Think that's a pretty harsh review tbh! Ok not mind blowing but what were you expecting?! I thought Liam sounded awful, the who were good though to close it out. I think the games overall were great though which is the main thing, some great stories!
in fairness, a dodgy pop concert cant overshadow what was otherwise a truly brilliant event. passed off safely & like you say, some great stories & i think an abundance of them. it really was great fun from the word go. i'm gonna miss them!
tv will be so boring & crap now. if it wasn't already.

Not sure what you were expecting. It was pretty damn good considering they'd never even rehearsed it before.
i was expecting something more than a dodgy pop concert, packed full of white guys doing dad rock.
given the creative, theatrical opening ceremony & the impact of the multicultural celebration throughout the games, the opening ceremony reeked of a throwback to a britain that really shouldn't be celebrated!
re: liam. my point was his presence. that, until freddie, he was the only one at home performancewise in a stadium.
re: the spice girls - i thought they were terrible. haggard old banshees who didn't have a note in their tiny collective heads.
the reason they got such a huge cheer is cause it meant an end to jessie j! (tho of course she hadda come back & crap on us again combined w/a frightfully terrible brian may performance).
re: muse - i meant they shoulda just done the whole concert. i don't care if that song is crap, almost all their songs are crap! they're still more entertaining & stadium-sized than most anything else there.

Holy fuck.

They shoulda just let Muse do the whole thing really.
Ok they've sucked a fat one since Origin of Symmetry but at least they're suitably epic, loud & fun.

Fuckin Liam. Man he's still got 'it'. The only one who deserves to be in a stadium full of people singing. He's been the only star of the show.
Bit rich calling it beady eye & singing a Noel song tho. But hardly the biggest crime of the night. & like I say he's the only one at home on such a stage. Quality.

This is really embarrassing, cringe-inducing guff. Cheap & nasty. It's not even funny!
Well it kinda is, but it's a really painful funny. It's like please make it stop!

Russell Brand, Ed Sheeran, Elbow... this is really bad.
Only the spice girls can save us now!
Rumour has it they're gonna have a Freddie mercury hologram. But even that seems a little too classy & forward thinking for this shit.

Think NBC fucked up so badly the Yanks lost interest.
I've found them to be perhaps the best games of my lifetime, the most entertaining.
I'm usually not keen on British shows but I thought their opening ceremony was really good: funny, warm & welcoming. Nicer than the brutal impersonal show of strength of the admittedly impressive Chinese one.
However this closing ceremony has been absolutely fucking gash. P much everything that's embarrassing & wrong w/Britain. Absolutely shite shite music & performances & cheesey rubbish. After such a successful games it seems like a step backwards into little Britain a salute to dad rock & tat. Horrible stuff.
The actual sport was just amazing tho. So so many brilliant moments.

Still makes me a sad panda when I think of the mess albini made of that stooges record. JW was the perfect guy for that project. Albini fucked mike watts bass & by default the entire record. The stooges were the funk band from hell but there was nothing on that albini produced crapheap.

#2110 Re: The Sunset Strip » Beastie Boys Discussion » 743 weeks ago
Bit of a pompous-ass dickhead move imo
Dictating to ur band mates from 6 feet under. It's unlikely but whatif one of them needed the money some day & they're supposed to respect the wishes of a compost heap?
What the fuck does he care he's FUCKING DEAD!
Meh.
Great band btw. Boring news week! The BBC headline on this is confusing 'Beastie Boys Star Will Bans Ad' I was like Will who? & why's this news?!
