I'm not really a fan of Alexisonfire, but I gotta admit, that was a pretty damn good performance. The Hip sounded great as well.

W.C. CONTAINER is a fantastic CD , one of their best ever in my opinion. :thumb:
So , I guess that changing the next single to YNTO instead of FLY is a great idea.
They only mentioned 3 singles on the CD [IN VIEW , RINK and FLY]
W.C. , needs a major sales boost in Canada. GREAT MOVE! :thumb:

Both of those charts are correct. Only one is applicable to the Hip, though, and that is the Canadian Rock Charts, because the Hip certainly don't belong, nor grace the top 40 stations all that often...(In View might have broken in, because I did hear it on the local top 40 hip-hop/pop radio station).
Regarding the Juno awards, I watched it in it's entirety, as I do nearly every year. I think Nelly Furtado did a decent job; certainly more admirable of a host then Pamela Anderson. Perhaps my watching the red carpet event tainted my perception; I can't recall a time that I felt more awkward watching the television then I did this evening with Ben Mulroney and and the other ETalk(!) Daily host pitching some of the most ridiculous and ambiguous questions to the musicians. I don't mean 'silly', or 'softball lob' questions. I mean downright crack-induced, specifics-lacking questions about "how great it is to have fans?"...
The Hip played well, and Mr. Downie's poem/tribute was fantastic, but it more likely then not was lost on everybody in the arena. I think I'm told to try to understand, by the radio and MuchMusic, that the Billy Talents and Alexisonfire's of this world comprise the new era of rock music, and I'm not suggesting anybody did a bad job on stage tonight, but I must say that "Yer Not The Ocean" had the freshest sound to me.

as for Nelly Furtado..what a friggin' joke she is..god it's embarassing
She is also the world's biggest female star at the moment. :thumb:
Some of the comedy bits she has done so far were very funny.
My ass she's the world's biggest female star! I'd love to see that source :roll:
And no, she wasn't funny at all
p.s. Yer Not the Ocean has been the "new" single for a few weeks now...
I check the Canadian weekly air play charts from JAM MUSIC and other sources and if YER NOT THE OCEAN , has been out for weeks now , it has yet to chart in the Canadian TOP 100 radio air play charts. I could leave that charts link here if you want? So according to you , no one is playing it.
It hasn't even debuted yet on those charts , yet!

I guess it is bombing then. See my link before :

It is not even in the top 100!
No comment about NELLY being the world's biggest female star at the moment? It would have been nice to quote my WHOLE post.Thanks. :thumb:
Relax, I quoted what I was replying to. It happens all the time at hipbase, so don't get your panties in a knot.
Not to mention you've flip-flopped on this "Ocean single" subject & edited this post like 4 times...so you're practically impossible to quote anyway :roll:

You can easily get those 'custom made'. Also, I remember seeing Billy with one at the Hip shows in Montreal last November.

I managed to capture the performance, but unfortunately the Bob Rock segment glitched and I was only able to get Gord's tribute.
here's gord's poem:
Mercifully, as in love, so it is in music
We're all fourteen inside
With this in mind, thank you for allowing me this moment to be ample and grateful to a great friend of mine
And to one of the greatest music lovers of all time
Bob Rock, the rock-and-roller, the fan-start, the sound-tiger, the self-imposed rock-and-roll exile, the warm and interesting, interested and alive man of world beyond guile
He occurs deeply to people, he has good people in his life, and people hold him dear
He trusts his eyes, his ears, his feelings, and it shows in his eyes, in his feelings and to our ears
He really says with everything he does, life is feeling, and you can do it, and if you can't, I'm here
He hauls entertainment to the people, to everyone's everyday life
He makes those good records and chances are everyone here has heard a tune or two from one or two of 'em and probably most of you, twice
Bob Rock's a quadruple-threat, player, writer, producer, painter
In his manners, his deeds, in his art
His work ethic is surpassed only by his curiosity, his ear, only by his heart
He is an old world master, since before the cost of sound
He still stands before the doing-of-the-thing, then walks, then runs, then bounds
Headlong into that rush of sensation that comes when what's lost is found
He makes you want to sing your punk-rock heart out and play your drums into the ground
Of course to be in Bob Rock's orbit is to never want to leave
Bob's no picture, he's the event
He's free, not migratory-free
He's not horse-famous famous
He's no tightrope devotee
He can't recite the rights of the newly inducted inductee
Bob is just authentic, fully actualized man, who still fully can't believe he makes records for a living when he feels fourteen inside
He remembers what he loves and loves remembers and he has a generous memory
He has an encyclopedic knowledge of his entire and vast esteem
He can tell you exactly what he was wearing the day he bought
Exile on Main Street
But mostly Bob's a family man, he loves his family
And, ya know, it is just as Clint Eastwood said
Bob Rock is a family-man, and a family-man's about the best a man can hope to be

Billy Talent, formerly known as Pezz, used to cover The Hip.
Here's their version of New Orleans Is Sinking... there are a few seconds of silence at the start of the track.
FUCKING TERRIBLE.

That's all there is... as far as I know.
