How would you musically rate this year's Super bowl halftime show

[Blackrain]

Do people seriously believe Ted Nugent was one of only a few musicians who had sex/relationships with young groupies? Are we going to rule out all of them as worthy of live performances?


I disagree with many of his values, beliefs, etc but one thing I respect from him is his honesty about himself. Others hid their "dirty secrets" in their dressing rooms.

Yeah brother I listen to Ted in my youth still like his tunes to this day but never did a full-blown character analysis like Kwyn.

This I can say with some certainty that many many rock star celebrities have been known to have promiscuous social lives. Drug problems arrest records.

Although not an authority on Ted whatsoever but I did hear that he never did any drugs

Wow, you’re trying to justify him by saying others id as well. That’s pretty sick.

I don't think he's trying to justify him at all Rocky

I think he's just saying that if we didn't listen or watch any performances from musicians that had any skeletons in their closet or a checkered passed.

Would probably have to limit ourselves to maybe Donny and Marie Osmond

Lol

Justify - show or prove to be right or reasonable.

Where did I say it was right?

From an article on topic: In other words, less than two years before the release of ‘Jailbait’. When allegations of non-consensual sex with underage girls were bought up during one of Nugent’s live streams, he scoffed and replied: “Chris Farley did the same thing, Jimi Hendrix and all of them. Jim Morrison, all of them.” It’s that understanding of sex with young groupies as somehow part of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle that makes ‘Jailbait’ so disturbing. The song’s lyrics shed light on something everyone knows but refuses to address: that the most revered icons in music repeatedly abused their power for sexual gratification.

The bolded statement is from the author of the article; not from Nugent.

As I said in my previous post; I don't agree with many of his values/beliefs. What is sick is defending discrimination which was my point.

You didn’t have to say it was right. You implied it by bringing up the fact that others have done it like that makes it ok.

Saying something was common doesn't imply right or wrong. You jumped to that conclusion then threw in an insult for good measure.
This discussion is fruitless so go on "Doing You".

Actually you jumped to a conclusion based on …….

 

[Blackrain]

Would it be a bad time to suggest motley Crue for next year's halftime show.

Girls girls girls, home sweet home and Kickstart My heart.
That would be some energy at halftime.

Hey there's even a documentary on motley Crue that people could watch before they watch the halftime show and make sure it wasn't below their moral standards.
Lolol

 

[Blackrain]

Just thinking of three tunes I'd like to hear at halftime Fleetwood Mac would be very cool
Dreams, Go your own Way and Gold dust woman. But after Christine passing that isn't going to happen.

Then again I might be in the mood for AC/DC and one of Rock back in Black, thunderstruck and it's a Long Way to the top.
Problem is with bon Scott passed away who's going to do the bagpipes.

Give some thoughts on three tunes you'd like to hear at the Super bowl halftime

 

[ArtClink]

I could care less who plays the halftime show.

 

[Blackrain]

Def Leppard could definitely Rock the Super bowl halftime show

Man lol….a million can do it that doesn’t make it right lol.

There’s skeletons and there’s child predators. There’s a line somewhere.

I mean from what I read you pulled the “are we gonna pretend that no one else did it” card and then laughed with emojis. It did come across as justifying it.

Which is the norm. He's just jealous because he can't get chicks.

Absolutely. However "child predators" means that the perp sought them out, groomed them. In this case, it is wrong, but having secks w/ willing groupies is not being a child predator. Sick, absolutely.

 

[Blackrain]

Sometimes you're just in the mood for a slamming guitar riff

Pardon me for living if I don't do a full-blown background check and character analysis on who is strumming the guitar.

Lol

That would be some energy at halftime.

The point of the SB halftime show is to “bring energy” to the crowd that may not necessarily be watching for the game - like younger people, young women, etc.

Motley Crue might bring some energy to the 65-70 year old male crowd who listened to MC 40 years ago in high school, but it isn’t going to draw the viewership the NFL desires.

It is obvious to see why the NFL has moved from legacy rock acts to modern day artists. Viewership = money.

I don’t really care about the halftime show. What I care about, even though I shouldn’t I suppose, is how every year, hordes of 50+ year old people who haven’t listened to a new artist in decades (unless said new artist fits the exact niche they want to hear, want the artist to look and sound like, etc) come out in droves, pissed off that the NFL didn’t choose some band full of dudes playing guitar that they listened to in high school, and push this superiority complex thing.

It’s really the superiority complex that bugs me - “my choice in music is BETTER because it is OLDER and it features a PATRIOT playing the electric GUITAR. And that’s who the NFL should have chosen!!!”

I’d like to see a shredding guitar solo during the halftime show too. I’d love to see Cryptopsy do it with Lord Worm back on vocals, eating live nightcrawlers from a golden chalice as he did. But I know it won’t happen, because it would not be popular.

We might be able to get Metallica someday because they’re popular with the kids. Green Day maybe.

The Kid Rock show was an absolute comedy show.

Pure trash.

Well, this thread isn't long for the world anymore. Weird to see staff participating in helping it getting closed though. I can't rate the shows because I don't watch halftimes no matter if there's a music performance or not. I use it as a break.

Nah, threads like this somehow keep left up.
