The end of an era. ELO final tour.
- Thread starter Dr. H Lecter
- Start date
Were you in Nashville last night? I was there too. How'd you like Rooney?
I can see the talent. I think they are trying too hard to be too many things. Not my cup.
I too attended, ELO definitely didn't disappoint, and certainly a bucket list thing for me to see Jeff Lynne live.
Regarding Rooney, my wife said the exact thing about trying too hard. I personally thought they were pretty lame. Talented, yes, but maybe a little more soul would do them good. I have no idea what identity they're going for.
4th time for me seeing ELO.
Back to Rooney. They have been around for about 20 years. The lead singer is a "Coppola" as in Francis Ford Coppola (uncle). His mom is Talia Shire (Yo Adrian) and uncle or cousin is Nick Cage.
Musically they are certainly SoCal. I don't think they are trying to be anyone. It's just like being a band from Seattle and becoming a part/reflection of that music scene.
I detected the Strokes and a couple other similar sounds but overall there stuff is about 20 years old. And if Jeff liked them....that's good enough for me.

If Talia Shire is his mother, then he is a brother to Jason Schwartzman. I did not know that. I was also at the Nashville show and had a blast. 1st time for ELO. Very glad to have made it.
His name is Robert Schwartzman so that should be the case. I am glad you enjoyed the Nashville show too. I hate that this is it for Jeff, but he deserves the right to take it easy.
I finally get to check this one off the ol bucket list. We took the kids with us to see them Friday night in Nashville. It was fantastic. One of the best show's I have ever seen. Definitely top five.
