birdog1960 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Agree on Bon Jovi. Seems like the next safe superstar act the NFL can hire. Plus Jon Bon Jovi owned an Arena team (Philly Soul) and let it be know he wants to buy a piece of an NFL team. AC/DC, another solid choice. Black-Eyed Peas, great modern choice. The Eagles, another classic rock/country superstar band. Taylor Swift anyone? PTR Only if she used an autotune...got to be the least talented grammy winning singer in recent history...would be much worse than the Who
billsfan714 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Liberace? Seriously, has Aerosmith ever performed? I seem to vaguely recall but not 100% sure. Superbowl 35 Aerosmith-Britney-Nsync
kasper13 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I guess dead people count because there were a few onstage yesterday. Go real old school- Lawrence Welk with Glenn Miller, Liberace and Kate Smith. Or if the NFL were cool, The Rat Pack. Maybe Elvis, not Fat Elvis though, sends a bad message to the kids. How about the Beatles Reunion for the halftime show??? I don't think John Lennon would agree though. He hasn't said much in the last 30 years.
playman Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Oh, forget the 60s - and the 70s for that matter. BRING ON THE 80s!!!! I'd like to see Devo in their funky "energy dome" hats! "When a problem comes along, you must whip it..." that would be great. my all-time favourite band. SHOUT..
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 ColdplayThe Raconteurs John Mayer Good call. Probably not popular enough though.
shrader Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Yep, 2002 Patriots vs. Rams That's one I'll never forget. And to think some people at the apartment where I was watching that one wanted to switch to some skimpy longerie halftime show instead. Thank god I won out on that decision. I enjoyed last night's halftime show quite a bit. Of course, I was in a pretty loud bar, so the music was most of what I could hear.
DarthICE Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I would go with the Police or Genesis. Then again Nickelback would be awesome as well
flomoe Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Well, the Super Bowl is in Dallas next year, so it will probably be either a country singer or a southern rock band. Some of the other suggestions like AC/DC were good but they will probably opt for county considering Jones will probably have a say in who is playing in his stadium.
1billsfan Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I love the halftime shows. It brings a sense of communal experience to a 500 channel, satellite radio nation who's attention grows more and more scattered every year. I think Van Halen (with David Lee Roth, duh) would do a Superbowl halftime show justice. It needs to be an American band this time around and Bon Jovi has been way too visible for it to be a special event.
BuffaloBill Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Oh, forget the 60s - and the 70s for that matter. BRING ON THE 80s!!!! I'd like to see Devo in their funky "energy dome" hats! "When a problem comes along, you must whip it..." though whips might cause wardrobe malfunctions.
billfan63 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Want mass hysteria, reunite the Partridge family. If they could get Susan Dey on board I'm sure Rueben could hammer out a deal with the NFL
Just Jack Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Want mass hysteria, reunite the Partridge family. If they could get Susan Dey on boardI'm sure Rueben could hammer out a deal with the NFL I was just thinking of posting that. Maybe Danny Bonaduce will go crazy and sucker punch someone.
daveydanceswithwolves Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 If they choose what passes for modern "country" for next year I'll certainly tune out. Most modern country is absolute crap played by no-talent assclowns. pretty sure country artist are the only ones that can really sing these days. unless we're talking about taylor swift but she is more pop than anything.
Haven Moses Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 The best halftime was when Diana Ross left in the helicopter. They should just get the pants on the ground guy.
Cynical Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Creed and Limp Bizkit. Maybe we will finally see that boxing match.
reddogblitz Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Please no Foo Fighters !!!! I would recommend the following: Santana Garth Brooks John Fogerty Van Halen
NobesBLO13 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 AC/DC would be a great choice for the show. They're old and somewhat non-threatening, so they fit the NFL criteria and having just seem them last November, those geezers still rock out with their roosters out. Would actually make for a very, very HIGH energy half-time show. Except Hells Bells would be off the set list...and maybe Whole Lotta Rosie. Sad that AC/DC is now considered a safe choice. They were once blamed for inspiring a serial killer through their 'devil worshipping' music. Would the NFL allow Angus to put up the horns behind his head? Christ I'm only 25 and I'm wondering where Rock n Roll has gone. Please don't do it Angus! ! !
