Metallica is a bad idea.

Well if you look at it like this a heavy metal band playing the halftime show = bad idea. Of course it would be. Now look it like this
1 They are a watered down mainstream band, they will not play anything from the days of when they came out.
2 They have many songs that are played over the radio, and could put a together a 15- to 20 mins of music that would be just like any other band. Mainstream.
3 They have played shows with a Symphony Orchestra. (Now I'm not suggesting this) but they can be very versatile, on how they play.

Ok here me out. Remember back in 2006 when the saints came back into the dome for the first time. U2 and Green Day played along with Rebirth Brass Band and a bunch of other local talent. That was at least to me amazing. Mardi Gras Indians kicked it on the stage. you see where I'm going with this.
So why can't this be done again? I think it could work, and if y'all disagree. Fine I can buy into it, if you tell me why it can not.
You get Kermit Ruffins doing his thing with other NOLA talent. It would be almost a duplicate show, a fun show that could work. Hell throw in some more acts as well then split time with a different artist.
Just don't say they would not work, cause they sure as hell can.
