[Headache in a Suitcase]

who's the 4th guy playing with green day in the shadows?

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

I forget how great Tre Cool is behind the skins...

oh, and they should have put this on right after they had the southern rock tribute

 

[macphisto07]

I think Billy Joe of Green Day has smoked so much pot that his throat is raw. He cannot sing.

 

[Yahweh]

Has the 3rd award U2 is nominated for been awarded yet?

 

[kristbg]

I thought the performance was great. Problem was: everybody was expecting Vertigo, and U2 wanted to promote their new song...

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Actually, for Bille Joe, that was amazing

 

[ElectricalVoice]

No, Yahweh. It hasn't.

 

[tjkjat]

Vertigo is better than that song....Ricky Martin's still alive??

 

[ramblin rose]

Sorry if this was posted already

U2 Sings Tribute to Bono's Dad

Very nice article.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

once again, Prince needs to win.

 

[macphisto07]

Yes that was a good performance for him lately. I remember in the past he could do better though.

 

[kristbg]

A lot of rancor from Ricky "overnight sensation" Martin over there

Anyone else want the MP3 through email? let me know

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Only he didn't. Nevertheless... Alicia's gorgeous, so more time with her on screen = goodness.

 

[macphisto07]

Tre cool can play the drums. No doubt about that.

 

[tjkjat]

AK looks stoned

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah... whaaaaaaaaaaat? okkayyyyyy

 

[ElectricalVoice]

It would really be cool if they played Miami instead. I would like to look at your faces then.

No 1. Awesome performance !!!

No 2. Don't like hat

No 3. No standing O is a joke

No 4. What up Gwen ? u2 let your sorry ass open for them, and you can't even clap for their song? thats okay, when you lose your good looks your done.

No 5. Can someone explain something to me, not that I'm complaining but how can the song Vertigo beat the song American Idiot for best rock song but then the song American Idiot is nominatied for record of the year but Vertigo is not THIS MAKES NO SENSE !!!

No 6. No standing O what a joke, there giving them away like free peanuts at the bar but can't get their fucking asses up for the greatest band ever?

U2 has now won a total of 16 Grammy awards! Thats more than any single performance artist I think of, unless you combine STING's Grammy wins with the Police's which would be 16 as well.

If U2 win the Rock Performance award, that will put them at 17!

Stevie Wonder has over 20 Grammys.

 

[tjkjat]

I agree on all 6 points zoo99

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

so when Bono plays Across The Universe with Slash & the rest of velvet revolver, will Shaun Vox have an anuerism?

2. Am I the only one who sees this or does this album(except 4 Vertigo) not sound good played live! I thought tonights performance proved it. It was good, but not great. And we're used to great when it comes to U2 live. I've heard ABOY,SYCMOYO,COBL, & OOTS and none have sounded great.
Bono's voice was up to the task but musically it didn't have the energy it has on the album. And what was up with the loud ass backing track!

Are you insane?! I thought it sounded GREAT. No, heavenly. Sometimes is just glorious live. Much better than the album version. I don't even listen to the album version anymore because I don't like the half-second falsetto on "SIIIIIIIIIIIIIING." It's better when he just belts the note out for all it's worth. ABOY has a lot of energy live, and Vertigo is much better live. COBL and OOTS I haven't really heard (the TOTP was bad quality and before the release of HTDAAB anyway, and the only OOTS I've heard was the iPod performance). But you know, you gotta give the band time. The tour hasn't even started yet...I'd say they've pretty much perfected Sometimes and Vertigo, pretty good on ABOY, but the others we haven't really heard much. I guaruntee City of Blinding Lights will be amazing live. It'll be like Streets. Original of the Species they haven't really worked out how to play yet, but once they do it will also be great. Don't forget about Crumbs From Your Table - I'm sure that will have the energy of Until the End of the World and Gone. Miracle Drug will be good too... and Yahweh will be a closer of all closers. And LAPOE...man, the whole album is gonna be magnificent live, what the hell are you talking about?!

Oh, and on a side note, Green Day rules. Stick it to 'em, Armstrong! And the drummer is hot.
