They were ok in 88 but living colour were better!
Didn’t mind them when the only music I had was a tape that had Uplift Mofo Party on one side and Join The Army by Suicidal Tendencies on the other but then I heard other music and went right off them. Seem like a bunch of pricks too.
Chilli peppers are the epitome of cringe.
Flea seems a good lad and gets a pass as he was in big lebowski, but that singer, Jesus.
Anyway, Fishbone.

I saw Fishbone the year after, at the Astoria. Singer stage dived off the balcony. Crazy gig.

I’m not a fan of the foo fighters or the red hot chilli peppers but calling either the worst band in the world is an interesting take

Aye. That’s Oasis.

Genuinely can’t think of worse bands that lots of people like. Foo Fighters especially, it’s like AI-generated parody music. Just flatlining music for people who don’t like music.

But Dave’s so bloody nice.
Agree though they’re as exciting as mushy cornflakes

Don’t mind Dave and I read his book and as soon as he gets big it become a slog. May as well be reading a fucking Bublé biography.

He was writing Foo Fighters songs while he was in Nirvana. Side projects are meant to be more interesting than the day job, not a thousand times more boring.

I can’t remember who it was, but a review of a Foos album from a couple of years back made the argument that Grohl seems to refuse to let himself cut loose and push the music of the Foos too far, almost because he doesn’t like things being out of control…
I like the first couple of Foo albums and the odd track since (white limo) but they’re just middle of the road bland rock these days. Weird because Grohl obvious has the ability to make interesting music - Dream Widow/Probot etc
He was in Scream for a bit FFS.

Facts.
I loved their album Mothers Milk then a few bits after that and went to see them live about 20 years ago at Manchester City Stadium.
Support acts were James Brown (as a warm up? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ), then Chicks On Speed.
It was during some very anxiety fuelled years so don’t remember JB as I was having a massive panic attack. Chicks On Speed were quite bad and got a stadium full of boo’s.
When the Chilli’s came out they gave the crowd a big bollocking which ruined the atmosphere and my liking of them to this day.

First heard of the RHCP when I saw Thrashin for the first time and then shortly afterwards they had an interview in Thrasher, 89 or so.
I saw them on that tour just to see JB. He was amazing, chillis were shite. Crowd were lame as well, never heard such a wet sing along, or mumble along …
JB though, worth it

Yeah in the early days they did have something pretty good going on. Used to get played a lot out at club nights we used to go to along with Jane’s addiction, ministry, Gaye bikers etc. I can still taste the Thunderbird and puke

Pre-internet when you couldn’t find out nothing about anything I was watching a film called Wiseblood and it turned out was the source of all the samples for Jesus Built My Hotrod was such an amazing feeling.
