Red Hot Chili Peppers

And put it on the greatest hits... My most hated RHCP song ever, I really really can't stand it. I liked the rest of By The Way album though.. Some of it was pretty good. Obviously, not compared to BSSM though, but still good music.
 
I don't get supergroups.
You take 4 amazing musicians like the ones in chickenfoot, and it turns out to be a boring band.
You take the seemingly mediocre musicians from Rx Bandits, the awful singer from Chiodos, and Anthony Green and you get the amazing Sound of Animals Fighting.

The hell.
 
I’ve been exposed to more things RHCP recently and I realize that while their not the musical revolution they once were, they certainly are a respectable and quality band. I think unlike certain banRAB that have been going for as long as they have, their still going for it. I’m not their biggest fan but I get the impression their still trying, albeit with less quality results. I’d be more upset if they were mailing it in.
 
I guess I see your point that they were somewhat punk influenced, at least in the way they presented themselves. It's not all that noticeable in the music itself IMHO.

I added another paragraph to my previous post but I think we kind of cross-posted and you may have missed it. Anyway here it is for what it's worth:



Since this conversation has inspired me to pop on Nothing's Shocking, I'm also realizing that it's pretty hard to deny the fact that a song like "Idiots Rule" is funk-metal by basically any measure.
