Fixed it for you Drummer.
And I agree, STP would be a great choice.
But so would that marching band. I'm with Sportsmen, i think the Grey Cup should be about the football game, and very little about the other crap surrounding it.
How about Young Rivals from Hamilton? Highlight some young new Canadian talent rather than the old tried and true acts everyone has come to expect. These fellows really impress and rock it out. Another good act would be Metric.
I think the smaller acts should be playing the various events leading up to the big game, but the half time show should be reserved for the biggest band they can get.
The smaller bands would still get great exposure during grey cup week, but when I watch half time shows, I want someone who is well known and have millions of albums sold and can headline any world class festival. Stp co-headlined edgefest and bayfest in the last 2 summers.
I just found out that they got back together in April after being apart since 2004. That's awesome. They're one of my favourite bands, Canadian or otherwise.
Brothers and sisters, are you ready for the return of Big Sugar?
I wouldn't mind Nickelback. A lot of there newer stuff isn't spectacular, but it is catchy. I particularly like the song The Score uses for WWE. That's a fun song.
Didn't realize Nickelback was from Edmonton. That would be a great choice. STP are great for sure. There are a lot of great Canadian bands, everyone has personal choices of course.
Oh, and I thought Nickelback was from Vancouver, not Edmonton. (Their recording label is called "604 Records", and 604 is the area code for the lower mainland of BC
