I think he sucks and is WAY overrated and I don't get the love for him and a long time ago I heard "Born to Run" was voted the best rock song of all time and I think it is one of the worst songs I have ever heard, it actually makes me cringe when I hear it.
I legit think his only good songs were the one or two overproduced 80's pop singles he put out, one of which was "I'm on Fire."
Now you go.
Bruce Springsteen
Bought tix for his February show and ditched the Nightwish one across town. 2nd time seeing him for me. I'm going with a few other people who will be seeing him for the 20th and 40th times, respectively.

I'm also not a huge fan.
He has some decent songs, but he's crazy overrated.

I can't think of another band that puts on a 3+ hour show and has the audience enthralled the entire time.Leisher wrote:I'm also not a huge fan.

3+ hours can be attributed to the size of his song library. Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, and others can do similar shows.Malcolm wrote:I can't think of another band that puts on a 3+ hour show and has the audience enthralled the entire time.Leisher wrote:I'm also not a huge fan.

Folks being enthralled can be said about most concerts. I mean, that's why they're there.
Something about Springsteen has always bugged me. I don't hate him, and can recognize his success, but it's not my cup of tea.

I've never seen any single band, let alone one comprised mainly of senior citizens, play a straight 200-minute set with no opener or breaks, and do it every night virtually perfectly. Max Weinberg had two-thirds of a suit on the entire time.

That's great for their fans. It really is, but that doesn't mean their music is good.Malcolm wrote:I've never seen any single band, let alone one comprised mainly of senior citizens, play a straight 200-minute set with no opener or breaks, and do it every night virtually perfectly.

There were a couple 2-3 songs portions that were too slow for my liking. The other 30 sounded good.GORDON wrote:200 minutes of Springsteen is still 190 minutes of shitty songs, though, no matter how old or how dressed up they are.
