Sadly, Macca got the final say when he proposed changing the songwriting credits to have his name first....another humiliation! |

You've gotta be kidding? It was a fuckin' emberassment. He cant' sing and even though it pleased me to see him perform "Helter Skelter" of all songs, his band rocks out like Sha Na Na rocks out. The whole night was a suck-up fest between him and Bono. Those two are peas in a pod and if Lennon were alive I'm sure he'd have dissed U2's music as inferior to the Beatles by now (something along the lines of "egotistical, grandiose, Christian arena rock"). Kinda hypocrticical coming from Johnny, but it would make lots of sense. U2 is not the next Beatles, goddamnit! They are like the Clash lite. It pains me to see what kind of pedestal they've been put on compared to the true greats. Do we forget Dylan so easily? Ah well, he'll be back strong for those Grammy assmunches with his next album (can't wait, to quote a song of his).
Did you just put U2 in the same arena as the clash??

No, I only called U2 the Clash-lite. That may have been too generous. The Clash was brilliant, U2 is inspired yes, but not significant in the history of rock at all. I liked the 80s U2 but ever since Atchung Baby, they've been getting worse and more and more old. Them getting Grammys for All That You Can't Leave Behind and How to Dismantle... would be like the Stones finally winning with Undercover and Steel Wheels. U2 are like the modern-day Eagles; inoffensive, mannered, arena-driven music. And that's not a good thing. |

pug et al:
first off, when lennon said ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the beatles, he was referring to macca. it must be said clearly that macca was and still is a fabulous musician. or, at least, a well rounded one. the guy plays piano, guitar, bass, drums and, most importantly, has one of the best and most versatile voices in rock history. compare the sweet, melodic paulie of "till there was you" and "i will" to the grungy, vocal cord shredding macca of "i've got a feeling", "oh darling" and the like. like him or hate him, you cannot deny that he was a fine musician. of course he wasn't the artist that lennon was...of course i would much rather share a beer and pack of smokes with john and george...of course he is a putz for trying to change the composing order to mccartney/lennon and having a cash bar at his wedding...the list goes on...but the man is still an amazing talent. a pop talent perhaps, but an amazing talent nonetheless.
of course, his solo career pales in comparison to his beatle days...my opinion at least...

McCartney Snubs Sting, The Boss
Friday, February 10, 2006
By Roger Friedman
Paul McCartney did not like losing Best Album to U2 on Grammy night.
After James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt announced that U2's "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" had beaten McCartney's "Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard," the ex-Beatle got up and left with his very arrogant bodyguard. They weren't exactly subtle about it, either.
If he'd stayed, like everyone else, McCartney would have seen Bruce Springsteen and Sam Moore's knockout tribute to the late Wilson Pickett on "In the Midnight Hour."
The pair was joined by The Edge and Elvis Costello, with Raitt on background vocals. Unfortunately, McCartney was long gone by then.
Backstage, McCartney was pretty much at loose ends. Occasionally he'd leave his dressing room and walk up the corridor looking for a little love and attention.
On one such trip, he walked right past Sting without saying hello, at the same time giving his royal wave to excited fans in the VIP area.

What a loser!

GRAMMY’S: GOOD OR TOO MUCH HYPE?
" Howard reviewed some Grammy performances from last night and didn’t think that the music was really that interesting. Gary said that they got rid of most of the boring stuff that usually bogs awards shows down and thought it was better than previous years, but it was still a little long. Gorillaz performed with Madonna to start the show, Howard played a clip and wondered why people would spend their time watching a cartoon. Howard thought it was disturbing to watch Madonna because she’s in too good of shape for a 47 year old woman. Gary said that it’s like looking at his neighbor, but the neighbor’s kind of hot and in really good shape. Howard played a Coldplay clip and Robin said she doesn’t really get this band, which Howard agreed to. He said that the problem with Coldplay is that Chris Martin just sounds the same on each song. He then played a clip of U2 performing their hit song One, with Mary J. Blige joining the band midway though. She came into the song and sang off key and started screaming at one point. Howard thought that Kelly Clarkson was good and Gary added that at least American Idol trains people to perform live. Jay-Z and rock band Linkin Park performed together also, singing one of their hits off of their collaboration CD. During the song, they switched over to singing the Beatles hit, Yesterday and Paul McCartney joined them to finish their set. Gary said that it was really weird though, because Chester Bennington from Linkin Park and Paul sang together, but Jay-Z just kept saying things like “Yeah, Yeah” and “That’s right.” Jamie Foxx and Kanye West also performed, dressed up in competing marching band gear. Howard also played a clip of Kelly Clarkson accepting an award and crying through her acceptance speech. Howard said it was inappropriate, but sweet. "

As far as Kanye's performance went, he was never that good but on the grammy's he managed to be worse than ever, half of the time it was just some stupid shout off between the "gold-digger's" and "broke thugs". Maybe that was a blessing though, it kept his mouth shut. |
