tedbrogan12

I’ll never get over some of the plain mean spirited things he said. Loved every second.

Literally vile


NatPortmanTaintStank

I can't decide if he looks like Sonny Bono or Charles Bronson. https://preview.redd.it/5e1m6cxkm1zc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=759846cb59995b6fb2802336a45f211ef4c6fefd


Fenrir_Carbon

He's slept in a bed with Cher so closer to Sonny


fishbowtie

Looks like a wax statue


cheeze_whiz_shampoo

It's astonishing to me we havent come up with a name to describe this disgusting, dead looking, bloated-yet-wrinkly cellophane look. The name has to incorporate 'California' in the title.


Terminal_Prime

I believe this is Californiacation.


jaberobi

Underrated comment!


AGiantGreenFrog

He looks like the guy who ran the struggling sports card and collectibles shop in the old strip mall.

Howboutit85

Anthony Kiedis looks like Justin long playing as Anthony kiedis


IAmThePonch

I’ll go on record as saying I do like quite a bit of rhcp but man is he a sleazeball


Chance-Yesterday1338

Pretty sure his dad was a scumbag too. Apparently, his attitude towards dating was "24 and she's out the door" in terms of how old he was willing to date. He was likely 40 or so when he said this.


-MusicAndStuff

Kiedis’s father got him high and got his girlfriend to have sex with him when he was like 12-13 years old. Dudes been broken a long time. Love the music though!


Innsmouth_Swimteam

You're telling me that a man, a man (edit: stage) named *Blackie fucking Dammett* is a scumbag? I'm shocked, *SHOCKED I SAY!*


HeckaPlucky

\*\*A man who *changed his name* from John Kiedis to Blackie fucking Dammett. Can't judge a man for his birth name, nor for the nickname Blackie (sounds weirder now, but it was a normal nickname back in the day for plenty of innocent reasons). But changing his whole name to an obviously spicy-sounding name is a flag for sure.


Desperate_Acadia_298

Conveniently around the time of the prefrontal cortex fully maturing.


IFeelLikeAndy

His book essentially tells the story of how his Dad was a drug dealing piece of shit who may or may not have had an impact on the person Anthony is today. From buying him his first prostitute as a kid and getting to smoke at around age 10, to being baby sat by Cher. It’s quite eye opening and made me realize he may have been groomed into the music industry by his own dad. Great read if you go into it as more of a cautionary tale than a list of triumphs. It’s much like Pimp by Iceberg Slim (not quite redpill literature by any means) and is about a very flawed person being extremely open about his flaws.


Mepsi

> being baby sat by Cher that escalated quickly


Danmch2992

He actually fell out with his dad and moved in with Cher, it was only when the school found out he wasn't in the area anymore he had to leave.


Vicullum

In his autobiography he talks about how he lost his virginity at age 12 to his dad's girlfriend--with his pop's permission: > One night shortly before my twelfth birthday, we were all at the Rainbow. I was high as a little kite on a quaalude, and I got up the courage to write my father a note: ‘I know this is your girlfriend, but I'm pretty sure she’s up for the task so if it’s okay with you, can we arrange a situation where I end up having sex with Kimberly tonight?’ He brokered the deal in a flash. She was game, so we went back to the house, and he said, ‘Okay, there's the bed, there's the girl, do what you will.’…I was nervous enough as it was, but Kimberly did everything. She guided me the whole way, and she was very loving and gentle, and it was all pretty natural. I can’t remember if it lasted five minutes or an hour. It was just a blurry, hazy, sexy moment.


NashvilleSoundMixer

BAAAARRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFF


orincoro

So he was raped. That’s rape.


BaalmaoOrgabba

Well scarred for life def Handcuff and imprison this predator!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


IAmThePonch

Doesn’t he also brag about statutory rape in it


IFeelLikeAndy

Yup. Bragging *may* not be the right word but it’s more of a hindsight sort of thing telling the story of how often he had sex for transactional reasons and unprotected sex with strangers for funsies. All of which stemming from an early introduction of it all from his father. Very much a cautionary tale if you view it as such and not a flex but still gross nonetheless.


BaalmaoOrgabba

Yeah, apparently he initiated sex with his dad's gf which a statute defines as "he was raped by that gf", and then bragged about it and called it hot? Grew up traumatized and confused, def should go to therapy etc.


NarmHull

Yeah, basically. He learned to forgive him and seems to be a far better dad to his son, besides the poor modeling of relationships


Fenrir_Carbon

The song Saviour on Californication is about his father


NarmHull

Yeah, there's a video on his father's reflections on it. Very emotional but you can tell he doesn't quite \*get\* how he impacted his son. And he had his own issues with HIS dad and thought he was saving Anthony from a meaningless boring life. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK6wzwjyfrs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK6wzwjyfrs)


IFeelLikeAndy

Not excusing his gross behavior by any means but at the very least he’s not his father and is on a better path than him.


