Also agree on all these accounts. That solo on purple reign in the hundred foot sheet with his silhouette was sweet!
I do wish he wrote more... "meaningful" songs. His voice is second to none though.... if he starts making better songs, he could be the "next" Micheal Jackson. This was a good step.
Show was good. The addition of the RHCP was a little weird, but I enjoyed it. I usually expect a shitty halftime show, so thumbs up from me.
I'm not a fan of his music, but I wouldn't say he sucks. He is very talented. I loved this SNL sketch he did a couple years ago: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/82872039/
ebaumsworld is blocked for me at work.. but I hope that is the clip of his Pandora music sketch. I'm not a fan either of his music, but he gained a ton of respect from me for that episode. I lol'd a bunch.
I am a casual fan of Mars' music. Know the hits, nothing I'd actually go out and buy... but last night's performance blew me away. Kid has more talent in his Left Big Toe than I do in my whole body musically. His band and act was tight and well rehearsed. RHCP almost seemed like an anchor to the energy level. I am not understanding the hate for him. He exceeded all expectations and showed that old school R&B ain't dead yet.
Last years show with Mars Bruno was actually good. I prefer famous musicians like half of the Who or McCartney but some acts were really dreadful and deserved a massive country wide bathroom break. .
Real Music stopped in the 80's before corporations dictated you listen to whinny chicks and gangstas from the same bread loaf. Rare to find creativity....... Only Blues and Jazz survived. Social media killed musician creativity.
If any of you want to listen to a talented band from Britain circa 1980's go to Utube for Acoustic Alchemy. Check their live shows You cannot tell the difference from studio. Calm excellent music and upbeat jazzy reggae tunes as well. Everyone I turned them on to loves their musical approach because they are Different. Great for driving, cooking and other human endevours.
Black eyed Pees sucked Every musician in the country visited the toilet when they played their bridge
If Katy Perry were to pull a Janet Jackson a burning train full of rabid bears could plow into my bedroom while I'm sleeping, and I would die a happy man.
