2bitnogoodjive Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I was gonna post that but I think he was just joking. Would be too cool though, guess we'll find out Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THUNDERZEP Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 He was joking. That is why he said LIVE version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slave to zep Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Interesting. could be I was gonna post that but I think he was just joking. Would be too cool though, guess we'll find out Sunday night. maybe he is. when i first read it, i thought that D&C is not the best ZEP song for the Superbowl .... He was joking. That is why he said LIVE version. i don't get what you are saying - there are many live versions .... but you are probably right that it is a joke.

Strider Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Obviously Chad was joking...the "live version" remark is a giveaway that he was kidding around. The Chili Peppers don't matter to me as much as they did in the 80s or when John Frusciante was still with them, but I'll still check out their halftime show...it can't be as bad as some of the others have been.

JP78 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 i thought bruno mars was doing the halftime show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Much like most of the other music events on television anymore, it will be both RHCP and Mars to try to get a wider audience to stay tuned. It could be good - I like them both. As Strider said, since John has left the band - again - they are not as relevant anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm looking forward to this. Bruno Mars is one of the few pop acts I really like. He's very talented. I'm also a big Peppers fan so this is a plus for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Only Way To Fly Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 OMG that live version is hilarious! At first I was like Ok I guess that'd b cool but then his comment - its freakin brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 RHCP to perform Dazed And Confused? Don't bet on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The chili peppers have a live version of dazed, on a cd single from the early 90s, extra track/b side. The nme article was misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when most people refer to Dazed And Confused live version, they are speaking of the 73/75 version which could last thirty plus minutes.

ScarletMacaw Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 LOL! I would rather watch the Red Hot Chili Peppers than the Superbowl; maybe someone can alert me when the halftime would be. May I point out that the use of the word "relevant" is incorrect unless it is in relation to something, in other words, "relevant to..." maybe you mean you just don't like RHCP anymore.

Walter Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 They've become a parody of themselves since John's departure, that's what I mean by them not being relevant anymore. With each changing member, they have changed their musical direction somewhat. This last album was not. I still enjoy their music and look forward to the energy they will bring to the performance. The halftime show should be around 8:00 eastern, btw (no pun intended ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ^^^ Walter's mostly right...RHCP's days of relavancy to the music scene are slipping away. Maybe they have one more burst of creativity in them, but I think most of the people who go to see them now just want to hear the "Mother's Milk"-"Blood Sugar Sex Magic"-"Californiacation" stuff. "Just play the hits, maaaaan!" It's just not the same without John F. Anyone ever notice how much Chad Smith looks like Will Ferrell? Just don't mention that to Chad...he hates that.

THUNDERZEP Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 http://news.radio.com/2014/01/29/red-hot-chili-peppers-confirm-theyre-obviously-not-covering-led-zeppelin-at-the-super-bowl/ "We will, however, be performing side one of Rush's 2112." lol I have always thought that Rush would be a great Super Bowl halftime show. They have enough mainstream music to make everyone happy and still rock out. I imagine the set would be something like Tom Sawyer, Spirit Of The Radio, Freewill and Closer To The Heart.

SuperDave Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if the RHCP just throw in a bit of Dazed during their set, due to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) I have always thought that Rush would be a great Super Bowl halftime show. They have enough mainstream music to make everyone happy and still rock out. I imagine the set would be something like Tom Sawyer, Spirit Of The Radio, Freewill and Closer To The Heart. I agree. Yet, there is something about rush that has gone over the heads of mainstream music fans. Something like this would be interesting for rush. It would be a chance to win a lot of people over. I had a new found respect for tom petty after his set, years back. Actually, at these events, cover songs would be a good idea. I remember that story from steven tyler, where they played zeps/immigrant song at festivals in the 90s. He said, they could actually see the crowds reaction to zeps music. Would have liked to seen paul and ringo to do an everly bros song, or buddy holly song at grammys.
