Amazing Hangover Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 off topic - Just a quick one the Ill shut up. Best tune of the night was accompanying David Beckham on his boat - a rocky psychedelic number with mumbled vocals (which is why I cant google them) - What was it?? Also for all the twitterers who don't understand rock music - The Arctic Monkeys were great - pure rough, melodic, punky RocknRoll and a perfect version of 'Come Together'. Coldplay should have played my arse.

smackalec Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 I really don't think they'd want to go near your arse. However I do think they should have closed the show instead of Paul McCartney
Saint_Jonny Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Paul McCartney...how bad was he!? I thought it would have been MUSE.
darren Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 I really don't think they'd want to go near your arse. However I do think they should have closed the show instead of Paul McCartney He did'nt sound that good did he.

Rebel Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Paul McCartney has become a sad parody of an ageing rock star - they might well have had Elton John play he was so cringeworthy!
david in sweden Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 He did'nt sound that good did he. well you probably won't sound too good when you're 68.......but surely he had a right to play the tune after all ..he did write it in the first place.
bridge too far Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 well you probably won't sound too good when you're 68.......but surely he had a right to play the tune after all ..he did write it in the first place. . But he's never really had a good voice anyway, has he. Tom Jones' voice has got better as he's aged and he's older than Macca I think. And there's nothing wrong with Elton's voice.
Viking Saint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 McCartney is actually 70, but yes, his voice is getting very weak, can't hit the tougher notes anymore....anyone else notice him being out of time with the backing track in the first verse??
david in sweden Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Paul McCartney has become a sad parody of an ageing rock star - they might well have had Elton John play he was so cringeworthy! you mean more so than Mick Jagger?
Viking Saint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 you mean more so than Mick Jagger? Jagger can actually still deliver his songs and has a very tight band behind him to deliver.....I saw McCartney join Springsteen at Hyde Park and was disappointed at how poor he was, even if anybody would get blown away by The Boss......
manji Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Also what was the ambient electronic music played when they showed the photo-montage of those killed on 7/7 ? Keep hearing it and have no idea what it is.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Also what was the ambient electronic music played when they showed the photo-montage of those killed on 7/7 ? Keep hearing it and have no idea what it is. Brian Eno - An Ending. I think
sussexsaint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 There is an album of the music on iTunes you can check the preview clips
kwsaint Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 Brian Eno - An Ending. I think yeah it was. i thought that was one of the best things in the whole ceremony.
Thedelldays Posted 28 July, 2012 Posted 28 July, 2012 I liked the whistling tune when they all took their hats off And the camera focused on the poppy

alpine_saint Posted 31 July, 2012 Posted 31 July, 2012 I like the Brian Eno track that provided the back-drop to the pictures of the lost loved ones; it also featured in Danny Boyle's film 28 Days Later.
SaintsAhoy Posted 31 July, 2012 Posted 31 July, 2012 Aye, 'An Ending (Ascent)' is a beautiful piece of music. Definitely having it played at my funeral
