Entertainment for Argos/Lions game today.

[1argoholic]

So I just read that some band called SixXxer will be at the pregame thing and Karl Wolf doing halftime. NEVER heard of either so I did a quick youtube search. Firstly it's GREAT that the Argos are making an attempt to create a buzz and more of an atmosphere at games. Nice that both acts will appeal to different musical tastes.
I listen to one SixXxer (strange name) song that had a good punk rock and roll edge to it and one that was lame but all in all I was surprised and didn't mind them. Karl Wolf wasn't my type of music at all but I get what they're trying to create in a game day experience. GREAT job Argonauts and keep it up for the long haul.

Go Argos Go!!!

Well how was it?

[1argoholic]

Guess it was crap.

[ArgoFan1]

Close. It was cRAP. A deafening silence greeted the end of his singing. They also had a young girl trying to sing like Janis Joplin who was not too successful. I just tuned them out to talk with my neighbour.

I was at the pre-game party and I thought that SixXxer was pretty good. It sounds like this will be a part of a Grey Cup contest sponsored by Sirius XM. I think that bands will be playing at pre-game parties throughout the league. Karl Wolf did a lousy job with the national athem. He also sang at halftime and I didn't think much of him.

yep...i loved the "god save our land, glorious and free" line....and hes canadian?

Maybe he's just trying to be another Roger Doucette? Remember him? He changed the words while he was the Anthem singer of the Montreal Canadians. "We stand on guard for rights and liberty". I don't believe that is in the official anthem either.

[Wobbler]

It's an OK anthem, but there's room for experimentation I think. Why not rap the two lines starting With glowing hearts? Why not add a line mentioning Justin Bieber? Keep it fresh!

because Canadian Justin Bieber is too busy asking for free gas and praising American athletes on NBC.

I liked Karl Wolf , his song helped me time my Beer Run perfectly.

[1argoholic]

I knew from what I saw on youtube this Wolf guy would be a huge load of cRAp!

To the U.S.A.,

Please, please, please take Justin Bieber.

[Hollaway]

Yeah they can keep Bieber, I bet he considers himself American first anyway, kid is spoiled rotten.

As far as Karl Wolf, he is ok, but don't like his live stuff though.

[LLB997]

i predict bieber plays the Grey Cup.

[1argoholic]

I think it'll be The Bare Naked Ladies because they popped up in some ad somewhere. TO guys that I really don't listen to much but we have a few cd's will bring on long road trips. I can't have my rockabilly,punk, rock and roll stuff going all the time.

Not the crowd at Grey Cup for Bieber but it wouldn't surprise me. Most Grey Cup haltimes BLOW!!!

Now if we disagree on football, that's one thing....but please, I beg you to never ever compare the great Roger Doucet, the famous Montreal Forum anthem singer to the wannabe that was at the Argo game on Monday. Did you hear all the name-dropping he did while talking about himself in the first half.... By the way your incorrect spelling of Roger Doucet's last name was a coincidence as their was a Canadian guitarist named Jerry Doucette, who put out music under his surname, Doucette. If you listen to classic rock music, you may have heard the song..."Mama, Let him play," as in let him play some rock'n'roll.

I also heard that awful rendition of the anthem from Wolf, with the incorrect lyrics...at least KC Parks from that Las Vegas Posse game in '94 came by it honestly as he probably never knew or noticed the Canadian anthem before he was asked to sing it.

I was only kidding. I guess I should have used some emoticon.

Don't forget that Roger Doucet also regularly sang the anthem at Alouettes games in the 1970s including before the CFL game with the largest ever attendance in 1977 (Argos vs. Als): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD4zVnhnaPY

I saw that yesterday when Angelo brought Doucet up...quite the spectacle and one that I remember while watching sports on TV in my childhood.

Sorry to be late to the party here - just one quick comment - Bieber is from my home town. It has provided me the only relief in moving to BC.
