Red Hot Chili Peppers to Cover Led Zeppelin During Super Bowl Halftime Show

The surprising collaboration between Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers scheduled for the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2 just got a lot more intriguing.

Speaking to reporters following the Guitar Center Drum-Off finals on Jan. 18, Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith revealed that the band wasn't focusing on Mars' material or their own for the show -- instead, they've been working up a live version of Led Zeppelin's 'Dazed and Confused.'

The Super Bowl show comes at a busy time for Smith, who's back to juggling his Chili Peppers responsibilities with his tenure in the hard-rock supergroup Chickenfoot, which also features guitarist Joe Satriani, singer Sammy Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony. Satriani recently revealed plans for a follow-up to 2011's 'Chickenfoot III,' saying he was "keeping Christmas and the first couple of months of [2014] open for recording" with the band.
