(FOUR) METALLICA
Why not? I’m not the biggest Metallica fan, but there aren’t many metal bands out there that could pull this off. Metallica is one of the biggest American bands of all time. They’re getting older so I assume they’re perfect for the half time show. Because… you know… they ALWAYS book old people. All the Metallica hate aside, I’d love a halftime show of Enter Sandman, Sad But True, For Whom The Bell Tolls, and the older stuff. I could see this being successful and it would make the NFL feel all “cool” for including one of the “new up and coming bands”.
(THREE) BEASTIE BOYS
The Beasties put on events, not concerts. A big crazy half time show with lasers, robots, and all that fun stuff would be great. I’d be cool with a “Fight For Your Right”, “No Sleep”, and “Sabotage”. They have enough big hits to put on a great show. Like Metallica, they’re “older” so I think they’d have a chance of getting booked for it. It’d be a great set for sure though.
(TWO) KANYE WEST/JAY Z
This won’t happen, but why not? It’s easy to argue that Kanye and Jay Z would be big enough to do the half time show solo. I’d agree with that, but together it would be much bigger and more grande. West could drop “Jesus Walks” and his other singles, Jay Z could pick a few of his dozens of singles too. I can’t see this performance not being one of the biggest half time shows ever because you just know they’d go all out.
(ONE) JACK WHITE & FRIENDS
This is the one I’d like. With this Jack White can just put together a huge all star band. He could get Meg White to show up for a White Stripes reunion. He could do Raconteurs, Dead Weather, and the other dozen projects he’s in. He could also put together a super group to show up and jam with him. There aren’t many people in music as awesome as Jack White. White is probably the best thing in rock right now and will define the era. This should happen before he’s an old man.
