I used to quite like RHCP so wasn't an issue for me. And it was 20 yrs ago when they were a lot better imo.

Just yesterday this guy said to me, "I'm taking my son to his first concert!"
I'm like, "Oh, yeah? Who are you seeing?"
"Red Hot Chili Peppers!"
And I just turned and walked away. Thinking about it now, I guess that was pretty rude, but I had no interest in talking about them. Haha.
I saw them in 2003 at a festival and I thought they were very good.

forget the voice, those song titles are just terrible.
-
interesting thread.
There are genres of music I really dislike but I can absolutely acknowledge that those artists / bands are still really talented in a lot of cases and put on great live shows.
I guess for me to hate an artist they'd need to be either obnoxious- like for instance Liam Gallagher, or just really useless , like for example that idiot from the pogues.
Or maybe someone who alienates or disrespects their own fan base like Michael Eden.

I've seen him once about 20 yrs ago and he looked too old then lol.
These guys / bands just go on too long.

Interesting commentary on all this. I'm not sure what all the fuss about the vocals is about and I don't really care to be honest. I just thought the songs were all pretty average. I was hoping for one keeper as I feel like it deserves to have at least one contribution to my 2023 playlist... but it's a pass for me. 'Juliette' was my favourite track, but still not a keeper, imo.
his vocals are so accented , that's a massive pass for me. Only listened to 1 song lol

Exactly where I'm at on this....
The music is outstanding and it sounds like something I should really like but I've totally soured on Strandell's vocals. I don't know what it is exactly...tone, accent....tough to say exactly what bothers me but his vocals almost make me cringe.
this ^^^^ 💯

glad you liked VHS Collection 👍

classy AOR

pretty decent about hits in on the head.
Sounded a bit second rate Midnite City to me and all a bit wishy washy.

But to me, recording covers of very well known songs just isn't that interesting. I'll usually listen once but never go back to them.
that is if you get through the first listen 🤣🤣

Once again, this is just a matter of opinion. And the fact that a cover does not improve on the original is neither here nor there. If it is still enjoyable, then in is not an "utter waste" now is it. Yes some covers are just cash grabs or lazy ways of recording new material without all the work that goes into writing a song, but a lot of covers are done because bands or artists want to show their inspirations.
As long as a cover is not god awful (go listen to Paul Dianno cover Symphony of destruction), and they are enjoyable, they are not an utter waste.
of course it's opinion, what isn't.
For me most are a waste of time. I'll listen once and probably never again. On an album I'll just skip 🤷♂️
Khymera - Hold Your Ground
in AOR and Hard Rock

I'm only interested in hearing stuff this year which I know has been written and recorded by the band , like Defiants, Winger, ModX, Creye, Midnite City, Vega etc
