Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

[MJZiggy]

Who was that guitarist..that sure wasn't mike campbell unless he changed his hair and got a face lift.

Ha - yes, that was Campbell.

FYI, there will be a new album from Mudcrutch in April, I believe.

Prince is a great performer, no doubt.

Petty is a great American songwriter. That's why he was chosen, and the choice was very appropriate for the event.

You are sure that the guy doing the solos was campbell. He looked 20 years younger than the rest of the band. I've seen petty numerous times...all the way back in the mid eighties...friends with the howie's younger brother...and that didn't even look like campbell.

I'm not saying you are wrong...but, i need some proof.

Maybe they wouldn't let him out of the nursing home for the event?

Tom Petty is PRIMO!

I'm a huge fan of his work.

John Mellancamp was just in Montreal (Saturday Night) and I couldn't get tickets. Double DAMN! Tom Cochrane abnd his band Red Rider fronted for John Mellancamp and his amazing band.

That's like way over the top too much to lose. Mellancamp is way too good not to see in my lifetime. It was so close to a reality but I heard of it too late. Hard to get tickets here as there are too many connected people (insiders).

I'm just a lowly Maritimes. Lost in this wrangshangled place, Haha.

I'm amazed that anyone over teenybopper age would find Prince 'awesome'.
Just me, but I thought his show - and music - was both pompous and mediocre simultaneously.

[woodbuck27]

Prince was a better halftime show than Petty. No knock on Petty, I just thought that Prince's show was that good.

I've never seen Prince, but he really kicked ass the one time I watched him (at the SB)



As far as the Petty performance, that guitar thing looked like a giant penis. I know it's been mentioned, but you guys had to of seen that, right?

My wife said I think everything is a giant penis so maybe it was just me and a couple other pervs.

Prince always kicks ass! An amazing performer. It's too obvious 'in your face' that man's talent.

Yeah, those insiders must snapped up 10,000 tickets.

Ever hear of the internet. You go the website www.centrebell.com and you see what concerts are playing.

It just shows that you really know very little about music or the people's taste.

What is amazing in you having the balls to actually question people liking prince.

Has 11 # 1's, 22 top ten hits, has 4 grammies, Inducted into the hall of fame in 2004.

Yeah, he must really suck to have released an album when he was 20 on a major label that he wrote and played all 27 instruments, BACK IN 1978.

Oh, and that little movie he did that won an academy award. Prince simultaneously held the spots #1 film, #1 single, and #1 album in the US..24 weeks for the album at #1. Some little album RS calls one of the top 100 of all time.

Or those groups/artists he formed that were huge like THE TIME (4 albums with Prince writing and performing all instruments and backing vocals), Vanity Six, Apollonia, Sheila E, etc.

Or the long list of artists that have recorded his work..Bangles (manic monday), Chaka Khan (i feel for you), Tom Jones (kiss), Sinead (nothing compares 2 u) or Mitch Ryder (when you were mine), or Kate bush.

Or 1999 which addressed nuclear proliferation.

Or Darling Nikki which spurred the whole PRMC.

Or the Musicology tour which grossed 87 million. Yep, 25 later and he still has the top grossing tour.

Or winning a webby for his innovative use of the internet. First artist to release and entire album on the net.

Or winning a grammy/golden globe for "Song of the heart" for Happy Feat the movie.

Or SOMEBODY WHO REALLY KNOWS MUSIC LIKE MILES DAVIS WHO proclaimed Prince to be "the most exciting artist of his time," and that "he could be another Duke Ellington."

Chill Bigguns! Don't go crackin' on gramps like that. All dudes over 55 are entitled to make wild remarks about music. Just let 'em be.

If they are over 55 then they should be smart enough not to say stupid shit like they are amazed that anyone but teenyboppers would like prince.

I go in reverse. I let things slide from children. Adults have to have some accountability.

Prince is certainly no Bobby Vinton.

1. Way wrong! After all, I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
2. Actually, that required little cahone effort. I question EVERYTHING : why the sky is blue, why fools fall in love, why Prince Albert is in a can, why that Kansas tornado didn't finish the job on Hillary when it dropped Dorothy's house, and lots more!

Ty : How good were your seats at the Hannah Montana concert? Did the body double thing bother you? How was her hair?

my youngest brother is a 34 year old white guy from MN who loves Prince.

I remember my other brother used to say, "Jim's sweet on Prince." My youngest brother has a tight ass and a thin moustache.

Iron Mike would like to see Clarence Carter do the SB halftime show.

I like you, Ty (in a special manly way).
I was trying to get a rise out of you, and you responded with an admirable sense of humor.
Well done!
