Rolling Stones team with NFL and ABC
(Aug. 8, 2005) -- The worlds of music and football will collide this year as the legendary Rolling Stones will partner with the NFL and ABC for a season-long campaign.
The Rolling Stones will help kick off the 2005 season from their "A Bigger Bang" world tour with footage from their Aug. 31 concert in Detroit as part of "NFL Opening Kickoff 2005" -- a one-hour pregame special on ABC at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, Sept. 8.
ABC also will feature music and video footage of The Rolling Stones throughout the 2005 season in its Monday Night Football promotional campaigns and in-game highlight and tease packages. The campaign will feature new music from their highly anticipated CD, A Bigger Bang, to be released on Virgin Records on Sept. 6, along with hits from their catalog.
The release of A Bigger Bang follows the Aug. 21 tour kickoff at Fenway Park in Boston as they once again bring fans electrifying performances and state-of-the-art stage production. For additional ticket information, go to tickemaster.com.
The Rolling Stones' performance in "NFL Opening Kickoff 2005" is part of a football and music celebration of the NFL's "Road to Forty" season that will look back at the history of the Super Bowl, honor the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and down the road to Super Bowl XL, slated for Feb. 5, 2006 in Detroit on ABC. Other acts will be announced shortly.
"NFL Opening Kickoff 2005" will air from 8-9 p.m. (ET) on ABC and lead into the season opener between the Patriots and Oakland Raiders at Gillette Stadium -- a rematch of the memorable 2001 AFC divisional playoff "blizzard" game (ABC, 9 p.m. ET).

..as if the Stones give a shit about the NFL...(the World Cup or a Test Cricket series I can understand them having an interest..)
what a strange business venture
Shocking choice of venue too. The worst selling show of the tour. Howe embarrassing that will be.

I am sure they would not give a shit or know how the game is played...but they know the NFL is America's #1 sport!!
Maybe this will inspire the economically lavished Michiganders to sell out the stadium...or drop the price!!! |

Yep--they are just looking to sell more tickets/CD's. Football is so huge in the States, Cohl knows he will reach thousands with this venture. |

this deal would probably suggest it would be a near-cert
Only thing that would make me think otherwise is that by the time the next Superbowl comes around, they'll be coming to the end of their North American tour so they'll hardly need the promotional push over there...
but of course, that game is shown worldwide, so it would hardly do ticket sales in the rest of the world any harm... |

I don't think this means the Stones will play the Super Bowl at all. That would require the Stones to actually show up at some cheesy halftime show. They are not even showing up for this. They are just using concert footage. The last few years The NFL has held concerts as a pre game to opening night. Normally the Bands are there live. The Stones won't be there playing on some make shift stage in Times Square, instead they will just be using footage from Detroit. It's brilliant. It's a highly watched event, and The Stones have to do nothing. The best part everybody gets to see it free. How could this be bad? |

It's not bad...it's just typical. Stones Inc. in action.
Besides...if it's good enough for Macca, U2, and Hank Williams Jr., it's good enough for Stones Inc. Right?
Looks like Cohl is pulling all the stops to make A Bigger Bang a #1. |

If thats his motive then he's doing what he's paid for anyway......Most average music fans not into hip hop will have no idea the boys have a new album out.This will let millions of em know...And it will be taped and edited to death so it will be good.But what can they do RJ and ONNYA are out due to lyrics....SOL would kill sales....Actually a killer version of BOMH would be the ticket!! |

They'll play warhorses, then. And maybe a "clean" version of RJ, by mumbling over the dirty words... |

I remember Jagger on NFL with Dennis Miller. Mick was showing his video for God Gave Me Everything. The football fans went wild and the album went onto become the smash hit that it is to this day.
