U2 performing at inauguration! (rehearsal video posted)

[alanah]

I'd like a torrent of this performance.

 

[Utoo]

Woo-hoo to HBO finally working!

 

[neutral]

I'd like a torrent of this performance.

I'm sure they will be around later

 

[pepokiss]

who's on now?

 

[phillyfan26]

and he is???

Country singer from America.

 

[Thora]

Cue the choir!!

 

[corianderstem]

and he is???

Really?

American singer-songwriter from Indiana, used to go by John Cougar Mellencamp. Had a good many hits in the 80s, married to a former model, still puts out an album every few years. Not so much with the big hits anymore.

 

[LJT]

What would be the oddest band to perform at an inauguration? It would be hilarious if there ever will be a president who is a big fan of Animal Collective....

 

[RavenBlue]

Another 80's artist that rawks

 

[OrARoundabout]

His guitar is WAY to loud

 

[Utoo]

Hmmm....everyone's only playing one song.... I'm starting to doubt we'll get GOYB.


probably end the show with One and that's it...

 

[corianderstem]

I wouldn't call John Mellencamp a country performer. He's as country as Bruce Springsteen, which is to say ... not that much.

 

[Galeongirl]

I was just thinking guys... will u2 be the only NON American artists at the gig?

 

[LemonMelon]

I guarantee you that Bono's speech(es) will be longer than Biden's.

 

[VintagePunk]

Okay, I can now get the HBO website feed, which has better quality video, but the audio is better on the one Thora posted.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Every time I hear this song I think of being packed on a balcony with about 10 other very drunk people singing this song at a friend's birthday party. Somebody across the apartment complex opened a window and yelled at us to shut up

 

[neutral]

Hmmm....everyone's only playing one song.... I'm starting to doubt we'll get GOYB.


probably end the show with One and that's it...

You don't think they'll even do COBL?

 

[digitize]

Toby Keith should come out and play a duet with the Dixy Chicks.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Country singer from America.

i wouldn't classify him as a country singer.

 

[RavenBlue]

Cannibal Corpse?


And now one of Obamas favourite songs Devoured By Vermin

 

[yenlard]

u2 has to be last..........with maybe a group finale

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, the best part is coming up - VACATIONS DOWN AT THE GULF OF MEXICOOOOOOO! Ooh yeah!

 

[pepokiss]

Mellencamp!!!

 

[Galeongirl]

Hmmm....everyone's only playing one song.... I'm starting to doubt we'll get GOYB.

GOYB was never going to be there anyway.

God I hope they won't just do One. I really think they should do Pride.

 

[cseggleton]

we will get pride and cobl

 

[corianderstem]

Did anyone here really think they'd play GOYB? A song that has nothing to do with anything going on here today?

It's not a part of their promo tour.

 

[digitize]

You don't think they'll even do COBL?

They'll at least play Pride. I doubt they rehearsed the Pride->COBL transition last night for nothing, though.

 

[Slipstream]

He's still Cougar to me

"Pink Houses" along with "Our Country" was played by Sen. John McCain at political events for his 2008 presidential campaign. Mellencamp contacted the McCain campaign to request that they cease playing his music.

 

[corianderstem]

At least he didn't play that damned "this is my country" song that was in those truck commercials last year.
