I SAW THIS THIS A WEEK AGO AND IT WAS A TOTAL MESS FROM START TO BORING FINISH. FLASH, TRASH AND NOTHING INBETWEEN. THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION IS RIDICULOUS!
It makes me so sad seeing comments saying that this is a mess. I logged in for the first time in year just because I want to defend Carney. It's really sad that some people don't appreciate this style of music. You should look through their other songs, in my opinion, they are amazing. <3 I've been in love with there sound since I first heard their song "Love me Chase me" over a year ago. Please don't hate people, give them a chance.
This show seems like it COULD be amazing or just not good at all...it seems to have so much potential...if they could just stop hurting actors! And figure out how to keep the show UNDER three hours long
the show looks like ti would be awesome exceopt for the sings. a huge show with huge sets and huge stunts needs huge songs with huge voices and a huge orchestra.
oh this is just too much. Just because you're telling a story does not mean that you can discard any notion of a melody.....the song is over, and there is nothing but noise still in my head....
@Sparta2310 Have you heard Reeve sing in the band Carney?...Check out some of my other videos to see him...look for him on line as well...He covers She's so heavy and sings a song called Testify...it is pretty amazing!!!!
@guillentio agree that there are a lot of 'holes'...and the music needed to be so much 'bigger' to match the 'hugeness' of the sets...Let's see if they can take the publics opinions and 'spin out' some changes...but I actually really enjoyed myself...I'll def be going back to see the 'polished' version in Jan...:)
@wadyano i saw the show again last week... with a new ending... Still a BIG MESS. The guy next to my seat fell asleep and two cuples left the theater during the second act... Is a really bad show.
@OfficialBrettJustin it's one of the songs from the show...I'm excited to be seeing it on Sunday! :) I'll be sure to post my thought here after the show! :) I promise to tell the truth! LOL...:)
@guillentio where were you sitting? :) I was in row P right side...
For some reason most of the 'action' is on the left side...so I would suggest sitting on the left next time...I'll be going back after the official opening...:)
@Hoohaa61 Row F center (next to Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick!!!!) I was again last week on Mezzanine... the flying action looks better from there... but the show still a mess. the new ending still not dramatic enough.
Hmmm... I know it's too early to say for sure, but this really doesn't sound very good. I've heard the U2 people say before that they don't like musicals, which instantly tells me that they have no idea how the medium works. The songs are meant to progress the story. This just sounds like some kind of droning, incomprehensible rock song. If there's any story being told here, I sure couldn't hear it.
Apparently this thing's being pushed back to January, which is the worst time to open a Broadway musical. Box office takings are always low in January, not enough to justify a $60m production. Why? Because they haven't sorted out the dialogue, the stunts, the music and scene-to-scene transactions, even though they've had God knows how long to do so.
This thing is going to plummet like a boy from the sky. And I don't take joy in that at all.
Glad you don't take any joy in the prospect of failure! There is only ONE reason I give a hoot about any of this and it is Reeve and the band CARNEY...If it were anyone one but Reeve as Peter Parker...I wouldn't even know it was 'in production'...The only reason I posted this clip was because my buddies in CA wanted to see Reeve...and GMA was preempted other programming... BTW if Spidey doesn't work out...Carney fans will still win...because they will go back on tour or head to a studio! :)
I did't understand one word of that song. Carney, you are adorable but u need to enunciate. You can't be on Broadway if you cant. Even if it is a rock musical u still have to say your words right. American Idiot is wrong and i can understand every word they are saying. This song is also like one really long chorus. It's just the same over and over and over again. It's extremely boring. so WOLFENNYC, hope off my jock. You are just some crazed U2 fan who doesnt understand theatre. Learn your shit
Oh, and apparently Bono calls this "Ulysses for the modern day...a morality play."
...Why can't a musical, especially a superhero one, just be FUN? And not disappear up its own arse and try and teach us a lesson? I get that whole great power etc. angle, but does it really need to be the only distinctive feature in any Spider-Man related media?
I hope the producers realised they threw in $60m for a musical comprised of U2's leftovers. This song is just there. It's not good, it's not bad, it's just...nothing. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence when you're putting on a Broadway show, which demands you be dramatic in your music.
