And the Super Bowl Halftime Performer is?

Chris in Philly : 9/19/2018 1:38 pm
Maroon 5, ladies and gentlemen!

Barf.
Good choice  
PatersonPlank : 9/19/2018 1:39 pm : link
Lots of hits, and a safe choice
I would've guessed Imagine Dragons - seem shitty and safe enough

Maroon 5 also completely sucks. Safe enough for the corporate folks to feel like they're rocking out.

Love The Foo. But I think a large percentage of NFL fans (it's about the TV audience, most likely) are country music fans? I know this band isn't country, but it's somewhat mainstream.

Hell, I don't know. Would be awesome, though.

Then again, maybe they HAVE been invited and Dave decided he couldn't get through 4 songs without (a) laughing/making fun of something about the scene, and/or (2) swearing.

The first Super Bowl that I watched with my girlfriend, I made a bet that the Foo Fighters would be playing at halftime within the next 3 years.

She is now my wife of 10 years. That Super Bowl was when Prince played.

It defies logic in my mind. Outside of a potential curse word, he is much safer than a lot of the performers that they have had. He would just rock out with no sexual undertones.

I don't get the NFL anymore.

True about time being cruel but I think too many surgeries destroy what were once incredibly hot chicks. It is like the hotter you are, the more surgeries you get, the horrific you become.

U2 did the SB after 9-11. They were superb. My son was born that evening - 2/3/02.

They are a great band. Whether you like them or not, it is amazing how they have endured with absolutely zero change to any members, etc.

Just look up some live videos. Even if not your type you can’t deny the talent. And compared to the rest of the trash on the radio these days I’d take them over just about anyone else.

Moreso than Maroon 5? I didn’t “mind” them until they did a song with Cardi B, now they are absolute trash to me. Talk about trash, Cardi B might be one of the worst artists I’ve ever heard.
I group them together,  
Go Terps : 9/19/2018 4:58 pm : link
but that's just not the music I'm into, and I get that everybody's into their own thing.

If we're honest, the SB halftime is a pretty lame gig. It's not high on the list of cool shit to do. I went to the Super Bowl in New Orleans a few years back (the blackout game), and my buddy and I left the stadium during the halftime show (I think it was Beyonce but I'm not sure). It was cringeworthy and we couldn't take it.

What was cool was the marching band that played before the game - I think it was from Southern University. They were fantastic. I think the NFL misses an opportunity to incorporate local musicians into the halftime show. But I guess that wouldn't work for the corporate types.

Again you’ve got to think about garbage you here on the radio until it makes your ears bleed. Overplayed garbage that appeals to the masses from age 15-50 basically. Stuff kids, parents and corporate America all recognize and can sing along too.

Maroon 5 is one of those bands that does exceedingly well and yet I've never personally met anyone who likes them. They're the Everyone Loves Raymond of music.

He was asked something along the lines of how he would respond to critics, and he said, "if everybody likes your art, you're fucking doing it wrong."

It was as if he thought those who didn't appreciate Maroon 5 simply couldn't comprehend them, as if their music is challenging in some way.
