Andy Gill: “Chili Peppers based career on us”
As per a couple of different news sources – Andy Gill, producer and Gang of Four member, claims that the Red Hot Chili Peppers based their career on his band’s career. Moreover, he claims that Can’t Stop is more or less plagiarism.
“The guitar on their single ‘Can’t Stop’ was directly from one of our early songs and when I heard it I thought ‘that’s going a bit far’. I bumped into their bass player, Flea, a few years back at a party and he said, ‘Andy, I just don’t understand why you’ve never sued us’.”
He also reflected on the famous turd in the pizza box incident during the recording of the band’s maiden album. If you’re interested in that, you can read further, this news item contains only what’s relevant to John.
