You may not like them as a band, but come on, both of them are very creative musicians. Either that or you do not know what that word means.
Oh yea, sorry, you're right! I don't know what it means! How could I!

Here's another idea: listen to what I'm saying. I'm not denying their virtuosity as musicians. I'm saying that the music they've been writing in recent times has been bland, insipid, commercially-oriented pop rock. And it has. It's their creative skills I have an axe to grind with. Not their musical skills. The Chilis have been nothing worth mentioning since like 1991.

And Kiedis is an utterly appalling lyricist. I don't think anybody could honestly say otherwise. He's not even that good a singer.
