magisme Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Why would the Peppers betray Axl like that?Who cares? Inquiring minds really want to know if the Peppers actually played. Good question. I'm not sure they had the same science back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I think don't some people realize how short halftime is. There would be no time.By the time the band got set up, halftime would be over.The interview was done with someone who did the sound at previous Super Bowls. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/feb/04/bruno-mars-peppers-halftime-show-mostly-mimed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I think don't some people realize how short halftime is. There would be no time.By the time the band got set up, halftime would be over.Indeed, an NFL halftime is only around 12 minutes long, not including commercials and whatnot. I imagine this was extended for the SB, but even then that really isn't even enough time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Why would the Peppers betray Axl like that?I asked the same thing to my minister at church last week.Why?! WHY would they betray Axl by playing with Slash?!It's just yet another example of how people are trying to hold Axl back. Add the Peppers to the list of people who need to apologize to Axl for selling out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cbgnr666 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Honestly just think they were scared they would bomb in front of a huge crowd and a massive television audience, everything else is an excuse.

Coma16 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 ^Actually it is 30-35 mintues.Sounds about right. 10 minutes to set up, 10-15 minute "show" and then 10 minutes of analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Honestly just think they were scared they would bomb in front of a huge crowd and a massive television audience, everything else is an excuse.I hate the Red Hot Chili Peppers but come on, this is an international touring act with well over 20 years of experience playing live, sometimes to much bigger crowds than the Super Bowl, pretty ridiculous to assume they were "scared" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) The NFL feared Bruno mars was gonna bombI don't believe that for a second. The NFL, as a league, is pretty arrogant.I don't think they too much care about the halftime show, as much outsiders do.They know they have top notch product, so they can do whatever they want.Wouldn't surprise if next year's act was Micheal Bolton.

themadcaplaughs Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Axl's statement are almost as cringe worthy as Scott Weiland's statements about Axl back in 2005. They really feel like something an adolescent would find funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saber_ Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 You know it's really too bad Fergie didn't pre-record her voice. Without autotune, she's really not a good singer at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 So Axl was trying to prove the Chilis are frauds but really there's no time to really do it live so its a non issue.Or Axl was joking and the media continue their lazy crucifixion of Axl.

dalsh327 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Have Flea or Kiedis responded to Axl yet?There's a way Flea could respond to it, and that's writing to Raymond Pettibon and getting him to respond to it. Flea reads what Ray sends out, but I know better than to get into a discussion with Pettibon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I just think the halftime having gone back to pop stars, they already decided it was going to be a "taped in rehearsals" halftime. Bruno wasn't going to say no if he only has 2 albums to his name and has a potential billion people watching the show. RHCPs just went with the flow of the show and Flea couldn't bring himself to pretend to play the day of the event. I don't think he undermined the show with what he did. He put more energy into the jumps than his playing, not bad for a guy Axl's age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
