MTV benefit on now n/t

[xmas74]

[baldguy]

1. You mean .... They're actually PLAYING MUSIC on Music Television?

:wow:

[xmas74]

2. Yep.

Green Day is on right now.

[tjdee]

3. It's a special occasion, ya know..

so they figure they'll play music for four hours or so...that's all we get.

[xmas74]

7. John Mayer on right now.

Growing his hair long.

[tjdee]

8. It was scary, when I first saw him I went "Jeff Buckley?!"

:scared:

Jeff is dead.... :(

And now they're playing a Jeff Buckley song (Hallelujah, remake of th e Leonard Cohen tune)...

[xmas74]

9. I know.

I was a huge Jeff Buckley fan! Are you one too?

[tjdee]

10. Aww yeah!

I love, love, love his voice. He is a major loss to the music industry IMO.

[tjdee]

11. Rob Thomas is doing Time after Time???

Awesome!!

Some of Cyndi's songs are so underrated. I love this song.

[xmas74]

25. I used to own She's So Unusual.

I'm still a fan of hers.

[tjdee]

51. She was actually a very disciplined singer...

I saw her on American Bandstand (way later, I think VH1 used to show them? Or something?) and she was telling Dick that she studied musicology (or something? BWAHAHAA! I'm on top of the facts!) and I was impressed.

[xmas74]

55. I've heard that too.

And she's a big supporter of Save the Music.

[xmas74]

12. '95,wasn't it?

Or was it a year or so later?
I remember how it happened and I remember MTV breaking in w/ the story. Seems like they never actually found him.

[tjdee]

14. May of 1997....

I think the rain made it hard for a while for them to find him...but they did, I remember they found his body on the side of the river or something like that.

[xmas74]

15. I couldn't remember.

I knew they didn't find him right away and that his mother was originally planning a memorial for him. It seems like they didn't expect to find him originally.

[tjdee]

4. Rolling Stones up now...

Singing??

[tjdee]

5. Are that few people watching? For real?

Wow, that black guy doing backup stuff for the Stones looks like Lou Reed!

[xmas74]

6. I thought everyone would watch this one-

especially since it will be almost all music(compared to a couple of the others). And the people on this one-it cannot be live or some nasty comments will make the air. More than a few * haters on here tonight.

[Kat45]

185. I didn't know about it, or I would have watched.

First I heard of it was on this thread, not (after 11PM). Things have been so busy for me lately that I had not idea. :shrug:

[xmas74]

307. VH1 is offering downloads of each performance.

They will donate the proceeds to the cause.

[xmas74]

13. Buckwheat Zydeco on now!

[bridgit]

16. love Buckwheat...

:D Zydeco

[xmas74]

19. They did pretty good.

I heard part of it before my kid starting yelling.

[tjdee]

17. Trent Reznor at the PIANO??

Holy moly. I haven't seen Trent in about fifty bazillion years.

And this song still rocks.

[xmas74]

18. I was silent for a moment.

I had to wipe up the drool. He's my naughty crush (all the dirty thoughts I have about him).
I read somewhere once that his family once thought that he would study to be a classical pianist-he's supposed to be that good. He does play quite a bit.

[tjdee]

20. He played Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar....

And The Music Man in the Music Man, LOL...I think he was kind of a band geek in high school!

But his hair is so short, and I've seen him at a keyboard but not a piano ever.... it was weird!

[xmas74]

22. Have you been to the NIN site lately?

He was disgusted w/ the relief effort.


(BTW-I love geeks! And I saw pics of his short hair on the boards when he was in Australia and Japan).

link http://www.nin.com/current/index.html

[tjdee]

Thanks for the link,

I for some reason always forget that these folks have sites and blogs and such.

Of course he was disgusted...I'm lucky that all my really strong celeb crushes are liberals. My radar went off for him early on LOL!

Thanks for the site--another place to look round.

One of the coolest things ever was he and David Bowie doing Hurt. Coooooolllll.

[xmas74]

43. I love him and his music.

* pissed him off hardcore. Katrina has probably intensified his feelings since he lived in NO for a number of years.

[tjdee]

56. Oh yeah...

I'd forgotten that.

He's so awesome. Is he still on the drugs, or what's the story with that?

