NeoConMan Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 So Christina Aguilera sings the National Anthem. It wasn't as bad as some in recent years, but I still have to ask; Why can't they just fxcking SING it? I'm sick and tired of a national icon being "interpreted" as some teeny-bopper bubble-gum Top 40 hit. $.02 from some guy on the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbabig Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yeah, and holding a note is one thing, but singing with crazy vibrato pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 They shoulda had Les Claypool play it on bass. But that would've been too interesting, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 They should dispense with it entirely. I also wonder why it became mandatory to have a fat guy in a funny hat sing "God Bless America" like he's opera-man during the seventh inning stretch at baseball games. That kind of pseudo-patriotism gives me the creeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have to agree Neo! Show off your Chops on Letterman, Show some Reverence when you do the National Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'll throw mine in then... Yeah SP - pretty cool. What did you use on that? I worked that up a few years ago on my 335. Kept it simple - no fancy fills - and no effects whatsoever beyond gain on the amp. Just the feedback the semi-hollowbody offers gave me what I was looking for... I thought it was pretty damned cool, Mrs. Neo LOVED it. Just don't know what I would ever do with it. I mean, play it at a 4th of July gig? Even then, Jimi set the bar and most drunks would want to hear it all jazzed up in that fashion. Eh, whatever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Actually I did it for the school where I teach. They wanted it for the morning announcements. I did it on a Strat but avoided any whammy dive bombing to keep it clean and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 You think Cyndi Lauper is hot? No. Nor do I think any of the other peroxide/silicone/collagen/Botox/tatted/pierced "beauties" are hot either. In my opinion, "hot" went out the door with Farrah Fawcett 35 years ago. Suddenly women with the body of a 12 year-old boy became all the rage if she had blonde hair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
