About 20 years ago, Nick Cave made a remark ” uncharitable On the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but assures that there was ” No malicious intention Ā».
Twenty years ago, Nick Cave gave his opinion on the music of the time in an interview. “” I'm always near a stereo chain, to say to myself: “What is this shit?” And the answer is always āThe Red Hot Chili Peppersā Ā». At the time, this declaration sparked a reaction from the bassist of the Red Hot, Flea: ” I was only injured in a second, because my love for his music is greater than all this shit, and if he thinks that my group is zero, it does not matter. But in recent years, the remark has become a very widespread meme.
Wednesday, Cave tackled the omnipresence of this quote in its question-answer forum open to fans, The Red Hand Files. “” About twenty-five years ago, I made a spontaneous and not very charitable remark on the Red Hot Chili Peppers. There was no malicious intention; It was just the kind of detestable thing I said at the time to annoy people. I was a troublemaker and I felt more comfortable in the role of societal irritant. He added that he thought it was a character trait among the Australians his age. (It should be noted that Flea, which is five years younger as Cave, was born in the same Australian state of Victoria).
The Bad Seeds leader wrote that he had found the response of moving Flea and even ” class Ā». “” Flea was a human being of a completely different caliber, or even a higher order Ā», Writes Cave.

“” Last week, Flea sent me a song and asked me if I would like to add a few voiceswrites Cave. It was for a ātrumpet discā that he is doing. It is not for me to disclose what the song was, only that it is a song that I cherish more than most of the others, with probably the biggest text ever written, a song of such esteem that I would never have dared to sing it if Flea had not asked me. “They recorded the song, which Cave describes as” A beautiful conversation between the Flea trumpet and my voice “, Last week. He wrote that he considered her ” form of reconciliation and apology Ā».
During the European tour Wild God Last fall, Cave explained to WECB that the interpretation of the songs of the album was more invigorating on stage than when he had recorded them: ” It is as if the songs had not yet arrived on the disc, but that they arrived on stage, and these songs are simply epic. It's incredibly moving. It's something for us to get to this point so early in a tour. Usually, it takes a few concerts for things to put in place. Ā»Ā»
