the Super Bowl is corporate BS all the halftime acts lip sync and their instruments are not plugged in as mandated by the NFL, remember the RHCP new guitarist and Flea not even plugging in their instruments? Pearl Jam has way more class than to lip sync and have something previously recorded going through the PA, so please stop this nonsense of asking the band to compromise their principles by playing 2 pre-recorded songs, if they play the Super Bowl, unless the NFL changes it's policy, which will never happen, then I will lose massive respect for the band, real bands don't lip sync and pretend to play to something that is pre-recorded

As to the Peppers, they've proven themselves time and again more than capable of kicking live ass.
“When we were asked by the NFL and Bruno to play our song ‘Give It Away’ at the Super Bowl, it was made clear to us that the vocals would be live, but the bass, drums, and guitar would be pre-recorded. I understand the NFL’s stance on this, given they only have a few minutes to set up the stage, there a zillion things that could go wrong and ruin the sound for the folks watching in the stadium and the TV viewers. There was not any room for argument on this, the NFL does not want to risk their show being botched by bad sound, period,” Flea said.
that is Flea's side of the story and I did like RHCP with John Fruscante in the band, but not the same without him, and this is a hypothetical petition to support the band who I am sure have been contacted by the NFL to see if they would be interested at some point throughout the years, just to show that we support their decision not pretend to play using prerecorded music

I don't mean to nit-pick but given this is a hypothetical...kind of a reach.
And Flea's more than a-OK in my book. Motherfucker plays a badass bass.

RHCP without John Frusciante are just RCP, They're still good ( any band with flea would have to be) but they're just not as hot. Oh yeah and no to the super bowl thing, it just doesn't seem like a Pearl Jam thing to do but if they did I'm sure they would do it properly.
I'm sure that is the only way they would ever consider doing it, and that is enough to preclude them from it. I mean - could you see PJ doing a medley??? Hahahaha

Moot point however- I just can't imagine Pearl Jam at a football game. Now a quick PJ number during 7th inning stretch in a world series game- THAT would be excellent!
