Half Time Show.
-
Whoa gip, green day is as big as the black eyed peas. Bigger even. I have no idea why you would shit on green day doing the halftime show and then suggest joni mitchell, Neil diamond, the pretenders, Elvis costello or van morrisson.
Maybe in your mind....and maybe in certain charts, Green Day is as big as the Black eyed peas.
But that is like saying the Black Keys are as big as the Black Eyed Peas.
The Black Keys may in fact be one of the best acts going...and I would be prejudiced toward them, they being from Akron....but they are not a scintillating live act.
But in the Pop culture World Green Day is viewed as either an emo band, or heavy metal, or whatever.
They may as well bring out Eno to do "Another Green World" as have Green Day, as high as their profile is.
People will think that the Packers are the halftime show if you have Green Day.
And none of this is meant to disparage Green Day musically.
But, I guarantee you, if it comes to high profile, every one of the acts on the list I gave will have a much higher profile than Green Day.
Add Alice Cooper to the list.

Joni Mitchell? Lmao. Alice cooper plays the rib-burn off.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

The Black Keys are popular, but they're not on the same level as Green Day, not even close. They might be among the most popular bands in the game now, but their popularity and longevity come nowhere near Green Day's. I wasn't trying to attack older music by any means, but too many of these guys are past their primes. Daltrey's singing was awful when The Who had the half time show; his voice is shot. I don't want to see that. I think a third of your list would be artists who were once great singers but their voices are toast.
Plus, you're going to put REM on that list but exclude Green Day? Since you love stats so much, here you go.
Made the Billboard 200 Albums of the Year Chart in: 8 times
Made the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Year Chart in: 2 times
Made the Top Artists of the Year Chart in: 1 time
Made the Billboard 200 Albums of the Year Chart in: 10 times
Made the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Year Chart in: 1 time
Guess which band is which.

It doesn't matter, Green Day does not have cache with the pop music crowd....and the Super Bowl is all about the Top Pop.
Albums don't mean shit.
If that were the case then Jethro Tull and Procul Harum would the shit.
They aren't when it comes to POPULAR Music.
You are far more likely to see the following long before you see Green Day:
Katy Perry, Tiny Canadian Pussy Douche, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, Beyonce/Jay-Z, Kelly Clarkson, J Lo, Adele, Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift....hell, even Snoop Dog long before you see Green Day.
Sorry, that is just the way it is. Geen Day may be better musically than everyone of them...If I gave them enough of a listen I might like them better than every one of them...but that is not going to give them the pop music stones to get on the Super Bowl halftime show....as the lead act.
They may get a support role, like Ce Lo Green and those others did to Madonna...or, maybe in 25 years after they have been inducted into the RRHOF and have become a nostalgia act they may get the SB gig. But not now.

Foo fighters, weezer, green day, metallica, pearl jam, red hot chili peppers would all be better than that list, and people under 50 might give a shit. Hell as far as "superstars" go no one on your list matches the star quality of people like snoop dogg or eminem. I'm not saying they're good just that more people would care to see them than would probably care to see Neil diamond these days. And I love me some cracklin' rose.
Why not led zepplin or Boston? Or journey? Or ac/dc, or ozzy? If were going to harken back to the good old days, they are 1000 times more appealing than Elvis costello, joni mitchell or Alice cooper.

Joni Mitchell? Lmao. Alice cooper plays the rib-burn off.
Joni Mitchell? Lmao. Alice cooper plays the rib-burn off.
Joni would be way too subdued and depressing for the SB I agree....but Alice Cooper wouldn't be.
They are just the kind of legendary Rock and Roll act the SB may go for.... an act that used to fill stadiums...or, maybe not. Alice Cooper maybe be TOO edgy and morose for the SB.
And Green Day will be playing rib burnoffs before they do the Super Bowl.
Or, like I said, maybe they will do Punk Act Nostalgia night like they did with Motown a few years back. They'll get Iggy Pop, the Sex Pistols, The Ramones, and Green Day all together for a show..

