Probably so, but they do For Whom the Bells Tolls at games. A set of old songs from their early days. Like Hit the Lights, Creeping Death, Four Horsemen, Search & Destoy. That should pump up the players & at least me.

I'd love it too, and tens of fans in attendance would love it too.

Every since they had the "wardrobe malfunction" they kept it old school until recently. My vote is for Joe Cocker.

I am not knocking anyone's opinion here.
SB half time is a big , mucial spectactular performed by legendary acts or whoever is really hot on the charts and has crossed over and over. It has to be an entertainer that is really mobile, flashy, can reve up the audience .

Me, I like everything from Bach to Rock as the saying goes.
Some of these entertainers, no. Ozzy, Meatallica, Scary Slipnot, no way. Never. Not crossover.
Heavy metal has a chance as much as real hard core rap. No .
If I am not mistaken , Rolling Stones, U2, BonJovi, Kiss, Bruce Springsteen have already played.
I am going to look that up.
I like these groups , but then that is just me. I agree with ya'll about just university good bands of that state. I like how they scramble in formation and show the score and then again and show the letters of each team.

Grandma' Moses Madonna, ugh. I like older Madonna when she was younger in the 80's, 90's. Of course, she had to go nasty in her SB performance trying to shock because that is Madonna, but Madonna, her style, had have her minions do it and M.I.A. did just that.
I thought it was awful and why did they pick Old Nasty Madonna when she , common sense, was going to do this.
I agree after Boobgate, which Janet Jackson and Justine Timberlake did on purpose, the NFL kept it really safe there for a few years. They went with real safe entertainers.

I think for NY, well, NJ SB next year, play it safe and have Broadway cast from various plays which will be out then.
Older, yet safe acts: Cher.

I like Keith Urban , some people don't. I think he was fine for , I think it SB in Dallas.
Shania Twain did it before. I like her. I like Country Music., Shania was all over all the charts during that time.
That is just my opinion.

I agree with you all about some entertainer related to the culture of that host city.
I like Beyonce. She did her act . That is what she does. I think she is so overkill now. I would have liked to see for N.O. hosting , N.O. entertainment.
I think for a SB in N.O. once before, N.O. artists had it like Dr. John, Irma, Nevilles, and I think, I am sure the late Pete Fountain entertained way back for a SB in N.O.
For N.O. and I do like Beyonce, but I wish it could have been N.O. related, you said, because there is some kind of culture. Shoot,they could have had a whole dern parade pass through one endzone in the Dome and out the next. Krewe of Blaine Kern Company could have made Krewe of Superbowl or Krewe of NFL. A float for each NFL team. Of course , Kings' float out first with King Sean Payton. Had that other man we don't like (Goodelle) have to toast King Sean and on his float , pages Brees, Vilma, Vitt, Loomis . Yeah, I would have like that.LOL!

Opps, when N.O. hosted the SB, there already was Mardi Cras themed ones.

WhoDat!636, I am glad you put up this thread.

Interesting. It seems as recent as 2002, 03, 04, the big change came with one entertainer taking the whole show.
It seeemd better when it was shared by several, it seemd more neutral with something from different genre's, ages, and the entertainers were more neutral. Easy.

Ss it stands now, there is no turning back to a shared stage and show.

The half-time show is just a huge advertisement for the person. They don't get paid, and even have to dish out money. But in the long run, they get sales due to publicity. Getting a good band or whatnot to perform is nearly impossible.

Don Ho with his classic Tiny Bubbles. That should please the Bible thumpers.

I'm sure Rihanna, Taylor Swift and katy Perry are jockying for that slot as we speak. How bout a magic show? I like illusionists