[xmas74]

59. Clean and sober for four years.

Did his rehab in NO. No alcohol or drugs and looks like he works out constantly-check out his arms now!
Almost died in 2000-heroin overdose.

[tjdee]

61. Ahhh.

I lost track of him in about 99...good to know he's cleaned up. I definitely noticed that bigger body!

He looks good.

[xmas74]

62. I have always thought he was hot.

Can't believe that he's 40 now!

[tjdee]

66. Pearl Jam!!!

Woops, LOL, sorry to diss Trent. :)

[xmas74]

71. No diss!

Saw them live once and was blown away!
Great song, btw!

[benny05]

21. Wow--Sheryl Crow's ring is huge

Didn't see Lance though...

[xmas74]

23. I saw that ring.

[benny05]

24. Bon Jovi very good

I like the accordian accompaniment..

[xmas74]

26. It was a good performance.

[xmas74]

27. U2 is in Toronto now.

[benny05]

29. I don't see an audience

Must be a practice session for tomorrow, but doing it live for MTV tonight...

[xmas74]

32. Could be.

[tjdee]

28. U2!!!

Bono is like, my love god....and Larry's singing!

[xmas74]

30. I know!

One of my many crushes.
I never get them on actors-they're always on musicians.
Explains alot about me.

[tjdee]

34. Oh, I love me some actors...

But musicians are very, very cool.

[xmas74]

37. I like my musicians to be dark haired and angst-filled.

Drug problems and suicide attempts seem to draw me further into their web.

[benny05]

35. So Retro...

God, I felt like I was in college again. circa 1982..seeing Bono being activist on the stage...HELP as a head band on his perspiring brow...

Jealous of that crowd that gets to see them tomorrow...

[xmas74]

40. So am I.

[tjdee]

49. Yeah, it has a very retro feel--one of my favorites on the album.

And the message is obviously appropriate.

[johnnie]

33. What song is this?

:shrug:

[tjdee]

36. "Love and Peace...or Else". He changed some lyrics, too.

There's a line that goes "Lay down your guns...all you daughters of Zion, all you Abraham's sons".

He changed it to "all you ??? (didn't hear, LOL) and AMERICANS."

:(

[johnnie]

39. Thanks

A new song?

[tjdee]

42. Yes, it's on the new one...

How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.

:hi:

[johnnie]

46. Thanks again

I like U2, but there is always so much music to get between everyone I like.
:hi:

[benny05]

38. Love and Peace...or Else

name of the tune

[Jeanette in FL]

31. Fuck You George Bush, we are stronger than you thought

We are Americans, we are so much stronger than you ever dreamed of. This concert is awesome. Thank you Tjdee for directing me here.

[xmas74]

41. this has been a great concert.

keep posting.

[tjdee]

75. Glad you made it over!

:hi:

[xmas74]

44. Beck's on now.

Haven't seen him in awhile.

[benny05]

48. I know he's popular

But unfamiliar with his music.

When I hear the name Beck, I think Jeff Beck. OK, I'm friggin' OLD!:hippie:

Is he kind of a new Sting or what?

[xmas74]

50. Check out some of his music.

Seems like you might like it. Not really a new Sting but have some rather innovative moments.

[tjdee]

60. No...he's kind of...hard to describe.

He is kind of hip hop, in that much of his music sounds sampled (I believe he creates most of it)--but there are strong country influences sometimes...he's a very eclectic guy.

This was a very bare bones performance for him.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, LOL. But he's not Stingish at all. He's very Lou Reedish in his delivery I think....but musically I can't think of anyone similar.

[benny05]

63. Yeah sorta Lou Reedish

I liked his quasi-unplugged.

Some others are doing that too, which is kewl.

[xmas74]

76. Neither can I.

That's why I said not a new Sting but that he just needed to check him out sometime.

[tjdee]

45. Beck? Have you moved to Montana?

Just askin'.

[xmas74]

47. I read that he's married now.

I think he has a kid too.

[xmas74]

52. Neville Brothers on now

[benny05]

54. They are great

Here's my hand...my brother...

[xmas74]

57. They really are.

Surprised that more aren't posting tonight.

