When the Rolling Stones recorded "Love in Vain" in 1969 it was like they were digging up an unfathomably ancient blues tune. In fact, the song was 32 years old then. Whereas if a band today does a cover of "Sympathy for the Devil" that's a song that's over 42 years old.
More to the point of the thread, though, it's hard to believe the Red Hot Chili Peppers are a 28 year old band.
