Sorry, I know you said a simple "yes" or "no", but I want to elaborate. Before putting any thought into it, I believed that they would easily have 4 hugely popular tunes that were generic enough to fit into a 4-song Super Bowl medley. But after thinking about it, what could they play? "Alive" is a big well-known anthem, but is the lyrical content something that would fit? "Jeremy" definitely is not... don't want songs about a teenager killing himself during the Super Bowl! I guess I could see "Alive", "Even Flow", "Betterman" and "The Fixer" in a medley.
Keep in mind, I hope that this never ever happens.
i guess ill not be in the stadium to see it live,,so NO
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
yes. but I agree with the last poster. The superbowl halftime show is more suited to your average stadium rock band, like The Who, Aerosmith, U2, etc. Not bands with songs with actual meaning behind them that might depress the crowd!

I long ago stopped caring much about this "sell out" shit that so many people seem so hung on. Unless they appeared on a show that was degrading to music or the industry (ie American Idol) or on a commercial that went against what they have spoken out against in the past (ie Hummers), what's the big deal?
The Super Bowl may be a corporate headfuck in terms of advertising etc., but I don't see how it would degrade the band or bring down my opinion of them.
The way I see it, PJ at the Super Bowl would mean more exposure for them, more money for them, and more live PJ for me. Sounds like a recipe for a big fat YES.

No. The mere thought of them cutting their hit songs down and molding them together into a medley just seems wrong. I understand them omitting a swear word on tv, but I just can't envision them ever just playing 1-2 minutes of each song before moving on to the next.
I'm not going to give you a YES/NO answer. I'm going to give you a sarcastic, profanity-filled, 12 minute setlist, of course!

Personally I really don't care. If they do, they do. If not, so be it. But all the people who don't want to see them play a halftime show will watch regardless. You know you would. There was so much shit on this board about them selling out to Target, but we all bought Backspacer, right?
If they did it would just confirm to 99% of the population what they already think......Same thing I said watching Bruce last year and The Who last night......
I could see it happening, but I hope it doesn't. Don't know what any of you thought about The Who yesterday, but it only confirmed, for me, that they need to hang it up. Roger can't sing anymore. Rest of the band looked and sounded great, but Roger's done.
it wouldn't bother me too much. it makes me wonder who else is capable of playing at halftime. thoughts?
I think the Foo Fighters would be a good SB halftime band.

his lower register is still solid, i think. but the higher he goes, the older he sounds.

I do. Think about the bands/acts that have played the Super Bowl.
New Kids on the Block
Gloria Estefan
Michael Jackson
Clint Black
Diana Ross
TLC
Chacka Kan
Phil Collins
Aerosmith
US
Shania Twain
Janet Jackson
Paul McCartney
Rolling Stones
Prince
Tom Petty
Bruce Springsteen
The Who
Outside of The Who, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty where does PJ fit in here? Not to mention all the bands/performers are either popular with the kids or super fucking old and on their down slope trying to re-kick start their careers.

Of course people will watch. It's the same as 100 million people seeing Janet Jackson's breast pop out with Justin Friggen Timberlake. Most folks who watch the super bowl also watch the half time show. I guess there is always Puppy Bowl to watch instead.
Are you kidding why all the negativity? I would love to see them during halftime, way exciting, it would be so cool.
They were by far the best band honoring The Who at the Rock Honors show. They would be spectacular at the Superbowl!
It would be another reason to be a proud fan!
The only negative I can think of is that they would have even more exposure and maybe recruit new fans, thus more people at concerts, less chance of awesome tix, etc...and those are all minor problems.
If the half-time was lengthened a little, they could play full songs, which would be awesome.
Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?
I say yes, but don't think it will happen. I wouldn't mind Metallica or Green Day next year.

good one,

I agree, however probably not gonna happen. That said, Eddie is a pretty big sports fan so who knows?
I wish they would. Any opportunity for me to see Pearl Jam, tv or in person, I am happy!

I quit....
...I will storm the location of the Super Bowl in protest...
....Half Time Show=Career is over.
Of course people will watch. It's the same as 100 million people seeing Janet Jackson's breast pop out with Justin Friggen Timberlake. Most folks who watch the super bowl also watch the half time show. I guess there is always Puppy Bowl to watch instead.
I would still protest.....angerly.
