Matt On Snl

[THE MAN]

I think that Matt should play on SNL. Its about time that he does it, and its a good chance to reach out to a new American audience. Anyone agree with me?

That'd be great, but I won't hold my breath.

No. He's not popular enough here to play SNL. They usually only have multi-platinum selling artists, cheesy pop groups or cutting edge critical darlings play SNL. Plus he doesn't have a record label down here, so I doubt there would be anyone encouraging NBC to book him.

[VivaEllen]

being the musical guest on snl is unfortunately nothing to be proud of anymore these days.

we should all mail lorne michaels and get him on.

on a seperate note, a friend of mine and i have decided to send a letter to paul martin and/or george w. bush askign why we can't be naked all the time like those tribal people.

[OWJeeves]

...wow.

 

 

....

[THE MAN]

You mean we cant already? uh oh...

[no yu begin wher i end]

CENSORSHIP IS BULLSHIT! FIGHT THE POWER! DOWN WITH PANTS!

[insane_child]

nah... americans wouldn't watch that episode anyway.. they'd be like, "who the hell is this matthew good freak?!"

 

 

all of us would start hitting them with stuff b/c of their blasphemy.... it would just be bad.

Did KISS every play SNL? I dont think so. People would've started a good concert riot. That would be sweet to see live on TV.

Q) Well who remembers when Tragically Hip became famous in the US?

 

A) It caught on when they played Grace, Too on SNL. They had their fan base in Northern and Central New York, of course, but they didn't really get great national exposure until that episode.

 

Follow-up Question.

 

Q) Who demanded that they be the musical guest for him to host?

 

A) The one and only... Elwood Blues. (Dan Aykroyd)

 

 

Follow-up Question #3

 

Q) Who did Matthew Good recently do a benefit show with in Kingston, ON?

 

A) The Tragically Hip, hosted by (again) Dan Aykroyd.

 

Follow-up Question #4

 

Q) Could he probably make SNL happen?

 

A) Yes

 

HOWEVER

 

Q) Would he?

 

A) I doubt it....

 

 

Come on, people. He just canceled the US branch of his tour because of the cost of the work Visas. Do you really think he'd do it for SNL?

 

 

And what would his message be? I hate for the way you voted and I hate the way you're screwing up the world?

Everyone would know him as the guy who played Hello Time Bomb or Load me up.

[kbernardp]

I'm not saying that it wouldn't be wonderful. I'm just having a hard time adjusting my imagination to even begin to ponder the concept.

[Lauren]

i think matt's big hit years are gone. he'll be supplying us fans and making a few new ones [with new albums].. but i don't think he'll be drawing in the crowds..

[kbernardp]

I don't know if he's got it in him. The difference between WLRRR and Avalanche is so black and white that it's almost as if he channeled the soul of Dave Genn to help him write Avalanche.

He'll need to get famous first.

I would be happy if he were to just go on Much Music or Vikki Gabberau or something like that. Petition for a DVD!!!
