Screw you chili peppers, I knew you were faking it.
I hate seeing one of my largest influences over my bass playing be this sold out. But the again I look at every album since one hot minute and I am not surprised

"Hey RHCP, want to come do the half time show at the super bowl with Bruno Mars?"
"How much will you pay us?"
"More than you have made since the 90's."
"Okay, where do we sign?!?!"

Sorry for the harsh reality. :-(

You don't think they have wireless in the guitars?

Not that this is the time or place for it but I just want it on paper: Bruno Mars is a very talented young musician and entertainer and I'm rooting for him!

I noticed Bruno Mars' band faking it (kind of easy when you incorporate a slap bass line and the bassist's right hand isn't moving at all), and had my suspicions about the Chili Peppers upon watching whoever the new guitarist is sell his solo way too hard. Disappointing, and unfortunately not surprising.

I didn't notice that, but I did notice that Frusciante wasn't fretting his notes.
Sounded like the instrument tracks were pre-recorded, which is better than putting in the CD. Not much better, though.
—edit— Ooops, that wasn't Frusciante, it's John Klinghoffer.

I would have to agree. Blood sugar sex magic was the last good stuff they did. It's been a disappointment ever since

No kidding. If someone offered me a pile of cash to dance around shirtless in a Super Bowl halftime show, I'd do it first and deal with the consequences later.

I'm confused.
What exactly is wrong with performing at the super bowl halftime show?
No. Really, what are we complaining about here?

just the fact that RHCP is one of the better live bands I have seen, and this was canned (bass not plugged in)

Sorry, my brain went immediately from "bass legend performing at Super Bowl" to "Hey, Motörhead would be great at the Super Bowl, why can't we have that? They wouldn't be canned..."

Every superbowl halftime show for the last few years was canned. This isn't news.

Two great band ideas for Super Bowl;
1) Daft Punk
2) Weird Al.

Weird al would be awesome because i think he would make fun if the lip singing.

Daft Punk would be awesome but hard to do. They'd have to get a good few people to guest star with them for singing purposes.

I was rather pissed after hearing the commentator remark about Bruno Mars "drumming like Ginger Baker". Ginger has my permission to punch him.

I thought I heard that too, and my mind didnt want to believe it. Ginger was unreal. The drummer was the reason I knew it was canned. I said damn listen to that tone in that stadium. I noticed the plexiglass wasnt up and knew. He was pretty spot on in his fill-synching though

Wireless transmitters still connect to the output jack of the guitar/bass. There would be a little plug and wire heading from the silver output jack to the transmitter which would normally be clipped to the strap.

It can be hardwired without using the jack. I can't imagine they'd go out on stage without at least making an attempt to look legitimate.

What irks me is that they didn't even try to hide it. They could have easily just plugged in a wireless transmitter that wasn't actually transmitting to anything.

I'm okay with it, given that they were up there with Bruno Mars and his band, and there were a lot of moving parts for a performance that needed to be tightly orchestrated.

But if you know that you're not playing... and no secret is made of this. Why follow through with the illusion.
Has anyone thought that perhaps this was a subtle protest by Flea about having to "perform" without actually playing.
