Taylor Swift & Dave Matthews to perform, Saints / Vikings Pregame show (1 Viewer)

[Sniper Wolf]

New Orleans has some great music and great musicians, but with the exception of a few rappers, it's been quite some time since any bands or singers from here were considered major acts all over the country.

Hi. You may know me from my role as a major musical talent all over the country.

To Mr. Thumbs Down:

I understand why they included Taylor Swift. The NFL is always trying to broaden their fanbase and she's a family-friendly megaselling pop star. Still I could also understand the big thumbs-down for her since she appeals mostly to young girls. But Dave Matthews Band is one of the best bands around today and have been for quite some time. Their musicianship is off the charts and they put on an amazing show.

Plus, they are a band with nationwide appeal who just so happens to LOVE New Orleans. While I'm not a huge fan of their music (I do like some songs), I love seeing them play live because their improvisational skills are so impressive. They will put on a great show for however much time they are allotted to play.

False - they are awful. If you think they are one of the best musical acts around then clearly you are not a musician yourself. I could teach a ten year old all of their songs - overrated and boring. That music has absolutely no edge - i don't understand why more aggressive isn't featured at football games - it is a brutally violent sport.

In order to "get" Dave Matthews, it really helps if you have lady parts.

/just sayin'

Is that why I liked Dave Matthew? I thought it was because he supported New Orleans by recording his last cd here.

I was supposed to give this a thumbs up.

I'm sorry.

I just hope Dave Matthews doesn't dump a load of %^& in the river from his tour bus coming in on the GNO. We already have our hands full cleaning up this oil spill.

Well, If you gave me a thousand dollars, I might go see them if they were
playing in my driveway.

HCJr did the national anthem at last year's kickoff. The NFL probably didn't want it to look like they had run out of ideas.

I get you do the whole resident smart *** thing, and most of your posts are attempts at some kind of humor, but that is just blatantly ignorant

I agree, she appeals much more to me, a 36yo, then the whiny/moaning sound of Matthews.

I just never "got" Dave Matthews, and never will.

If I'm gonna watch a "guy" band, they better rock.

Go listen to their live at Red Rocks CD. Classic.

I love DMB, but Taylor Swift? ugh.

 

[SaintsGirlForever]

I have lady parts, and I don't like Dave Matthews. Never have. Good for him for supporting New Orleans, but I still don't enjoy his music. And Taylor Swift... I don't think so. I think that girl is WAY overrated.

Same here. Never got Dave Matthews but then again, I don't get Taylor Swift either. I understand she is young and apparently writes her own music which I can respect. That said, I think her vocals are not that great and I think Kanye helped her waaaaay more than he hurt her.

 

[StarSaint]

Has taylor swift learned how to sing yet?

 

[smchls23]

How so?

I could care less. I am going to see the Saints beat the living **** out of the Vikings.
