December 26, 200619 yr 311 is a great band but prince is far from the pop crap that is put out as well anyhow, the halftime isn't about football fans - so get over it I was tempted to go to the SB last year, but in the end couldn't justify $5,000 for a pair of tickets, $1,000 for airfare, another $1,000 for hotel and then the other expenses - looking at close to a $10k weekend - no way I could justify that expense to watch a game in tropical detroit
December 27, 200619 yr im sorry but screaming into a microphone isnt music...and not to get into the whole what is art issue...but 311 at least shows musical talent, unlike AS, or SOD...i could deal with some disturbed or staind though... How does A7X not show musical talent? They can all play their instruments much better than anyone in 311 can.
December 28, 200619 yr i wouldn't go that far - sexton is a tremendous drummer and they have an excellent bass player as well you don't have to try and knock one band to build yours up - to act like 311 has no musical talent is crazy - i don't know enough about avenged sevenfold to really comment

A7X is a sick band that is blessed with alot of talent. they are already 10x bigger than 311 is, and if they keep up there pace, in 15-20 years they (maybe) will be said in the same breath as metallica.

December 31, 200619 yr Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, Jeff Lynne, Victor Wooten, Kofi Burbridge, Terry Bozzio, Marc Quinones. Now that would be a halftime show. I don't listen to Prince much, but I do know he is a great guitarist. I saw a George Harrison tribute where a bunch of artists played While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Prince played a ROCKIN' (!!!!!!) solo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ND7wSZj-L0 (it starts around 3:30) That's enough to gain my interest, fruity attire or not.
January 1, 200719 yr I'm laughing hard at all these bands mentioned who wouldn't even be considered for a Superbowl half-time and the debate over who is fruity or not. Wow.