Oh, and "Boy Falls from the Sky" - really inspiring title for Spider-Man. He's not fucking Icarus, he's meant to be graceful while travelling New York. Not plummeting to his death.
Haha this is probably the worst song i have ever heard! i cant wait to see the 60 million dollars invested in this show go to waste! Broadway is definitely changing for the worse and this is just one fine example of what happens when a talented guy like reeve gets suckered into playing a role that he shouldn't be playing and screaming music that is too high for him, not to mention peter parker is supposed to be a nerd small and timid looking. I remember going out for the auditions for this show!
Been following Carney since Reeve played on tour with my friend, Jonny Lang, a few years ago. I just knew he would make it big some day! Way to go, Reeve and the Band! You are awesome!
I like the song...what I don't understand is why the guy who plays Spider-Man (a SUPER-hero) looks like a scrawny emo tard. Shouldn't Spider-Man have some bulk? Toby Maguire did...
@OIvey257 uhh no you're wrong they are going back to the true nature of the comics...in which Peter Parker was a scrawny nerd not a bulked up man...and I wouldn't exactly call Tobey Maguire a guy who had some "bulk"
This is funny. I mean the responses, they're funny. "The song is supposed to further the plot"? Wait for the plot before you judge what this song says about it. Trust me, you'll know the words by then.
Or maybe its just a case that it's too poetic? Better the old standard Musical song? "I am going over here to stay out of sight, 'cause there is a bad man about to decend from a cable to stage right! Oh Look! hark, I doth hear him come! Oh no, cable's broken and he's on his bum"
@WhoDoYouWant I'm very supportive of this production and VERY supportive of the young Reeve Carney, his brother and band members who are very gifted musician/songwriters.
I've left the comments both 'rude and tasteless'...for entertainment purposes only! ha! :)
A lot of comic book fans have been saying how "SPIDER-MAN IS DEAD!"
They've been saying it since Civil War #2 (which was awful and insulting) They've been saying it ever since Amazing Spider-man #545 (which was even more awful and insulting) in great numbers He's dead in spirit. He's dead as a character. He's unrecognizable because he's magic or some other garbage.
After seeing this I'm even more convinced that THEY ARE RIGHT!
Joe Quesada killed him and this is the eulogy perhaps.
Jonathon Groff would be great in this role why did not choose someone with theatre knowledge and yes I can understand what he is saying but it is like translating Japanese into English which I can do btw.
@wolfennyc ok that made no sense. U2 is treating this show like a fucking concert. they expect this show to play 10,000 seat stadiums. their songs dont tell a story that furthers the plot. this show will be technically amazing. but the music will do NOTHING for a story. learn your shit before "insulting me"
@KeepItGayStageNazi you make no sense dipshit...no one ever said they expect this show to play 10,000 seat stadiums....I don't know where you got that from
and BTW ......10,000 seats is a small arena..not a stadium...you should learn your shit
@wolfennyc U2 themselves are saying they want this to play stadiums when or if it ever goes on tour.
i just made up 10,000. hop off my jock. u need to learn your shit. i bet u r just some U2 fan who knows nothing about theatre other than this. this is going to be incredibly mediocre compared to what else is already out there. fuck off wanker
@KeepItGayStageNazi you just pulled the # 10,000 and "stadiums" out your ass because you talk so much shit...you don't know what the fuck you're talking about...now you're pissed because I made you look like the asswipe that you are...that wasn't too hard to do..since youhappen to be a brain dead fuck...nice try but you lose,polesmoker
@wolfennyc ok you two...let's not take this all so serously! :) Can't we just all get along?...plesae keep the 'f' to a min...or I'll have to put you in time out! thanks! xo...
@wolfennyc i did pull the number 10,000 out of my ass, I'm not denying that one bit. I didn't pull the stadiums thing out of my ass though. I have been following this show ever since it was supposed to open LAST February. In interveiws since then, U2 AND producers have been saying they want this show to play stadiums when or if it ever goes on tour. Dont get all defensive when I insult a band. Im not insulting you, im insulting how fucking stupid U2 is. chill the fuck out kid.
It was so weird. I never watch this show, and I just happened to turn it on in time to see Bono and The Edge introducing these guys. I've been a fan of Carney for a while, and was pleased as punch when they were used on "The Machete" trailer.
