This past Sunday's Super Bowl marked one of the most watched TV programs in US History with 111.5 million US viewers. During the half time show we were delighted with Bruno Mars and The Red Hot Chili Peppers having a performance of their lifetime… well kind of. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were only pretending to play their instruments and some people noticed that Fleas guitar was unplugged but not many people truly seemed to care.
ICYMI: Flea was playing air bass the whole time. I feel so lied to. #pic #SB48 #HalfTime #RHCP pic.twitter.com/q445jla4vF

Flea did respond and admitted he had no choice:
No trickery. No choice, but no trickery

On the flip side if when you get Daft Punk “performing” at the GRAMMYs by throwing in samples here and there, there is a public outcry.
