WOW! never heard of those ones, where can I get them? (all sarcasm fully intentional)

Just because my message was after yours doesn't mean I was specifically referring to you. I would have quoted your message.

Anyway, a lot of people haven't heard them. There are still people who only think of RHCP as the band who did Californication, Scar Tissue, Can't Stop, Fortune Faded and a few 'pop rock' hits. And they've probably only heard By the Way which was miserable compared to their other albums. I could understand people wondering what the hype about Flea is, if they've only heard, say By the Way.

Duff McKagen is the nuts, so over looked. Also, Gene Simmons is cool, considering how awful Kiss is.