The only problem I had with this performance is that the mixer seemed to lose Reeves vocals over the rest of the band towards the end of the song.
@Fracassi1 agreed they lost Reeve's vocals in the mix
and for the last time FYI....... PETER PARKER SINGS........NOT SPIDERMAN
Julie Taymor the director said they were NEVER,EVER going to have Spiderman sing,it was never considered....it would be corny and who could sing through a mask???
So idiots like Howard Stern and others who are going around spreading lies,pretending that Spiderman sings in this,when he never does should retract their false statements immediately
@wolfennyc When you're making a Spider-Man musical, people are going to assume the main character will be singing. People going to see this will assume he's singing. Also, can you message me the link that says Spider-Man won't be singing? Because I haven't read where Taymor states this.
@DrJohannFaust you know what they say about people who assume,right?
youtube "Julie Taymor on Directing Spiderman Turn Off The Dark" the clip is over a year and a half old and Taymor specifically says Spiderman swings over the audience,he acts..but Spiderman does not sing....Peter Parker does
@wolfennyc No, I don't. You're assuming I know, making you one of those "people who assume".
This song is still crap. It's boring, the lyrics are pretentious and have nothing to do with Spider-Man (Icarus doesn't inspire hope), the guitar riff is identical to Thrill Me Kiss Me, so U2 are just recycling their old shit, and Carney isn't right for it. Listen to any Broadway cast recording and all singers enunciate the words. Carney's got this rockstar drawl; fine elsewhere, but not for Broadway.
U2 have ripped off their own song: Batman Forever’s Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me for this at 0:50 and 1:55, it has a variation of the same guitar melody riff.
@debeolaurus Spiderman doesn't sing in this you idiot,Peter Parker does...maybe you should do a little research before you put your foot in your mouth next time
This is nothing like Peter Parker, but in a way I think that's better. This musical will probably be more successful as a complete departure from canon.
Sounds a bit like the U2 stuff from Batman Forever.
Regardless... no one is crying out or a Spider-Man musical, it's all new story and all new songs, broadway fans and comic book fans aren't necessarily the same group, and it's looks pretty bad.
Hoohaa - I found you. Thanks for taping this with your FB fan club people who didn't get to see this live. This is so much better than your JF videos.....you rock baby, luv ya...
The song is ok... I'm just not seeing how it's going to lend itself to a dramatic scene. Not yet at least. The bad guys costumes are gonna take a while to grow on me. I'll need to see them in action. The sets I'm impressed with.
It would be too easy to bash this... but I'm reminded that this is a theatrical production, not a movie So I'm keeping an open mind.
@eswolf84 look at you ..you're a fucking zero in the game of life ..having diarrhea for 3 days is about the best thing you can fucking accomplish in your pathetic sorry existence...btw learn how to spell you fucking moron...you criticize and you can't even spell...you are a fucking loser
@ckerca I just came away from a gig tonight at Pianos...he was fantastic! He's a natural! I'm certain that they will take good care of his vocals...he's been in rehersals for ages and if there was a concern I'm sure they have dealt with it! But you did make a good point...he does have to stay in top form! :)
Wow, terrible AND derivative of Hold Me, Thrill Me... Where can I buy tickets? And by that I mean, SPIDER MAN MUSICAL??? I'd rather watch Rent! AND I HATE RENT!
@JorgeFilipeTakeda i believe they plan on releasing an album consisting of the songs from the Spider-man musical. whether it's u2 playing or Carney's band playing I don't know.
This is going to be GREAT! I hope it pisses the Man-Gina fan boys off to the Nth DEGREE! those lil baby whiners should go back to their mama's teet!. Anway, not only are Bono and The Ege in THE BEST ROCK GROUP EVER! They are going to have a Kick Arse Spidey Musical.; Got my tix already
@StBowieno ha!! mangina! too funny...when are you going? I'll be there 'pre-opening day'...:) 11/14! The next night I go see Mumford and Sons for the second time! :)
oh please give it a rest....they wrote this music over 2 years ago before there was ever any specific band in mind to play the music...get over yourself with the "way under the skill level" bullshit....go listen to Yes or some other uber-progressive band
Yea I see what your saying they did write this stuff with no band in mind and I think it's really good stuff. monSTARxxx is just saying that Carney as a band can handle way more. They're not a progressive band. They play classic rock style stuff. Pretty cool if your into Beatles or Zepp.