[Jeanette in FL]

53. The Neville Brothers

Brothers

[xmas74]

58. They sound fantastic!

[tjdee]

64. Aaron has one of the most beautiful voices....

I was somewhat distracted, but they all sounded great--but Aaron has some kind of voice alright, just beautiful coming out of that big guy!

[xmas74]

77. I know it!

Your heart flutters when you hear him sing.

[Jeanette in FL]

65. Where is everybody

I don't understand where everybody is. This concert is awesome. I am probably alot older than most here (50). My generation stopped one war and I will continue to stop another and stop injustice anywhere.

[Jeanette in FL]

68. Pearl jam up now nt

Our Government should be the ones taking care of the situation, but it is you and me who does it.

[xmas74]

80. I'm 30.

And I thought more would be here. Some might be burned out right now.

[benny05]

102. Probably watchin' at other peeps' houses

Who may not have a puter close to the TV and have cable broadvand as I do

[blue neen]

128. Another member of the half-century club checking in.

I've been watching the concert all night, but wasn't near the computer before. :hi:

[xmas74]

145. Hello!

Thanks for joining us! Some incredible performances tonight!

[fameless]

67. Pearl Jam

le swoon.

[xmas74]

70. I know!

Saw them once in concert and couldn't believe how incredible they are live!

Given to Fly.

[benny05]

72. jeez...hadn't seen them in LONG time

good going..

Yep, our government should take better care of us, but we do have to rise to help each other too..

[xmas74]

78. they're still around

just don't play as many venues as they used to. Never really cared about the commercial success.

[tjdee]

69. Pearl Jam!

I love Eddie Vedder. That's all I have to say.

"We feel our government should be taking care of this situation, but sometimes you find that it's the people of our nation that have to rise and take care of one another."

[Jeanette in FL]

73. Thank you Tjdee

I was trying to post and get his words down right. That was it. Fuck You George Bush.

[xmas74]

79. And he would have said Fuck You Bush

if he thought they would have aired it.

[xmas74]

74. Eddie is always outspoken

and doesn't care who knows it!

Gotta love him. He still looks the same!

[Jeanette in FL]

81. Jewel

I love this song. We will be fine.

[xmas74]

83. She has a beautiful voice.

[xmas74]

82. Jewel.

Notice it's alot of 90's musicians on here right now?
90's music must have produced alot of libs.

[cedahlia]

84. Pearl Jam = Fucking Great!!

Love you guys!!! Eddie, you are my hero! :loveya: :hug: :yourock:

And Given to Fly is such a beautiful, hopeful song. That was a perfect choice. I'm in tears right now!

God, I love those guys!!

[xmas74]

85. So do I.

And his words were incredible tonight.

[Jeanette in FL]

86. 3 doors down

[xmas74]

88. Chimp supporters.

[xmas74]

87. 3 Doors Down=* Supporters.

[benny05]

89. Well, can't be perfect

still like the song...

[benny05]

Oh Neil baby

Voice in great shape..

thanks for staying with us, dude...

[xmas74]

95. He worried us all a few months ago.

[fameless]

90. neil young is my idol/god

[xmas74]

93. you too?

[xmas74]

91. Holy fuck! It's Neil!

Neil Young and Emmilou Harris!

[tjdee]

92. Neil Young and Emmylou Harris...that's an interesting pair...

[xmas74]

94. see my response above.

[benny05]

99. kept waiting for him to parlay into Harvest Moon

I see Emmylou is still learning a thing or two from the master..

[xmas74]

106. I know.

[TomInTib]

96. Check out those "old guitars"

wow

[xmas74]

97. I saw.

[xmas74]

98. Kanye up now!

[tjdee]

100. Kanye West--should we start a new thread, btw?

Gettin up to 100 posts...

This is "Touch the Sky".

See, he's so uneven. After all the guff he got, he's singing a song about how awesome he is....ah well.

[benny05]

101. Nah

More people are inclined to join if the thread is longer...

[Jeanette in FL]

104. Yes I am still on dial up nt

[Jeanette in FL]

108. Marc Brossard

Home

[xmas74]

109. Sounds good.

[benny05]

110. did he borrow one of Zydeco's percussionists?

like the weisanna sound...

[benny05]

111. great scream at the end

[benny05]

113. Melissa

W, are you listening? Four Days...mister can you tell me what took you so long...

