The Stones only did 3 songs, and most of the others do 4.

yeah, he has five #1s, he could a medley of shortened versions of all them and easily fill the 15 minute slot.

Plus bust out another cameo a la Sting, or one of the songs someone else had a hit with.

I may loathe his voice more than any living creature's, more than I loathe Alicia Keys' these days. Ubiquity's a bitch.

Super Bowl halftime show, huh?

Anecdotal evidence has it that people were largely impressed. He's no one I listen to on purpose, but when I saw him last year, it was basically exactly like the halftime show, but for 90 minutes or whatever. He and his band are really good on stage. Why were the Chili Peppers there at all?

he drummed!
― Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 3 February 2014 15:24 (ten years ago) link
He was good on the drums. I still like nothing about his music but I came away very very impressed by him as a performer.
― Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Monday, 3 February 2014 15:25 (ten years ago) link
He had an unfathomable degree of perfection to his performance while still managing to seem loose.

i loved the drum solo opening
also his drummer is his brother iirc

Yeah that was all pretty slick. No surprise new tour dates got announced right after that, no better ad for it.

I thought the aging, shirtless chili peppers jumping out and doing give-it-away was a hilarious art joke though.

xp: Orly? I missed the game, but here are a couple comments that turned up in my facebook feed via a couple of 35-ish friends:
Anthony Keidis. I so would. Then, now, and always.
I still have the hots for Anthony Kiedis...even in a pair of leggings I would probably wear.

the 50 year woman I was with was not impressed

50 year old
But yes Bruno is a great live performer (I'm just not wowed by his songs).
― curmudgeon, Monday, 3 February 2014 16:03 (ten years ago) link
Didn't know he played drums. Dug that. Dug most of his set, actually. But ugh, fuck the fucking RHCPs and their awful, fundamentally unfunky drummer.
Actually, "unfunky" is too kind. He's negative-funky.

I was surprised that I did recognize a couple of BM's tunes from hearing out there in the ether, he's def a good performer/entertainer but an accurate James Brown impression isn't exactly artistic greatness, but he was like fine.
The switch over to RHCP was just weird. I am happy to report my social media feeds erupted into a bunch of Fishbone jokes and it continued when I went over to my local p-word bar afterward.

I'm still struggling to rectify George Clinton's interest in/affiliation with RHCP in the early 90s.
― Alfre, Lord Woodard (Eric H.), Monday, 3 February 2014 16:30 (ten years ago) link
weird that he had no female dancers/performers at all (?)
also i thought it was cool that his band was all men of color.

seems like a rare case of someone's profile being raised by the Super Bowl rather than an already on-top or slightly-(or massively)-over-the-hill artist performing.

Clinton produced their second record. Andy Gill (?!) produced their first. It's all a rich tapestry.

I know I'm a big music nerd etc etc but I don't really understand how you can have TEN top 5 songs within a 3 year period (with seven as lead artist) and still have ppl going "who is that"

also the first three RHCP albums are still great

Is Bruno really as diminuative as Prince? (5'2"?)
A friend mentioned that she'd seen Bruno and Bieber in the same room and Bieber towered over him, even though both their hairs were similarly pumped up to gain a couple inches.

He was pretty good hosting Saturday Night Live awhile back. Some folks who never listen to pop hits radio or don't notice such songs elsewhere I think discovered him there.
