The Who Sucked

[Twisted_Dawg]

at halftime. Enough of these old washed up rockers.

Bring on some young talent.

[Udokafan05]

Everyone can keep thanking Timberlake and Jackson for the pathetic haltime shows. Bring on some country singers!!!

[mavsfan1000]

Yeah a younger band would've been better. Radiohead would be my choice.

I think the SB is done with "young talent" for a while. JT/JJ's stunt cost the network like $500K in fines that year. You're probably going to see classic rockers for another decade.

They could probably do better then 1/2 of the Who, however.

[BlackSwordsMan]

yup they did

You're an idiot. Just exactly what sucked?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

You're an idiot. Just exactly what sucked?

The old fat dudes on the stage.

[Kermit]

Radiohead. That's fucking funny.

[PakiDan]

The old fat dudes on the stage.

Ok... so the 'look' was wrong? How about the music?.... which I believe, is what a band does.... They sounded great!

[TimDunkem]

I never watch the halftime show but I'm sure they did. I'm a fan of The Who and all, but now the band is just an old, shriveled shell of what it used to be.

[Pistons < Spurs]

The problem is that there is no 'young talent' out there. Nothing but individuals or groups who have one or two big hits, then they fade away. I5 minutes of fame one hit wonders. The old geezers they've been throwing out there lately aren't necessarily what I'd choose to see, but they're at least able to withstand the test of time and play songs that are considered classics.

[Cyrano]

Using aged rockers makes sense in a way. Zombie movies are very popular these days.

[Stringer_Bell]

For the lead vocals being lip synched, the voiceover captured the "live" sound pretty decent.

Bring on Taylor Swift and Fleetwood Mac so I can totally ignore the halftime show instead of even having a mild interest in it only to wish I could fast forward 15 minutes!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

The music was good the vocals were bad really bad.

Pearl Jam would have been nice. IMO

Longest CSI commercial ever.

[marini martini]

Yeah, I'm old and they did suck IMO. What's with the lip syncing? I can't believe they're still alive. They kind of reversed the phrase "say nope to dope", though!!!:hat

[monosylab1k]

They sounded great!

Except the parts where they were missing cues and singing like ass.

[mavsfan1000]

Radiohead. That's fucking funny.
Why is that funny? The best album in the last 12 years is OK Computer. But it would be funny actually seeing a good young band live at halftime.

[ploto]

Longest CSI commercial ever.

So true

[dirk4mvp]

They were alright. Then again, anything is better than Bruce Springsteen. The visual effects were probably the best thing about this year's.

[Udokafan05]

Is is true that one guy from The WHo is a registered sex offender? If this is true, how is he better then a flasher?

[The Reckoning]

better than the gayness brothers

[Cant_Be_Faded]

1) they're trying to appeal to older audiences
2) yes they sucked, singer can't sing for shit anymore, a disgrace
3) the who played a radio-hit generic set list, they have insane songs that the majority of americans have never heard
4) most super halftime performances in this day and age suck ballsack in this era anyway
5) I'd bet my scrot that Prince will easily go down as one of the best halftime performers in the 00's


We got spoiled after Prince. This shit sucks balls now
Just wait till Beyonce shakes her jelly filled thighs in a cyborg suit for the halftime show

And how many people watching are going to know or give a shit about that. Lower your expectation levels about 1000% and remember that necks and housewives watch and want to sing along. Not to mention the complexities of a 15 minute Radiohead set that weaves together songs that 99% of the public has never heard. Besides Karma Police and Creep, what songs would they even remotely consider doing that the public has heard of? Maybe they could cover Taylor Swift. And on top of that, Radiohead is the kind of band that would lop off their own dicks before they join forces with that form of commercialism. That's why it's funny.

[Spurminator]

:lol Radiohead at the Super Bowl. How about Joy Division? My Bloody Valentine? Belle and Sebastian?

[mavsfan1000]

They can do their own thing. Even if it isn't "hits". "The Bends" have some good stage songs. But you're right that they would laugh at the offer as how much they hate to be commercialized.

dirk is reluctant to give that album a try. what a queer.

[Kamala]

Ever since we saw Janet's titties for like a millisecond we have these classic rock type acts.

[mavsfan1000]

How do you know this? Yeah I could see that type of band not being his style. Not sure what style he likes but don't think these experimental alternative/electronica bands are for him.

Was thinking the same thing . . . and I don't even watch the show.

Pete Townsend was caught with child porn on his computer I believe. He claimed he was doing research.

Because they of course stand for wholesomeness. Didn't Mick Jagger regularly use to whip his wang out on stage?

