fighters
Social Distortion
Pearl Jam
MetallicaComment -
I'm not a follower. I do like the Black Eyed Peas. I like Will I Am solo better then I like the group. I'm a 35 year old black male. Here is a sample like of artist/groups I like to show you where I'm coming from.
Big Daddy Kane
Usher
Steve Ray Vaughn
Common
BB King
Jimi Hendrix
The Roots
Tupac
A Tribe Called Quest
Alicia Keys
John Legend
Bob Marley
EPMD
Freddie Jackson
Teddy Pendergrass
The Gap Band

Thats just to name a few. I like what I like and don't care what others like.

it was an article about the baseball stadium shows with em. how hip hop has had terrible shows in past and its something they need to work on hard. and how he feels he has gotten better. but he still needs to work on it. ( wish i still had the issue so i could better quote and source it ) but i dont.
not saying all rap is lipped but i wouldnt be surprised if it was a semi high %. know a bunch of pop shows are. and rap shows suck from what ive seen of the new stuff. a bunch of people on stage saying the end of each line. sounds terrible.
can honestly say youve never really experienced music til youve been in the pit of a shitty rock venue ( masquarade in atlanta ) for a live rock show. best thing you can do in music. 2,000+ people moving as one to the point in which the crowd become as much a part of the show as the actual performance. its really out of this world.
man i can tell you really like hip hop and thats cool. i listen to more and more the more i go to the club and bars. but as far as putting on a show worthy of watching i cant see anything close to rock
o and didnt know who that guy was Myles Kennedy?Comment -
So tired of the black eyed peasComment -
not many "metal" bands go on TRL or are from vegas
i want to start a radio station just to make fun of these guys. it would be the slogan. "Rock as long as its not Avenged Sevenfold" we could have T-shirts and everythingComment
