“I’ve had multiple conversations over the years with them where they say, ‘We want to have a rock and roll band. Do you think you could do it? Do you think you could do a stadium,” Grohl said Friday in an interview on Los Angeles radio station KROQ. “I was like, yeah man, we do it all the time. You get so close. And you think, Oh my God, I think we’re going to do the Super Bowl, and then it’ll be Madonna or Katy Perry.” Meanwhile, drummer Taylor Hawkins threw some shade at the reported selection of Maroon 5 for next year's halftime show. “Not to be negative to Maroon 5, but it always feels like the final chapter to your career,” he said.  “We’re just trying to come up with excuses for why we haven’t done it.”