[Bender]

you are probably thinking of Jim Morrison.

btw, I bet the Who now regrets penning the line "I hope I die before I get old"

:lol For a minute I thought you had conversations with the real Dirk. Not some screen name. Not sure what kind of music that would be called.

[Whisky Dog]

You people expect a great full set? It's a 15 min exhibition, and it was better than any of the soul-less pop and hip hop bullshit that has graced the stage before. Sure the Who are old, but their catalog is one of the greatest of all time, they spawned genres of rock music and are mind blowing musicians. At least it's a legendary band with balls, one of you cocksuckers suggested radiohead? Radiohead is what whiny, self loathing, confused gay People listen to while they curse their life and cut themselves. Yeah, nothing goes with the aggression of American football like pansy ass radiohead. I'd be all for just letting Trent Reznor jam for 15 min next year.

You mention Trent Reznor while totally dissing Radiohead? What the hell? I could easily stereotype NIN fans as fans that want to kill themselves and curse God and etc. But now that I think about it, a more upbeat metal band to fire the crowd up would be better. ACDC and Iron Maiden would be perfect.

I liked it. I like the who. Of course it wasn't perfect, but their getting old you know. Still, props to them. And the visual effects were wonderful

NO KIDDING!
Good grief. I got a headache from listening to them (no lie) that ended in a migraine.

I could enjoy Bon Jovi.

[timvp]

Never heard of 'em.

[boutons_deux]

"Mick Jagger regularly use to whip his wang out on stage"

Never heard that about Mick. Jim Morrison did it once.

[JoeChalupa]

I guess it must be a generation thing because my older brother sent me a text saying how The Who still rocks and so did several other friends. I thought they were great but then again I love the Classic Rock much more than any of the younger so called rockers.

Technically Staley didn't kill himself.

:tu The stage kicked ass. They weren't that bad. Sheesh! :rolleyes

[anakha]

YEEAAAAH!!!

Anybody feel that part of the song was lip-synched during the performance? Kinda wierd that they cut to the audience at that moment.

[mrsmaalox]

Of all places NOT to smash a guitar? Really Pete?

[clambake]

my kid said "they're more dead than jim morrison".

[Cane]

I thought the show was bad ass although Daltrey's voice was pretty lacking in the beginning.

They still rock harder than bands a third of their age and half of The Who are fucking dead - awesome that the crowd got into it as well.

I absolutely LOVE The Who, but I didn't care for that show. Didn't like the lip-synching.

You all remind me of what it sounded like at our house.

He couldn't take a chance on throwing his back out.

They rocked!!!

[JoeChalupa]

So did Jim Morrison. :lol

I am sorry, I like radiohead and all, but if they tried to play at the SB they would be booed off the stage. I have listened to every album the have from track one to the end and can think of 2-3 songs that would be considered mildly appropriate for the venue. As far as NIN, you can make jokes about the fans wanting to kill themselves or hating god, but at least the music is aggressive (dont know if you realize that its not a concert, its a football game). NIN would get the crowd amped up, Radiohead would put THAT particular crowd to sleep, confuse them, or just get booed off stage.

[IronMexican]

Whiskey hates people talking about how they hate shit, but he likes nirvana.


I haven't heard a whiny song from Radiohead since The Bends.

Idioteque, Paranoid Android(Cut it down), Airbag and Jigsaw Falling into place(For some of their newer stuff). Be a killer set brah.

[Drachen]

I am sorry IM, I like Radiohead, I REALLY like the last four albums of Radiohead (I like where they took their music, deciding to move a little into the electronic genre), but I will be the first to admit that EVERY song from the band is whiny. Don't feel bad about it, Thom can't help the voice that he was born with.

This is the Super Bowl. The average fan has no idea what those songs are.

Oh, the voice. I thought Whiskey meant the lyrics and what not.
You can't really say every song sounds whiny. What about Fitter Happier:lol

You're more likely to see Bachman Turner Overdrive than Radiohead at the Super Bowl.

[Slomo]

The WHO are one of my all time favorite bands, but they shouldn't have come out of retirement for that performance.

Oh and the WHO without Keith are not really the WHO.

[ShoogarBear]

Radiohead will be there for SB LXX so that 20 year olds can bitch about them.

[stretch]

they should get Mastodon for next year

We'll put it this way, of the people who could afford and would be likely to purchase tickets to the super bowl I willing to bet that you wouldn't find many Radiohead fans among them. As far as the people watching it on TV, IM notwithstanding, you aren't likely to find an NFL fan that is simultaneously a Radiohead fan. Nihilist electronica with a guitar influence just doesn't resonate with the average football fan, go figure.
