Should Van Halen Play Halftime At The Superbowl?

[Mayhem]

This is the poll question at espn.com. I thought I'd post it here. Yay or Nay?

David Lee Roth says Van Halen would say yes to playing the Super Bowl "in a NY minute." Should the NFL extend the offer?

Sure. I'm indifferent. In theory it seems like a good idea, but the half time show is always shit anyway. It's in New Orleans this year, right? If they got some southern jazz-blues ensemble to perform something cool, that'd be way better. I don't give a fuck about all these old has been bands taking the stage with defibrillators on deck. But at least VH has some punch.

 

[squallumz]

who cares. halftime shows are full of no talent assholes these days anyway.

why not a band that at least made some rock history.

 

[Death-Proof-69]

sure. just so long as there's no wardrobe oopsie malfunctions :eek:

Washed up, used up, and old.

Washed up, used up, and old.

So they qualify.

 

[Facetious]

Yay. We need David's over inflated ego for comic relief.
Roth to this day continues to carry around with him a level of self importance that's unparalleled.
Eddie and Alex must roll their eyes behind his (Roth's) back, you can be sure of that.


Next question is, what should they play?

Sa-mmy! Sa-mmy! Sa-mmy! :angrymob:

 

[ThatRedWing]

Yes. If nothing else watching them implode halfway through the set would be entertaining.

 

[alexpnz]

Eddie won't let that happen, :nono:

 

[Killer B]

Washed up, used up, and old.

Just like the "Material Cougar" last year. At least Van Halen has some good time party rock anthems. :banger:

 

[Hondarobot]

Answer: No.

 

[too fast]

I hope they do at least then maybe the NFL won't book some 60's or early 70's band

They would certainly be in keeping with the other choices the NFL has made for half-time shows. I'd rather see them go in a totally different direction, and get someone like Radiohead.

 

[DR. B]

no, fuck them and their bickering

 

[LukeEl]

Get back Gary Cherrone from Van Halen III back on vocals and we have a halftime show.

This. Get someone newer. Greenday, even. Coldplay. White Stripes (Yes, I know...). Gorillaz.

Hell Yeah

 

[Johan]

Seriously, Van Halen ? Is that the best Superbowl can have for half-time show ?

 

[D-rock]

I think due to popular demand they should eliminate the Superbowl half time show. :yesyes:
