Potential Super Bowl halftime acts?

But tell me...can you dig this: |

I mean I wouldn't listen to it again, but I got through it without any ear bleeding. That's just too layed back, but not layed back enough... I know it doesn't make much sense, but that probably best describes my feelings towards that particular musical piece. It just doesn't raise any feelings one way or the other in me. And I'm not just into heavier music... I listen to a lot of electronic, drum 'n bass, rock, indie, punk rock, and classical music, for example. Basically, anything that is dark and depressing hits home with my Finnish personality, which is why I guess I love me some Johnny Cash. |

I like Metallica - most of their stuff. It's not hacked. But there is no comparison of Metallica and Van Halen. Van Halen was classified as "hard rock" early on, but I don't think that's accurate. Van Halen is its own thing, in much the same way that Metallica is its own thing, and that they are each their own thing is precisely why I like them as much as I do. Van Halen strikes a note with me. There aren't many bands that I really attach myself to like I have Van Halen. Let's see....hmmm...The Eagles...Ummm...Paul Simon...uhmmm...Led Zeppelin...uhhhh...Rush...maybe U2. I also really liked Tears for Fears and The Outfield and A-Ha and it took me a long time to really 'get' the Beatles, but I get it now. I dig Nirvana, but it wasn't until Cobain died that I got into them really. I'm sure there are others but not many. In the end, I like lots of stuff and I can at least appreciate the stuff I don't like so long as it's got something artistic going for it and so long as the people performing it aren't completely devoid of talent. Still, Van Halen is the ideal choice for a Super Bowl half time show. Frankly I'm surprised that they haven't been invited already. Maybe the NFL was just being smart and waiting for The brothers and David to make up.
