Kiedis is so god awful. Not a fan of their music either, but he's definitely the worst piece in that pie, no question. One of my least favorite singers EVER!

[Ghost Hip]

Wow, ILF just went down one serious peg in my book. Basing a band on lyrics and vocals? What are you? a bunch of 14 year old girls?

"Hey-oooooo, this is what I say-oooooo"

I don't give a fuck how good the background music is, it can't make up for how stupid that lyric is.

Yeah, bad vocals and lyrics can ruin any song.


I.... I don't know what new RHCP sounds like. I haven't listened to them in forever. I just know I used to really like them, and kinda stopped listening at some point for no real reason other than listening to something else.

Feud with Red Hot Chili Peppers
Singer Mike Patton was known to have had a bad relationship with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' frontman Anthony Kiedis, beginning when Kiedis saw Patton performing with Faith No More and accused him of imitating his style.[2] California was scheduled to be released on June 8 1999, but Warner Bros. Records pushed it back so as not to coincide with the Red Hot Chili Peppers similarly titled album, Californication, which was to be released on the same day. Following the album release date clash, Kiedis had Mr. Bungle removed from a series of summer festivals in Europe; as the headlining act at the festivals, The Red Hot Chili Peppers had final word on the bands that would appear.[2][28] Patton stated “Our agent was in the process of booking these festivals, and it was becoming apparent that we'd landed some pretty good ones—one in France, another one in Holland, some big-name festivals. Turns out someone's holding a grudge! We were booted off several bills, specifically because Anthony Kiedis did not want us on the bill. He threatened to pull the Chili Peppers if Mr. Bungle was on the bill. Now, rationalize that one! That's so fucking pathetic! I mean, this guy's selling a million records! We are not even a speck of dust on this guy's ass! What's the fucking problem?"[29] Trey Spruance added "We were booked, months in advance, to do eleven festival dates in Europe. Come Summer, we get a call from the three biggest of those festivals, all of them the same day, saying that we can't play, because the headlining band retains the right to hire and fire whomever they wish. We found out it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers, so our manager called their manager to find out what the hell was going on, and their manager was very apologetic, and said, 'We're really sorry, we want you to know this doesn't reflect the management's position, or the band's for that matter, it's Anthony Kiedis who wants this.'"[30]
As a result, Mr. Bungle parodied the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Pontiac, Michigan on Halloween of 1999. Patton introduced each Mr. Bungle band member with the name of one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, before covering the songs "Give It Away", "Around the World", "Under the Bridge" and "Scar Tissue", with Patton deliberately using incorrect lyrics. Mr. Bungle also satirized many of the mannerisms of the band, mocking heroin injections and on-stage antics. Kiedis responded by having them removed from the 2000 Big Day Out festival in Australia and New Zealand,[2][28] stating “I would not have given two fucks if they played with us there, but after I heard about some Halloween show where they mocked us and read another interview where Patton talked shit about us, and I was like, you know what, fuck him and fuck the whole band."[2] The feud continued with Dunn criticizing the Chili Peppers on his personal webpage, specifically their bass player Flea, stating "Flea, in all seriousness, really isn't that good. I mean c'mon Red Hot Chili Peppers were vaguely interesting in the late 80s, but Christ they fucking suck, they suck".[31]

WHA.. that counts as one fucking epic fail

Sure, I hardly ever listen to RHCP. But can't help it, I like the old stuff. Couldn't care less about their later hits, though I actually liked the One Hot Minute back then. Well, most of it, I think.

[Toonster]

What? Courtney is my favourite artist ever!

[bigchiefbc]

Not a fan of any of their music, of any era. And I'm really sick of the fawning worship people over on Talkbass have for Flea. I've heard a bunch of their songs, and nothing he does strikes me as any more brilliant or talented than any other slap+pop funk bassist. I like his work on the first Mars Volta album, but that's because he's not doing the bippityboppity stuff.

[dubkitty]

he's not exactly a Tony Levin-style titan of technique, is he? <sarc OFF>

[TroySanders]

some of their songs are tolerable when im drunk
