aplumma Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 better him then Trump You are correct Trump can't sing worth a darn. Please don't misunderstand this, William Shatner is one of my hero's he has survived longer than most actors in Hollywood and has turned tragedy into opportunity more times than I can count.

Acountdeleted Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Drake... ...male duck... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ7_yh9_19U This would be the entire halftime show. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Monster Truck!!!! HH Yes, a great band and group of people but wrong venue and they are die-hard hockey fans and players. Danko Jones is a happy mix of styles of music and would kill it at a weekend like this. I said The Trews as they are Canada's biggest touring band for the past few years and that's why I said them first. And they filmed the on video outside out old office, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farsider Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 This seems like a phony choice and the "real" "surprise" artist will come out and blow the roof off the joint. No mandolins or lutes in sight. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 No-one else here realizes he is one hell of a musician and entertainer? Only those of us who have a pulse! His music, solo work, is akin to watching paint dry or grass grow. His work with the Police was over shadowed by both Andy and Stuart, the real talent in that band!

manitoubass2 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sting is talented for sure, imo its just a silly choice for the target demographic. And FNA, hip hop is/has been great music for along time! Dont confuse it with rap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12 Volt Man Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Gordon Lightfoot would have been a much better choice. and Toronto loves him. Canadian to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTHM Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I guess than that Perry Como is not alive anymore? HH OK I'll rise to the bait, I understand you are a musician and quite a good one I hear, however, I have shared the stage with : The three tenors, The Nylons, Eugene Levey, Liona Boyd, sung for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, and participated in the world premier of a work by Goresky to name a few of my musical accomplishments. (I have the signed programs to prove this as well.) I say this to give weight to my opinion of Stings artistry. Don't ask because I won't tell. These are over a beer at the pub stories not published on the internet stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I guess I'll clarify my point. If you have ever been to a Raptors game, you would know that the building is a bee hive of energy. From the constant playing of up-beat music, to the interaction with the fans, the NBA is a fast paced form of entertainment. This is why I have made the comments that I have. Sting is not a high energy, fast paced performer. His solo work is considered among the high brow community to be rock n roll, but in reality, he's the Perry Como of "modern music. i just don't feel that he is in any way a fit for this gig. Sorry if I have hurt any feelings. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Yes but the generation that thinks the NBA is real basketball thinks hip hop is real music and won't want to listen to a great musician and song writer like sting Here's a person who just completely lost any credibility in this convo.

fishing n autograph Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Why because I think hip hop is garbage? Or because the NBA isn't the greatest basketball?

manitoubass2 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Why because I think hip hop is garbage? Or because the NBA isn't the greatest basketball? My opinion is as good as anyone else's. Of course it is! But me thinks you might be confusing hip hop and rap??? Hip hop(even if its not your cup o tea) is highly skillful. A good DJ(a real dj, not that dood that has a playlist at a club) is insanely talented. And the artists are brilliant with wordplay and storytelling. Rap is like " yeah g stacks and stacks of cash/enough to smack your b... a.../ With ghost writers and computerized beats etc I dont listen to much country, but I sure can respect the skill. Anyhow the correct answer is the travelling wilburies? Edited February 2, 2016 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Doesn't that Drake guy have season's tickets? Should have just offered him to walk over from his seat and perform cause he's already there so MLSE would have spent less. Cause he paid for his tickets!
