marky Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Isn't Snoop guilty of capital murder? He drove a car in a drive by that killed someone? And didn't Dre's son OD off heroin? Eminem OD'ed too and pulled a gun on someone? And all these owners and players and musicians and businesses are only their because they bailed themselves out. No one wants their stuff. Hmm.

Rock music might not be dead, but it’s culturally irrelevant. Rock will always be an important part of my life, but I can’t avoid the truth. It’s a special niche, eventually becoming no different than opera or classical, as far as having limited appeal. I don’t think any genre ever really died, but they become a special interest. I can no longer use my interest in rock music as a conversation starter with people my age, the way I could a couple decades ago. The appeal of new rock music is very limited. You still have tons of baby boomers and younger people who listen to older acts, but interest in new rock music is a select few imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL wants a "show", not a concert, not 5 guys standing on stage playing instruments for 4-5 songs. They want dancers, and costumes, and props, and sets, and special effects, and a big production. Good luck getting James Hetfield to ride a big golden lion Or dance with sharks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we do know is "allegedly" his body guard shot and killed a gang member, however both snoop and his body guard were acquitted. As for the 2nd bold, you may want to have a few million dollars before you start that career lol. It does seem to help way more often than not...

Sure I would love to see Metallica, Megadeth, Testament and Slayer do a halftime set together but today I'm just being an a$$😊 I think music tastes are one of the most polarizing things there are. It comes down to personal taste and rarely are even two individuals aligned. That's why I think they should cast a wide net. Pull in a country star, a rap star, a pop star, a rock star, all in one show. None of it is for me. I listen to classical, 90's rock and pop, 50's and 60's rock, and some early 2000's music. I don't like rap (except for some early stuff) and hip hop. I don't like 80's rock and metal. I don't really like anything from today. But I would appreciate more diversity in their music choices for halftime and If I knew there was going to be some diversity I would be more likely to tune in instead of doing other things during halftime. Plus I think it makes business sense to try to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, even if I am never the target audience (which I know I never will be). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's hard to satisfy everyone's musical taste and accommodate everyone. There have been some crappy Halftime shows in recent past but I like the fact they try to switch the genres every year. I find it nothing wrong with diversifying your musical palette, taking a chance I found a crapload of songs outside of my typical musical comfort zone and I love that. An all genre performance is cool but it has to be done right where everything mesh and not sound like a sound clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hope they roll the ‘64 with the switches onstage at some point like they did on the 02 Up In Smoke tour. Was fortunate enough to get a spot as a backstage runner for the Buffalo stop of that tour. Actually had to run to a specialty electronics store to pick up new toggles for that car! Also made a million trips to Anchor Bar that day. Got to watch sound check which was awesome. Eminem was checking and Dre and his crew were sitting about 15 rows deep on the floor seats, and when the song ended Dre shouted out “who brought the white boy???!!??” and everyone cracked up. Slapped hands w Eminem in the tunnel, said whatup to Warren G & Nate Dogg while they were riding low rider bicycles around the empty arena. Walked next to a very angry Ice Cube while carrying some of his stuff back to the bus, his back was jacked up so he didn’t perform that night. Oh and no one in the production office would sign for Snoop’s courier delivery 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a nap during half time anyway. these days a man needs his nap. There's not much 'traditional' rock and roll coming out any more. There's some pretty good rock/hip hop mashups out there, but the music we liked in the 80s is as dead as Tawny Kitaen When the classic rock bands finish up dying out, im not sure what follows. As the classic rock fans age out, it'll be interesting to see how much of that music survives in the popular conscious, say, 30 years from now On a related note, I get a chuckle when I drive back to Buffalo and put 97 rock on and they're playing the exact same music that they were the day i left in 1988 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution Yeah I get it. I'm partial to 80s rock & alt, but still have a ton of vinyl too. my daughter has a turntable and likes the aesthetic of records, but listens to them from that perspective rather than a desire to hear Led Zeppelin II again. Her spotify playlist is a bunch of bands (?) i've never heard of. Most of it is OK though, just not what we're used to.
