Westy Sucks Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'd be floored if "we" landed the Foo especially given the relative crap that the half time show has seen since....well, my lifetime. One of rock's greatest acts in recent memory - I'd buy a ticket just to see them. If True North is involved in helping book the band, I wouldn't completely rule it out. TN already handles the IGF booking iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN already handles the IGF booking iirc. Nobody in Winnipeg has anything to do with booking the entertainment for Grey Cup. The league itself is solely responsible for the Grey Cup and it's half time entertainment. The team is waiting on the announcement as much as anyone else. It's all up to the league.

Mark F Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Does Dave really need twelve guitars? lol. What a doofus. Other than replacing burned ones, Jimi managed to get by with one per show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 for larger scale bands its not uncommon to have like 6 guitars on hand, not because guitars 1-5 are being destroyed, but are set to different tuning and accessible for instant change between songs without delay Noeller and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard practice. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Oh they did go ahead with tour? I remember reading the story that it was being cancelled but he did finush the show sitting in a chair with his leg propped up like in the pic I believe they did the whole tour... I'm sure some research can confirm or refute that... I don't care enough to look it up They did their Calgary concert in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basslicker Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 in 2006 they announced Nelly Furtado in week 16, or 17, so it should be announced shortly Another bad show I had to watch because I was there.

Now, I was drunk........so that's good Meh, to each their own. Pop star not to everyone's taste, especially guys but it was the only Grey Cup here that got it right. Brought in a hot international act at the time which is what they should always try to do for the halftime show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueBlue83 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 have they booked an anthem singer yet!? If the Foos play the halftime show, that will be insane! Arguably the biggest rock band in the world right now... if somehow this gets pulled off, it would honestly wash away the crap season we finish up on Friday.... and I realize it has nothing to do with football, but they are my favourite band, and I passed on going to their show in Vancouver in lieu of Banjo Bowl. This wait for the announcement is gonna suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Sorry to those hoping, but it ain't the Foo Fighters. If you haven't heard yet, the announcement's coming tomorrow at noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
