FC/OT: NFL & Pepsi starting the halftime show hype…

Maybe Kirk Hammett could teach Keith something other than a blues scale.

And more stupid stuff that Keith has said.
On Zeppelin - “As a band, I felt aptly named, it never took off for me musically,”

“I love Jimmy Page, but as a band, no, with John Bonham thundering down the highway in an uncontrolled 18-wheeler. He had cornered the market there. Jimmy is a brilliant player. But I always felt there was something a little hollow about it, you know?”

I'd rather get a sharp stick in the eye than to have listen to much Zep. And there is nothing easier than metal, which is why every bar band on the planet can play it.

Keith Richards was a master riff writer. In terms of pure guitar playing, he doesn't even come close to Kirk Hammett (and I don't like Metallica at all).

Every single member of Zeppelin was a better musician than their Stones counterpart.

Bottom line. Keith should talk less.

If I were to make a list of my twenty favorite guitar players, Keith wouldn't be on it (neither would Jimmy Page)- but he's a serious musicologist, and his opinions have weight.

And if you don't realize how good Charlie Watts was, I don't know why you're posting on the subject.

Ha! Charlie was a great drummer, but not better than Bonham.
I've played with better drummers than Charlie Watt. No hyperbole. You can find no-name jazz drummers that are much better.

I can only assume that you don’t know anything about Kendrick Lamar by that comment. He’s probably the most popular musician for my 21 year old nephew and his friends. And you’d probably find that through a lot of that demographic.

80% of the acts are musical geezers (sorry eminem). I think people don't appreciate the amount of music available to kids these days. They have everything available to them. Gone are the days of being stuck listening to your brother's Kansas or Boston album. Songs are released individually, they don't have to listen to an entire album. Sure, they miss out on deep tracks on albums (Mr. Brownstone), and will never appreciate the joke of Trent Reznor putting 99 3 sec silent clips before getting to a bonus song, but they have a lot of great current music available to them. You can argue whether the experience is better or not, but it is definitely more efficient, and gives the kids plenty of current music to keep them occupied. That also makes them less likely to hear older music. As far as these acts being old, they are, and the kids recognize them as such, if they even recognize them.

For the record, I don't find this anything new. I remember the spring of 2001 talking to a young lady and being told Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and the Butthole Surfers were the classics.

Eminem is still relevant and highly regarded. This was just in 2020...

Want to have the best halftime show ratings ever? Just show musical clips from Encanto. Kids will be glued to it, and so will their parents.

Ginger Baker would have agreed with that (jazz drummers being the best, that is), then reminded you that Charlie started with jazz.

Kids having access to new music more so than we did doesn’t change the fact that they DO in fact know who Em, Dre, and Snoop are, as well as a ton of other old artists. Granted, they might not know much about their history, but they know who they are. I can’t tell you how many times my kids hear an old song and say “hey, that’s the tik tok song”.
Furthermore, the nfl isn’t choosing its halftime show entertainment based on what kids want. Kids today aren’t consuming pro sports nearly as much as we were when we were 16-26. Just like musical options, they have WAY more options to entertain them than we ever did. The thought of sitting down for 3 hours to watch a sporting event is just plain stupid to them.
