Don’t think they took ajything from bungle. Only had a bitch fit that bungle was releasing an album of a very similiar name. End of story, Kiedis gets butt-hurt over the dumbest, small shit imaginable. The stuff between him and bungle is evidence of that.
Reason that Anthony Kiedis is a dumb, worthless piece of shit that deserves to die part 198723:
Basically, claims Patton was copying his ‘look’ in the Faith No More ‘Epic’ video. If anybody had seen the general ‘look’ in California around that time, it was pretty obvious the ‘look’ was generic and wasn’t solely Kiedis’. So… Patton basically calls him a fuckwit.
Cue bad blood, and the California and Halloween gig sagas.
This prompts Kiedis to have Mr Bungle thrown off the 1999 Big Day Out festival, and a bunch of other European ones. That. Fucking. Piece. Of. Shit. So he denied two continents the opportunity to see what would be Mr Bungle’s last tour.
I seriously would be thrilled to hear he died in a bus crash or whatever. He’s a total narcissitic, talentless cunt of a man.
Never watched much of the program. The prospect of having to watch Duchovny have sex week in week out is not very appealing. Does it offer more than that?
Mick, you make me laugh. I’ve always thought this too…
Meh… never could get into Bungles California… bored me to tears. I liked their first one and Disco Volante though.
California REDUCES me to tears! Seriously, some of the songs on that are beautiful! How can you not like it? Each to their own I guess… I couldn’t stand DV… not so much for the ‘weirdness’, it was those horrible kitsch 60s keyboard sounds, YEEEEACHHHH!
Kiedis has always held his band back. Everything about his act strikes me as half-assed. The rapping, the Iggy Pop lite stage antics and his decade long obsession with turning his band into a vocal showcase. I like a few RHCP songs, but there’s no questioning Flea and Frusciante are extremely talented musicians who would do much better to move on to other projects.
YES. I saw RHCP when they played Melbourne… almost an hour was spent doing improv sans Kiedis. This was the best fucking part of the entire show. They also did a free improv-noise gig at Fed Square without Kiedis. That band is fucking epic without him.
The drummer’s a bit of a fuckwit, though. He’s good, not the best in the business… Frusciante and Flea are indeed fucking geniuses. But I agree with people saying Frusciante makes or breaks the band… Flea has an unfortunate ability of lapsing into familiarity.
Massive lol at ‘ghost of hillel slovak’ in that video.
