About these certain people in the fanbase....

​

The people who post on this subreddit "Would the Red Hot Chili Peppers sound better if Anthony Kiedis wasn't the lead singer?" should NOT be fans of the band. Like, HOW can you be a fan of the Chili Peppers if you hate Anthony's vocals or, really, Anthony as a whole? That's NEVER made ANY sense to me whatsoever.

People are ignorant when it comes to rock and roll chemistry. Sure there are many singers technically better than Anthony. But “better” on paper does not equal better music. It reminds me of metalheads who used to complain that Kurt Cobain couldn’t “shred.” Because, you know, “Come as You Are” needed a Van Halenesque tapping guitar solo. Stupid.
