Kirby Jackson Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 As someone that spent 13 years in New Orleans, I’m not happy with the Kendrick Lamar choice (at all). I like Kendrick quite a bit too. New Orleans is the home of American Music. You need a big name to headline the Super Bowl. This absolutely should have been Lil Wayne, with John Batiste, St. Aug Marching 100 and Trombone Shorty (amongst others). This should be New Orleans. The NFL missed the mark here.

dpberr Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) My contributions: You'd never see: 1. A short movie specifically made for Halftime, like BMW did with "The Driver" series with Clive Owen. BMW made some fantastic short films - 10 to 11 minutes long. The latest one, filmed in 2016, has Owen, Jon Bernthal, Dakota Fanning and Vera Farmiga, directed by Neill Blomkamp. 2. A super band created for the event with original music. I always think of something like Power Station where you had the Taylor brothers from Duran Duran, Robert Palmer, Tony Thompson on drums and Bernard Edwards on bass.

PayDaBill$ Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) The Half time show is now time for me to hit the bathroom, have a cocktail and grab more food. I couldn’t care less. Everything since this run has been trash; 2010: The Who 2009: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 2008: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 2007: Prince 2006: The Rolling Stones 2005: Paul McCartney its been almost 15 years of meh since!

Damian Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Five Finger Death Punch would bring the house down! Besides Elvis, they are the only musicians to receive the Soldier Appreciation Award for all the shows and work they've done with our troops.

MiltonWaddams Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Billie Eilish would do a great job of boring me to death. So they will probably get her at some point. I think I would be good with G n R in it’s current form. It’s time for a rock band again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 If the halftime show was any good, when would I go to the bathroom? 29 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: As someone that spent 13 years in New Orleans, I’m not happy with the Kendrick Lamar choice (at all).

I believe Salt Lake City is the home of (the) Jazz. Not only doesn’t it fit, but why not rake in all the merchandise $$$ by rebranding a bit? I never got that.

Goin Breakdown Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Well if they don't rub their crotch and sniff their fingers after, then I'm not sure if they'd have a chance to perform at halftime, but I'd like to see the Big 4 of heavy metal do some sort of collaboration.

mjd1001 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 30 minutes of the best of the best marching bands. They get 5-6 minute each...put on the best show possible. And I'm not joking, some of the 'shows' that some marching bands put on are pretty damn impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Evidentially, there was a year in the '80s where Hall and Oates were set to play the SB halftime, with Wham opening. In the end, Darryl Hall and George Michael said no, but Oates and Ridgeley said they'd still do it. The NFL opted for a marching band instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I would never want my favorite bands to play the halftime show. It's designed to be a spectacle, not a showcase for musical talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
