Someone's bitter.

Hmmmmm....I thought Beyonce's bass player was Divinity Roxx? Guess she got the boot.

Okay gang. Found out Divinity Roxx was not part of the band last night. But this link show behind the scenes footage of the band prepping for the super bowl. The bass player clearly is a MM lover. You'll catch a quick glimps of her playing an all white with neon strings in the video. The bass looks kind of sweet in the video.

When the Monster Power Strip tripped I forgot about the half time show. I mean when some one tripped over it. I mean when it was like the scene in "Airplane".

Do you really think she was playing it ???? NOT! all for show!

I personally don't care who is to blame, the guitarists tone was bad IMO. Whoever was responsible for it should have tried harder.

Wait...so...why has everyone decided that the bassist wasn't actually playing?

Was it the post that suggested that the music was pre-recorded?

Was it the post that said the poster couldn't hear the bass?

I'm not a big Beyonce fan or anything but I'm just saying...people are making comments about getting endorsements for doing nothing, ever think that maybe this girl can actually play?

Seriously,,, even if they "faked" it, the original cut probably used her bass and that's the sound you're hearing, so if it's a Stealth, then that's what you're hearing.
Either way.... Whatever!

You should probably look things up first. Things like this are probably why she has endorsements:

Although she seems technically proficient, I notice a total lack of feeling or emotion in her playing. Dry and stale (IMO).

She does have the right look, however.

I played football for years, and was all-state in high school. And now, I'm proud to say that I don't watch the game anymore. It's become way, way too commercialized, and money-driven. I'd rather watch a game from the early-80's, or before. The only real, pure, professional sport left is mixed-martial arts. Amazing, amazing athletes. Back on topic: I really like the look of that stealth black, with the white strings. That's the first time that I've seen white strings. It's a good combo.

I believe it was the debut of the neon white strings. It looked good under the stage lighting of the Super Bowl.

I do -- it IS amazing. Same as with presidential inaugurations, no shame using some pre-recorded music. Pro wrestling isn't a sport, it's "entertainment" -- and you have to think of the SB halftime show in the same way. If you want to see live music, get your butt off the couch and into an auditorium, where the band and crew have the time to prepare it properly.

It had to be live, there is no way the sound guy could have screwed up that badly with pre-recorded tracks. The lighting/video guy, however, did an outstanding job.

troy mcclure · #55 02-04-2013, 08:24 AM

every time I caught a glimpse, it really didn't look like she was playing...

troy mcclure · #56 02-04-2013, 08:27 AM

I had some friends participate in the Tampa staging for Springsteen. Volunteers (fans) practice for hours getting all the puzzle pieces in the right place on an alternative field.
That part is amazing.

I agree, the bass player's solo was barely audible. The sound guys really screwed up the mix and I bet someone is getting their walking papers this morning.

shane theriot recorded the guitar solo for the performance that he wasn't on stage for :-)...the whole thing was pre-recorded

What is so entertaining about watching someone pretend to play music? That may be even more tedious than watching people pretend to wrestle.

That was my thought too. Made for mixed feelings - "wow, that's so cool that they're actually performing live... too bad I can't hear anything..." You'd have thought that even if the stadium sound was hard to control, there would have been a decent mix to go out on broadcast.

I was surprised to see the bass player - was expecting Divinity. But I don't really follow Beyonce to see the comings and goings of her band.
