how can people post angry post with the meters playing in background. Saw rhcp in preservation hall in the french quarter, new orleans. on the uplift mofo party tour about 1989. Meters and early peppers equally bad ass

The Chili Peppers worship the Meters. They jammed together at Voodoo a couple of years ago. The Meters created it. The Peppers appreciated it. The first RHCP record I ever heard was on a college station around 1980. It was a very funky , but hard-rocking cover of the Gary U.S. Bonds classic "New Orleans". They were into this music from the beginning.

Why is everyone arguing about RHCP on a meters video? Why does it matter what style they play? They're neither punk nor funk anyway, they're just a mixture of everything that influenced them, like most bands, except they obviously grew up listening to more diverse music than most bands do. SO CALM THE FUCK DOWN.

@robbertzzzzz Okay but im listening to some good music here and thats all what matters to me :)

@wowprogamer1 I'm just saying that punk isn't funk. Funk is what James Brown and Tower of Power play, and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers play punk.

@wowprogamer1 Since when do the Peppers play funk?
And this aint jazz, this is funk.

The 60 Minutes hat cracks me up :D
Everyone arguing the toss over who is better out of RHCP/Meters/Clinton is wrong. They're all talented and write good music, that's what counts. Not what YOU prefer. It's subjective.

Chili Peppers are punk ass wannabes?
Fuck off are they
The Chilis are original and any punk roots they had they left behind in the 80s...
