Just Jack Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Someone mentioned Genesis, and I thought they've already been there. Found a list of performers, it wasn't Genesis, but Phil Collins was part of the 2000 halftime show. Interesting that up till 1988, they really did not go for big flashy groups like now.
reddogblitz Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Christ I'm only 25 and I'm wondering where Rock n Roll has gone. Please don't do it Angus! ! ! Rock 'n Roll is going where it always has. Following the money.
NobesBLO13 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 MEGAdETH No, no, no it's the super bowl ya gots to go the full tilt...Slayer...we want some angel of death...Git er Done Goodell !
Ennjay Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 As I said to my wife after halftime, I know Lawrence Welk is dead but can't they still get his band together? But seriously, U2. [EDIT: Wrote this before I read the rest of the answers. I'd forgotten U2 had already been there. Just please god no Jonas Brothers . . .]
Mark Vader Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Well said......they may be playing to the median age of the crowd who spends the $$ to attend the game and all its periferal activities and/or makes the advertising decisions for all the corporate sponsors. Hey aussiew, I like the new avatar. Why did'nt you tell us you joined the cast of Lost?
Ennjay Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 special guest appearance by Tina Turner Tina played the 2000 SB in Atlanta.
Ennjay Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 My money is on Bon Jovi. Safe, popular and anthemic. Also played that season opener in NY a few years ago, so it's like they've auditioned for the NFL.
Marv Levy Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 My vote is for Spinal Tap! That would be awesome! "The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin That's what I said. The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand Or so I have read. My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo. I love to sink her with my pink torpedo. Big bottom Big bottom Talk about bum cakes, My gal's got 'em."
Just Jack Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 No, no, no it's the super bowl ya gots to go the full tilt...Slayer...we want some angel of death...Git er Done Goodell ! Slayer? Too tame. Get Gwar.
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Let me say I thought the Who were quite good...considering they are pushing 70! My wife who grew up a huge Who fan was aghast at how old Daltrey and Townshend looked. And frankly Daltrey had to tone it down just to keep his voice from giving out. It made me think about why the NFL keeps dredging up these fossil bands? I mean the median age of a Who fan is probably 55. The median age of an NFL fan is much younger. So where does the NFL go next year? What 60's rock bands are left? Any other ideas from other decades? If I were to predict I think the NFL will chose a country artist for SBXLV. PTR I worked a concert once and got to meet Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent (The Zombies), Felix Cavliere's Rascals, Flo and Eddie with The Turtles, Country Joe McDonald, Lovin' Spoonful, Mountain, Canned Heat, Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels, Rare Earth and a bunch of others...it was pretty sweet. They honestly were great and they rocked, especially Argent and Blunstone! And the thing is, I am only 27 years old... But, I could see a big country star like Chesney, Swift or Underwood next year at Jerry's World. 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..." It took Ralph how long? Like, 4 years...to whip it? William Hung LOL. Nice work!
NobesBLO13 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Slayer? Too tame. Get Gwar. I likes. They could behead Aikman and impale Buck.
San Diego Bills Fan Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Easy Choice The Eagles one of the few bands that sound just as good live as their records do!
The Avenger Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Slayer? Too tame. Get Gwar. You've obviously never been to a Slayer show - when you go to see Gwar you have fun watching a bunch of people dressed up like Raiders fans complete with foam rubber helmets and spikes gong crazy and throwing meat into the crowd....when you see Slayer you get that feeling in the pit of your stomach that some serious evil is about to come forth and you could actually die.... Gwar is fun, Halloweenish evil - Slayer is just plain outright rip your face off evil
The Big Cat Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I'm 25 and I'm a huge Who and Classic Rock fan. I lot of people my demo (18-35) are. So far in this thread, some logical responses have been AC/DC and Santana. I really like the College marching bands the best. The person who suggested Gwar made me lol. But my choice (certainly not based on my own taste) would be The Eagles for next year. Another dark-horse could be REM, or something similar. If it was up to me, it'd be The Allman Brothers with Gregg, Derek Trucks, and Warren Haynes.
yungmack Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Richard Carpenter and Cher in a tribute to Karen and Sonny That's so off the wall it might actually work! With Phil Spector out on work release conducting the band, which would be the Tijuana Brass.
CodeMonkey Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Drew Staffords band (forget what its called) or Britney Spears ... we are due for another wardrobe malfunction.