@easleyrider They wrote this with U2 in mind back in 2006 for a U2 album, but they shelved it and then afterwards chose to use it here. I've only heard a low quality version of U2 playing it, but imo Bono sings it a lot better.
Would love to hear U2 play it. It's a decent song that could be even better with a better singer.
@wolfennyc The music is boring regardless of who they had in mind or if they had anyone in mind at all. Just because they're not an "uber progressive band" doesn't mean they aren't above the skill level of this music. I know for a fact that all the members are verytalented in more than just rock on their respected instruments. Infact, Zane Carney is one of the most music theory knowledgeable people I know. Don't be too butt hurt.
@monSTARxxx and who are you again? right you're a nobody...so I'll take what you say with a grain of salt..every shitdick has a negative opinion these days
Amazing how the internet has allowed a bunch of opinionated nobodies to think they are somebody by criticizing something just to feel better about themselves..when I see a band that has gone 30+ years with no lineup changes,changing their sound,playing full stadiums around the world in a recession..I tend not to criticize what they do
@wolfennyc You do realize everything you're doing is directly hypocritical? You're not anyone either. You're using the internet to express your negative opinion of my opinion to feel better about yourself and the overrated band that you listen to. Don't try to pretend you're better than me or anybody else.
@monSTARxxx You dumb fucking idiot,you don't get it what I'm saying is I don't argue with track records,which is what U2 has whether I like 'em or not.I hate the music of Kiss and Aerosmith,but I respect the fact that they have a long track record of putting out music people want to hear...so I won't go on their boards with negative opinions of their music,I just wont say anything at all...when Carney has a track record as long as U2 has,then you can talk,until then get lost Carney fan girl
@wolfennyc I'm sorry that I don't like bands just because they've been around for long. Honestly, most of the music listening audience doesn't like music for quality, they like it for "catchiness", so there are some bands that have longevity, but no substance. I'll take a talented new band over a mediocre band with a long track record any day. When it comes down to it, years don't make an album or song, talent does. Also, don't assume I blindly follow Carney as a "fan girl".
@monSTARxxx who knows...they chose this song...for some reason...I'm sure there are other songs that might sound a bit 'less boring'...I will let you know...check back here after the 14th of November...I'll be at the opening show...well the 'pre-opening'...I promise to give a VERY honest review! :)
@Hoohaa61 Oh neat! I have family on the East coast and I visit them usually like every year or so, so I'm sure I'll get some sort of a chance to see the show, but let me know how it is before haha.
@wolfennyc hey...my mom reads my channel posts...:) I'm 49 years old...(ha)..but I do love my mama...and I'll get an ear full!....I would like you to continue to post...but can you not use the f word? :) x PS...some very very great musicians (Nick Drake) did not have long careers...some cut their own careers short...others refused to 'conform'...duration has nothing to do with 'impact'...or talent...:)
why does everyone have to be so negative - i think it was pretty amazing....the sound quality was not great - so don't judge it on that - someone just made this a sa quick way to get it to their friends on the west coast....
sound quality was rough...I used my iphone to capture this...so...perhaps a reason it is hard to understand every word...BUT...even as 'Carney'...he does tend to muffle a bit...it's just his thing...:)
These guys are good if you're a liitle tween girl.

@wolfennyc ok that made no sense. U2 is treating this show like a fucking concert. they expect this show to play 10,000 seat stadiums. their songs dont tell a story that furthers the plot. this show will be technically amazing. but the music will do NOTHING for a story. learn your shit before "insulting me"
KeepItGayStageNazi 1 year ago
@KeepItGayStageNazi you make no sense dipshit...no one ever said they expect this show to play 10,000 seat stadiums....I don't know where you got that from
and BTW ......10,000 seats is a small arena..not a stadium...you should learn your shit
wolfennyc 1 year ago
@wolfennyc U2 themselves are saying they want this to play stadiums when or if it ever goes on tour.
