Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer accused U2 and Black Eyed Peas of venality
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith criticized U2 and Black Eyed Peas for allowing their sound be in advertisements.
He said: “I’m fine with getting our music out to people but I don’t want to be on a TV commercial with some guy bowling and then music comes out of his phone. There’s no artistic credibility. I’d feel like a jerk if we did that. I think Black Eyed Peas look like a bunch of idiots. It’s dangerous.”
Then Chad added: “The U2 song on the iPod [Vertigo] when it came out was weird and it was longer and it had more parts. It’s dangerous to tie yourself in with a product and also the visuals that go along with it.”
Eventually he complained: “I think young people, not old guys like myself, think it’s normal now to have Led Zeppelin on jeans commercials. That’s not normal to me.”
