Rhianna Halftime show

[Spud]

It is just me or was anyone else having trouble determining
what her hand gestures were indicating on that first bit?

 

[Strat Avenger]

Who?

 

[Spud]

In any case way to stay classy.

I actually missed her. She came on, and I went to the kitchen to eat some chicken wings.

Didn’t watch Glad i missed it!
Heard who ever a person called babyface faked guitar playing using the same chord shape


I prefers real Talented Individuals who can actually play everything Live that they put in their Recordings!
Spud i would rather watch a documentary to see you make mashed potatoes than that garbage

I could only watch for approximately 1.5 minutes myself. Big kudos to the NFL for that................

oof, lot of Haterade in this thread already

 

[Rick]

No seriously, no hate, only love, my urge to eat chicken wings surpassed my hunger to watch the half time show, any show .... But ... well .... maybe if they had Kruangbin ... I might've stuck around. We'll not know until the TV programing gods select what we will watch next year, and whatever corporate spoo they generate for us to lap up like mindless tools, including the game itself. Look forward to it. It's like we are in a slow moving and boring science experiment. B'rob, I wish we had time travel, I'd love to get your take on next year's show.

 

[Spud]

She is a national treasure.

 

[Spud]

For the record, no hate here. However, the Superbowl is viewed by all ages and that should be respected or considered when performing. What an artist wants to do elsewhere is entirely up to them. This thread is bordering on political and probably outta be removed.

OK, for all you HATERZ who went for chicken wingz instead of watching....you missed your chance to catch a glimpz of Nuno in Rhianna's band.

He is her musical director, FYI. He toured with her for time as well, and there are YouTube vids of him ripping solos on stage with her if you care to seek them out.

I have no doubt the SB performance was pre-recorded, but according to Nuno all her concerts are performed live by real musicians.

 

[teleme01]

never heard of nuno before, now this is my only exposure

 

[Spud]

He championed the Stephen's extended cutaway.

 

[Rick]

Actually, I know (of) nuno ... now I'm sorry I missed it.

 

[Spud]

He also brought us this unforgettable gem.

I always thought that was just weird.

 

[alexreinhold]

Exactly what Aaron said. Nuno is probably a better guitar player than all of us combined #nohate #nooffense #includingmyself

When I saw the thread I actually thought it was about Nuno - was surprised it was actually just a Rihanna bash.

That song made them all rich enough to do whatever they want for the rest of their lives.

Little known fact: Pornograffiti (the album that song is on) holds the record for the highest-grossing album to leave every twenty-something-girl-who-bought-it-because-their-boyfriend-put-in-on-a-mix-tape confused, wondering where all the other acoustic love songs were.

"Gosh Brad...all these other songs just sound like noise...."

For the uninitiated, here is a video that's more representative of what Nuno is all about. Funkiest right hand in the biz.

My wife and I were at this show. Gary Cherone found my wife in the crowd and was flirting with her the entire night. You can see him looking up at her as the video starts. (It was during NAMM and I think she was the only female there, lol.)
