Red Hot Chilli Pepper - hard rock

Personally I wouldn�t mind them in hard rock (at least some of their stuff), but ʹm not an expert outside the "hits", so someone with a little bit more in depth knowledge of the band�s disco would probably be better to ask.

Do you want us to take a look or wait until your poll has concluded first Chris?

I remember months back being asked if they were appropriate to be added to alt metal.  While they occasionally get heavy at times, from my limited knowledge of their albums (though have heard many of their singles), I didn't think they had enough metal in their sound or have a full album that could be considered metal.  I've never thought about them for hard rock though. 

I voted no.  The line has to be drawn somewhere, and "hard rock" and "heavy" are far from the first things that come to mind when I listen to this band.

I'm a huge fan of the Peppers, and I'm very much opposed to their addition. I feel their entire discography has about 20 seconds of metal at the end of Higher Ground, and the hard rock moments are few and far between. What come to mind are a few distortion filled choruses like in Dani California, but the early output is just pounding funk rock. (It took me a while to realize that I'd written "fuck rock", which is very true as well, of course).

i actually like their later stuff better
