I’m not a rap or hip hop fan so didn’t really know the music. We turned it down but it didn’t seem like a bad show just not our taste. Knew the names except for Lamar and he was my least favorite. We had heard some of the music before but not really fans. I agree with others Prince was good back in the day. It sounds like most really enjoyed yesterday’s performance so that is what matters.
ETA I sure wouldn’t say this was a bad sow and have have seen many snd thought what the heck. This wasn’t a bad show just not our taste in music.
I wasn’t watching too closely snd didn’t see many commercials that I thought were good. I thought most were blah. The few movie trailer ones perked my interest but overall we were thinking what? There were a few funny ones but again nothing that stood out. It’s been years though since we thought they were good. We may not be the right demographic though assuming they are aiming for the younger crowd vs the 50-55 group.

OMG OMG OMG I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! I'm so glad to see Dre doing well after his stroke, and was so happy to see Mary J looking fierce and fabulous! 50 looking kinda thick hanging from that beam but I loved the energy! Eminem was great too! Kendrick Lamar was great but felt almost young for this crowd 🤣 Snoop KILLED IT The only thing that would have really made this perfect for me was if you added Ice Cube and they did part of Straight Outta Compton. I haven't loved a halftime show this much since Katy Perry or Prince! So many of my favorite songs are Dre tracks. My DH said "it sounds like you getting ready for work" 😀🤣🤣 I WOULD HAVE BEEN DYING TO BE AT THIS SHOW This was pretty much my reaction! I was also so glad to see Dre looking & performing so well. Mary J. Blige looked fantastic. Snoop stole the show like I figured he would. The Chronic is one of my all time favorites albums, when this lineup was announced I about lost my shit. Ice Cube would have put me over the edge. Snoop comes to play in Denver quite a bit and I consider going every time. I really want to see him, but I don't want to spend a couple of hours in a weed cloud to watch him. I mean, no one can compete with Prince. I also loved Maroon 5 (minus Travis Scott. Barf.), Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars half time shows. I remember Aerosmith did one years ago. I like them, and I'm pretty sure that was a good one. I don't care for Katy Perry now, but she did have a great show. Well....a contact buzz might not be so bad!!!! LOL Absolutely agree about the Prince half-time show. Just bow and back out of the room. It was pure purple magic. Bruno Mars was FANTASTIC! He is just a great performer all around!

OK. So I didn't watch the superbowl, even though I made superbowl food (confession here!) Just watched the halftime show -- Holy Crap!!!!! That was soooooo good! The singing, the dancing, the total happiness of it all. I loved it! I loved every second of it. It's up there with the Prince halftime show for me. 50-Cent hanging upside down and singing - how could he possibly do that! I would have landed on my head. I can barely walk and talk. And he's like almost 50 years old!!!!!
My favorite halftime show was the one with Maroon 5, and really just because DD got to dance in it in Atlanta.

I wouldn't say that I am a crazy fan of rap. I really like the old school stuff. I LOVED the Beastie Boys and Run DMC. YES!! Beastie Boys are one of my favorites. I had a poster of them amongst all the Bon Jovi and other hair band posters when I was a kid. Love Run DMC too. These were definitely bands of my childhood. My musical taste are ALL OVER the place. The top of my list is Sting...there is just no other. But I love Alternative, Classic Rock, Jazz, Classical Music...I really like all kinds except for Country Music, not that big of a fan. You are my kind of person. Country is really the only genre I just can't get into. There's a few songs I like, and it's because of the badass lyrics or a memory attached to it. Alternative (NIN top of that list) & 80's music are my favorites, with some EDM in there (I LOVE Deadmau5 so much. Awesome live!) I love the Police too. Don't Stand So Close To Me is one of those songs that always makes me happy when it pops up on my random playlist. I sing my heart out in the car to that one, and no one can tell me that I don't sound almost exactly like Sting for those couple of minutes. I loved the half time show - loved the tribute to LA and how iconic the performers were. I listened to them all through high school (hello c/o ‘91!) Hi fellow class of '91!

I listen to classic rock. I know some modern pop artists. I do not listen to any rap or hip hop. I have zero interest in it. I have heard of these artists my name, but do not know their music. Dr. Dre: I know 0 songs. Snoop Dog: Gin and Juice (I know the song title but could not tell you one lyric of the song and would not recognize it if I heard it.) 50 Cent: In Da Club (I only know the name of this song from playing Sporcle music quizzes. It is a running joke in our house.) Eminem: Slim Shady, And the one that starts with "Two Trailer Park girls go 'round the outside, round the outside" Mary J. Blige: I do not know any of her songs. Kendrick Lamar: Do not know any of his songs I think you should probably remind us a few more times, before this thread dies, that you DON'T LIKE THIS MUSIC AND HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN THIS MUSIC AND IT'S NOT FOR YOU AND YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT AT ALL In case anyone missed it.

