    Please no, It would be like asking Michael Jordan at age 50 to be in the Dunk contest for All-Star weekend.

    There would be plenty of Hollywood celebrities and big name athletes at the show. That prospect would get Ed excited.

    This seems much more like a Foo Fighters thing to do than a Pearl Jam thing to do.

    If they want to do it they should, if they dont thats cool too.  I dont care either way.  There will always be disappointment with these shows no matter how solid the act is.

    I know it was over 20 years ago but this is a band that tried to separate themselves from the casual/fake fans.
    Playing the Super Bowl would definitely be a 180-degree turn from that.
    As someone mentioned above, they sell out stadiums...  They've already done the 180 thing.
    I don't understand how selling out stadiums is any different from 20+ years ago. They always did that kind of thing - they were one of the biggest bands in the world back then. It's just that they didn't have concerts at baseball parks in general back in the day, did they? That seems like a newer trend for the most part to me. Not for PJ, but for the ball parks. It used to be very rare, no?

    Eddie having a stack of 20 unused tambourines to throw out every show is nothing less than the super bowl.
    Yes, that's more like a 180, lol.

    The point of the half time show is to get women to tune in, not the demographic who are already watching the game. The Foo Fighters played a huge show the night before the Super Bowl in Atlanta. Metallica did the same the night before the Super Bowl near San Francisco. 

    Taylor Swift is next up depending on if she has an album out next February.

    Hope to God not. Only if they sing Olympic Platinum and do some nipple-gate thing.
  • rwrussorwrusso Posts: 17
    Yes please.  Regardless if whether they'd accept the offer or not.  I would die to just hear a rock band play (I know) music without all the antics.

    I have no interest in watching them pretend to play instruments. It would be embarrassing.

    They don't fit the mold of what the NFL is looking for these days for the halftime show. The last rock act was The Who 11 years ago. Since then it's been all mainstream pop / hip-hop (Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Coldplay/Beyonce/Bruno, Lady Gaga, J. TImberlake, Maroon 5, J.Lo/Shakira, the Weeknd). 

    Even if rock bands were a viable option, PJ doesn't have the same level of mainstream popularity as the Stones, etc.

    She's under contract with Coke. So she wouldn't be able to do a Pepsi sponsored halftime show

    I really hope not, because (1) the public discourse around it would drive me insane and (2) people in my life who know I love the band but don’t necessarily know why would constantly ask me about it, and I suspect it would be impossible to explain to them why I don’t care without sounding like an asshole.

    Bingo.  PJ as a band, to those dedicated members of its fan club on this little bubble of an online board, is huge.  To the rest of the musical world, they’re not really that relevant and haven’t been for a while. (And before anyone throws out the whole Rock HoF induction as evidence of relevance...I submit to you another moderately irrelevant institution).  It’s not so much a question of “should they” as it is “could they.”  I love this band and have spent so much time and energy and money to see them.  But they’re just not on that level.

    All that aside, I think it’d be cool IF they did their Ten hits only.  Sue me. Lol
