Overseas Bills Fan Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I thought i would pose the question to the Bills fans  What is a band that has "NOT" played a SB half time show that you think is worthy of that task & has the resume to go along with being selected for that show ??  I have heard a lot of bands play for the SB half time show, some were great i thought, only to come on here & see people say it sucked & then the ones that i thought sucked (black eyed Peas) again i would come on here & fans would say it was awesome .  Usually the ones that people thought sucked were older groups like The Who, every one if i remember was bashing them for what ever reason (mainly because i think those fans were tone deaf but thats just me)  So if you were chosen to the committee that gets to choose who will be a group that would be considered for the gig of the SB half time show who might be the band that would be your write in candidate ??  And the second part of the question who would you have come back to do it again !!  My first is AC/DC !!! I have never heard them do a half time show WHY ???  Aerosmith would be my bring back band !!  Your turn Bills fans ...   Gordon Lightfoot.

Gugny Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) I saw some great ones in this thread:  ACDC GnR Van Halen (with Sammy, please - because DLR is done) Foo Fighters Green Day Pearl Jam Brian Setzer  Since every NFL and MLB team has adopted "Seven Nation Army" as its battle cry, White Stripes would be cool.  Tom Petty, IMO, was the 2nd best SB performance I've seen. Since Prince (the best, hands down) is gone, this would be my redux pick.  All in all, if I had to choose one who I think would be the most entertaining and likely to do it ... I think I'd go with Pearl Jam and I'm a bigger fan of pretty much every other artist/band that I listed. I just think Pearl Jam, in a small set, would absolutely rock with high quality tunes.

flomoe Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017   Gordon Lightfoot. As much as I like him as a songwriter, he might just be a tad mellow for the Super Bowl.  Has Genesis ever played it? Not their biggest fan but didn't see them mentioned upthread.  I'm not opposed to AC/DC, Van Halen, Metallica or pretty much any others mentioned. No more Beyoncé please!!

May Day 10 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I think foo fighters is probably the best choice. They are still prime, have a lot of tunes that are universally recognized, and they would have fun with it and dont take themselves too seriously. Â Pearl jam, my favorite is great on paper, but for various reasons, it will never happen. Â Green day would be a really good choice. Â Â There are some i could list off that arent realistic... like beck, primus, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Very surprised it took so long to mention Foo Fighters. The band, Dave Grohl and their set list is made for stadium rock. Dave Grohl might be the most electric live rock performer today. Jack White could be another good choice but other than a few songs (Seven Nation Army) I don't think many know his set list.

SinceThe70s Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Foo Fighters would be good until Grohl unloads a fusillade of F-bombs. Â Gwar has the Beavis and Butthead seal of approval so even though I've never heard them, thumbs up. Â Roger Waters would make things interesting. Maybe Neil Young could join him on stage.

Tenhigh Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I like the Metallica and GnR suggestions. I'd throw a surprise Pink Floyd or CCR Reunion (neither will ever happen, sadly).

May Day 10 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 With Pearl Jam.... I don't think they would ever agree to play with muted instruments/lip sync. It also doesn't seem to be the kind of corporate/mainstream environment they like to support (although they seem to be softening up a bit on that front). Â I would also think the NFL would have (justified) reservations on whether or not Eddie Vedder would crowbar a political message and/or inadvertently drop the F-Bomb. Â A great set for the event would be Betterman, Alive, and Rockin in the Free World. Can even bring out a guest of some sort for the last one.
