    I agree Eddie plays his voice like a guitar, mucking around with the gain and using different tones to create different moods. I sure do like to hear that man sing.
    I only have BSSM, which i haven't listened to for years and Californication, of which I think I like every second song, but haven't listened to for ages.
    I am far from an expert on RHCP for sure. I was just getting off on the tones and a lot of Frusciante's playing on SA. Can't say I love the vocal, it is very repetitive, and haven't seen them live to comment on that. Sounds like you don't think they completely suck.
    Have got headache from Boogie now, not yet convinced I like it more than my Hughes and Kettner. Maybe I just haven't learnt how to drive it yet.

    Kiedis' vocals piss me off more and more everytime they resurface. I used to love BSSM as a teen but their new stuff is cack imo.

    Frusciante is the heart of that band now... Keidis seems to just be hanging on for the money, his heart just isn't in the music, it's a going through the motions thing by this stage for him. I've seen them live this year and they created an immense groove between Flea and John, but Anthony really sucked all life out of the show with his wooden performance
    die on a hilltop.. eyeing the crows,
    waiting for your lids to close..
    but you want to watch as they peck your flesh..
    Ironic that they go for the eyes first

    His vocals really cripple RHCP these days.

    Lucky for me I don't really listen to the words, I just hear the guitar.
    I can't sing for shit, so I don't care. I must have listened to some Metallica and PJ songs a thousand times, and I barely know a word. I'm gonna have to take lyric sheets to the concert so I can croak along and not just sing rhubarb.
    Gittar now !!

    What has not being able to sing got to do with not caring if a vocalist is any good or not? The sheer amount of bands I like musically but won't listen to because the vocalist ruins everything for me is huge, and I couldn't hold a note to save my life!

    It's not that, I just find that I concentrate on teh guitar more, and find it easy to filter teh voice out if I don't like it.
    If a singer has teh goods, I'll listen up for sure.
    Would you be talking about metalcore bands by any chance ?
    I think they sound like they have a nasty goblin stuck in the back of their throat they are trying to hoik up !! LOL !!

    I'm not talking specifically about metalcore bands, although they definitely fall into that category since the vocals can be so damned monotonous. But I don't like a lot of those bands because musically they're so bloody unoriginal.

    Yeah, the vocal filter doesn't work there, most of them are giving it up though, it's so last week ! LOL !!
