Writers weigh the pros and cons of RHCP's third ACL Fest in a decade.
] that I went into an obsessive period about the Beach Boys. While I was making the record, it was more the Beatles, Erasure, Queen.", first RHCP LP with Frusciante since 2006 double album. The guitarist's every touch lays Malibu melodies over Ventura grooves. Rick Rubin's return also presages another new album this month,"It's just a chemistry that's there," shrugged Frusciante in 2004 about Anthony Kiedis, Flea, and alt-rock Bonham Chad Smith.
I worry that's how Live Nation bookers perceive the audience of the Zilker annual's anchor rock slot. Need a Gen X staple? Give us Rage Against the Machine. Radio rock band? How about Måneskin? For any band to necessitate headlining three times in any decade, they'd have to be all-time greats. I'm happy to expound on why the Chili Peppers are not that.
Anthony Kiedis' maladroit delivery – particularly on RHCP verses – can be corny as hell. The prosody of the human voice is best as a complementary layer atop what's happening musically, but Kiedis' funk rap verses frequently pile onto whatever phrase the bass or guitar is repeating rather ungracefully.
Now, I'll freely admit the mustachioed vocalist packs a fun presence and has written over a dozen brilliant choruses. I'll also stan John Frusciante's electronic albums and argue that Flea stands among the most joyous and sweet-hearted instrumentalists in popular music. None of that offsets the evidence that, since 2002's, RHCP's increasingly Auto-Tuned songs sound like they were generated by an AI music program called Bing Bong California.