I'm teary eyed..

[xmas74]

105. No new thread!

let's keep this going forever-or another 2 hours.

[benny05]

103. Sir Elton

First time I've heard "Porchswing at Tupelo"...kinda neat

[xmas74]

107. It was really great to see him do this tonight.

[xmas74]

112. Melissa Etheridge.

She looks great!

[Jeanette in FL]

115. My child is gone

Okay now I am losing it.

[nykiera]

119. Me too. n/t.

[xmas74]

125. She's incredible.

[TomInTib]

117. This is some pretty serious stuff.......

special

[xmas74]

126. It is wonderful

[tjdee]

114. Melissa wrote a song and it's AWESOME.

Written from the perspective of a mother in NO...whose child died after waiting four fucking days for Bush to get off his ass. (Um, okay, she didn't say fucking and Bush._)

[benny05]

116. Hell of a song

W, are you listening? Four Days...mister can you tell me what took you so long...

I'm teary eyed..

[xmas74]

118. It's beautiful.

I have a friend who lived near her when they were in high school-says she's the sweetest person.

[Jeanette in FL]

120. Motley Crue

Yes

[benny05]

122. hard to believe

I'm used to their make-up, lol

[xmas74]

123. When I hear them

I think of the crap I used to do to their music and about Tommy Lee's-well, we all know about Tommy!

[Jeanette in FL]

129. Home sweet home

Tonight, tonight I'm on my way, I'm on my way

[Jeanette in FL]

135. Alan Jackson

Misguided but on our side now

[xmas74]

121. Crue's on now!

I used to rock out to this shit!

[benny05]

124. Viva MC

Long live Rock and Roll! :kick:

[xmas74]

127. Crue!

All that needs to be said.

[xmas74]

130. Brian Wilson!!!!!!!!!!!!

[benny05]

136. That was f**kin' rude

Brian wanted to do another song and they cut him off.

I like Alan Jackson, but that was RUDE

[xmas74]

139. He's probably playing still in LA.

They already had to add over an hour to the lineup schedule because of all the people who wanted to perform.
I'd prefer to hear Brian Wilson but I can understand them limiting it to one song (televised) per artist.

[fameless]

131. oh my god

brian wilson

[xmas74]

132. My reaction exactly.

We've had a few legends on tonight.
This is fantastic!

[fameless]

134. son of a...

brian wilson wanted to do another one. but instead were stuck with this.

[xmas74]

137. Gotta envy the audience in LA.

Remember, this is also on CMT. They'd like to hear their people once in a while(though I'd like to go back to Brian Wilson).

[benny05]

138. I hope they recorded the 2nd tune

and will show it later..

yes, we have to cater some to the freepers..after all, they are the most tight with their wallets, so..

[xmas74]

140. they said that vh1 will have downloads of some

performances and that all money will go to the cause.

[benny05]

133. he's a good soul

he's the kind to cheer you up...despite what's he been through too

He played in Berlin at Live 8. The women loved his music and were dancin' dancin' dancin'

[blue neen]

141. I almost fainted when I saw Brian Wilson on.

Wow. There is a man who has seen it all. He's a good, caring person.

[xmas74]

142. Yes he is.

[xmas74]

143. Maroon 5

[lildreamer316]

146. Liking their take on it.

They sound good (I hate it when ppl butcher Beatles songs).

[xmas74]

149. They do sound good

and I normally don't care for Maroon 5.

[johnnie]

147. Thanks

I was gonna ask. Doing Beatles.. that's pretty cool.

[xmas74]

150. It is.

not a band I care for normally (Maroon 5) but they sound pretty good on this cover.

[blue neen]

157. Whew.

I'm thinking that this version was a whole lot hotter than the Beatles version was!

[xmas74]

163. It was a good cover.

[Jeanette in FL]

144. Don't let me down

One of my favorite Beatle songs

[benny05]

148. Good cover, Sir Paul would approve

check out the keyboardist..

with a tie..:-)

[xmas74]

151. Is he supposed to be on here tonight?

I can't remember.

[xmas74]

152. Staind

Right Here

[benny05]

156. That's my understanding

But I may have missed at the beginning. I didn't tune in until 20 minutes after it started.

