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 — MetalSucks

That was the most joyless band performance at a SuperBowl halftime show-EVER. They got THROUGH it- NO vibe between the band members AT ALL. NO sense of camaraderie or shared mission. They have POPULAR songs too. It felt like it SUCKED. For THEM.

Maroon 5 is whiter than a pair of UGGs.

Still waiting for Adam Levine to play either of those guitars.

Remember when Adam Levine said rock was dead, and then just spent the first half of the halftime show playing rock music? He even played* some guitar.

*¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i'm getting a mixed message from the NFL and this Super Bowl half time show. You want the game to be less violent, but then you ask Maroon 5 to play?? Umm, have you ever been in an M5 pit when they play "Payphone"?? Clearly not!