i just made up 10,000. hop off my jock. u need to learn your shit. i bet u r just some U2 fan who knows nothing about theatre other than this. this is going to be incredibly mediocre compared to what else is already out there. fuck off wanker

KeepItGayStageNazi 1 year ago
@wolfennyc i did pull the number 10,000 out of my ass, I'm not denying that one bit. I didn't pull the stadiums thing out of my ass though. I have been following this show ever since it was supposed to open LAST February. In interveiws since then, U2 AND producers have been saying they want this show to play stadiums when or if it ever goes on tour. Dont get all defensive when I insult a band. Im not insulting you, im insulting how fucking stupid U2 is. chill the fuck out kid.
KeepItGayStageNazi 1 year ago
It was so weird. I never watch this show, and I just happened to turn it on in time to see Bono and The Edge introducing these guys. I've been a fan of Carney for a while, and was pleased as punch when they were used on "The Machete" trailer.
The only problem I had with this performance is that the mixer seemed to lose Reeves vocals over the rest of the band towards the end of the song.
Fracassi1 1 year ago
@Fracassi1 agreed they lost Reeve's vocals in the mix
and for the last time FYI....... PETER PARKER SINGS........NOT SPIDERMAN
Julie Taymor the director said they were NEVER,EVER going to have Spiderman sing,it was never considered....it would be corny and who could sing through a mask???
So idiots like Howard Stern and others who are going around spreading lies,pretending that Spiderman sings in this,when he never does should retract their false statements immediately
wolfennyc 1 year ago
@wolfennyc When you're making a Spider-Man musical, people are going to assume the main character will be singing. People going to see this will assume he's singing. Also, can you message me the link that says Spider-Man won't be singing? Because I haven't read where Taymor states this.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I just want proof.

wolfennyc 1 year ago
@wolfennyc No, I don't. You're assuming I know, making you one of those "people who assume".
This song is still crap. It's boring, the lyrics are pretentious and have nothing to do with Spider-Man (Icarus doesn't inspire hope), the guitar riff is identical to Thrill Me Kiss Me, so U2 are just recycling their old shit, and Carney isn't right for it. Listen to any Broadway cast recording and all singers enunciate the words. Carney's got this rockstar drawl; fine elsewhere, but not for Broadway.

Regardless... no one is crying out or a Spider-Man musical, it's all new story and all new songs, broadway fans and comic book fans aren't necessarily the same group, and it's looks pretty bad.
Sorry but I think it's gonna crash and burn.

Yea I see what your saying they did write this stuff with no band in mind and I think it's really good stuff. monSTARxxx is just saying that Carney as a band can handle way more. They're not a progressive band. They play classic rock style stuff. Pretty cool if your into Beatles or Zepp.
easleyrider 1 year ago
@easleyrider They wrote this with U2 in mind back in 2006 for a U2 album, but they shelved it and then afterwards chose to use it here. I've only heard a low quality version of U2 playing it, but imo Bono sings it a lot better.
Would love to hear U2 play it. It's a decent song that could be even better with a better singer.
JoRu94 1 year ago
@wolfennyc The music is boring regardless of who they had in mind or if they had anyone in mind at all. Just because they're not an "uber progressive band" doesn't mean they aren't above the skill level of this music. I know for a fact that all the members are verytalented in more than just rock on their respected instruments. Infact, Zane Carney is one of the most music theory knowledgeable people I know. Don't be too butt hurt.

@monSTARxxx You dumb fucking idiot,you don't get it what I'm saying is I don't argue with track records,which is what U2 has whether I like 'em or not.I hate the music of Kiss and Aerosmith,but I respect the fact that they have a long track record of putting out music people want to hear...so I won't go on their boards with negative opinions of their music,I just wont say anything at all...when Carney has a track record as long as U2 has,then you can talk,until then get lost Carney fan girl
wolfennyc 1 year ago
@wolfennyc I'm sorry that I don't like bands just because they've been around for long. Honestly, most of the music listening audience doesn't like music for quality, they like it for "catchiness", so there are some bands that have longevity, but no substance. I'll take a talented new band over a mediocre band with a long track record any day. When it comes down to it, years don't make an album or song, talent does. Also, don't assume I blindly follow Carney as a "fan girl".