[xmas74]

159. Probably not until the end.

[Jeanette in FL]

155. Listen to these words

Help me out young'ins. Who is this. These words are awesome.

[xmas74]

158. For who? Staind?

[lildreamer316]

153. Well if ever there was a time for depressing Staind..

it's now. Love em but EVERYTHING they do is SO DEPRESSING.

[xmas74]

154. But fitting tonight.

[Jeanette in FL]

160. Thank you I was looking to see who this was

[xmas74]

161. No prob.

Good band.

[xmas74]

162. Eminem donating money now.

200 grand.

[xmas74]

164. Goo Goo Dolls

[johnnie]

165. I didn't know the Goo Goo Dolls were still around

They sound pretty good.

[xmas74]

166. they really do.

I just got so sick of what seemed to be the only two songs they played in the 90's that I didn't pay attention to them for a long time.

[johnnie]

168. I'm trying to switch back and forth between this

And the Ohio State game. I haven't seen much of this, but I did watch Neil's whole performance..lol.

[xmas74]

169. it's been pretty good.

[benny05]

167. Me either

good cover of Supertramp's "Give a little bit" :thumbsup:

That reminds me...what happened to Supertramp??

[xmas74]

171. Good question.

They haven't been on any Behind the Music type specials yet, have they?

[blue neen]

173. The lead guitarist added a lot to that song.

He gave it a rougher edge than the Supertramp version. It sounded REAL good.

[xmas74]

179. yes it did.

Had more-I don't know-feeling to it.

[johnnie]

177. They changed their name to The Goo Goo Dolls...LOL n/t

[xmas74]

170. Go John Mellencamp (still want to say Cougar after all these years!)

If you can't take care of poor people...

You tell 'em!

[benny05]

172. Mellencamp

"If we can't take care of the poor people..we are all sunk."

Walk tall...

Where's John Edwards...he would be saying the same thing.

[xmas74]

175. I expected him to speak out.

He's got a good heart.

[Jeanette in FL]

174. John Melloncamp

Couldn't stand him years ago, now love him. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

[xmas74]

176. He's always fought for the average Joe.

[xmas74]

178. Anyone catch who this is?

[nykiera]

180. Sugarcult n/t

[xmas74]

182. Thank you.

Not familiar w/ them.

[nykiera]

214. It is Sugarland

I need my eyes checked. :dunce:

[lizerdbits]

202. It's Sugarland

If you're talking about the song 'Stand Back Up'. Did MTV give them the wrong name? I just caught the end of the song.

[xmas74]

240. No-I didn't catch the name in the first place.

[blue neen]

181. What was the name of the group that played before Trent Reznor?

They were singing "I will pray for you." The dude on the left had on a hat that said Love.

[xmas74]

183. Was that Buckwheat Zydeco?

I've tried to keep up on this thread and that was the last post before the lovely Trent(yes, I still think he's hot).

[Jeanette in FL]

184. Okay, who is this

Words are the most important part of the song. IMHO

[xmas74]

186. Chris Rock on.

Asking the millionaires that got large tax cuts to give just 2% to the cause.

[blue neen]

203. Wouldn't it be nice?

Well, Jeb Bush gave $20!

[xmas74]

238. How generous.

:sarcasm:


At least Eminem gave 200 grand tonight. Already better than ole Jebby.

[xmas74]

187. Chili Peppers!

Under the Bridge-fitting. How many will be in that same position soon?
Great band live.

btw-strange to see Flea actually sitting in one spot!

[benny05]

188. haven't heard this in forever

jeepers...nearly all of favs on tonight! and with the best DUL's

:grouphug:

[xmas74]

189. Lollapalooza memories!

All night long!

It's been great!

[benny05]

220. Dave Matthews!

alright!

[xmas74]

237. Big Dave fan.

Seen 'em live 17 times total and met him. One of the nicest people I've ever met.
Notice what song they chose? They did that on purpose!

[benny05]

245. I've never seen him other than TV

My bro bought me some DM's CDs.

To be truthful, I prefer to listen and watch him live than on CD though. His stage energy is so powerful to watch.

[xmas74]

247. If you get the chance-see them live!

Incredible live performances. Jam band-concerts will last hours sometimes!