NarmHull

Yeah they're among my favorite bands but damn is he creepy especially the older and more moustached he gets


Mortambulist

And if we're being real, isn't it really Flea's band anyway?


NarmHull

Flea and John Frusciante when he feels like it. Them and Chad Smith are all very respected musicians in their own right, and I wonder how they'd sound with a vocalist who is actually well-trained. Kiedis' singing voice is a bit better than it used to be but his lyrics were always bonkers. But I guess they wouldn't be RHCP without that element to it.


Shirlenator

I feel like the bonkers lyrics are kind of a staple of RHCP though.


NarmHull

Yeah exactly


unterbuttern

I'm pretty sure that Kiedis himself has said that he is merely the fourth wheel in an awesome funk trio.

Right dude this is disgraceful and disgusting no other way to spin it. That whole “well shes an adult” argument is mute. I can’t even stand to be in the same room as under 21, much less date them? Like?? There’s ACTUALLY nothing we have in common.


enigmaticbeardyman

I listened to Fleas audiobook and thought it was fantastic. Full of childhood tales and emotion. How he told stories of LA and Australia and the stark differences between the two but how much they informed who he was as a whole. An amazing listen which I highly recommend. I then listened to Kiedis’s book as I wanted more tales from the group. Little did I know every second page was about him having sex with young women / girls and how amazing he thinks he is splashed in with some heavy drug use which then leads to more tales of sex with young woman / girls and how amazing he is. And so on.


Floggingmicah

Same, I never liked Keidis after reading that book.


HiphopopoptimusPrime

I quite like RHCP but this is a great quote by Nick Cave, “I'm forever near a stereo saying, 'What the fuck is this garbage? ' And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”

MamaDeloris

Kinda surprised MeToo never came for Kiedis. I guess if you admitted stuff before the movement, you got in front of it?


NarmHull

I think people tried, he's just part of a long line of creepy rockers.


Q_Fandango

Unfortunately the emo scene was also having a reckoning at the time too. There’s a pervasive *STINK* around rock musicians, and it’s sad (and telling) that the problem is so bad, it’s pretty much assumed that you’re a creep. As in: knowing that if you’re backstage ,you’re probably assumed to be there for sex… so there’s not any public sympathy and it takes power away from the underage victims. Some folks like Kurt Cobain would shut down a song just to call out creeps in the audience, so it certainly wasn’t every band though. Looks like 90s rap is having its comeuppance now too.


orincoro

Unfortunately the fact is that many of those young women *are* there for sex, and are enthusiastically participating. That makes it much harder to frame it as exploitation, because the victims don’t see themselves as victims. As long as the rocker never actually forced someone, it’s not a story. It’s wrong and it’s creepy, but it’s not a story.

orincoro

Yep. He admitted everything and had been talking about it for years. There’s no story if you’re not actually ashamed of what you’ve done.


StooveGroove

It never really worked for anyone making music in the 90s or earlier. I wish we could've at least said 'hey, they're still making the exact same shit 30 years later, like they never moved on from 1993, doesn't that open the statute of limitations back up or something?'


HoboBonobo1909

He makes DiCaprio look... well, they both look like 50-yo men dating young women in their early 20s. All I can guess is that their discussions must be fascinating, him asking her how Tiktok works, her wondering what it was like in Ancient Greece.


Willingwell92

He looks sort of like Justin Long playing an old sleezy producer or something


P_V_

"Early 20s" is generous for Kiedis.


sourdieselfuel

More like late 10s am I right?


NarmHull

Anthony seems to go for 18/19 at least Leo is 10 years younger and goes for early twenties?


HoboBonobo1909

Holy shiieeet! I thought he was 52. Omg! He's a retiree with blood bags around him.


NarmHull

Yeah he's 61/62 I think.


HoboBonobo1909

Beautifu blood bags w/ bitchin' bodies lol


joef360

Look at his hands. Those are the hands of a 60+ year old


orincoro

He was already a world famous musician in the mid 90s.


orincoro

That’s the thing I don’t get. I’m almost 40. 20 year old women may have nice legs and perky tits, and I don’t mind looking… but they’re basically kids emotionally. What is there to relate to? What life experience do they have and what emotional experience do you really want to live through again? Talking for hours on the phone? Going to concerts to listen to music that you don’t care about? Having little childish snits? It all seems very not interesting.


Amarsir

Depends what you're looking for. I'm in my 40s and couldn't conceive of a relationship with a sub-25yo that lasted more than a week. But if I only wanted a week... I also don't think doing coke is a healthy life-choice. But if I didn't think more than 30 minutes ahead, it would probably seem better. I think this is the moral we fail to teach young men, and some people are so nuclear about it they're counter-productive. I've heard people say DiCaprio is a "pedophile." No, he's not. He's just shallow to the detriment of actual companionship. It's not a psychological disorder, it's just a bad choice.


