Brian Fowler Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I wanted to continue that string, but I don't remember any other songs by any of those bands and I'll be dammed before I Google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 In all honesty, Metallica was the right choice. I'm not nearly as big a fan as I was ten years ago, but massively popular band that used to have a serious edge that has been dulled by decades of success and omnipresence... That checks all the NFL's boxes Plus, since the Coldplay hype video wanted to play numbers (7 Grammy Awards! 6 #1 Albums! Over 80 million albums sold!) Metallica has them beat in two out of three (8 Grammy Awards, 110 million album sales, but only 5 #1 records.) It was one of those things that apparently made too much sense.

Plus they could have done the Metallica with the SF symphony route to make it something a lot of people might be 'wowed' by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Enter Sandman, crappy newish song, Seek And Destroy, Wherever I May Roam, done. No muss, no fuss. I also feel like Pearl Jam has been saying no for the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 They should get some irrelevant turn of the century act to do it. Korn featuring Limp Bizkit and Staind. The stands would empty quickly. Which means, since this is the NFL, we'd get Third Eye Blind, Eagle Eye Cherry, and Semisonic. CLOSING TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME. . . We'd get all of them. Because damned if I can remember a second EEC or Semisonic song. Or want to remember there's a second 3EB song besides the one that explicitly mentions doing cyrstal meth.

DangerMark Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 You guys are making me feel like there would be money in an Alternative Super Bowl Half Time Show, much like the Channel Four Alternative Christmas Message. Bonfires, barbecue, massive projector screens (so people attending can watch the game,) and thrash. I could go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Without Jam Master Jay? No thank you. When I saw them at FunFunFun Fest 3 years ago, they had his sons as their DJs. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/q-a-jam-master-jay-s-sons-on-joining-reunited-run-d-m-c-20120905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I like to acknowledge it mainly because anyone that thinks Metallica were the worst part of that record deserves to go onto a special kind of list.

They were fine, if you like a lesser Megadeth kinda vibe. Pretty good WWE style sanitized version of metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
