Carlos Santana didn't seem to a have a problem per se with Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars performing Super Bowl 50's halftime show. But he said the show would been truly amazing if it had included local iconic bands like Metallica, Steve Miller, Journey and "yours truly."

"We would have rocked the Half Time Show and done the SF Bay Area proud," the Latin guitar great posted on Facebook. He thanked CBS for allowing him to provide music for the telecast from Levi's Stadium, but he was disappointed he and other local, classic artists didn't have more of a role. Metallica performed Saturday night at AT&T Park.

"This is just an invitation for you to consider iconic bands as part of your Half Time entertainment," he wrote. "Real live music, real live vocals."

Members of Journey agreed with Santana, sharing his post and adding, "Thank you, Carlos, and yes we would have all rocked it!"

Or maybe odd-numbered years at the Superdome.