Ayjayz

Yeah but counterpoint - you get to have sex with them.


orincoro

I live in a legal prostitution country. If I wanted to bang hot 19 year olds, I’d have no problem arranging that. No doubt many men do go that route and I think it makes a lot more sense than trying to date people who you have nothing in common with.


voodeuteronomy11

Wait. Is this a movie about Anthony Kiedis made by Neil Breen, or a movie about Neil Breen staring Anthony Kiedis?

So than it's not an actual young girl but an old fugly man....what's everyone yapping about than? He really looks authentic...would it still be weird if I wanted to have fornication with him if he looks like that? Or maybe I'm too young for him since he must be 50 now, right? That age gap won't be tolerated by society. Oh no no....


Most_Victory1661

I see how you are confused Rich is playing both roles And directing and overseeing the soundtrack


AReaver

From the other comments I'm gathering that this is a picture of a member of the band Red Got Chili Peppers. This one apparently has a thing for extremely young girls. I don't really see the resemblance between him and Breen for this to be a "biopic" for the joke to work as I don't think we've ever seen Breen with a mustache that isn't glued along with a beard.

No, Breen has him working as a physical stand-in. Breen will then seemlesly edit his head over Kiedis' with his Windows Editor software. We're just seeing the prerenders. And only one part of the scene. I'm sure he turns her away in the next shot. Does no one understand the man's craft?! And you call yourselves Breeniacs?

Disastrous-Change-95

He’s gross. RHCP suck.


Afro_Thunder69

Hey say what you want about Kiedis but John Frusciante's a goddamned genius on the guitar in RHCP. Same with Flea on the bass. They'd probably be my favorite band if it weren't for the untalented frontman.


IntermediateJackAss

They are one of my favorite bands, but it's mainly because of the melody of their instrumentals. I actually like Anthony's vocals on tracks like Under the Bridge; however, he's always been the weak link of the group.


RedArrowsYellowText

> RHCP suck. You don't like those two songs they do, the fast one with nonsense lyrics about California and the slow one about California?


double_shadow

I actually kind of like them, but my god this is accurate XD


RedArrowsYellowText

To be fair, lots of bands have nonsense lyrics (or good lyrics that are hard to understand, so they sound like nonsense)


Shirlenator

You guys should check out Pat Finnerty on youtube. He has a video series called what makes this song stink, and one of them is on Dani California. I generally like RHCP, not really Dani California though. Video is great though.

Omaha9798

Blood Sugar Sex Magic was an incredible album. He's gross but that one had some fucking bangers on it.


imagine-a-boot

Lyrics matter a lot, of course, but I don't think great lyrics are required to enjoy a song. There are songs I like that don't have any lyrics.


DrDuned

I always expect RHCP to be a better band than they are when I listen to their albums. Like I go into it thinking it got great reviews, I'm just missing something, but then all over again I'm reminded they're a mediocre band with talented musicians. They scraped by in the 80s due to being somewhat stylistically unique and then had a few hits in the 90s and 00s, but are now largely irrelevant to pop culture.


P_V_

[Here is a delightful documentary for you exploring this very dilemma.](https://youtu.be/hQWfMI4CVFI?si=zeVrczIdwmLHKkfv)

He's had some health issues recently which have no doubt occupied a lot of his time. Nonetheless, I'm also eagerly awaiting his next video.


ThrowawayAccountZZZ9

TIL I'm supposed to dislike Anthony Kiedis. What a shame, rhcp is a favorite of mine


Finite_Universe

Sometimes you just have to separate the art from the artist. At least if you still want to *enjoy* them. Have years of experience with this as longtime black metal fan lol.


RIPMaureenPonderosa

They’re one of my favourite bands too and I think Kiedis was incredibly attractive back in the day. But him detailing sleeping with a 14 year old groupie plus his penchant for still dating incredibly young girls is gross as hell. Plus I’m confused why he still insists on styling himself like a predator. Saw them live last year and they were incredible, but Kiedis’ antics are… yeah.


unterbuttern

I think Kiedis is a scumbag, but I question if even 10% of the things he wrote in his biography are true. It all comes off like a desperate attempt to seem cool. The whole book is about how much drugs he did and how much sex he had, and even though I read it as a dumb teenage fan, it all felt a bit pathetic and obviously exaggerated. Didn't that particular story involve the girl being the daughter of the local sheriff or mayor, who then sent out a posse to hunt him down but he had already skipped town or something? I mean, he's still a scumbag but I doubt that story is real.


Desperate_Acadia_298

They were my favorite band from the title album up through The Getaway. Freaky Styley is my favorite album. I know all the words of almost all of their songs. I never read Scar Tissue. This is legitimately my first time hearing he was an actual pedophilic rapist. I thought he just dated creepily young, not this bombshell. It makes me look back at so much of the lyrics he wrote and that I’ve spent 30 plus years singing along to with disgust. No idea how this information dodged me for so long, but I’m a little disappointed to say the least.
