Obviously different cases but we all agreed The Cure were past their days as a relevant G headliner until Neil came in with info saying it was happening, right? Difficult to say. Ten years ago, I'd have said so - but those R+L slots were raptuously received back in 2012 and their reputation for mammoth performances through the Hammersmith Christmas Shows, the RAH Teenage Cancer gigs and the 2016 World Tour get them ticking over in terms of public... notoriety? (If that's the right word.) Then, when the BST gig sold out with a snap of the fingers, it kind of capped off their return to the limelight. Folk will have looked at the demand for that show and gone "Yes, I'd fancy a little bit of that". So I'd have had them as a prospective headline option since 2012 at the very least. But I do get why folk are a little nonplussed by them being touted as a lock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm forever near a stereo saying, 'What the fuck is this GARBAGE?'" he fumed. "And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers." Amazing really coming from the most overrated, insufferable, dog shit artist in the history of music. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I actually know from experience that Cave is more about purple dress socks than an Adidas crew, if that helps people along with the visualisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Dickfingers Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 The red hot chilli peppers? Jesus Christ what is this 2002? They’re absolutely shite haha. Does anyone good, anywhere say they were a big influence on them? I couldn’t think of a more irrelevant band if I tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you think about it they've exhausted the big 70s acts (Neil Young etc), so really it's only a matter of time until they start mining the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re p shit but they’re still as much an entry-level rock band as Foo Fighters, and their popularity is only a smidge below them too. Again, I don’t think they’ll ever play but, if they did, they’d get a bigger crowd than most possible headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastynh Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Now my memories are very hazy of the late 90's and 2000's, but if I remember rightly the RHCP were absolutely huge and were seen as quite a hip and credible band. They were seen as far more credible than Green Day and far, far bigger than bands like Pearl Jam. Now admittedly I was into Italian House and plinky plonk piano handbag house during those times, but the RHCP were the massive cross over success if I remember correctly. When did they become the butt of everyone's ire and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
