Red Hot Chili Peppers' retarded funk-rock may have been forgotten by all but a few (million) idiots still wishing it was 1991 while watching Point Break on repeat, but their much-repeated formula has wowed those responsible for the MTV Video Music Awards nominations: the LA group are up for seven gongs.
The four-piece's 'Dani California' is shortlisted for Best Rock Video, Best Group Video and Video Of The Year. Why?
Also on the receiving end of seven nominations is Shakira. Madonna and newcomers Panic! At The Disco are nominated for five awards each, the latter's 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' competing with 'Dani California' for Video Of The Year. Madonna's categories include Best Pop and Best Choreography.
Elsewhere in the nominations, U2 are up for Best Special Effects and Green Day's 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' is a runner in the Best Rock Video category - it's their only nomination following seven last year.
Acts due to appear at the New York ceremony on August 31 include The Killers and Justin Timberlake.

VMA VMA VMA VMA - NOW
That didn't really work did it?

'FUCKING EMO, THEY ARENT EVEN GOOD.'
Also, RHCP's video is fucking crap.
don't you mean...
p!atd ?
=)
i really like the video tho
they dress up as elvis and the newyork dolls eaturing david bowie and the sex pistosl meets the clash and misfits and hendrix funkadelic.
w00p.
i like rhcp
but the song is a bit poor, and so is the video
Superb video
I'd love to know what some of you think constitutes a good video.
new
thom yorke?
mtv's awards are shite.
i am still left confused by the notion of the music video in general. music is for your ears, not your eyes.
AND WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO PEOPLE DOWNLOAD VIDEO'S TO WATCH ON THEIR MOBILES???!?
i feel like an elderly man that has been left behind by technology. when i am only 25.
yes, mtv awards are shit
but not for that reason.
I love good videos, they become an art form in their own right, and are great to watch if they complement the music well. The videos that are given awards at the MTV awards are, as a general rule, absolutely awful though. for shame.
Peter Gabriel
Sledgehammer.
BEST VIDEO EVER MADE BAR NONE
MTV
MTV killed TOTP - bastards. What's more, not one of the "artists" nominated reflects the diversity of great new music being made in the world at the moment. RHCP, Madonna, Greenday U2?!! All has-beens.
Oh yeah, at least the Twuntmeister didn't get on the list. I guess that's something.
I'm breathless
breathless from the twaddle that is being spoken here. Can't you people please think before going tap-tap-bang-bang-bang into your keyboards?
Sledgehammer is one of the most overrated videos ever.
Red Hot Rubbish Peppers did not kill Top of the Pops. Everyone knows Coke Zero did.
RED
Hot shitty buggers!!! I hate them so much it hurts me a little inside.
talentless fucks
yeah I agree...
..that flea bloke really needs to learn how to play Bass huh?
yep
Slap bass fucking sucks.
I never understand
How artists take the credit for their videos.