Well, that first group wouldn't be better, just a bit more current perhaps. And they are not more appealing...that is all a matter of taste. (In fact, all you have done is list those act that suit your personal taste. The SB committee don't give a shit about your personal taste.) But those second guys would be the sort that could go on the SB list, as they are legendary Acts. And, FYI, Boston, Journey, Led Zep would have to re-form to perform...or in some cases you would have to raise people from the dead, like the lead singer of Boston. (but yes, the ones you mentioned have more cache than Green Day)

Actually that's not my personal taste, that's exactly what you said...more current bands that are safe for the sb and that I'd imagine would have a wider appeal to the sb demographic than say...Madonna. I'm all for the stones, tom petty and springsteen doing it, but I wouldn't hate seeing some other, more current rock acts play.

And when I say better I just mean better for the superbowl than the likes of van Morrison , Neil diamomd, James taylor, Paul Simon, Neil young etc. I like all of those performers but I don't think any of them is high energy enough for the superbowl. Can you imagine Simon standing there playing what? The boxer? How about taylor? Fire and rain? Sweet baby James? Neil young would be in the same boat as your opinion of green day. They've probably achieved more chart success and yes, they have longevity. They've been on the radio for 15 years now. You pooh-poohed them, but the fact is they're huge and high energy, perfect for the super bowl.

Green Day isn't heavy metal.. they're an alternative band with heavy punkishness.
Come on... Niel Young? He's not high profile.

Yes. That's actually a great idea. They are indeed legendary. It's still really difficult to get tickets.

You're right about guys like Simon & Taylor. Neil Young can be plenty high energy- when he chooses to. But it's all about visual impact now- so scratch Neil.
People here are so uninformed.
This is the SUPERBOWL...and for its halftime show it is going for SUPERSTARS.
That is why you see the headliners being.....The Who. The Rolling Stones. Bruce Springsteen. Madonna. Paul McCartney.
How do you like this fare for future lineups, if some of them live that long:
Bob Dylan Rod Stewart Voices totally shot
Van Morrison Joni Mitchell Billy Joel James Taylor Paul Simon Neil Diamond Far too mellow
Elton John (he did a commercial for yesterday, why not the show?)Tina Turner David Bowie Santana The Pretenders John Mellencamp Red Hot Chili Peppers all possibilities in my book
The Eagles Fleetwood Mac Aerosmith R.E.M Edit: David Gilmour Lotsa luck getting these guys back together for a concert
Guns n Roses Never, no way in hell after they stiffed and showed up late for countless gigs
So, be glad with these.... and STFU or maybe the Super Bowl will bring back Up With People and Andy Williams types...(you want Michael Buble?)
It doesn't matter, Green Day does not have cache with the pop music crowd....and the Super Bowl is all about the Top Pop.

With the Zep, only Plant and Page are above ground, and Page isn't reliable. Ditto that Boston's lead singer is dead. AC\DC is a possibility. Foo fighters, weezer, green day, ain't the right demographic. I love Metallica, but I doubt they'd do the SB- and I doubt the folks in charge would want them.

I will preface this by saying I am not at all a huge Green Day fan. I do like there music and I do love music in general.
Green Day is HUGE dude. And they are far from emo or metal...in fact you calling them metal or emo is laughable and it shows your ignorance to A. Green Days music and/or B. what emo or Metal actually is. Green Day is now at this stage in there career a pop band. They have had HUGE records and still sell out arenas when they tour. There American Idiot record was even turned into a broadway play. On top of all that they have been out for just about 20 years now. Green Day is so much bigger then Black Eyed Peas it is laughable to even compare them. They would in fact be a perfect half time show. In another 5 years BEP will be gone and forgotten and Green Day will probably be being inducted to the R&R HOF. Green Day is bigger then most of the bands you even named ... like REM, Chili Peppers, Joni Mitchell, The Pretenders, Joni Mitchell, Bob Seger, Tina Turner, Van Morrison, Alice Cooper, ETC ... You are really under selling Green Day and the impact they have made on music over there career. The only thing the people you names have over them is that they have been around longer. All that really means though is that they are older not better.
Green Day, Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters would all be a perfect blend of Huge and "hip" bands to perform for half time.

