Reguardless of barely understanding the rules, the Super Bowl last night was fantastic.
However.... can the same be said about the half time acts?
The Black Eyed Peas, being quite possibly the biggest band in the world and having put so much dedication into their work, shocked me last night. Don't get me wrong, I like the BEP, their music is so up beat and exciting, and they make brilliant... recording artists.
To put it bluntly, their performance was almost tragic. The set was beautiful! However, not to sound rude here, I cant help but think the set was an attempted distraction. I would apsoloutly love to see them sing live, but live without any of the voice edits and sound effects. I think if we take away what makes them good recording artists we would be left with a muttering-and-out-of-tune-Will.I.Am-with-added-extra-shouting-Fergie. They were completely out of tune and out of time, infact it looked like they had stumbled out of bed onto the set and had Fergie shouting every other word to try wake them up.
I believe that the only honest act there (and not meaning to sound bias, due to my last blog) was Slash. Ecspecially after Usher came/flew onto the stage. Once again, I like Usher, though he didn't seem to really do much. He simply danced to his own song, maybe singing a word or two for an 'epic effect' Sorry usher, but I dont think people want to pay good money just to see you dancing, Fergie did enough of that.
All in all, im sure the performance will be rememberd for years to come, and hopefully Fergie, they'll fix your microphone.

My first blog
Seeing as I aspire to become a music Journalist, I have decided to dedicate this first blog to something musical related. So here goes...
The shinanigans going on with Guns n' Roses and their ex-guitarist Slash (Also famous for Velvet Revolver) is something which, lets face it, definitely won't be a win win situation. Slash is proposing that he'll rejoin Guns N' Roses under the condition that Axl Rose apolosinges to him.
In October 1996 Slash resigned from Guns N' Roses because he could no longer see eye to eye with leading vocalist Axl Rose, due to Axl making no progress in producing the new album and wanting to direct the band in a different direction.
Axl Rose has a reputation of being rude, incompitant and lets face it, unreliable to turn up to a gig on time, leaving the crowd dissapointed and angry. However, Slash rejoining would mean wonders for Guns N' Roses, having two members from the origional band.
Whether or not Axl will apologise to Slash is a different matter, seeing as the two have barely spoken a word to each other since Slash held up the white flag and walked away, we can only sit back and wait to see if an old friendship will come through, or if the only way to hear Axl and Slash perform together is on their album "Appetite for Distruction".....
