This is different too because they were still so young and relatively unknown. I know they were huge in LA at the time but hadn't yet broken into national success.
It is always a weird situation when a key member dies (obviously
) It was interesting how New Order rose from the ashes of Joy Division.

To the people saying them and Bruno's band faked it, you might not have heard,but they invented this thing called a radio transmitter. It send wireless signals across airwaves to a receiver. The instruments each had a transmitter in lieu of wires. You can clearly see them. This is a cutting edge technology, so I can understand why you couldn't figure that out.
You don't know what the frick you're talking about.
Bass lines were happening when his right hand was no where near the strings.
These superbowl shows with MOST artists are backing tracked especially with 30 degree weather and instruments going out of tune.

I liked their first two records in High School, they were fun and I was young...
Mother's Milk was OK... and by BSSM, my musical tastes had shifted so much and I hated the songs on that record...
Long story short... there is no other band that I once loved that I now hate with the equal amount of emotion...
I didnt know who the half time entertainment was, but when Bruno started singing Give it Away, my left eye started twitching because I knew it was coming... And then, there they were, shirtless and jumping around like 50 yr old morons... and what was once a promising evening, was derailed by the game and then laid to waste by Anthony Keidis and the rest of those guys...

Not really big on his music, but much respect for his musical talent and showmanship.

It doesn't appear that they had any transmitters and were really playing air guitar. It'll be interesting to see if the band comments on this.

Pretty clear to see they weren't using wireless packs and had no monitors or amps
But I love when people try to educate me on live shows and production. Hilarious!

Yep, they just don't realize they are talking to the bassist of the greatest live act Louisiana has ever seen!

To their credit, cold weather can really screw with instruments in a live setting like that and its possible that they just couldn't get it to sound right during rehearsals.
I at least hope AK was actually singing.

I think both of them were singing but were both using backing tracks.

I like Hillel, but if they called it quits then, we wouldn't have gotten Mother's Milk, their best record. I like early RHCP, but they were always a bit of a jokey band. It wasn't until Hillel died that they added some emotional heft. I like their party records, and Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a blast, but their early stuff is fairly slight.
And Flea is the heart and soul of that band.

No, just no. I think more of Flea being the heart, soul, and glue. Frusciante just happened to be another fill in lead for the band. I probably wouldn't argue against that he was the most talented of the fill-ins but he's not Red Hot Chili Peppers. He just happened to be the fill-in on their most popular. You might as well credit Rick Rubin for that.
**I think I originally worded that wrong.

Frusicante is great live and on his solo records, both of which have nothing to do with Rubin.

The irony there is it took Hillel dying to do that... but death does that to people..

Like I said, I wouldn't argue against him probably being the most talented fill-in but he's not the Chili Peppers. As far as his solo work, I think it's more hit or miss. Sometimes his singing is so bad that it detracts from his music.
