Maybe Lollapalooza isn't the best venue for the Chili Peppers but I saw them in '07 and they were awful.

If they are picking the best live acts RIGHT NOW, then someone over the age of 50 should not be on the list.

I saw them in probably '03, and it was easily the worst and most boring concert I've ever been to. I have no doubt that they were once a great live band, but they probably haven't put on an exciting show since the mid 90's.

rack him!

also, it's quite sad that skrillex is the lone electronic music representative in a world where daft punk currently has a song that can't get the fuck out of the constant rotation en-masse societal install (you know, "get lucky")
