Peter Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Can't disagree I just watched the U2 clip again after I posted the link. I still get tears in my eyes watching and thinking back to it. It was almost part of the "healing" process. Bono's gesture at the end (what he did with his jacket - I will not spoil it for anyone who watches it) was very moving. I do not think I have ever heard a Super Bowl crowd react to U2 the way I heard them react and applaud at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The only rock act that I can think of that is big enough right now would be Foo Fighters. Which would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Apparently I am the only guy here hoping for a tractor pull. Unlimited class blown on nitro. NAH I would rather see what dress Byonce what ever wears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin' Rob Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) BEP was the worst. My only thought is why so knee jerk with these acts? Janet Jackson nipple = Geritol rock?(and I love Petty) Some one said green day...not my fave but much better than the past few years. As far as Beyonce goes, she is the best pop act since jackson /timberlake. Hell, at least it ain't nickleback, or ac/dc for that matter...the nickleback of their day! Metalica and foo fighters are good too...breast cancer is bad, who cares if the NFL goes pink for a month...has nothing to do with womens lib either. Old farts that rely on the 'womens lib' movement as an argument should study harder and find new arguments.

Big C Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, now Beyonce. Keeps getting worse every year. How are Madonna and Beyonce worse than The Black Eyed Peas? Beyonce is an icon of our time and for good reason, but let's face it, the half time show is the worst part of the Super Bowl. I don't care who is playing, it should never have been a thing.

biglukes Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 How are Madonna and Beyonce worse than The Black Eyed Peas? I don't think anyone could be worse musically than The Black Eyed Peas were. But none of the three acts are even the least bit appealing to me. Unless as DC Tom said, there is another wardrobe malfunction this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 No a fan but she has more of an appeal to more of the country than most of the acts suggested in the thread. For most of us here, we're watching anyways so they really don't care about marketing to us. And she's sexy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 It doesn't matter. I hear people saying they want Metallica...if you're into Metallica, wouldn't you sort of hate the 10 minute long greatest hits medley they'd be forced to play? You can go on youtube right now and find better footage of a Metallica show than would appear on the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I read something earlier that said that the ratings for Madonna's halftime show were slightly better than for the game itself last year. ... And that's Jenga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Maybe not next year, but sometime within the next year either Bieber or Gaga will be the performer and the world will end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BfloBillsFan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 U2 was the best -- especially given the context and the scroll of the 9/11 names. http://youtu.be/og0V1UtjPt4 That video stills gives me the chills. IMO, the greatest halftime show yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Beyonce elicits a "meh" response from me. If you're going the pop route, I'd prefer Katy Perry to be honest. I typically find Bono insufferable, but U2 was the best halftime show I've seen - followed by Prince and the Stones. I'm only a casual fan, but I agree that the Foo Fighters are tailor made for the Super Bowl halftime act. Too bad they're on indefinite hiatus.
