Who sucks more, RHCP or Foo Fighters?

Man do RHCP blow. Like a song here and there but I ain’t a fan of the funk. They should have split years ago but they love the cash too much.

The Foos was the first gig that i ever went to back in 1995 at the SFX in Dublin, great night. The first album was fantastic but from then on it went down hill very fast. When i heard Monkewrench i knew something was up, it ain’t bad but it was the sign of things to come. Also the fact that Ghrol always said Big Me was just a cheesy pop song and then he kept writing more and more of the fucking things. Terrible stuff.

RHCP suck more mind.

I’d go for “The Chilis” too. I don’t like ‘funk’ either, and whenever I’ve seen them on TV they’ve always struck me as a bunch of tossers. The singer is a right posing bellend and “Flea” looks like a gurning retard. The guitarist is talented though, no question.

For me ‘The Color & the Shape’ was the last good album the Foo’s produced, Dave Grohl played most of the instruments himself and it was mixed by Chris Sheldom.

The last album I really enjoed by the Chillies was Blood Sugar Sex Magic, I liked some of One Hot Minute but was never got into Californication..

I chose the Chilies as I’d probably still enjoy some of a Foo’s set if I were to see them live. the Chilies are boring and all their riffs sound the same these days

That’s a tough one - I hate them both. But I liked the colour and the shape when it came out, whereas I always detested RHCP, so they win

that’s true! i mean i liked californication, but the follow up album was almost identic to californication. and the latest (double album!!!!) is also the exact same thing.. to me it sounds like they have released 3 identic albums! and that’s boring…

Saw the video for Walking After You last night, terrible stuff. Some good bits on Colour and the Shape but i never liked the production. Loved the demo sound of the first one, i suppose thats because it was a demo, but it was great. Seen em 5 times, best was 1996 at the point.

They both suck, but I go for the Peppers, as you see/hear more of them around here than the Foo Fighters. So I spend more time being bothered by them then the Foo’s.
They’re on more festival bills over here, or at least they’re higher on the bills, and so their name is displayed bigger on adverts, so you can’t ignore them anymore…
They’re just not good anymore.

Whenever the Foos have a new single, it is on the radio what seems like every other song for approximately 6 months prior to release right up until their next piece of cack is out, and they must work extra-specially hard to make the first couple of bars as annoying as they possibly can, so that even if you switch stations as soon as you can, you still have their evil wafting around your car.

Saw both on the same bill in Glasgow a few years ago and FF completely stole the show. Dave Grohl is quite a talented and funny guy,and he can play live, whereas RHCP are hopeless live.

Agreed - Chad Smith is DULL as fuck - he plays the exact same drumbeat on EVERY SONG !!!

John Frusciante is hopeless live

Flea is the only decent one.

Taylor Hawkins is a superb drummer.

RHCP are one of only very few things in life that actually make me angry.

i just don’t get why they’re so damn popular.

RHCP, for a lot of reasons, but most of all for the hard time Kiedis gave Mr. Bungle. Falsely accusing them of ripping him off… Jealous cunt.

Hey Graeme - do you share my opinion that Free Me sounds a wee bit like SMA ? :D

Anyway - I still think The Debut is the best - then Colour and Shape - then In Your Honour.

:)

The Learning to Fly video is GREAT though :D:D

I think RHCP, i respect too much Dave Grohl as a musician to say they suck.
Someone didn’t like the Queens of the stone age when he was playing drum.

I think the Foo’s suck more , i thought their first couple of albums were ok but everything they’ve done since has been very bland.

I voted for RHCP but listened to Dani California last night and realised what a great tune it is.

Foo Fighters haven’t done anything good fo about 10 years now that i’ve considered worth buying tho Best Of You is a top tune.

I think both these bands were pushing it by releasing double albums. Who can sit through them?? I certainly can’t… i haven’t even made it through Mellon Collie yet! :)

I went for the Foo Fighters. They release a catchy single now and then, but all in all they’re just not very interesting and don’t deserve all of the attention they are getting.

RHCP haven’t been good since “Californication”, but a band that made an album like “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” can never be completely banned from my heart. I just wish they got rid of Kiedis, though.

I love Foo Fighters mainly because of Taylor Hawkins.

He could show that plod-meister Chad Smith a thing or two

( waits for Graeme to come barging in saying that Chad Smith is an ” amazing ” drummer ) :D
