They were a big hit at the party I was at.
I thought Mick looked pretty good.

"Hurray For Everything"
Oh wait, that was from the Simpsons
Still so incredibly stupid to pick the Stones when you have a city with the musical legacy of Detroit. Other than cars, it's pretty much what the town is known for. And even picking the "safe" stone they had to bleep 'em out because they picked a song that referred to the bodily fluids of a dead man.
I'm down with the 12-minute idea or the marching band idea. The whole over the top Super Bowl half-time is pretty played at this point.

Lol, that will never happen for two reasons...1.Rage is done
2.Rage hates the Government.
I would love to see The Who do it next year.

They could also have Otis Day and the Knights.Then it'd be a Who-Dey Super Bowl!
And yes, Otis is in fact available, though it's possible he's already got Super Bowl Sunday '07 booked:

If it wasn't for Janet, we probably would have had KISS instead of the Stones. Detroit Rock City would have been a given- or maybe Nugent.Shakira in Miami next year would be an interesting halftime show to watch, but today's NFL will never let it happen. I'm guessing they'll go with someone like Marc Anthony and the best we can hope for is a JLo cameo."Hurray For Everything"

Scratch that- I see Harry Belafonte is still alive. Time for the Day-O Halftime Show.

how wbout something that those of us over 28 can enjoy too?Stones = :X
Longevity does not equal great.
How about some Limp Bizkit or Korn or Audioslave for a half time show?

The Stones didn't sound horrible... whoever rigged their sound should be fired. It sounded like they were performing inside a giant trash can.
I thought they were so bad that I started to get that uncomfortable feeling you get when you are embarrased for someone. I just don't like the whole band thing during halftime. They should pull some fans out of the stands and make them do something stupid so the rest of us can laugh at them.
I say they dig up Lennon and Harrison and have a Beatles Reunion. 
Seriously, the half time shos at the Super Bowl have been lame for years now. Who cares who they get? It is over publisized, over hyped and over the top of being any good.
Hooters Girls Vs. Victoria's Secret Girls tackle football in the mud. Hmmmmm....I might be on to something here. Maybe chocalate and whipped cream.....

I would say worst half tiem show EVAH, but I turned it off, for fear my speakers would retaliate and explode.
My friends father said they sounded like crap... and he has all their albums.
Love the "sign a washed up old band to try and pump the half time show to something"
Failed miserably. They suck.

My friend bought the Lingerie Bowl on pay-per-view. It was $20. Wasn't worth it though. Just showed a bunch of hot chicks in their undies with shoulder pads and hockey helmets. They were hitting harder than the Steelers and Hawks though. THey had Cindy Margolis and Jenny McCarthy as commentators (never showed them though) and the funniest part was when the camera man zoomed in on the center with her butt in the air and Jenny McCarthy says: "It looks like a Taco Bell commercial"!I say they dig up Lennon and Harrison and have a Beatles Reunion.

I'll save this post for the "***Official*** Who would be the WORST halftime band choice in SB history" thread.Stones = :X
How about some Limp Bizkit or Korn or Audioslave for a half time show?

The Stones were atrocious. Never been a fan of them, so maybe I'm a bit biased, but MAN that was horrid...
To have an old British band in the middle of Motown is an atrocity. Any number of acts would have been better. I DON'T agree on ones like Eminem or Kid Rock though, because despite the fact that they are from Detroit, they only encompass a small genre of music over a small period of time. That's the only thing I would credit the selection of the Stones, in that they encompassed several decades and a wider audience.
With that being said, I agree that someone like KISS doing "Detroit Rock City" would have been a much more ideal choice...

Hey, it could have been Tim McGraw... "I Like it, I love it..."
Who watches halftime anyway? Between the commercials - can't miss those, and the game, halftime is a much needed break.
But, I did watch some of it and Mick was horrid. No worse than McCartnet, but horrid.

I can't believe people try to compare the Stones to the Beatles. Paul was good last year, the Stones this year were a different story, OUCH!!!

Bob Seger would have been a good choice in Detroit.

Bud Light wouldn't have stood for the "Silver Bullet Band" though.

I really hate U2, but they did a damn good show.I wouldn't mind someone like Incubus or Queens of the Stone Age, as for more recent rock music.
The rhythm got me.

It just amazes me how much the NFL is out of touch. The whole Tim McGraw thing is just ridiculous, and the halftime show is always somebody reeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyy tired. I just would like to see them put somebody new out there. My choice? Outkast. Now, THAT I would watch.

ahhhh. The new=good argument. I was waiting.NewsFlash. The Stones could be 80 years old wearing Depends and more people will know and care about them than will ever care about Outkast. Their mix was bad last night, but I've seen them live and they can still bring it and they bring it infront of sold out stadiums every night with all age groups represented.
How many of your new, "hip" artists will be able to say that in 40 years?

Newsflash: The Stones suck now, they sucked 20 years ago, and they will suck 20 years from now when they are still milking money out of people like you. They should have hung it up a while ago. Just because they have a large fan base that clings to the good ole days and refuses to believe that anything new can actually be good does not make them great. You, and a lot of other people like them and enjoyed their show. Good, I'm glad. My point is, is that the halftime show needs somebody that is recent. I can virtually guarantee that there are more people in this country that would enjoy a fresher view from the NFL than the Tim McGraw/Stones combo.
