BigStewMan Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 didn't see it; but, dylan didn't never really sound "good." but he is hands down, the best song writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Traveler Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I saw a few songs....I thought the Eminim and Rhianna song was cool, but even in as good of shape Mick was in I felt uncomfortable watching him strut around the stage and the monotony of the tribute song really didn't help things, imo.

BigCliff Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Dylan sounds like crap That is an understatement, he was terrible. Mick Jagger did a fine job considering he is 67 and still Rockin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill H. Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 They all need to crawl back into what ever Egg they came from.................Junk, Except for Mic...............but it also made me uncomfortable........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Award shows are pretty much a waste of time. Grammys, Oscars, People's Choice, MTV Music Awards - I ignore them all. Quick read in the next day's paper will tell you all you need to know (and even that's not really important). I can think of only one time in the last 20 years that I ever regretted not tuning in to one of these.....and I could watch the tape of that instance after the fact.

Zen Traveler Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 i hear ya--it was either the grammy's or a root canal--seeing poor ole bob dylan (who i like) was much more painful. That's EXACTLY what I thought about Jagger. You can't be too old to rock-n-roll but with the introduction of High Def TV it should give one pause to what their performance is going to look like when they are on a 65" screen....Then again, when MTV came out I thought the same thing when I found out what some of my favorite rockers looked like and dicovered the phrase, "rock star ugly" (meaning a beautiful song can change whats in the eyes of the beholder ;-).

jacksonbart Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 You look at Mick Jagger and the Stones or Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, etc and you wonder do they make Rock music like that anymore? I because its been already made. I mean I wouldn't pay to see the Stones now, but I still listen to their music. In terms of Rock its just does not seem that bands or the music has longevity. There are very few 90s grunge music that I can still listen too, but Led Zepplin, Rush, Pink Floyd, original Genesis (with PG), I still enjoy em. Will any artist that is still producing music today be going or relavent in 20 years even? I would guess technology and the reduced costs that now even small bands can get their music published and the on-line digitial music craze has alot to do with it, so much more one hit wonders.

BigStewMan Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'd guess the average age of Klipschers here exceeds 40? I think you're right. I believe that those in our age group actively listen to the music. I listen to Steve Howe or Brian May play the guitar, or Rick Wakeman play the piano, the Temperance Seven (all eight of them) and truly appreciate their talent. I grew up on rock and love it; but, put on some tommy dorsey and i enjoy it too. is that 20-year old blasting the rap music doing that? i understand they want that heavy, pounding beat to dance; but, can't imagine someone sitting home, putting on some rap, and admiring the musical talent of the artist. maybe they do; but, i think it's more of a social connecting point for that generation rather than music appreciation. **Steve** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ann and Nancy Wilson, with their band Heart, are doing a North American tour at the moment. They were interviewed on CBC Radio the other day and grumbled that female entertainers nowadays are practically pole dancing, because it seems to be expected. When I watched Rihanna at the Grammys, I could see what they meant. Tina Turner had some hot moves, but she was always classy. That idea seems to escape some of the younger women. As well, when Chris Brown sang on SNL last Saturday, my first thought was that his lyrics were a spoof, like when Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake sang Dick in a Box, but no, he was spelling out what he'd do to his girl at 3 am with no sense of irony. Maybe women like more explicit lyrics these days, but sung as a love song, it just sounded rude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
