Who do you think would be good Superbowl Halftime performers?

[birdman14]

I would love to see a Kendrick or Kanye show, with the Foo Fighters as a support. I'm not a huge FF fan, but they would certainly be a big enough group.

Looking through this list, I find an interesting disconnect where people want their favorite artists to do the halftime, even if they have a tiny following, and would put on a boring show (in that context). In a perfect world, I would love a show done by Run the Jewels, Vietcong, and Hot Chip, but that will never happen. I'd be interested in seeing what everyone would reasonably want in a halftime show

Wasn't there a petition out there to get Weird Al to play the superbowl? That would be freaking AMAZING!!! Family friendly and appeals to the masses!! Plus he can have the actual artist who he covers make surprise appearances.

Otherwise, not really sure who I would like to see. Maybe if the Gun & Roses reunion goes over well, that would be a good show (If Axl can refrain from getting his panties in a bunch).

Most of the half time shows suck ... a few were good ... I usually skip them

Phish! Bring all the phans too to take over the super bowl parking lot

How about this drumline?

See and raise:

Antique roadshow would be more exciting than what they will do.
They continually play boy band/bubble gum dance music for an audience that could care less for either.

Skrillex Dud3z!!!!!!!!1

Even the Super Bowl halftime show isn't long enough for a Phish song.

The Who just did it 6 years ago.

Yes, and the performances have steadily gone down since then.

How could I have forgotten this...
The "In Living Color" halftime show broadcast live during Stuporbowl XXVI's halfime show (1992). DO THIS AGAIN!!! I don't remember the game, or even who played, but I remember this.

For you young whippersnappers, here's some history.

Now get off my astroturf!!!

Firstly I don't care that much for the halftime show.

Secondly I doubt any roots reggae acts will play the SuperBowl.

So I vote Kendrick Lamar. Or Method Man and Redman for a throwback.

Slayer .

Yes, and the performances have steadily gone down since then.

I love the Who, but Entwistle's death left a hole in the sound that simply cannot be filled, even by Pino. And sadly, Roger's voice has gone further downhill since that Super Bowl.

AC/DC!

 

[MultiScaleMale]

It doesn't matter really. Most of it will be recorded. So I guess I would just pick visual bling over someone or a group that I would want to hear.

 

[Grooveline]

Beyonce again. Beyonce every year so people can be told how to feel about things they didn't catch in the performance and I can keep laughing at our intelligence as human beings.

 

[the harp unstrung]

How about Vintage Trouble?

THERE! ya go!
If 150,000,000 people didn't know them beforehand, they'd dam sure remember them afterward!

Lets have milli vinnili play a song that they didnt play. Followed by mariah carry changing the words to a song she did not write ashley simpson can lip sinc along then justin timberlake can accidentally expose mariahs chest in a completeley unrehearsed moment or second thought Why don't they just put a computer on the stage and let it play music.
Pretty much the same as what they have been putting up.

Seriously... Foo fighters would fit and kill it.
