Red Hot Chili Peppers: 'Rock music as a form is kind of dead'Bassist Flea, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers fame, has revealed that he is disappointed with the state of rock music today. During a chat with SiriusXM’s Pearl Jam Radio, he explained that he "looks at rock music as kind of a dead form in a lot of ways." Flea said: "I just remember being so excited that we were playing with [Pearl Jam] and with Smashing Pumpkins, because it was just an exciting time for rock music. A lot of times, especially recently, I look at rock music as kind of a dead form in a lot of ways. Nothing to take away from us and [Pearl Jam], because obviously I believe we’re relevant bands that come with a real energy." "But if you’re a kid today, and you get in a rock band, it’s like – when we were kids, when I said I want to be in a rock band and that’s what I’m doing for my life, that’s what I was going to do, no question. You’d get: ‘You are a fucking lunatic, you are crazy. You’re never going to get a decent job in your life. What are you doing? You’re ruining your life."
