I think it’s become hip among the music press to take potshots at them, which is a shame. Their early period is fan-frickin-tastic, and I honestly don’t think their late career output is bad, it’s just not nearly as good as their early stuff. But no one rags on the Stones because Voodoo Longue isn’t Beggar’s Banquet.

Really, one of the best bands at incorporating funk into rock. Flea is an amazing bassist as well, which helps. Fun band and I never get tired of Mother’s Milk.

True, but the Stones put out many great records...

I give them credit for longevity, surviving a terrible early self-destructive period and death... To still be around making music and staying relevant is a huge achievement, I just dont like their music (Maybe Slovak and Irons were the creative force I liked in them back then)

I just don't think their music ages that well.They kinda remind me of Rage Against the Machine in that way.Above average musicians but I can't really see Zach screeching out their style of music that well at 40 either.It would wear on everybody after a while.

RHCP got pretty good at promoting and branding themselves.