[xmas74]

190. As a sidenote:

I hit 9000 posts in this thread tonight somewhere.

[benny05]

230. congrats n/t!

:woohoo:

[xmas74]

241. thank you.

wasn't hard to do tonight. I bet I've posted nearly 200 responses on this thread alone.

[LincolnMcGrath]

191. FLEA from RHCP has Kanye West wrote on his shirt

Chilli Peppers sounded real nice unplugged.

[xmas74]

193. I always liked Flea.

And they sounded good unplugged.

[xmas74]

192. The Game

Dreams

[xmas74]

194. "No food, no homes, missing children

what are you gonna do to help them?"

[xmas74]

195. His lyrics are really good.

[blue neen]

197. That performance was really powerful.

wow...one of the best tonight.

[xmas74]

200. It was.

[xmas74]

243. It intrigued me.

I want to hear more of his music now.

[blue neen]

317. That's exactly what I was thinking.

...not usually into hip-hop, but maybe it's time!

[TomInTib]

198. I'm a 52 year old white guy and

that just blew me away.

[xmas74]

201. I'm a 30 year old white woman

who does not care for hip hop/rap and I plan to check him out.

[xmas74]

196. Sir Paul is now on.

[tjdee]

199. Sweet baby Cthulthu, is Sir Paul writing more songs again?

Is this an old song or a new one? The longer I listen to it, the older it sounds...

[xmas74]

205. I'm not sure.

You're back.

[tjdee]

213. LOL, my kiddo decided that she didn't need to go to nobody's sleep

just because it was after 10. Sigh. :shrug:

[xmas74]

215. Mine feel asleep at nine.

She stayed up and watched Holes on Disney tonight.

[tjdee]

227. Nine? I wish.

Nine is like a dream, LOL.
She heard the music in here and came to see what's up. She's still in here, but she's sleeping at least!

[xmas74]

229. That's good.

Mine will be up in an hour. She'll claim to have had a bad dream and want to "snuggle".
She's five.

[tjdee]

233. Snuggling is awesome!

:)

[xmas74]

244. But then she falls asleep.

And she's a bed hog!

[benny05]

242. It's new..fine line

but reminiscent of "Wings" style music

[xmas74]

246. It had an old sound to it.

Thanks for the clarification!

[xmas74]

204. Chris King.

From NO.
He's ready to break down.

[xmas74]

207. Song is What Would Jesue Do?

[fameless]

interesting fact

he played tommy johnson in O Brother Where Art Thou?

[tjdee]

210. *That's* where I know him from.

He looked familiar, had not a clue.

[xmas74]

Thank yo.

did not know that.

[lildreamer316]

206. THIS shoud be good...WWJD. n/t

[xmas74]

209. He's calling out all the freepers and the fundies!

Do you hear these lyrics?

I'm gonna keep my eyes out for this song!

[lizerdbits]

222. Is this song on a CD of his? I want to buy it tomorrow n/t.

[benny05]

228. He just wrote it and recorded last week

Perhaps it will be available as a download..

[lizerdbits]

258. Thanks n/t

[xmas74]

285. VH1 might offer it

if enough people request it.

[xmas74]

282. He said he just wrote it.

Time for a google search tomorrow.

[tjdee]

208. Whos is this guy? I love him.

He seems so sad, it's horrible. Something King?

It's called What would Jesus Do? And let me guess, he wouldn't sit on his ass like a fucking loser.

[xmas74]

211. Chris King.

I think it was Chris Paul King. MTV or VH1 will have the name up.

I like this song alot. I'll keep my eyes open for it.

[tjdee]

218. Dave Matthews...aka Hot Man.

BWHAHAHA! Why can't I reply to the thread???
Thanks for the name, everyone.

He's hot.

They're doing American Baby, which they wrote after this last crappy election.

[xmas74]

251. dave is so hot!

And American Baby is pretty much a war protest song. It's a protest against what our govt has become.

[TomInTib]

212. Chris Thomas King..

"and I asked myself 'Would Jesus understand'".

[xmas74]

217. Thank you.

[xmas74]

216. "Somebody made a mistake"-Samuel L. Jackson

Everyone is dissing Bush right now!

