Metal Musicians Reacts to Maroon 5’s Lame Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show

0

The reaction to Maroon 5’s halftime show at last night’s Super Bowl LIII was pretty much unanimous: “That sucked.”

In hindsight, Adam Levine ripping off his shirt was one of the most exciting moments of the entire evening, sandwiched between two halves of a game with very little action on offense.

The metal and rock world, naturally, had a whole lot to say about it — some good, mostly bad. Many, sharing a popular sentiment that always gains steam this time of year, called for Metallica to get the invite to play the big game. Many quoted Levine’s recent line that rock is dead and threw it right back at him.

Here are some of those reactions from Twitter.
