Okay, I have a different definition of the genre Metal. In what song does the RHCP's include Metal into their workings. Metal to me is bands like Slayer, Pantera, and early Metallica.
It's "Crazy" with Alicia and Liv skinny-dipping with some poor farmboy sap, right? I think 94 was the only year I ever watched MTV.
Aerosmith>RHCP Favorite Aerosmith song... [video=youtube;oDAPtrsWSmk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDAPtrsWSmk[/video]
Aerosmith is not even close in this competition. If it wasn't for Run-D.M.C they would have disappeared forever as just another drugged up band from the 70's, and we would have been better off for it to cause they would have stopped making albums and shit singles like "I Dont Want To Miss A Thing". I don't even consider myself a RHCP's fan and I still think they win this hands down.
RHCP but i'm bias. Funk/Punk/Rap/Rock with a tad bit of softcore metal in the old days. What a great band. Just recorded a 1 hour biography on them last night on the bio channel. And how are the Chili's not a top 100 band of all-time? I have them top 20.
Jayremmie said it better than I could.. some "Softcore Metal" I'm not talking butt rock like the others you mentioned
