A Rowdy Pair

They got the millions of viewers riled up for the annual championship game in a mashup video alternating between the two rockstars singing and the professional athletes gearing up for the game of their lives. While they may not have gotten the chance to play during the halftime show, they made more than an impression with their electrifying introduction video.

Super Bowl XXXVII took place on Jan. 26, 2003 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California, going down in history as the final NFL championship game to take place at the historic arena. The Buccaneers took home the gold in an overwhelming win against the Raiders 48-21.

A Redneck Duet

The two came together once again in 2012 for an explosive ode to redneck culture, “Redneck Paradise,” found on Rock’s ninth studio album Rebel Soul. The soulful tune plays into the singers’ deep roots as they sing about whiskey, wine, and a damn good time!

The music video for “Redneck Paradise” isn’t as wild as their Super Bowl Introduction, but it’s sure to get you excited about your own country roots.

Check out their Super Bowl introduction as you gear up for this year’s championship game!
