The Red Hot Chilli Peppers really bore me to tears

I think there's just something about modern American rock music
The Foo Fighters have the same problem - there's nothing particularly wrong with the music, it's not overtly shit, I just can't be bothered to listen to it.

I just look at stuff like Everlong and Hey Johnny Park from FF's second album
and think they were doing things right, and then they released several albums of the same boring song, more or less. and people lap it up.

Maybe it's something about American audiences as well - are they just happy to buy the same album over and over again
Hell, it's been working for Green Day since about '89. Look what happened when they tried to do something "different" - Warning was, I thought, a brave effort, but it absolutely bombed. Then they went back to the same old formula and - whaddya know? - success again...

89?
Have Greenday really been going that long? I thought they were only about twelve!

Blood Sugar Sex Magic is an outstanding album
and One Hot Minute is good, but they did go down hill somewhat.

I saw them at Reading in 2007, they were fucking diabolical.
I was really looking forward to it and they sucked shit. They had to restart two songs cos they fucked them up.

I saw them at a festival in Denmark and they were fucking superb
that was probably 2002 or thereabouts.

I have never understood the appeal
to a certain extent this could also be said of Radiohead.
