Looks like the Boss band lipped their performance...

[RobbieG]

Bruce owned this SB. He'll be forever remembered for that slide into the camera. A special treat for anyone with HD.

Yes they did put on a good performance even though some of it was lipped. I will put this performance at #3 with U2 #1 and Prince # 2. No one can top U2 for superbowl performance.

As far as entertainment, U2 pales to Bruce. U2 was great, but it was humdrum, no camera interaction, no personal interaction with fans. Go youtube both and see the difference. Bono is awesome, but never went to the crowd, never really had fun out there. Bruce was changing up lyrics, on the piano, and telling folks at home to put down the chicken fingers. That is a showman, the likes of which we will never see again.

You sound like Arnel's hardcore fans. Don't exaggerate.

[Lula]

and the U2 performance was after the tragic sept 11. remember all the names of the victims on the screens? very moving tribute. don't be so quick to discount the "show."

Disagree U2 is one of the best out there. Period. Bruce is a distant seciond. Yes that showmanship put down those chicken fingers and guacamole. Not saying Bruce was not good just not at U2 level. Plus Bono and The Edge can sing live, that's the difference.

[NealIsGod]

U2's catalog blows away Springsteen's (unless you're 55 or older).

I thought about that when I wrote that last sentence, but hey, I at least I have history and sales on my side to back me up. "Arnel's hardcore fans." LOL, please, never ever let me be that fucking retarded. When Pineda writes a hit song, let me know.

Why would you be retarded? Only place Pineda will have a hit song written by him will be his homeland. This also applies to JSS, Augeri, right? May I ask what history and sales you have?? just curious? U2 is the bomb live.

Oh I was just waiting for this.

Put up the songs side by side. Please.

I can only name about 6 or 7 Boss tunes, but at least 2 dozen U2 songs.

[Rockindeano]

I went to U2.com and they claim to have 47 hits. I went to Brucespringsteen.net and get this, counted 47 hits.

hmm.

Bruce has number one album now and I am sure U2 will get their number 1 as well later this year. Want to bet either one gets album of the year?

PS- NIG, Born in the USA had 7 singes off it alone.

How bout shutting your hole and sending me my fuckin Luongo keychain. Isn't 9 straight losses at home enough? I need that keychain goddamn you!

If you don't send it, I will send you a pair of my smelly skidmarked underwear airtight in a ziplog bag.

I like U2 a lot but The Edge "singing" isn't something I'd brag about, live or not.

They're completely different so beyond comparing the SB shows its tough to go there. I will say I get tired of U2's music before Bruce because a lot of U2 is designed to be radio friendly as opposed to having soul touching meaning.

U2 does have some deep stuff but to get there requires more production because they rely on a lot of sound effects.

Springsteen's able to convey emotion with simpler lyrics and music. I had more fun watching Bruce than U2 because the tone of the show. I enjoyed the songs and got some laughs along the way.

Completely unrelated, a4p... but is that a urinal in your avatar?

[artist4perry]

It is considered "Art". By a famous Artist named Duchamp............ Is it art? Is what I ask, and has been debated for years since ...............Kinda like you, he liked to challenge the status quo...........

Fountain is a 1917 work by Marcel Duchamp. It is one of the pieces which he called readymades (also known as found art), because he made use of an already existing object—in this case a urinal, which he titled Fountain and signed "R. Mutt". The art show to which Duchamp submitted the piece stated that all works would be accepted, but Fountain was not actually displayed, and the original has been lost. The work is regarded by some as a major landmark in 20th century art. [2] Replicas commissioned by Duchamp in the 1960s are now on display in museums.

After much debate by the board members (most of whom did not know Duchamp had submitted it) about whether the piece was or was not art, Fountain was hidden from view during the show.[5] Duchamp and Arensberg resigned from the board after the exhibition.

[Ehwmatt]

Comparing U2 and Bruce is about as meaningful as comparing Metallica to Crosby Stills & Nash. Why do it? Very different music, aside from PERHAPS some political overlap.

It's a cooling & self-cleaning pet bed. Put a cushion in it, and attach a low-power vacuum hose to the main pipe. The cat/dog will sleep comfortably as the air streams around him, and the dander & fur will get disposed of properly.

You mean like this? Could have a use like that! Poor kitty! Just hope he doesn't want to get even when he finds it's a urinal........

No problems here.

Bruce sang live, all of it. So did Stevie. The band sang too, but had assurances to help. As a matter of fact, this may be the first Super Bowl that was actually sung 100% live by the main vocals. Prince lipped, Tom Petty lipped as did McCartney to a lesser extent. If you dickheads remember, one condition that Bruce made when he agreed to do this is 100% live or no deal. He said he didn't care how it sounded, it was going to be live. Backing vocals are semi acceptable in regular tours, and E Street does not use taped vocals of any kind, but in this situation, where they have to be up and running in 4 minutes, perfectly acceptable. The music was all 100% live, and you heard how perfect they sounded.

Not even remotely close to "lipping."

Try again losers.

Your right, it's not lipping, but realistically it's much more of a challenge to sing with a completely live band then it is to just get up and do a glorified karaoke bit, and that's exactly what it was. The music wasn't at all 100% live Deano and you saying that just makes you sound a bit rediculous man. So Bruce sort of fudged on his one condition that this had to be 100% live or no deal. It was a karaoke half time show with the bonus "tea bag" manuever in there. God I learn something hillarious every day when I'm on this site. Guess I'll be thinking about this now every time I'm taking the teabag out of my cup of hot tea from now on.

Horse shit. That band plays live better than any in music. So the NFL had some measures in place to offer up a more steady sound. You can't fault any artist for that. That is just impossible to have a 22 piece band take the stage in 4 minutes including set up. I am ok with it. All 5 guitars were powered on, although I am sure Patti and Suzie's were not as loud. IMO, Steven and Nils provided the real guitar sound. Max did play, and so were the pianos. The horns were live. It's all good. No excuses to be made. Your argument about playing live is correct, but that would be more appropriately directed to a band that perhaps struggles live. This band can do this shit better than any band. They played over 150 songs live last tour. Think about that- 150 different songs. They know their shit.

More importantly, and I think about this literally at work every night. Did you ever get that rotten shell fish smell out of your old ladies mouth? I told you how best to go about that procedure. Just stick it in there.

You don't want to go there buddy. Your signature is the picture of a lipper. He lipped his lame joke for a song Every Generation all tour long. You need proof? Good because I don't have it, but I do know.
