Flea objasnio zašto je rock umro u 90-im godinama prošlog vijeka

Basist benda Red Hot Chili Peppers gostovao je u radio showu benda Pearl Jam, kojeg je vodio Mike McCready na Sirius FM-u.

Tokom gostovanja, prisjetili su se starih vremena, početaka i zajedničkih svirki, te povukli paralalu između današnjeg i rocka iz 90-ih godina prošlog vijeka. Zbog autentičnosti, izjavu Flea prenosimo u cjelosti na engleskom jeziku:

“I just remember being so excited that we were playing with [Pearl Jam] and with Smashing Pumpkins, because it was just an exciting time for rock music. A lot of times, especially recently, I look at rock music as kind of a dead form in a lot of ways. Nothing to take away from us and [Pearl Jam], because obviously I believe we’re relevant bands that come with a real energy. But if you’re a kid today, and you get in a rock band, it’s like – when we were kids, when I said I want to be in a rock band and that’s what I’m doing for my life, that’s what I was going to do, no question. You’d get: ‘You are a fucking lunatic, you are crazy. You’re never going to get a decent job in your life. What are you doing? You’re ruining your life.’

I was like fuck it, I don’t care, this is what I want to do, this means everything to me, I found a home. I’ve been a weird, neurotic, loner kid all my life, I was always the kid you called fag in high school, punk rock gave me a home. But nowadays, you decide you want to be in a rock band it’s like, ‘Oh great, let’s get you an image consultant, and a lawyer, and a manager, and let’s see what we can do here. It’s a great money making opportunity for you junior.”

Čovjek je sve objasnio.
