How could I forget Roy.
Not the best album maker, but absolutely melting voice.
Jim Morrison has a nice wilting/smooth voice as well.

No worries - they were one of the most important thing to me as a teenager. I met Michael Balzary (sp? Flea) and John at a Silverlake Music Conservatory in 2002. Their music has been a part of my identity ever since I found music (like 8 years old/1992).
Don't mind=don't care for or don't mind as in you don't think the new direction is bad? It seems a bit bland without John and Rick Rubin to be honest. In some ways it is a bit more mature and in other ways just boring. Dunno.
That's cool you got to see them 2x? See them with John? Second biggest music regret - seeing RHCP without John. First is not seeing R.E.M. at the Hollywood Bowl in 2008. |
Don't mind as in I don't think it's bad. I think I'm With You had a much more bland feel than the Getaway has so for me at least there is that big step forward. I like a number of songs off of I'm With You but the production has never been my favorite. Rick Rubin has produced a ton of great albums (including BSSM and Californication) but sometimes I don't like his overall influence, and I'm With You feels really flat and slightly compressed (nowhere near as compressed as fucking Californication though). So far I like what RHCP did with Danger Mouse more than what QOTSA just did with Mark Ronson.
I've never seen them with John unfortunately. Only started listening to them a few years after he left the band. First time I saw RHCP was the first night at Metallica's Orion festival in Detroit in 2013(?). Second time was on the Getaway tour in Detroit. They were much tighter.
On topic of musical regrets, I wish I would have gone to Peter Gabriel's So anniversary tour god damn it.
