Some of the early RHCP stuff wasn't too bad, they were never as good as they, or indeed lots of other people, thought they were though.
28 years later they are still the worst band I've ever seen. And I've seen Christian Death and Hanoi Rocks.
Should have gone to see lawnmower death
Some RHCP stuff is OK, some of it awful and a lot of it mediocre.
Saw them as headliners at Reading in '94. Absolutely shite. All of them obviously off their faces on god knows what, walking onto stage stark bollock naked apart from a woolly sock over their cocks. Followed by an absolute shambles of a set. Whoever had done soundcheck was obviously off their tits as well.
Saw them again as headliners in'99. Cleaned up, capable of playing and boring as hell.
Saw Lawnmower Death in '91 with a guy I used to go to college with (his brother's idea.) My only coping mechanism was huge quantities of Jack Daniels. Shit doesn't even come close to it. More a sewage works that's been broken down for a month but kept on receiving "raw material"
