Not a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers


Just stumbled across this amusing quote:-


I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

reply

...and he's always 100% correct.

reply

LMAO he ain't wrong.

Funny, don't know if you've heard it but I was led to that quote after re-listening to and reading the lyrics to Saint Etienne's Teenage Winter.

Has a sad lyric lamenting the loss of the traditional pub jukebox to the Chili Peppers:-


They took the jukebox out, and the Aussie bar staff are playing the Red Hot Chili Peppers
He tells them what he thinks
Manages to keep it clean
Buys another round

reply

He could have singled out Coldplay, Maroon 5, Nickelback, Creed, KISS or Motley Crue, but he chose the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Other than Anthony Kiedis, every member of the band is better than the ones I mentioned.

reply

Yeah but maybe he's not hearing them ubiquitously as the Chili Peppers... Or was anyway. Not sure how old the quote is but the Saint Etienne song above moaning about Aussie's playing them is eighteen years old now.