And I wasn't a fan of hair metal back in the 80s--though back then, I apparently didn't mind whiney alternative stuff. Cue The Smiths, Depeche Mode, The Cure...🤣🤣

Game was good, commercials were meh (except the Doritos one with the sloth! Oh and Barbie Dream House was cute). Cannot say if the halftime show was good or bad b/c I don’t listen to rap or hip hop. I knew who everyone was except for Kendrick L. I loved Snoop DD’s outfit!

Wow! Bitchy much? You are the one who can't believe people have never heard of these artists or know there music. Yes, really, not everyone knows them. I know the artists, not the music. I can say the same for modern country music. I can say the same for many. If people aren't interested in a certain type of music, why would you assume they should know all these artists?

The commercials were all so blah. The only ones that were even remotely entertains were the Barbie house one and the one with Paul Rudd although I have no idea what they were for. The one with Guy Fieri wins for being the most annoying, Oh I liked those ads too! Even Guy's ad! ETA - CLass of '94 here!

That was THE BEST halftime since Prince's! I'm old (58) but love everyone up on that stage. I've been an Eminem fan since the beginning. I pre-ordered his first CD and still remember the day I got. My kids and I (ok, not parent of the year stuff here) listened to it, repeated it, backed it up until we knew every word. He still looks good!

Winger, Whitesnake (saw them live in South Dakota), Ratt and Def Leppard...all about it! At the same time I would listen to Depeche Mode and the Cure and YAZ. Even played Steve Winwood on my Walkman!

God I loved that song Only You (“looking from a window above…”

I was obsessed with Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, Poison, Poison, Def Leppard, Whitesnake...you get the idea...LOL I saw Bon Jovi (& Skid Row) as a teen ager, and again a few years ago. Still awesome. I will always miss Richie Sambora though. I LOVE The Cure. I went to see them about 4 years ago, and while Robert Smith may be starting to look his age, they still sound great, and put on a great show. They played for well over 2 hours, and I can't think of a song they skipped.

I think Guns N Roses doesn't count as a hair band but I will admit to loving me some Welcome To The Jungle even if it does! Plus many others. Axl is a tool but back then he was everything a rock star should be. Kinda dirty, skinny, many substances in that blood stream, an asshole, can scream at unbelievable pitches. Loved it. I enjoyed Slash's memoir about those days. Not too salacious but pretty fun. After that I spent equal time between grunge, dance, electrónica, and rap and hip hop.

If "Welcome to the Jungle" plays....I'm rocking out....anywhere, anytime! I don't care how much I embarrass my kids! This is me! Or embarrass myself. Dignity? What's that? I sing or bop along to most of the stuff in my playlists, but off the top of my head, these are songs that I know I just belt out like I know I'm getting a 4 chair turn on The Voice every time they come on. The people driving with me on the roads get to see me performing my one woman shows. Livin' on a Prayer- Bon Jovi Thriftshop- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Scrubs- TLC Before He Cheats- Carrie Underwood Jeremy- Pearl Jam Moves Like Jagger- Maroon 5 Suspicious Minds- Elvis Presley Head Like a Hole- Nine Inch Nails

Late to this party/gripe fest - but I thought the half time show was awesome. I have a weird love for Snoop, awesome to see MJB looking so fine and sounding so strong. Dre is and always has been THE MAN

NIN is hitting the road this year - I'll be seeing all my fellow NINheads at Shaky Knees! My son, my BFF and I were all waiting online for the ticket sales to go live and none of us were able to get any. They're playing 2 nights in Denver and they still sold out in minutes. My son & I have seen them twice. Once here, at Red Rocks and once we flew to Vegas to see them. Fantastic shows, and I'm so bummed we couldn't get tickets for this tour.

I hate concerts because people and I've only been to a handful of them, but one I did go to was NIN in Cedar rapids IA in Nov 1994. I was 22 but felt like an old lady because I had a 3 month old that I had left for the evening for the first time.
Marilyn Manson and the Jim Rose Circus opened. Behind us, some 40 year old was making out with what looked to be his teenage daughter. Bless him, swaying around trying to look young for his new lady friend, his flannel shirt tied around his waist. That was quite a midlife crisis. I bet he brought her in his Corvette. I've never forgotten that couple 🤣

I'm claustrophobic and want to cut people. I love live music, sucks that I can't afford to hire the bands I want to see for private parties. I bet you've remembered that guy WAY longer than that girl did! We could've been old ladies together at 22 with tiny babies. I went to a bachelorette party when my son was about that age in early 1996 (before cell phones were a thing). I had to use a payphone to call my husband and check on my son. I was the only sober one and didn't think their shenanigans were cute at all. One of them was the girl who gets drunk and then cries all night, and another one was the girl who get sloppy drunk and you're embarrassed for her.
