The NFL hates American music
 

Pregame: Nickelback

Halftime: Rolling Stones

What the hell is up with that?

NFL stands for No ****ing Liberace, Mr. Bob Dole.

Everyone loves Nickelback........

I'm sick of ****ing Nickelback...

I can't even name a single song by Nickelback.

It could be worse............it could be Rush.

It's because Buddy Holly isn't available.

Oopsie.

NFL stands for Nickleback's ****ing Lame, Mr. Rausch.

They actually have a song I like ... I can't remember the name of it, though.

Has something to do with the bottom of a bottle. An unrequited theme, I believe.

Nickelback is alright. I can't freakin' stand the Rolling Stones. I think one of their members is a zombie, too.

Nickelback does their best work as "Smile Empty Soul."

Having those groups play means no chance at corrupting our youth and pissing off the religious right with a .65 second tittah shot.

Yeah, like there aren't more drugs in Richard's system than your local pharmacy...

Fax, i think that's
smile empty soul, bottom of a bottle

I do it for the drugs


nickelback has maybe one decent song I like their animal song

I'm looking forward to the contact high while I watch him on TV.

I can name four song titles, but I can't actually tell any of them apart.

February's game will be the second in a row that halftime entertainment has been provided by British musicians over 60.


Stevie Wonder lined up for Super Bowl pregame

NFL.com wire reports

DETROIT (Dec. 5, 2005) -- Motown fans miffed by the NFL's choice of the Rolling Stones for Super Bowl halftime entertainment are getting at least some satisfaction: Stevie Wonder will perform during the pregame show at Ford Field.


Wonder will play three or four songs during the pregame show before the game Feb. 5, Lori Lambert, vice president of strategic marketing for Universal Motown Records Group, told The Associated Press.

Other artists -- still to be announced -- also will be featured in the pregame show, Lambert said.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league was not prepared to make an announcement about the pregame show.

However, he said, "we would be thrilled to be able to work with Stevie Wonder again."

Wonder performed during halftime in 1999.

The NFL's announcement last week that the Rolling Stones would provide the halftime entertainment prompted an uproar in Detroit, the original home of Motown Records, which gave the world such artists as Wonder, Smokey Robinson, the Supremes and the Four Tops.

Detroit-area residents are fiercely proud of the city's musical contributions, which extend beyond Motown to more recent stars like Eminem and Kid Rock. Aretha Franklin's singing career started at the Detroit church where her father preached, and the Queen of Soul still lives in the area. Ted Nugent, Madonna and Bob Seger also hail from Michigan.

Many saw it as a snub that those stars were passed over for halftime. Detroit radio personality Mildred Gaddis gave out the number of an NFL official on the air and urged listeners to call and complain.

McCarthy said it was always the league's intention to honor Motown in the pregame show. But halftime, he said, is bigger than Detroit.

"The Super Bowl transcends the host city and even the country," he said.

McCarthy noted that the 1998 Super Bowl in San Diego featured a Motown tribute in honor of the label's 40th anniversary. Performers included Robinson, Martha Reeves and The Temptations.

February's game will be the second in a row that halftime entertainment has been provided by British musicians over 60. Paul McCartney played halftime last year, as the NFL sought a family-friendly act to follow Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" in 2004.

Watch out... Halfcan will be 'round to give you a beat-down.

"Look at this photograpgh....."

Yeah... generic rock.

It's funny people say all AC/DC songs sound the same too, but I love them. Maybe part of that is the nostalgia.

It's funny, I can't think of any new rock that I really like. If I want to listen to rock, it's usually 90's stuff. Nirvana, Soundgarden, STP, Pearl Jam, etc. And as far as "Classic ROck"... for me, it's AC/DC, Guns and Roses, etc. Basically the stuff I liked in high school.

Most of the new music I like is rap/hip-hop, or something that isn't easily catigorized.

"Keith cannot be killed with conventional weapons."

Which network is broadcasting the damned game?

Paul Tagliabue doesn't care about American people.

Nickleback is the reason I will skip the halftime show. Man they suck.

Blah blah blah photograph
All our songs sound the same
I've got gravel in my throat
Man our music's really lame

ROFL

perfect....it's a corporate event, the music they play is equivelant of
Budshiitzer's talking lizards...it is supposed to be bland and terrible..that's what American's want...

It's old but here's a link proving that Nickelback just plays the same song over and over

The 2 Songs Remain the Same

Couldn't resist the Led Zep pun.

ABC,other than who's playing the game and The Stones at halftime I don't have a clue on anything anymore.

Nickelback is absolutely horrible and to the dumbass who said at least its not rush, get real ya jerkoff!

Jillie whillikers, Mr. Pak1983. I admire your passion.

Don't let 'em tell you it's only rock and roll.

However, the pregame ceremonies will feature a performance from Stevie Wonder, along with Joss Stone and John Legend for a medley of his hits.

That should be interesting.

FAX

Aaron Neville, Aretha Franklin and Lil' John would be even more "interesting". :D

Okay, Mr. KcMizzou, I shall now display the extraordinary gaps in my knowledge of popular culture.

Who is Lil' John?

Are you thinking of Lil' Joe?

FAX

He's a rapper. (sort of) I was just kidding.

My turn... who's Lil' Joe?

By "sort of" I mean... he screams nonsense more than he raps.

Thanks, Mr. KcMizzou. Filed.

Lil' Joe was the son of Ben, brother of Hoss and Adam. Rode a paint and was a big hit with the saloon ladies.

FAX

Gunsmoke?

Edit* Bonanza... nm.

