Members FUBTAG Posted February 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 It depends on whether or not Angus and the lads can still deliver the goods. Super Bowl producers seem to prefer hollow, dried up husks of once great bands. If AC/DC can still rock they wouldn't be a good fit.Did I mention that The Who were horrible? methinks you have been looking the other way whilst they have been out some bang up albums that past few years... and putting on some fukkin rockin shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emory Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 15 minutes of ACDC is about a half hour too much, imho. I know lots of guys love them, but I'm not one of them. Maybe a CCR reunion..... rednecks and dweebs can both enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fluoreszenz Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 The Pixies would just say: barely audible to an off-stage listener: "We're on the air? National TV?" clears throat"FUUUUUUU......" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesguyjon Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 the only band that's still got it is zeppelin, and robert plant isn't coming back so it isn't happening. for a moment i thought of the white stripes, but although i've never seen them live, i do have a couple bootlegs and i've heard negative things. phil x would put on a show velvet revolver? RHCP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benricci Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 velvet revolver? RHCP? Velvet Revolver broke up in 2008. And Anthony Kiedis is perhaps the absolute worst live singer in the history of rock and roll. He simply cannot sing in tune, on any song, ever. It's extremely painful to listen to.

Members Alex_SF Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yes, they pick dinosaur acts. Last time they tried something more current, they got burned when Justin and Janet took it on themselves to do something oh-so-shocking!!, so they've gone with the more safe acts ever since. I noticed Daltrey even changed the chorus of "Who Are You" to take out the F-bombs. As much as the younguns complain that they should put some new, hip, fresh acts on the bill, keep in mind that the event producers and the TV network have a couple of criteria for a halftime show that might not even enter into some of those kids' minds: (1) appealing to the people who've managed to score tickets and travel to the game (i.e., largely older and wealthy, emphasis on wealthy), and (2) keeping viewers tuned in all the way through halftime so the network can keep its advertising rates up. The White Stripes, the Pixies, Radiohead, the Ting Tings (who?????) are highly unlikely to go on the Super Bowl halftime show, because those who will be excited about seeing them (or have even heard of them, in a couple of those cases) are mostly very young people (or in the Pixies' case, overeducated and underpaid former-college-radio DJs now working at a used-record store ) --- who don't buy Super Bowl tickets, probably don't have lots of disposable income to appeal to advertisers, and like to think of themselves as largely above consumerism anyway. The rest of the TV viewers will change their channel when one of those groups comes on, and the other networks will put on alternative programming at halftime (puppy bowl, lingerie bowl, etc.) to capture those people's attention and sell their own advertising at jacked-up rates. Perhaps the brouhaha over Janet's Flapjack[son] will have died down enough, and the dinosaur-rock complaints will have been sounded enough, by next year for the producers to book someone else more contemporary. That act will have to have mass mainstream appeal to satisfy the criteria above, so indie / modern-rock / hardcore hip-hop is out of the question, but some country or R&B might work. And Lady Gaga's desire to be over-the-top with her appearance means I think we're safe from having her chosen, in light of the Janet Jackson thing. I think more likely contemporary acts would be something like the Dave Matthews Band, the Black-Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Avril Lavigne, or some combination of the above. A line-up like that might have HCEG longing for the dino-rock brigade, but is at least a realistic expectation. Or maybe they'll keep it in the rock vein & go with AC/DC. Or, looking at the most viewed touring acts on Pollstar and picking some likely ones, Joan Jett, George Thorogood, or the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members m90guy Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 Super Bowl 45 is being presented by Fox, so Im betting on a fantastic halftime show being put on by the castmembers of Glee. That should be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members m90guy Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yea and she'll probably decide that she should stop being such a cute little disney diva, and end up showing her naughty bits on national tv to coincide with her amatuer porn video being leaked to the media. Then we'll get Jock Jams preformed by University of -whatever college is close to the superbowls- marching band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
