It wasn't Simply Red. Sorry.


You have SEVEN ticks from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' surprisingly large range of UK Top 40 hits. Use them wisely.

'Dude, Yr So Crazy!'

If any band exemplify the post-1990s tendency for glorified frat-boy values to be taken seriously as counter-culture, surely it is they. And for "funk" to mean "an ugly, stoned, tattooed white man playing slap bass".

Does anyone into them REALLY see the RHCP as at all counter-cultural though?

Does this count?

Their music is like never becoming a boring 9 to 5 adult, always cruising through life in a irresponsible devil-may-care way.

Guess where from...

Bollocks, they're complete hippies*, Fred Durst is clearly the first door to knock down here.

*Not that I'm saying I'd want to get caught in a lift with them for long enough to go up or down one floor.

Limp Bizkit were kind of like the absolute optimised best possible version of the Chili Peppers concept, i.e. still pretty bad but had a kind of force RHCP totally lacked (plus also "We got humans using humans for bombs")
