Chicks on Speed
Chicks on Speed supported Red Hot Chilli Peppers in Hyde Park with James Brown.

They were one of those shitty arty concept bands.

After being on 2 hours or so late they came on and pronounced that they were chicks on speed and uttered their shrill slogan WE DONT PLAY GUITARS.

Yes you also didnt expect to have bottles of urine thrown at you either did you.

I took this video of what happened after about the 3rd song.

They went off after that and their banner was torn down to great applause. Their greatest mistakes were a) Jeering back at the HOT crowd who were forced to wait hours and b) THROWING stuff back at the crowd

I was at that gig, the best bit was when Flea was thanking all the support acts, and when he thanked Chicks on Speed, the entire crowd boo-ed.

Also, James Brown being so utterly decrepit and barely being able to dodder onto the stage, utter 'Get Up', whilst the rest of his band did all the work.

I too was at that gig and to be brought down to Earth after the hilarity of Chicks On Speed by James Brown's achingly pitiful performance was a low, low point.

Quite sad really.
