Chili Peppers admit guitars weren't plugged in for Super Bowl show

The veteran Californian rockers came under fire this week after viewers noticed that they didn't appear to have their guitars plugged in during the performance with Bruno Mars, during which they 'played' seminal track 'Give It Away'.
