AXL ROSE DELIVERS EPIC BURN DURING RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS’ UNPLUGGED SUPER BOWL PERFORMANCE
Welcome Music Nation 365 readers! If you’ve been online recently, you’ve probably heard about the so-called controversy surrounding Flea’s Super Bowl performance where he was caught with his bass unplugged. But let’s be real, this is nothing new in the entertainment industry. Similar to the fake amp scandal with Machine Head, these are just tricks of the trade that have been around forever.
For those who may not know, bands playing at the Super Bowl often perform to pre-recorded tracks because every minute of airtime is worth millions of dollars. The crew has a tight timeline to set up the stage, get the band on, and tear it all down within 25 minutes. There’s simply no room for audio mishaps, hence the reliance on pre-recorded tracks.
The backlash over Flea’s unplugged bass got so out of hand that he actually had to release a statement addressing the issue. In his statement, Flea emphasized the band’s dedication to their music and live performances, highlighting their commitment to improvisation and taking risks on stage.
Despite the band’s genuine intentions, the controversy didn’t die down, with none other than Axl Rose stepping in to throw shade. In a guest op-ed for Billboard, Axl took a humorous approach, suggesting that Flea may have had a revolutionary microchip technology implanted in his rear end to transmit bass frequencies. The sarcasm was strong, with Axl even signing off as “Ax” due to length constraints.
While Axl’s jab was undeniably witty, it’s clear that the entire situation has been blown out of proportion. It’s time to move on from this spectacle and focus on the music, rather than getting caught up in unnecessary drama.
So, let’s put this all behind us and revel in the fact that music is about creativity, passion, and expression. The Super Bowl may be a high-stakes event, but let’s not lose sight of what truly matters – the power of music to unite and inspire us all.
