Reverb 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 Janet Jackson and Metallica had their special and Aerosmith has their's recorded. According to you, who should get their own MTV icon special? As far as I'm concerned, Michael Jackson should get his, Run-DMC should get theirs. So far they're the only ones I see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 I'd say Nirvana, but they obviously can't get up and do the customary live performance. Madonna. No question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1234-5678 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 You know where my vote lies. Guns N Roses. Only have the new GNR, and Velvet Revolver both perform at the end, since having Axl and the new band taking all the credit would just be ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonic Reducer 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 Nobody. That show sucks. Nobody managed to do justice to even one Metallica song when they covered it on the last Icon. Ugh. UGH. No more Icon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 Thats why they can do Madonna or RunDMC where today's hot pop acts don't have to actually play instruments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the Korn version of "One" wasn't too bad. Avril's "Fuel" however, was just fucking awful. And Lars looking like a geek pounding his feet and shaking his head to every song just ruined what could have at least been an average show. What a fucking tool.

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 Madonna, good choice. I'd get behind Run-DMC but I think they'd be more likely as far as rap acts go - and perhaps not out-of-line - to go with Dr. Dre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted December 31, 2003 Isn't it Raps turn? So that means it's either Run DMC or Dre. Doesn't Dre have a new album coming out next year? That seems to be a part of the MTVICON rules...The "icon" must have an upcoming album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfxion 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2004 Dr. Dre, Madonna, or LL Cool J since they will have CDs out by the next time MTV does an ICON show. Run DMC, REM, Michael Jackson or Prince since they have that status of ICON. But only maybe Prince will have a new CD out by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering the song sucked and wasn't even the full song, that's not saying much. Must be nice being the worse of the bunch. What am I saying?