[blue neen]

223. Didn't the Foo Fighters actually say Bush's name?

I'm not sure, but I thought it sounded like it.

[fameless]

224. yea, they did

[xmas74]

225. They might have.

[xmas74]

219. Dave Matthews!

Sing to me Dave!
We all know that you hate the Chimp and love NO.

[xmas74]

221. American Baby!

You know he picked that song on purpose!

[xmas74]

226. Hank Williams Jr

[tjdee]

231. Hold up--did he say that this was an old song?

I was still trying to get my head around the fact that this is Hank Williams' son.

This song sounds eeriely relevant, but I guess it could have been written a while ago.

[xmas74]

232. He did.

He said something about this song could have been performed years ago.

[benny05]

234. Back Water Blues

Taught to Hank Sr

[graywarrior]

236. Love Hank Jr.

[blue neen]

I have a new respect for him after that performance.

Backwater Blues--great and appropriate song.

[xmas74]

252. It was a great song.

[xmas74]

235. Good Charlotte

[fameless]

239. Still to come... Neil Young

apparently neil is getting another song.

[xmas74]

254. Fantastic news!

[xmas74]

248. Audioslave!

Chris Cornell-damn sexy!

[lildreamer316]

249. That is a sexy sexy man. mmmmm.(Audioslave)

and I am married so I'd better hush.

[tjdee]

253. He sure is.

He is soooooooo dreamy, always has been.

If you remember Soundgarden, that's the guy from there.

Got a great voice too.

[xmas74]

259. Remember he was in the movie Singles too?

I have that movie. Sounds of my youth.

[lildreamer316]

316. Do I remember Soundgarden.Pshaw.

That would be a HELL yes. Soundtrack of my young adulthood.
Temple of the Dog too...........as short-lived as it was.
Reminds me of Tantric also.

[xmas74]

320. And Mother Love Bone!

Andrew Wood is missed.

[xmas74]

255. He is so yummy!

You can still look-I won't tell!

[blue neen]

260. Boy, I'll say!

We're still allowed to look! :)

[xmas74]

266. And he is definitely look-worthy!

[tjdee]

250. CHRIS CORNELL YOU ARE MY SWEET BABY.

Whoa, sorry.

Didn't know Chris was going to be round, and I'm a bit emotional since that woman kicked it in English and French. :(

[xmas74]

256. Gotta react like that to Chris Cornell!

Why do I have the feeling that our music collections look pretty similar?

[tjdee]

261. Probably, yes!

I think we've established in the past that you are me, LOL.

I wasn't too much a bonafide fan of Soundgarden, I liked Pearl Jam better, but I always dug Chris' voice and his hotness!

[xmas74]

264. I was a bigger fan of PJ too.

But Chris is too hot to deny!

BTW-if we are each other then you are also Khashka's twin (he says that he and I are twins now).

[tjdee]

267. Yeah, I think he hipped me to that....

or you did...

Or I did.... :crazy:

[xmas74]

271. Sexy Trent is on again!

He speaks!

[tjdee]

274. I know, I just posted that below!

I'm pretty sure I was unconscious for a few seconds.

[xmas74]

276. I know I was.

Maybe I need to send you the thread that Rev Acts and I started a while ago. It was nothing but sexy pics of Trent.

That man is a fine wine. He ages well. I want to have his child.

[tjdee]

292. I remember that thread!

After tonight I think I'm falling back in love with Trent a little bit. Of course my heart really belongs to Shahrukh and Bono, but both of them have been married to their high school/teenage sweethearts for like, half their lives. :cry: .

And then there's Adrien Brody and Jamie Bell, but I think Trent still has a place in my celebrity harem. He seems so calm, or grounded or something, now--definitely absent from his demeanor the last time I saw him on tv.

[xmas74]

298. For your viewing pleasure:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=3401422

Damn I love that man.
We need to have a Trent fan club here. It would be me, you, Khash and Rev Acts for now but I bet others would speak out.

He looked so hawt tonight!

[tjdee]

308. whee!

Thank you!

:drool:

[xmas74]

310. I'm drooling now too!

Check out his site. He's got some new pics of himself up, short hair and all.

[xmas74]

257. Chester Bennington

Let Down

[fameless]

262. i love fiona

this came as a surprise.

