    Maybe they should have left these old birds in the rest home they dug them out of. Do you think they will ever turn the halftime back over to MTV cause it wasn't much when MTV was doing but since the boob shenanigan it has really blown since they have been dragging these old birds out.

    Honestly they really had to have drug them out of a retirement home.
     
    Re: The Who?

    These "old farts" are one of the most influential bands of all time. I'm not into their music, but I'm not so ignorant as to not appreciate that they laid the groundwork for many big bands that came after them, from Led Zeppelin to the whole punk rock music. I would hate to see you young guys scoff at the Wright brothers for having the audacity to take another run down the sands of Kitty Hawk.

    I understand what they have done and thier music is great but not sung by some 65+ bunch of cats who look like they are rolling up to a late 80's coke party. At least they were better than Prince and the Stones

    half time show was HORRIBLE! Who will they get next year? David hasselhoff?!

    And the commercials.... I laughed at maybe one of them. They really let me down this year.

    Re: The Who?

    How about making it a country theme, with Toby Keith singing "Taliban song"? Kid Rock and "American Badass"?

    I guess the show is made for the rich old farts, who can afford NFL teams and tickets to the Stooper Bowl!

    That shit was bad.......like watching black and white TV. They were great in their day.....but so was ELVIS. Those guy need to stay on the porch. For a minute I thought I was watching American Idol:):):) WHO DAT....WE DAT....Super Bowl Champs.
     
    Re: The Who?

    LOL yeah hell alot of the MTV bands don't really even play. I think real talent in instruments went out in the late 80's or early 90's. I cannot think of any real "idol's" of guitar's, drums, or anything of the sort for my generation. I could be wrong but I do listen to many different types of music and no one really comes to mind except for the old guys.
     
    Re: The Who?

    Poke, here is a modern band that has some "talent in instruments"

    <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: huntinaz</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Wasn't much of a show. I am not in The Who's generation. My dad said they were big back in their day. This isn't their day!!!!!!! </div></div>

    They were THE SHIT back in the 60's and 70's and even had a great hit in the early 80's (The Voice)

    Despite being that old they still sounded better than 80% of the crap out today - the Who was one of the FIRST bands to ever use a SYMPHONY and apply it to Rock-n-Roll

    They were absolute musicians - damn good.


    Can they sing now? Not so much compared to when I was young (I'm 44) but you can still hear the music - it was for the older generation....


    Beats hearing hip-hop rapcrap at a superbowl!

    That's funny right there -- they're rocking out to a song that is over a hundred years old! Yep, you kids know how to show us old farts how out of touch we are. "Modern" huh? These guys are trained in the CLASSICS, and by classics, I don't mean Led Zeppelin, I mean CLASSICAL...BWAHAHAHAHAH!

    Re: The Who?

    Artic and Cartman, I'm with ya all the way on this one, I'm 54 and I'd have rather heard the WHO last night, whom by the way I thought given open stadium conditions did a great job, than some of the trash mouth crap out there today!!

    While my post was somewhat "tongue in cheek" (in so far as I am certain these are not the instruments Poke was referring to). I think you may have missed the point due to the particular song I chose to post. I am well aware that Peer Gynt was published when you were still a boy (late 1860's right?). However, a high majority of Apocalyptica's self composed offerings are very modern.

    for example:

    Re: The Who?

    I bet you really enjoyed the Justin Timerberlake/Janet Jackson show, or mayber Brittny the year before....Please. I am only 30, and I would still rather listen to the Who than fallout boy, or Kings of Leon or whatever else shithead band they typically try to please the wives of football fans with.

    It was Pete Townsend who skated for this not Roger Daltry (the front man). Pretty flimsy explanation on Townsend's part for the "research" he was doing on child exploitation...
