One of the greatest musicians of our time. He is also a good boxer.

Terrible. He always just seemed like the watered down, mass marketable version of all the shit he tries to be. Could never stand him or understand the appeal to anyone outside of the mainstream.

clevohardcore - 5-25-2007 at 09:21 PM

No way. Dude is genious.

^^^^^^^ I've seen him play live at least 7 times and every time was awsome and different. The Jazz stuff to the Funk tot he Classical to full on rock.

^^^^ I take heat for the H C JR thing to and its all good. Poeple have no idea until they see the show or really listne to the music. Dude has more heart than many musicians that follow a routine pattern.

I hear Willie is sweet too but never saw him. Heard his show at a fair about 2 years ago and it sounded cool but it was really short. Like on a half hour or so.

better play longer than that....i went middle of the road and got $40 tickets so hopefully it's worth it

I hate this dude. Styles himself a Frank Sinatra and I call bullshit on that. Every interview I hear of him he's so full of himself.

^^^^^^^ seriously this is not true. Yes he is influenced by Frank but what about any other style of music? Its a "influence" that Connick has built on. We all have them. He is not a Frank rip off. If you listned to him you'd see it. Same with his shows. Its not your typical show. Dude goes off. I never saw Sinatra get behind a drumkit and play triplets while blowing up the double bass pedal. He'd make the CANNIBAL CORPSE drummer like like.... dare I say it? Chuck Biscuits. :P

I can't understand why you're all up on this guy's nuts and so down on Chuck Biscuits. Seriously, Connick blows ass and Biscuits has provided the perfect back beat to several outstanding bands.

Discipline - 5-28-2007 at 05:17 PM

The one reason I don't like this guy is an interview I saw where he talked shit about rock/punk/metal/etc. He said that it was music for dumbasses that can be played by anyone. He claimed that if he chose to play rock music he would be the biggest star in the world, but he prefers to play music that's intelligent.
