i've come to realize people here are always talking schnit about him....
reminds me of high school girls making fun of other girls, mainly out of jealousy
regardless of what you think of his style of music, he's done what we all would like to do: play bass for a living
it's like people saying justin timberlake or clay aiken suck...you know, i don't like their style of music (as you can tell from my s/n i'm into good ol' rock 'n roll), but i won't say they suck, b/c they don't...
and even if it's just making a middle class income, or being famous, he's done it, and alot of you have not
if you say he's not that good and he's over rated, check out his sessions video, the one that has chad smith on the drums, i guarantee he can out play 99.9999999999% of you
and yes, that's including me
easily...so, even if you think rhcp suck, would you be there bassist? hell, i'd be the bassist for the new kids on the block if they reunited and wanted me to play for them...celine dion, any of them...maybe one day i will, and you all can say i suck while you're wife, kids, or friends buy the cd of this "suckie" bassist and help pay my bills so i won't ever have to have a 9 to 5 job that i'll hate, which i'm sure most of you hate yours.
