Earguy: OK, are they lip-synching?

Not very well.

Man, that sucked.

chemrebel		2012-02-12 09:27:04 PM

Lt. Cheese Weasel: texdent: Of course most people watching this probably only remember them from Full House and Home Improvement.

No, that was Otis Day and the Knights.

I loved their song "That Thing You Do!"

Pontious Pilates		2012-02-12 09:27:07 PM

Earguy: That theramin thing looks like the same one they played on Ed Sullivan 40 years ago.

Tannerin, not theramin. But close. And yes, you're right.

Generation_D: brian wilsons eyes are two empty black dots...

I swear it's not really Brian Wilson that agreed to get back with the band: it's actually an advanced version of Geoff Peterson.

seventypercent		2012-02-12 09:27:52 PM

All right, a Bing commercial. That tears it, I'm having a Stella Artois.

Lt. Cheese Weasel		2012-02-12 09:27:59 PM

TommyymmoT: This sucks to the Excalibur level.

When we get to Winger, my work will be done here.

MickeyRaptor		2012-02-12 09:28:12 PM

That whole Beach Boys performance was like karaoke night at the nursing home.

Earguy		2012-02-12 09:28:19 PM

Generation_D: brian wilsons eyes are two empty black dots...

I saw him live a couple years ago. He hired a crack band and was basically a cheerleader for the music.

I just feel back for the guy. I can't tell, is he doing it because he needs the money? He obviously does not live to perform, he doesn't seem to like it. Maybe just because he loves the songs so much he feels obligated to keep them alive?

Candygram4Mongo		2012-02-12 09:28:24 PM

9beers: 51 years together as a band, that's mind boggling.

depends oh how you define "together" and "band," but... yeah.

bionicjoe		2012-02-12 09:28:24 PM

9beers: 51 years together as a band, that's mind boggling.

Never has that word been so stretched and exaggerated.
But still impressive.

RminusQ		2012-02-12 09:29:09 PM

Laying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did

Earguy		2012-02-12 09:29:17 PM

Wee Man on Survivor?

Yea. Great album OU812. No one will replace Santana.

kab		2012-02-12 09:30:44 PM

The Grammys!

My god, I hope my fave artists win, it will validate my musical choices!

Earguy		2012-02-12 09:30:58 PM

Tannerin, not theramin. But close. And yes, you're right.

I knew it wasn't a theramin, that's why I included the "thing" word. But thanks, that's two things I learned today about the Beach Boys.

Mayor_of_Simpleton		2012-02-12 09:31:11 PM

Did the Beach Boys "rock" by today's definition?

Probably not.

Were they better singers, songwriters, arranger / harmonizers, and producers than today's bands?

WWDGT?

What Would Dave Grohl Think?

Third_Uncle_Eno		2012-02-12 09:31:15 PM

Brian Wilson looks like half robot half "deer with its eyes caught in the headlights".
"who are these people? how did i get here?"

I was impressed that they still 'had it' harmonies wise and staying on pitch and stuff.
Then i realized it could be pre-recorded 'support' tapes.
that and the Foster the People singing along with them.

meh.
at least the music part of it was good!

powrchrd		2012-02-12 09:31:16 PM

Just like Brian Wilson did

I liked it better when I thought it was Just like Brian Wilson Dead

Cheesehead_Dave		2012-02-12 09:31:33 PM

Now Steve Jobs has two things in common with Whitney Houston.

Lt. Cheese Weasel		2012-02-12 09:31:38 PM

He's blind but that boy Stevie Ray can still play the geetar

chemrebel		2012-02-12 09:31:42 PM

DRINK x2

fustanella		2012-02-12 09:31:43 PM

How does Stevie Wonder know if he's getting a standing ovation? *curious*

Smiths		2012-02-12 09:31:46 PM

why was steve jobs mentioned?

Stevie Wonder... someone should tell him Whitney is dead.

DRINK

awww
awww

The missus:

"she can't hear you or see you. and neither can you"

Earguy		2012-02-12 09:31:48 PM

Every election year, I hope someone will do a cover of "You Haven't Done Nothing".

paj		2012-02-12 09:31:57 PM

Did Stevie Wonder bedazzle his shirt?

star_topology		2012-02-12 09:32:16 PM

He totally read that off the teleprompter.

skinink		2012-02-12 09:32:27 PM

Stevie Wonder turns his head away from the microphone.

texdent		2012-02-12 09:32:40 PM

star_topology: He totally read that off the teleprompter.

That's some braille.

seventypercent		2012-02-12 09:32:53 PM

You the motherfarker been doin Stevie Wonder? That shiat ain't funny, motherfarker! Your mother got a wooden leg with a kickstand, motherfarker! Motherfarking Stevie Wonder jokes and shiat....

Earguy		2012-02-12 09:33:08 PM

So that's why Joe Walsh got a prime seat.

MickeyRaptor		2012-02-12 09:33:14 PM

Paul McCartney has officially become elderly.

chemrebel		2012-02-12 09:33:16 PM

I'm just pissed that Higher Ground didn't keep going.

Zoomaster		2012-02-12 09:33:19 PM

I guess this is why Joe was sitting next to Paul

RminusQ		2012-02-12 09:33:32 PM

Dear television:
When you do that "back from commercial from ten seconds to promo ourselves, then back to commercial" thing that makes us stop fast-forwarding, IT MAKES US HATE YOU.
Sincerely,
Mankind.

STEVIE. WHO THE HELL GETS STEVIE WONDER ON THE GRAMMIES AND DOESN'T LET HIM SING MORE THAN ONE FARKING WORD?

craigzy		2012-02-12 09:33:33 PM

stevies teleprompter must be off, he was stuttering a bit.

skinink		2012-02-12 09:33:40 PM

Paul McCartney, lounge singer.

star_topology		2012-02-12 09:33:41 PM

paj: Earguy: Who's singing WOuldn't it be nice?

Foster the People - the one-hit-wonder band that brought you "Pumped-up Kicks'

Who's the retard holding the hand buzzer next to the microphone?

mjg		2012-02-12 09:33:52 PM

Sir Paul has that old person vibrato going on.

Pontious Pilates		2012-02-12 09:34:05 PM

Goddammit, I love Stevie so much. I wish he'd play something instead. His five seconds of Love Me Do were ten times better than this.

Midnight Rambler		2012-02-12 09:34:16 PM

Paul can still write a melody.

paj		2012-02-12 09:34:23 PM

A harp? A motherfarkin' harp?!? Who plays the harp these days?

TommyymmoT		2012-02-12 09:34:49 PM

kab: The Grammys!

My god, I hope my fave artists win, it will validate my musical choices!

Same here, but they always save the award for best polka until last :(

Jews.

nucal		2012-02-12 09:35:02 PM

Stevie Wonder's harmonica riff on "Love Me Do" - nice!

Pentaxian		2012-02-12 09:35:03 PM

BTW congrats to Alison Krauss with winning two Grammys this year (Best Bluegrass Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical award) it now brings her total up to 28 and Alison now has the most Grammys of any artist ever and is in second place overall behind Sir Georg Solti.
