a-guitarist Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I swear to god, if he sells out and actually tunes his guitar, I'll give up on music all together. Everything that he's done, that I've heard, was charmingly out of tune. He is the man. a-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I can't pretend to be a huge Springsteen fan...but he is such a drastic improvement over the slop they've been feeding us at halftime of the Big Game. No wonder the toilets of America are flushed so much during haltime...people are chunking up watching those hacks on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iusedtobesomebody Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 actual quote from Tom Petty's father: "Yeah, Tommy's a good kid, but he can't sing for ****." He writes catchy songs but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeSeeU Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I don't think it is about not liking Tom Petty, it is more about the BOSS being better! Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) is an American songwriter, singer and guitarist. He has recorded and toured with the E Street Band. Springsteen is widely known for his brand of heartland rock infused with pop hooks, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered around his native New Jersey. His eloquence in expressing ordinary, everyday problems has earned him numerous awards, including eighteen Grammy Awards and an Academy Award, along with a notoriously dedicated and devoted global fan base. His most famous albums, Born to Run and Born in the U.S.A., epitomize his penchant for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily life. He has sold over 65 million albums in the U.S, and 120 million worldwide. [1] Springsteen's lyrics often concern men and women struggling to make ends meet. He has gradually become identified with progressive politics. Springsteen is also noted for his support of various relief and rebuilding efforts in New Jersey and elsewhere, and for his response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, on which his album The Rising reflects. Springsteen's recordings have tended to alternate between commercially accessible rock albums and somber folk-oriented works. Much of his status stems from the concerts and marathon shows in which he and the E Street Band present intense ballads, rousing anthems, and party rock and roll songs, amongst which Springsteen intersperses long, whimsical or deeply emotional stories. Springsteen has long had the nickname "The Boss", a term which he was initially reported to hate but now seems to have come to terms with, as he sometimes jokingly refers to himself as such on stage. The nickname originated when a young Springsteen, playing club gigs with a band in the 1960s, took on the task of collecting the band's nightly pay and distributing it amongst his bandmates.[2] I mean how can you not like this....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk8VZgJkpeg and of course one of my fav's for obvious reasons...--> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
