Everybody who knows that this 42 year old Neil Young song is fantastic, is a true Neil Young fan

[DannyRayWhittenFan]

This is Neil with Crazy Horse. The missing link Neil found in a club in L.A. in 1968. Danny Whiten, Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot were the sound Neil lacked. His previous solo album had flopped and with Crazy Horse, within a year the album 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere' was released. This was the historic start to Neil young's career without the need for BS or CSN to carry him. Danny Whitten died in 1972 and Neil's life changed forever. The Needle and The Damage Done' was written about Danny.

@SteFrenchfan Agree about Flea. Excellent. I was forced to sit through a 20 minute Chad Smith drum solo once and nearly committed suicide. I was around for the 60s and Ginger Baker, so you may know how I feel about such things. Anyway, cheers. No reason to go to war about it. Best PZ

[SteFrenchfan]

@peterzang You also have the origins of the bands initial success wrong. Anthony didn't just start rapping when he 'joined up' with those you mentioned one night. That was his style all along. It was Brendan Mullen who got them their first (important) gig at Club Lingerie.

[SteFrenchfan]

@peterzang That's fine. I don't look to much into music, well not like that. I just listen, and if I like what I'm hearing, I'll keep listening. Lyrics don't mean much to me. They're hardly a clunky band, they have arguable the best Bass guitarist in the world (voted number two behind Paul McCartney by Rolling Stone, John Frusciante who was with them during they're most successful period is a fantastic guitarist, and Chad Smith, well nothing needs to be said about his talent.

[peterzang]

@SteFrenchfan Good one. I'm a musician and music writer. And along with a few other discerning souls (who don't think the RHCP have passed beyond criticism), I think they're a clunky, ordinary band, with marginal writing skills. And as I said, Kiedis has no relative pitch. I like Bob Dylan, Joe Strummer, Marvin Gaye and Iggy Pop. Kiedis got lucky one night when he joined up with those guys and started rapping. When I think of great songwriters and bands, they're not even Near the list.

[SteFrenchfan]

@peterzang That's your opinion. Again you twist my words I didn't say album sales mean everything, however you don't sell 70 million albums if you're shit. And Neil won't be throwing up at all. Anthony and him are good friends and play at each others charity gigs. You're being awfully defensive considering I never even said a bad word about Neil. Did you get bullied at school?

[peterzang]

@SteFrenchfan Yes, well we know that album sales mean EVERYTHING. I guess the motherfucking Chipmunks must be better the Beach Boys then, Good argument. I know when I'm talking to a great debater. And no drugs never had anything to do with it. Kurt Cobain-sadly-was great on drugs, as well as when he was clean. I stand by it. Kiedis is unlistenable. And somewhere Neil is throwing up.

[SteFrenchfan]

@peterzang Fucking muppets the lot of you. My personal opinion was given and you rednecks have jumped all over it because I dared to say another version is better. Anthony's voice is fine, not the best, but good enough to have fronted 10 albums and sell over 70 million albums, so I doubt your opinion on his voice matter to him in his muliti million dollar mansion. And he doesn't take any drugs any more, so you got that wrong as well. Now get back in your pick up truck and murder your sister boy.

[peterzang]

@SteFrenchfan I haven't heard it. But the chances of the RHCPs doing anything better than anybody...or even good is extremely unlikely. You must be a Fox News guy. They love to reference Hitler whenever they want to shut people down.

It's possible that Anthony Kiedis is the worst singer in rock history. He doesn't even have relative pitch. If I had made it that big and gotten that rich without a stitch of talent, I'd be shooting dope, too. The guilt of it must haunt him to this day.
