Who would you chose for the next Super Bowl halftime show?

Limp Bizkit

So's Madonna. Doesn't mean they're a good fit for the superbowl.

And they damn sure don't belong on the same stage as Metallica and Testament.

Oh berkeley yeah!

Steve Martin playing banjo while someone attempts to jump a dozen burning school buses on a riding lawn mower. Then everyone can go use the bathroom while the buses are extingushed and removed.

Actually I liked the Madonna halftime show. It compared quite favorably to the dubious crap that's passed for a halftime show in years past. And that Madonna's looking pretty damn hot for an old lady.

Next year, I'd like to see Weird Al Yankovic. I think he could put on a good show.

Motorhead or Alice Cooper

Frisbee. Catching. Dog.

GWAR

+2 (horns) for SLAYER.

Picture this: Entire stadium is dark. Intro to "South of Heaven" begins. Three crosses rise from under the stage, nailed to the left cross: Janet Jackson. Nailed to the right: Madonna. Nailed to the center square, fifty feet in the berkeleying air, with targets painted on their heads: The black eyed peas.

Suddenly, the voice of Tom Araya (who is tucked safely under the stage with the rest of the band) comes over the PA: "Look under your seats everyone!" I'm not sure how you pull it off, but everyone has a berkeleying crossbow, locked and loaded, under their seat.

Just then, they reach the end of the intro, and Tom screams "BEFORE YOU SEE THE LIGHT, YOU MUST DIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

That's my halftime show. Brought to you by Evan Williams and fire.

I will +3 or 4 that one. maybe with Big Bad Vodoo Daddy.

My town's high school marching band. Would be the best they ever had.

The goal of the halftime show is to keep as many eyeballs as possible glued to the television while the football game isn't on. Entertainment for the people sitting in the stadium is secondary.

What I think they ought to do is go to a freaking 12 minute halftime just like they have during a regular season game and fill that with 6 commercials and football analysis.

If they have to keep it 30 minutes, just freaking play an episode of the Simpsons or something.

Also: Good to see the love for the Avett Brothers and Old Crow in here.

I give you this video of Scott Avett trying to work on a song- his daughter obviously has something better for him to do.

As long as he's wearing an arrow on his head

One of the local DJs was arguing for them, and I think he makes a good point. They've got a lot of recent hits, put on a great show, but are mature enough you can trust them to stick with the appropriate ratings.

Prince. Again. For every Super Bowl. Until he's dead.

Prince effing tore that stadium down. Nobody wondered if he'd lip synced, or if he'd played to a track. He didn't even do a "thank you, good night." He just knocked the mic stand over and finished with his guitar while the stadium sang.

Lamb Of God or The Exploited

the best part of the halftime was the drummers, the rest wasn't bad but wasn't great either

That would work, but maybe throw in some Butthole Surfers too. Just because I want to hear the announcer choke.

How about 15 rally cars in a 10 lap race around the field? The players then have to finish the game trying not to trip and fall in the ruts.
