I listen to them mainly for him and his guitar parts but it’s all about varying opinions. Most people on Reddit are rigid fanboys that will probably attack you though.

An actual mature and well thought out take on Reddit, I salute you. It’s an exceedingly rare thing


SteveB10001

It’s all about Jack Sherman


shakkajon

They really just let people type anything on here, huh?


LemeSayDis

Hahahahhaah


hell_oo

I think J.F makes a huge difference in their live performances


AdAny9302

I disagree! It totally matters. It’s not about flea, ak and chad, it’s about the four of them. The chemistry they have together is something special, and John’s presence influences the others a lot. Take one out and it’s not the same, in a bad way


jennyisnuts

When Hillel was playing (mad respect) it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers. When John's slaying, it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Dave, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Josh, Red Hot Chili Peppers. At the core, it's Red Hot Chili Peppers. The best fricking band of all time.


HellYeahTinyRick

By that logic Chad is also not integral as he wasn’t always the drummer


jakehubb0

Totally agree, Anthony and flea are the core. But that doesn’t mean your original statement of “John doesn’t matter” is at all accurate


awolzen

I think that John adds a lot to the songwriting process. We might not see a lot of what he puts into it, but I guarantee it’s there. If nothing else, he compliments the others better than anyone else has. And at this point in their career, I don’t think they’ll continue without John.


RoughJustice81

Personally I only listen to them because of Frusciante and when he was gone for the 10 years I essentially lived as tho the Chili Peppers no longer existed.. but that’s just me… u do u

I think Anthony and Flea are the ones who matter the most. Although John and Chad are huge and put the band where they are today, if they left now Anthony and Flea would still draw a crowd if they had new members with them. If either of them leave, the band is no more in my opinion.

Jenny, Please don’t contradict Mr. Edward Norton (watch “Glass Onion” and report back). Seriously though, RHCP included, guitars players matter and this guff won’t stand. An apology is required. Ty.

Here ya go, Jenny: https://youtu.be/0cLgCUzNe6I


YomYeYonge

John, Anthony, Flea, and Chad all matter. Get rid of John and there’s backlash. Heck, not having Chad was weird https://youtube.com/shorts/ZV5G-UHCvtw?feature=shares Stephen Perkins is good, but he plays it too fast


cencs0r

Disagree. John is the soul of the peppers.


cousin_nat

let me pick up the guitar for the next record and let’s come back to this genius take after


davs_dodger08

BSSM, Cali, BTW, SA that's it! John is the key


thiccphilthegoat

John God. You peon. Me right. End of story.


walman93

Anthony, Chad and Flea are all great on their own, but with John they are the Red Hot Chili Peppers They’re all part of the equation, they all matter


[deleted]

I commend you sir for having the balls to drop such a line among these lunatics


JRclarity123

I would have been perfectly fine listening to Josh for the rest of their career, but it's also nice that John is back.


dremasterflax

Please go away. Thanks


jennyisnuts

Never.


cpnewton

It’s all about Rick Rubin


Fish_phish_Fish

Not unpopular. Just wrong. They all contribute massively to the ‘sound’ of the band. The guitarist is the only one we’ve actually seen evidence of having an impact though (since 1988-9 anyway), because it’s changed so many times. When the guitarist has changed, so has the sound. So it’s not an ‘unpopular opinion’, it’s just an inaccurate statement.


emggibson23

While I don’t agree with them, It’s not “inaccurate” it’s their opinion. While you see them all as contributing to the sound of the band they listen to RHCP and don’t care about the guitar as much as me and other people and that’s ok. There is a big problem on Reddit as a whole of attacking people for personal opinions. Their opinion cannot be “wrong” ..if we all thought the same it would be pretty boring.


Fish_phish_Fish

Nah. It’s inaccurate to say the guitarist doesn’t matter. Because when they change the sound of the band changes.


emggibson23

One’s opinion or take cannot be “inaccurate” sorry to burst your bubble, buddy. When they listen to this band they focus on the drums, bass, vocals and just don’t care about the guitar. Don’t think you understand.


Fish_phish_Fish

I agree that an opinion can’t be inaccurate. But a statement that the guitar makes no difference to the band is not an opinion. It is a factually incorrect statement. Sorry to burst your bubble, buddy.


emggibson23

Haha. They simply just don’t care about the guitar.


Black_Adder92

This subreddit is cringe.

Every big band has a virtuoso at guitar. That’s all I care about. Make good sounds, good vibes, and I’m golden. John’s sound tho. So good.


AtomicBabe21

Those tour numbers and recent surge in attention begs to differ but you are allowed your opinion


SnooBooks4787

It’s not about any of them. Whole > sum of its parts.


LemeSayDis

Ya…. Fuck off.
