I don't know if I mentioned this idea in a thread before. If I did, I do apologise. However, with that said, I'd love to see Rammstein be the Halftime Show for the next Super Bowl. For those who do not know who they are, Rammstein is a German Metal band. I'm personally not impressed with a lot of the recent halftime shows in the Super Bowl, and I think this is a band who could really provide some thrills and entertainment. They are a highly entertaining band with their visuals. Most of their songs are in German, which makes sense with them being from Germany. With that said, music transcends language barriers, and many of their songs are catchy, even with them being in German. Can't help but sing along despite it being another language.
Their best known song (though, my favourite song by them is actually Sonne which translates to Sun) is a song called "Du Hast" which technically means "You Have" but, according to a friend of mine who is German, Hasst, if used with an extra S, means Hate. So, when they're saying "Du Hast Mesch", they are saying "You Hate Me". Here is the live version of the song from a show they did in Paris:
Personally, I think this would be an EPIC song for the Cowboys to take the field to. Firstly, it'd be a nice ode to Dirk Nowitzki who was a huge reason why the Mavericks had success when he played for them. Secondly, it'd be a way to get the crowd even further excited because of how catchy the song is. Imagine AT&T Stadium filled with fans singing this song. This would be sort of like in Europe during European football games when fans sing in unison. It gets the crowd into the game, it sets the tone for the game and crowd, and it intimidates the opposition. Thirdly, the pyrotechnics that the Cowboys like to use whilst the team takes the field can be well timed to key parts of the song. Fourthly, the drum beat and the guitar riffs would serve 2 purposes for the Cowboys. Firstly, I think that'd be a brilliant way to fire up the Cowboys on game day. Imagine the team hearing Du Hast. When I hear that song and am playing video games, it makes me play even harder just because the song has that vibe of making me want to destroy my opponent. Imagine that with the Cowboys hearing it. With how competitive the players are, I'd imagine they'd love this song. Also, it'd be quite intimidating to the opposition because they'd be hearing this song and seeing how fired up the Cowboys are to this song. American Football, after all, is a mental game just as much a physical game. If you can get in the heads of the opponents, you can make it much harder for them to have success. Thus, this song, imo, would do just that to the opposition while also getting our team excited.
I'd also like to point out that some teams will use songs going into the 4th quarter. When I watched the Cowboys play Chicago at Soldier Field in December, I noticed that they played "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica going into the 4th Quarter to fire up the fans and team. I understand that the Steelers use "Renegade" by Styx going into the 4th quarter. So, even if we don't use it for taking the field, perhaps we could make "Du Hast" the song for us going into th 4th Quarter. Or Feuer Frei could be the song for that. It means Free Fire. So, essentially, by playing that song, we'd be telling the Cowboys to Fire at Will on the opposition. I shall post that song in the next comment for you all to hear. So, I think it could be quite interesting heading Du Hast as we take the field and Feuer Frei going into the 4th quarter.
So yes, I think Rammstein would make a great Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, just as importantly, I think they have a few songs that could be highly entertaining for our fans at the game while also useful to the Cowboys. What say you all?