How about Halftime:?

"Too many Puppies". By Primus 1993

That'd shock them.

Insufficient information, sorry, Mr. KcMizzou.

Bonanza. Alternatively critiqued as one of the best or the worst of the long-running tv westerns. My favorite was "Have Gun Will Travel". No doubt well before your time, though. I was only knee high to a holster when that one came out.

FAX THE PALADIN FAN

Upon reflection, I do very much like the idea of rapping the National Anthem, though.

I'm not sure this has ever been done.

FAX

ROFL

I'm sure that'd go over like a whore in church. I can see it now... Kanye West.

Yo, whassup, bitch can you see,
What we be representin' on this hummin' night?

Check it out. Broad stripes and bitchin' stars, through the rumbling confrontation,
O'er the grill are we diggin', a shakin' decoration?

And the freakin' red glare, the big caps bustin' in air,
It got real last night. You know our colors was there.

Wassup, is that star-spangled banner still flyin'
O'er the land of the free? Come on, bitch I be buyin'.

FAX

The Rolling Stones won't flash tits? :hmmm:

As long as it's not hip-hop, some boy band or Ashlee Simpson, I'm fine with it.

"...by the dawn's early light (What?!?)...twilight's last gleaming (Yeeaahh!!!)...and the home of the Cruuuuuuuunnnk!"

Fine with anything but those? What about polka? Yanni?

Or this: And now for your halftime entertainment, Black Metal band HellVomit will play thier scintilating classic, "Sadistic Black Rape of the Virgin Daughter of Gutted Bastard Christ!"

ROFL Exactly.

That calls for rep.

Man this year is an actually an improvement over the crap they have had in the past. Stones are still pretty good, beats Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, and whoever else they have had recently. Nickelback isn't that bad of a band, I like their songs. Are they good as the great bands from the 70's and 80's, hell no, but nobody will be so.

Bob Dole would probably approve of the polka, and I'm not familiar with the orchestra you call HellVomit.

Does Hank Williams Jr. know?

I'm guessing he does.

Seen MNF lately?...

...Sadly no.

I like Nickelback.

I thought this was Aerosmith's turn in the rotation.

They don't want to take a chance on any of the other American artists having a wardrobe malfunction. :D

Whatever... more whining about lack of Mo Town. even though 4 Tops... Where is Micheal Jackson?

Folks
NFL Superbowl XL is a WORLD event.

Plus I love the Stones.

I think they should have had Ted Nugent, Eminemn, and Kid Rock. That would have been intresting plus they are all from Mo Town. :)

I know they're trying not to piss off the religious fundies and corporate sponsers but Nickleback is the textbook definition of lame, cliched corporate rock. Absolutely ****ing terrible.

Obviously folks here have never been to a Rolling Stones concert....'


Have them do 'Honky Tonk Woman', the tops fly off in the crowd. and the video screen.

I could go for Brad Paisley at halftime or
George Thorogood. If they had Paisley
then we could see some lampshades...

I hope you fiscal conservatives are happy. Now we're outsourcing the Super Bowl Halftime show. When will it stop, when they're playing the Sony Super Bowl @ Tokyo Dome? (Sounds a lot like 'Invesco @ Mile High, doesn't it?)

I would really, really like to see Vedera do the halftime show. :rockon:

I actually like the idea of doing Motown stuff. But I like Motown stuff, so maybe I'm biased. But it's not like Detroit hosts this thing every 4 years, it'd at least be something different.

I want Lil' Joe to sing "Yellow Submarine" with Aretha.

But he died.

Chorus - All: We all live in a little western town. A little western town. A little western town.

Aretha: Oh yeah, baby we be livin' there! Right now.

Lil' Joe: And we live a life of ease. We've got a big barn and Hoss eats cheese.

Aretha: Oh yeah, baby! Hoss eats that up! Ooooh!!

Lil Joe: The saloon has lots of drinks. Pa won't let me go. I think that stinks.

Aretha: He sure do, baby! Tell it like it is!!!

Lil Joe: I want a girl but Pa says wait. So I go upstairs and masturbate.

Aretha: Sing it, baby!!!

Lil Joe: And at first it was real fun. But then Hoss came in wearing a gun.

Aretha: Oh yeah!! He was wearin' it baby!!!

Lil Joe: And he said he would tell Pa. Then he'd turn me in 'cause it's the law.

Aretha: Gettin' down with it!!!

Lil Joe: So I told Hoss he was fat. Then I urinated in his big hat.

Chorus - All: Hoss is wearing a great big yellow hat. A great big yellow hat. A great big yellow hat.

the Super Bowl is great because they bring in rock stars that are past their prime; Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, etc.

NOt that I give a darn because I'm up getting beer, munchies, anyway.

Next year: Are-You-Ready-For-Some-Football At An Exhibition?...

Now THAT would kick ass,a laser light show to go with Tocotta perhaps?

why you wanted our national anthem performed by who exactly? the vienna boys choir? Nothing wrong with three of the most original, and talented vocalists\songwriters since lennon\mccartney.

I'm not sure I understand the first semi-sentence of your post, Mr. bringbackmarty.

Are you implying that I implied that these three artists implied the possibility of a poor performance of the National Anthem? If so, that was not my intent. I said it would be interesting, and I remain confident it will be so.

And what, by the way, is wrong with the Vienna Boys Choir? They are awesome. This Christmas, I heard them along with an adult choir perform Handel's Messiah and they were flat great. (flat great being vastly better than convex or bumpy great, btw) I'm sure they would do a wonderful job of the Anthem.
