GN'R makes RS.com "Readers? Rock List: Super Bowl Halftime Performers"

[jarmo]

Last week, following Bruce Springsteen?s Super Bowl halftime performance, Rock Daily asked our readers who should take the stage during halftime of the Big Game in 2010. After more than 400 responses, the readers agreed that it was about time the Who got their due. Considering the game will be broadcast on CBS, home of those CSI shows that feature the Who as theme music, the pick makes perfect sense. Other acts making the list include the possible (Van Halen) to the impossible (Led Zeppelin) to the awesomely impossible (Guns n? Roses.) Check out the full readers? list below:

1. The Who
2. Pearl Jam
3. Guns n? Roses
4. Van Halen
5. Dave Matthews Band
6. Foo Fighters
7. Red Hot Chili Peppers
8. AC/DC
9. Neil Young
10. Led Zeppelin
11. Radiohead
12. R.E.M.
13. Eagles
14. The Killers
15. Coldplay
16. Fleetwood Mac
17. Metallica
18. Stevie Wonder
19. The Police
20. Kanye West

Now that's a good list! 

Someday....

[younggunner]

how sick would this set be at the superbowl

jungle, scraped, better, and a short version of PC

[ppbebe]

the awesomely impossible?

[ShotgunBlues1978]

the awesomely impossible?

There is no way they would allow GnR to play with their PC obsession after the Janet Jackson thing

[ecwfan]

They could clear Axl to open the Halftime show with "Do you know where the Fuck you are ?!!" Theres a 7 second delay that could bleep Fuck out. Beyond it there isn't much of a problem and it would be a very good return in a way. Since there is 3-4 songs allowed....

Open with "Welcome to the Jungle"

then go into "Better"

and end with "November Rain" Complete with confetti dropping and all...

[GNRreunioneventually]

WHAT?!

KISS didn't make the list? WHAT THE FUCK


i wish G"n'R would have done this one, then it really would have been a absolutely PERFECT superbowl

@CHINESE DEMOCRACY NOW the list is for Super Bowl in 2010.
I'm for younggunner's set.

Is GNR politically incorrect?  

[King Axl]

Most likely, the readers are hoping for an "original GN'R" lineup, but a new lineup performance could certainly win over a lot of fans.

[Padmasana]

So no-one else thinks the Superbowl 'half-time show' is crass consumerism reaching rock bottom and starting to dig? The whole concept is laughably, infuriatingly moronic.

I like the fact that GN'R are 'awesomely impossible' next to Led Zeppelin, whose drummer is dead and guitarist is even worse now than he was in the first place.

It's like you are reading my mind!  That setlist would be sick. 
That said, I can't picture it happening.....the closest thing I could see would be an appearance by Axl in a duet/collaboration with another band.  It would be a nice opportunity to show off the pipes.  The man can fucking sing!
 

[draguns]

I think it will happen, but not for another 5-10 years. If you look at it now, you had Springsteen, Tom Petty and Rolling Stones as a  half time show.

They are too polarizing and will never be "PC" enough because of One In A Million and Look At Your Game Girl among other things like the violence and misogyny that are associated with the band's lyrics by some

Look at the bands they've had play since then, I doubt very much they'd bring in a band that has the polarizing effect of GnR to play the most corporate gig in existence

[Verse Chorus Verse]

That's a damn good top 3.

[faldor]

I was thinking about this the day after the Super Bowl.  I'm surprised Bon Jovi didn't make the list.  I think they'd be a "safe" big act that'd fit.  I don't know if Guns would be such a good idea, although I wouldn't mind seeing it.

[IKnowWhereIAM]

3 reasons I don't think it would/could ever happen:
3)  There is a script
2)  The show MUST go on at a certain time
1)  The Superbowl isn't big enough to close a GnR concert...it would need to open for them.

[DJ_bullet]

If the guys who manage this have put a bit of thought into this list so far, I'd bet on Pearl Jam or Van Halen.  G'N'R or the Who's new lineup's would cause controversy over the super bowl halftime's.

[SLCPUNK]

Pretty cool, too bad it didn't happen.....

Its Rolling Stone. They aren't very Rolling Stone friendly

I bet they will be there next year though

GNR would be awesome, Axl would be the first act to do the halftime show after the game!
