The Peppers are great as long as they are with Frusciante.Flea, Chad, John all seem cool, and I could be wrong but Kiedis always struck me as very full of himself/not even close to being as smart as he thought he was along with being an unrepentant scumbag?
Was a fan of RHCP (saw them open for the Pumpkins at a hockey rink) until their music dissolved into a parody of itself to the point that an actual parody song fooled a lot of people when it came out lol
Frusciante and Flea are like peas and carrots.
Even One Hot Minute with Navarro had some great tracks. Deep Kick.
I love Frusciante’s solo stuff too.
Guitar master track for BSSM is a great listen:
