Nick Cave Addresses That Red Hot Chili Peppers Meme: ‘There Was No Malice Intended’


Nick Cave explains how his Red Hot Chili Peppers diss became a meme and how he and Flea have since become friends.

A couple of decades ago, Nick Cave offered his opinion of the state of music at the time in an interview, taking unexpected aim at another band. Flea would later collaborate with the singer-songwriter, helping the Bad Seeds frontman to assemble a youth choir for a 2013 appearance at Coachella and joined Cave and his right-hand man Warren Ellis for a performance of “We No Who U R” in Los Angeles in 2022. While on a European leg of the Wild God tour last fall, Cave told Rolling Stone how performing songs from the album felt more invigorating live than when he recorded them.