green day.....is bigger than chili peppers and REM, van morrision, seger?
how old are you.....16? green day was just another MTV-promoted one-hit-wonder that sold out into the pop band you describe. my wife, being a real punk chick, laughs at people like you that think that crap was actually good. you look at the crap corporate rock and eat it up cause they tell ya too.....
foo fighters? lmao...yeah, the guy that got rich off kurt cobain made a crappy MTV band and thats whats apprpriate for the superbowl?
pearl jam didn't suck so bad, but damn you dont know shit about real music.

I will start by saying I'm a huge Green Day fan. (calling them emo or metal is funny) I saw those guys at Gilman Street when they were called Sweet Children and Mike Dirnt was still Mike Pritchard. I've seen them go from playing bars and parking lots on a flatbed trailer to stadiums. I learned to separate my enjoyment of music with my political views long ago being a fan of punk and alternative music while not being a left winger.
Green Day & The Foo Fighter are definetly SB halftime quality. There big a enough and have been around long enough. The Foo's filled Wembley Stadium.

I'm complaining about them, I'm saying it's nice that we make them included.
The whole BJ in the restroom is straight from your head, brother.

Well, that first group wouldn't be better, just a bit more current perhaps. And they are not more appealing...that is all a matter of taste. (In fact, all you have done is list those act that suit your personal taste. The SB committee don't give a shit about your personal taste.) But those second guys would be the sort that could go on the SB list, as they are legendary Acts. And, FYI, Boston, Journey, Led Zep would have to re-form to perform...or in some cases you would have to raise people from the dead, like the lead singer of Boston. (but yes, the ones you mentioned have more cache than Green Day)
Actually that's not my personal taste, that's exactly what you said...more current bands that are safe for the sb and that I'd imagine would have a wider appeal to the sb demographic than say...Madonna. I'm all for the stones, tom petty and springsteen doing it, but I wouldn't hate seeing some other, more current rock acts play.

FYI, Madonna has just as much or more appeal to the SB audience as anyone. I mean, lets face it, in the history of rock music, she was the female Elvis.
As for current "rock" acts that you would like to see play....I guess I would have to ask how you define that. Isn't Black Eyed Peas current enough for you? Ce Lo Green? Or do you not consider them "rock acts". In the last few years you had the greatest rock acts in history play the Super Bowl. The Holy Trinity in fact: A Beatle, the Rolling Stones, The Who. Yes, not current...but legendary.
Like I said, with the antics of whateverthefuckhernameis the other day, expect to see more older acts...not someone trying to make a name for themselves by giving the finger to 110 million people. Expect Elton John or Bowie.
If you want current, I guess it is possible for someone like Coldplay to get the nod. They might be a good choice.

Far from 16 buddy ...
How can you call Green Day a MTV promoted 1 hit wonder? and then tell me I know shit about real music.
Plain and simple 1 hit wonders don't last 20 years .... And at this point Foo Fighters have been around almost 20 years as well. They aren't simply making money off Kurt Cobain ... they are putting out good records. If they sucked they would have went away like sweet 75 (Kris Novaselic's band)
You might not like Foo, Green Day, or Pearl Jam which is fine because I am not a huge fan of them either, but it is ignorant to call them "MTV" made bands when they are still putting out "hit" records and selling out arena's in a time where MTV doesn't even play music.
**edit** Green Day has won 5 grammys and sold 65 million records world wide (which is crazy when you consider the second half of there career was in the middle of the digital age where everyone and there mother pirates music) not bad for an MTV promoted one hit wonder
