Aiming to surprise her daughter with tickets to a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert, this poor mom got her own surprise. The pair ended up with tickets to a Red Hot Chilli Pipers concert. Talk about a spicy surprise! Anyone familiar with attempting to navigate the Ticketmaster website to purchase concert tickets will understand this hilarious failure. One thing is certain: this daughter can tease her mom for years!
For the many of us who have never ever heard of the Red Hot Chilli Pipers, allow me to introduce them. They bill themselves as the “most famous bagpipe band on the planet.” If your only exposure to bagpipe music was from “iCarly,” you will be surprised at how beautiful these instruments sound. Hailing from Scotland, band members wear modernized versions of traditional Scottish attire. That means kilts, sporrans, and knee socks. The band adds electric guitars and other instruments for an eclectic sound that is stunningly amazing.
Emily Bennett is a typical young adult. She is busy with activities and trying to have a great life. Spending time with her mom was going to be a special night out. Although it didn’t turn out exactly as planned, Emily said that it was “actually a great time.”
Red Hot Chili Peppers and Red Hot Chilli Pipers — So Close
It is an understandable mistake. The band names are eerily similar. The music, however, is vastly different. The Red Hot Chili Peppers play a mixture of punk rock, funk, alternative rock, hard rock, psychedelic rock, and hip hop. They have an eclectic blended sound and have contributed to the creation of genres consisting of this blended sound, including rap metal, rap rock, funk metal, and nu metal. The band is well-liked by many and known for providing a great show.
The Red Hot Chilli Pipers combine keyboards, guitars, drums, and bagpipes. The sound is collectively referred to as bagrock. Their music includes a wide variety of traditional bagpipe songs and many contemporary cover versions of popular rock music. They perform over 200 live shows yearly and are active on social media. You can find them on Facebook and Instagram. If you would like to hear some of their music, check out their YouTube channel.
Be honest. We have ALL made mistakes very similar to this. I know I have. Regardless, we’re glad this mother/daughter duo had a great time at the concert. Share this with a friend who has made a mistake like this so they can have a laugh, too!
