Check into it, because honestly, they are getting to that "U2" level of recognition though I think will less mindless fanfare. There a good rock band, like all old bands, their not going crazy with experimentation, but this new song I've mentioned has a nice refrain, a hendrix/young-esque solo and doesn't have moronic words.

In their time Chilli peppers took risks. Its hard to be too inventive today, no ones every completly original, but if you're playing funk music when no one else is playing funk music, you're in the business for the right reasons. Im not a super fan, but they have my respect and except for "breaking the girl", I rarely turn off their music.

Only other bands did play funk music at the time RHCP were around.

Mainly The Minutemen and Gang Of Four... Though RHCP were even funkier, and they were more influencial on later bands, like Faith No More and Korn.

Gang of Four were probably just as influencial on bands like Korn as RHCP were if not more.

Do you know how many bands incorperated funk music into their sound in the late 70s and early 80s, I could name at least 10 just off the top of my head but their were many more.

The Pop Group
Gang of Four
A Certain Ratio
Cabaret Voltaire
Au Pairs
Delta 5
Eyeless in Gaza
fIREHOSE
The Reactionaries
Josef K
The Mekons

etc etc

Don't call me out on this, but I think Faith No More was around at much the same time as RHCP. But yes, they both influenced nu-metal - and Billy Gould's basslines especially show in Korn.

True, but some bands can take influence from their peers, and even bands that came after them.

Yes, that's true. I've just never heard of that connection. I've heard that RHCP influenced Mr Bungle, but not Faith No More. There are some who say that Anthony Kiedis ripped of Mike Patton's vocal style (which is amusing).
