Controversial music takes
I saw them live. Fishbone, STP (original line up), RHCP. All of my friends were so excited about RHCP. I thought I knew a lot of their stuff, but I guess I really didn't.
We get to the concert venue (The World amphitheater in Chicago). We see one or two of the guys from Fishbone running laps around the parking lot. I think the guy ran 3-4 miles. Before their show!
I didn't know a single song of theirs, but it was fun and had good energy.
Then, STP hits the Stage and puts on probably one of the best 45 minute sets I've ever seen. No lighting, no pyro, just great music, and a ton of energy. Scott Weiland was a slithering snake force of nature. I didn't own a single one of their CD's.. I realized I knew everything they played, and I loved their music. I bought one album within the week, and I think another soon after.
Then they're done.. audio equipment is being swapped out. .the sun is starting to set.
RHCP finally take the stage. Pretty cool lighting. I knew like 4-5 of their songs.. the rest were pretty boring. The only interesting person on stage was Flea. Flea is another force of nature.. everyone else sucks. maybe they used to be fun, or interesting, but they were just sorta chill, except for Flea. The thing I loved about Flea was that he was the "filler" between almost every song. But by the end of their set, I had started to get a headache (no drinking, maybe from a long day in the heat), and their music was boring me. Their final song was some sort of slow jam song, that ended with just a ton of guitar feedback/distortion.. sounded awful.
I seriously felt like STP should be the headliner.
Something close to this, without the lighting.
I second this.
