Come on now Syd. We’re both too damn old to involve ourselves with who is and who is not punk rock.

With that said, Green Day is punk as fuck. They came up organically. Lookout Records, Gilman Street, they paid their dues. Yeah, they sold out, but l can’t blame them. 

Their lead singer has had a cold his whole career?

na, they just suck and I hate that  punk rock thing they try to promote themselves as, Punk is not dead, go to any local venue that has a punk show going on wearing a green day shirt I bet that person would get their ass kicked

I don’t think they’re controversial enough to play the Superbowl. If it doesn’t get people squawking and gawking then the NFL might actually have to spend money to market it. 

The only people who thought Bad Bunny - one of the most popular music acts in the world that was asked to do the Super Bowl halftime show for a league that is constantly trying to expand its footprint beyond the U.S. - was "controversial" are the grandkids of people who thought black people should have their own water fountains.

Green Day is "Unamerican" to people who support absolute jokes of presidents like George W. and the current one man criminal enterprise. 

But hey, it gives the culture warriors on here yet another thing to cry about, so there's that.

Bring in a half naked Taylor Swift. That'd cover just about everything in one shot. ?

these guys   should have played

I’ve see ‘em! Might have been around ‘08 or so, they definitely played this song and a few others from the album “Death By Sexy.” That was my fave by them.

They looked like a bunch of Lesbian bull dykes..

i had to look it up but 2020 six piece 

@sdbacker80 said:

Killing it.  Can they play for Bad Bunny 

Yesss, l was into it. I wanted more songs. When did they become a 6 piece though? 

And why does Jon Bon Jovi look like the Fonz?

Great idea - he crushed it!  Remember Janet Jackson's Peak-a-Boob?    

I remember they rolled out every senior citizen rock and roll act after for years after... ?

With the way Chris Stapleton absolutely hit it out of the park with the Anthem a few years ago, I'm surprised they haven't considered him.

While I agree with your post, we might as well get used to the Rap/Hip Hop performances.

As long as Goodell has Jay Z calling the shots, it will mean more of the same.

I’m all for rotating the genre of music every year…but that’s just my 2 Pennie’s.

I love the idea of Green Day playing the Super Bowl... especially right now. 

All we're missing now is Vanilla Ice as the warm-up Band.  Maybe some day Little Caligula will be able to understand the difference between Greenland and Iceland. On the positive side, but be careful not to count on it - a Nobel Peace Prize is probably possible for any leader in the world that doesn't attack his own cities or neighboring countries to the north and south.  It's a very doable prerequisite.

Metallica would be a killer halftime show. I don’t know if they still do this, but l remember a few years back the NFL decided to stop paying the halftime show performers. If that’s still their policy l imagine they’re not going to get many mega acts. I figure a band like Metallica has worked too hard for too long to put up with that. 

I do think it would be a helluva great idea to have a metal-centric halftime show.

I'd rather see Green Day playing in the Super Bowl than Green Bay any year!!!   Great band!

Heck yeah. Although l can’t hate on Green Bay too bad. That’s my daughter’s fiancé’s team. Plus l respect how the residents of Green Bay own the team with stock shares, which means they’ll never leave Green Bay. I think us Browns fans can appreciate that.
