Confirmed with Link: Sharks vs. Kings - February 21st - Levi's Stadium

[Eid Ma Clack Shaw]

Nothing pumps me up for hockey like Melissa Etheridge...God this is embarrassing.

No it's not.

She's actually pretty cool.

Listen to this interview on WTF with Marc Maron.

Excellent stuff.

 

[znrch]

Melissa Etheridge was a horrible choice. Fogerty is kinda meh but alright.

 

[Grave]

I like CCR but the other two are just WTF, do people actually want to hear B tier country artists at a hockey game?

So much for trying to get new and younger fans.

 

[skymachine]

Is anyone taking VTA to the game? I need to pick up my friend in SJ before heading to the Stadium (driving from the east bay), and I'm considering just driving to a VTA station and parking there instead of dealing with stadium traffic (entering and exiting) and $50 parking.

Is there a VTA station with parking anyone would recommend? From stories I've heard, traffic in and outflow is pretty bad at Levi's.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Hey guys and gals. Always look forward to our match ups. Should be a rough & fun environment at the game. We posted a one game dance off thread since this is a special occasion on the main board.

[Pavelski2112]

Melissa Etheridge and John Fogerty?

What the ****, dude.

 

[JodyShelleysNo1Fan]

Who?

 

[HOOCH2173]

Who?

these people:

 

[Kcoyote3]

Noooooooooooo

 

[Mattb124]

Saying that I am underwhelmed by the musical artist choices is an understatement. Metallica would have been an obvious choice.

Do we know that they didn't ask and the entire band was free to play?

 

[Nighthock]

Melissa Etheridge and John Fogerty?

What the ****, dude.

I can't think of two other artists that pump me up for hockey!!

Beyond lame...

 

[Pavelski2112]

God the musical acts will suck more than the Sharks will on Saturday.

 

[hockeyball]

That's... disappointing to say it nicely. Nothing against either of them, I even like CCR (and my father-in-law went to school with Fogerty) but really not the right kind of music for a hockey game...

I guess we can just be glad it isn't Neil Diamond.

Really though, no matter who it was, someone was going to be pissed. People are way too judgmental about music. Even if it was Metallica lots of people would complain. Imagine if it was someone like Fall Out Boy or Linkin Park... The whining would be deafening.

My biggest problem with it is that the Bay Area is such a creative haven for musical artists, and they pick two artists who are not remotely relevant and never really were (John Fogerty was never very relevant; CCR was, but that's old history).

I don't really care for Metallica much (at least post-And Justice For All), but at least they'd have going for them: 1. a history with the Sharks org (albeit recent), 2. Bay Area as a home, and 3. the distinction of being one of the most popular hard rock/metal groups to ever exist. It just makes sense, from a marketing standpoint.

Hell, even Green Day is from the Bay, along with countless other artists that would make more sense than ****ing Melissa Etheridge.

Actually surprised Metallica wasn't asked or chosen.

 

[Gilligans Island]

Actually surprised Metallica wasn't asked or chosen.

Or maybe they declined?

Same here- these choices are boring.

 

[Timo Time]

Could be worse. Could be SIA doing some interpretive dancing and calling it 'music.'

 

[PredragD]

Musical choices make sense. Relatively cheap has been's for the two intermissions. The first one has local ties, while the second one helps the NHL's "You Can Play" program.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Let's just hope they show up on Saturday instead of the crap they've been putting on the ice the past two weeks or so. I don't want them to get embarrassed on Saturday night. But with the way both teams are playing, it just might happen.

 

[SharksFan1]

Have one thing in go-to-Stadium-Series bag thus far: binoculars.

LOL. I told my wife we should bring ours. We are up top.

 

[Chairman Mallard]

LOL. I told my wife we should bring ours. We are up top.

I'm looking forward to watching Ants play hockey from up in 412.

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

How does parking work at this event just curious if it would be cheaper to take the light rail
