Unpopular Music Opinions

**Frownland** · 07-06-2018, 10:23 PM

Popular opinion: Green Day is ass from what I've heard

Unpopular opinion: Red Hot Chili Peppers could have been a great band without a one-noted vocalist like Anthony "Literal Garbage" Kiedis. And a better drummer. Their trajectory ruined some talent I tell ya.

I don't have anything in particular against the drummer, but Kiedis makes the band unlistenable.

So if asked if I dig 60s and 70s rock by a pleb I'd be like "Hell yeah" but inside I'd be sneering like an ******* cause I know my asterisk would confuse them like the idiots they are.

This opinion is unpopular mainly because I'm an douchebag.

An?

I think John Fruitysante and Flea had potential that they thwarted.

some days i can listen to rhcp and say “hey this isn’t that bad”

sometimes i listen to them and think “this may be the worst band in the history of music”

all depends on my mood i guess

I don't understand why Frusciante was ok with wasting his time in that band. Needed the money for his drug habits, I guess. I don't even like Frusciante that much, but I kinda doubt RHCP would have gone far without his guitar hooks.