[xmas74]

268. I love her music too.

[xmas74]

263. Fiona Apple

Extraordinary Machine.

[lildreamer316]

265. She is the shizzznat.

That voice reminds me of the old jazz singers--billie & those grand ladies.

[lildreamer316]

269. DAMN she can sing!!!! n/t

[xmas74]

278. She blew me away!

[xmas74]

270. That's why I love her music so much.

She's has an old voice and an old soul. I adore her for that.

[tjdee]

272. Trent Reznor is TALKING?

I think I just fainted.

And unlike Bush, I do not think he hates black people. :silly:

[xmas74]

277. His voice is sexy too.

He looked nervous-doesn't like to speak in public too much. He kept taking deep breaths after each sentence.

[xmas74]

273. Allen Touissant.

[TomInTib]

283. "the same dudes you misuse on your way up....

you gonna meet up
on your way down"

[xmas74]

287. Truer words never spoken.

[TomInTib]

297. "The Way Down"

check it out.
Little Feat recorded this on several different albums.
Nails our current situation to the wall.

[xmas74]

305. I've heard it before.

It's a good song. One that I tend to forget about (quite a few songs that I need to relisten to tonight).

[xmas74]

275. The Radiators

[benny05]

299. they were good local band

remind me of a band you'd watch on Austin City Limits

[xmas74]

309. You watch Austin City Limits too?

[benny05]

312. Yep

Been watching it about the time you were born...it's been around for 30+ years.

I see I missed Skynrd with Kid Rock earlier, but will look for replay on MTV site.

The big let down of the night to me was Sir Paul. I know he's promoting a new album, but I would have prefered to have heard "Hey Jude" --something more uplifting and in tune with the theme of the show.

[xmas74]

313. That would have been a perfect song to do.

[xmas74]

279. Dennis Quaid-We are in awe of you.

[blue neen]

294. Dennis was very emotional.

He looked like he was having a bit of a hard time getting through that.

I'll love him even more now!

[xmas74]

306. He was on a few times.

And he seemed to get more emotional each time he was on.

[xmas74]

280. Neil Young and the Fisk Jubilee Singers

[johnnie]

286. Neil is ... there's no words

He is just a legend and a great humanitarian.

[xmas74]

288. You said it.

[fameless]

281. neil young

anytime he does anything i get goosebumps.

[xmas74]

289. same here.

[darkstar]

284. Holy shit I love this guy

Chills. Putting anger into it it seems...

[xmas74]

291. I bet he is.

He's probably pissed at the entire situation.

[graywarrior]

290. Man, he's intense.

[xmas74]

293. He always is.

Might be why I love his music so much.

[graywarrior]

295. We share the same birthday.

[xmas74]

301. A fine person to share a bday with!

I shared mine w/ Marlena Dietrich.

[graywarrior]

303. Ah, good one.

[xmas74]

311. Strong woman.

[benny05]

296. Fine Evening with Y'All

and perhaps sometime, we'll all be walking to New Orleans..

:yourock:

[xmas74]

302. I plan on it again!

I've been before and have always planned on taking my daughter someday. Thought I'd wait until she was older but I think it will be sooner than later.

[blue neen]

300. Neil Young singing "Walking to New Orleans" to end the show

with passion and fury. You can't top that.

[xmas74]

304. That's why he was last.

Hard to beat Neil Young.

Now I think I need to listen to Needle and the Damage Done-it's one of my favorites.

[blue neen]

314. That's a fantastic song.

For some reason I always liked "Harvest."

"Did I see you down in a young girl's town
With your mother in so much pain.
I was almost there at the top of the stairs,
With her screaming in the rain.

Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan
Drink up, drink up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man..."

Geez, those words kind of fit the Katrina situation.

I have to go get the CD out now!

It's been great spending the evening with everybody! :toast:

[xmas74]

315. You too!

Now it is time to wind down w/ a book and go to sleep.

[VolcanoJen]

318. Just had to kick this thread for the Tivo crowd

I work nights, and finally got home to watch most of it on the Tivo.

Thank you guys for describing it so well!!! Amazing show. Much much more than I expected.

This was a fantastic thread and I'm sorry I wasn't there with you music lovers live!

[xmas74]

319. Thanks for jopining us when you could!
