Members Bass8987 Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 NEW YORK (Billboard) - The Who will perform at Superbowl XLIV, marking the British band's first performance in North America since 2008.According to a report on SI.com, the Sports Illustrated website, the veteran band will take the stage during the halftime show of the 2010 National Football League championship game, scheduled for February 7 in Miami.The NFL has yet to officially confirm the report, saying, "When we have something to announce, we'll announce it."During a recent stop on his "Use It or Lose It" solo tour, frontman Roger Daltrey told Billboard.com that he and bandmate/composer Pete Townshend were working on new material for the Who's followup to 2006's "Endless Wire.""Hopefully if this tour has done it's job, I'll be in really good form as a vocalist," said Daltrey. "And who knows, we might make our best work."Townshend has acknowledged working on two projects -- a new musical called "Floss" and the Who's next album, which he has said will include some pieces from the "Floss" project. http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSTRE5AC0N320091113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kpax Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 God I hope not.I don't know exactly where than line is where a rock band becomes too old to perform but they're definitely over it. I saw a TV special honoring The Who about a year or so ago and it was PAINFUL to watch creaky old Pete Townshend and listen to Daltry's voice.Also, Pino Palladino SUCKS in a "Who" context - both his playing and tone.Pearl Jam and Incubus played Who covers on that TV special and BLEW AWAY The Who. There's an idea. If they want an established band to play the Super Bowl, get Pearl Jam or Incubus. I'm too much of a Who fan to watch what Townshend and Daltry are doing these days.

Members bluedogaudio Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 Is RHCP really RHCP? The obvious problem is two key members are missing from the Who. Who will be playing bass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 Why not? Is RHCP really RHCP?Hillel was good, but I've always preferred John? :idk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reverend179 Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 Why not? Is RHCP really RHCP? Apples to Oranges. RCHP made BETTER music in the post Hillel/Jack era. The Who died when Keith Moon did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Defender001 Posted November 14, 2009 Members Share Posted November 14, 2009 Can you really call them The Who anymore? In my opinion, no. It would be like Paul and Ringo playing and calling themselves the Beatles. I'm all for bands playing even when they're past their prime if that's what they want to do. But when almost everybody is dead already, that's where I would have to draw the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
