She wasn’t faking it………..she just played the same two notes over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

Good Lord, Madonna, Michael Moore, Carl Levin, and John Conyers why are all these freaks coming form Michigan? What happened to my state?

You forgot Eminem and your adopted governor Granholm. They’re all trying to counteract the positive effects of Motown, Grand Funk and the Nuge.

What was up with those dancing ghey guys in white ties?

Oh, I forgot Madonna lives in Europe. This is entertainment.

I bet they were thinking, “this is where my career takes off!”

Jimi Hendrix just rolled over in his grave.

Only one person knew how to hump an amp.

Ha!

Uhmmm… Guys? I hate to rain on your parade here, But I am a guitar player. and she was playing, and she was cording properly, Yes, I did watch the video, that song, ray of light, is like a 2 chord song, I think she’s doing a G and C in what is known as Bar chords (it involves the use of one’s index finger, instead of using a capo) She did have 2 backup guys helping her, it is kind hard to jump around on a stage and play too, especally if you’re new! :lol: Anyhow, no, I don’t like her music, but I thought I would at least let ya’ll know, she was playing and seemed to be in timing, at least at the beginning.

That’s a nice Gibson Les Paul too, I got one just like it, Albeit, a lot older and not as nice looking. :D

Everytime I see people jumping at a ooncert or to music my mind flashes to a horrible experience. A few years ago I was at a concert and when people started jumping, it became obvious that someone near me had a pretty serious bout of gas. It was brutal! Everytime the jumping started…the air was replaced by….scorched, hot off the stuff, stench. It wasn’t so much a smell, as an entity invading your nose. I eventually had to go to the back.

Maybe it was an alternative energy source. It was that strong. I hear Madonna screaming for jumping, and in my mind I am screaming, “NO!”

My semi-professional guitar opinion is that she’s actually playing. It’s just two barre chords

The left hand is fine. The right hand is going bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum (Glenn Beck program, Glenn Beck program), but the music is going bum de bum BUUUM, bum de bum BUUUM, bum de bum BUUUM, etc. So left hand okay, right hand nokay imho banjo picker’s opinion.

She’s playing that guitar. Whether or not the sound guys have her signal up in the house is the question

Exactly. Anyway, old granny-hands is a MILPOP, Mother I’d Like to Put Out to Pasture.

Just like with every great boxer, the fear becomes will they retire too late? No fear here–been there, done that, read the book, bought the t-shirt, ate the Happy Meal, passed on the Chinese knock-off.

I’d like to add that I, also, play guitar.

That will be all.

Thank you.

Faked what? The horrible out of tune screeching? Pretending to be a human? What? Ugh. 50-year-old women pretending to be forever young. Gross.

I was completely done at “c’mon M— f—s”. How in the world is anyone excited to support by being called a m—- f—-????? Beyond gratuitous. I would have been much more impressed if someone had walked on stage, taken away her guitar and washed her mouth out with soap. What a skank.

Real Original but what is with her yelling in that screeching voice?

She is strumming two chords, but volume is down. It’s too timely and dynamic to be her with her method.
A spot later in when the chord structure changes she does not appear to be on.
Many vocalists who fromnt bands oftenuse this “semi-play with the guitar volume down” method. ;)
It works for the girls when watching Garth Brooks etc! ;)

Life long Guitar Man here. She’s playing it. Two chords. The other dude was playing the solo. Seems pretty obvious to me. I must say. I never cared for Midge but hey. That was pretty awesome. Except for the last Hendrix mimic thing. She wasn’t nearly high enough to pull that off. Neither was the crowd for that matter.
