That describes 90% of music these days. I can't say who's the single most over rated band ever, there's too many to go through! None-the-less, Imma say the currently most overrated band is either Korn or Manson. Korn has serious talent, I listen to the **** myself, but it's played out. Manson, he/she was played out before he/she came out.

I think Red Hot Chili Peppers is the worst band in the world today. There are things the fans don't know about them and what they do and did. Maybe they should really know what complete bad guys those guys are especially girls who want to follow them. They beat their women and I met this girl who was in the hospital because of Kiedis while he was doped up like usual. She says that every day and kneels down to Satan and asks Satan to guide him how to kill off the population. He did this for years and tried to murder his mother who is in California. His sisters are afraid of him as well I've heard. They said he smeared blood on their cars one day and tried to write Nazi on their walls when one of them came in and screamed. He painted her red with the paint. He does Satan coded lyrics that is something I don't know so much about but in it he tells all the fans to f__k off and die. On the subliminal recordings that is where they put the barely audible recordings on their cds he says to everyone "Kill yourselves for me...kill yourselves for me...kill yourselves for me". The Peppers are the worst. I wouldn't listen to them. His sister Dani I heard made a police report that he was shooting heroine in the house and butt F___king two guys and they were wearing black capes and dress. There is a police report on him about this.

All I see in your post is specualation. Lots of "She says; I've heard; they said" no fact, no evidence, nothing of the sort. I can tell you this for a fact though, I (nor anybody I know of) have ever wanted to run out a kill somebody, or worship Satan, or any of that after listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers. I usually wanna smoke a blunt or have a party. As far as the f**gy s**t, hell Kiedis and Flea've sucked face on stage! Ya' know now that you mention it, the first time I bitched down my girl we were playin' Chili Peppers. Scar Tissue was on and for some reason I just couldn't resist the urge to pop my head out the bedroom door, stare her down in the kitchen and say in a deep, almost scary, pimp voice, "Hey baby. The doctor is in. Come on over here. Imma stick it in your ass!"

[Doc.DGAF]

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention! After that she had me do it three more times before we split!

[MURDER JUNKIE]

only three???

This is complete rubbish. You need proof of some sort - you can't just make ridiculous accusations. And how much do I have to pay to access these subliminal recordings ?

Doing heroine (or any drug) isn't exactly a new thing for musicians - it has always been around. No-one is going to dig up Jimi Hendrix from his grave and arrest him because he did drugs. And if Anthony Kiedis was/is homosexual (which I don't believe is true), so what? Freddie Mercury was as well.

If Anthony Kiedis was a Nazi, he would be racially inclined towards the Aryan race. What this means is that he wouldn't write songs against racism and he probably wouldn't work allow a black person to produce a RHCP album.

If Anthony Kiedis (or RHCP) treats women badly, why would they have a song about Dani California, where Dani California is the embodiment of all women? In this song, Kiedis calls Dani a priestess and says he loves her - he doesn't sound like a sexist abusive person.

It sounds like you're using stereotypes for satanism. Go to www.churchofsatan.com, and you'll find that many stereotypes about satanism aren't true.

Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that they're an incredibly awesome band - and it's about the music. It doesn't change the fact that Flea is an incredible bassist (and trumpet player). It doesn't change the fact that Frank Zappa wanted to hire John Frusciante for his incredible skill. And it doesn't change the fact that they've influenced huge bands such as Rage Against the Machine, Incubus, Primus, Mr Bungle, Pearl Jam, Infectious Grooves and Sublime.

Infectious Grooves??

I can't believe Mike gave up Suicidal for that garbage
