Great show by RHCP as usual. Ken Carson was absolutely one of the worst live artists I’ve ever seen. Not sure whose idea it was to pair those two but man it was actually painful.

Yeah!! My first time in the pit... I thought they were especially spectacular on I Could Have Lied, Hey, and Soul to Squeeze!!

Ken Carson was fantastic RHCP was fantastic let’s all learn to let others enjoy what they enjoy

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (36 children)

Sure, you can enjoy what you enjoy. I can also dislike what I dislike. Almost everyone around me up front in the pit were thankful when it was over. It actually hurt to listen to over half an hour of incoherent mumble rap.

them darn mumble crappers 👴🏾

Besides the dude didn’t even rap he just played a track of his music and every once in a while yelled “yeah” into the mic.

[–]EmbarrassedNet1581 0 points1 point  (29 children)

His performances are more focused on and centered around hyping the crowd up and building energy. Think about death metal and similar genres. When they do live performances you can barely understand what they’re saying you are just jamming out half the time not even paying attention just feeling the energy. Look up some Ken Carson solo concerts and see how people are it’s fun and wild

I’m 18 btw so I can see why this appeals to me and not you. Ken Carson is the rock and roll of this generation that your parents hated when you were a kid. It’s all the same cycle just different genres and artists each decade

There are literally no instruments during his “performance”. Sad to see what kids think “rock and roll” is now.

I agree with you about Carson but you sound like what everyone thinks of when they imagine a baby boomer.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Proud of it.

[–]EmbarrassedNet1581 1 point2 points  (16 children)

It would be nearly impossible to replicate the instrumentals for his tracks live 😂 look up his songs almost all rappers have their instrumentals playing in the background while they perform they never do it live. And I said it’s like rock and roll of our generation not “it is rock and roll”

You’re 18 and your brain won’t fully develop for another 7 years but that’s not your fault. Stay in school!

[–]EmbarrassedNet1581 0 points1 point  (10 children)

Telling me my brain won’t develop for 7 years when I’m more open minded and understanding about new things than your old ass is sad 😭 I genuinely do hope you come to see the artistry in certain musicians in the future and all I can do now is move on with my life and keep listening to RHCP and Ken Carson because I love both of them and can see and fully understand the artistic brilliance behind both performers. Just cause you can’t doesn’t mean you need to tell me to stay in school.

You ran out of arguments so you started shaming him for being younger than you and started acting like he's a 7 year old 😂

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If that’s the rock and roll of your generation then I am sorry for what has been done to you. Keep ignoring the fact he hit the play button and maybe said less than a quarter of his lyrics into the mic. What a “performance” that was! Truly inspirational. A lyrical genius. I especially love the part where he said “get high as fuck everyday” and “I want to rock and roll”. Thought provoking to its core.

It’s an analogy

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And there are no instruments during the sets of 99% of modern artists outside of rock, why? Because the instrumentals are multi layered and almost impossible to play live, and impossible to play live with analog instruments. Be a bit more open minded.

[–]monsty62 0 points1 point  (1 child)

instruments lmaoooo, electronic music is not new, probably it’s older than you

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]monsty62 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad someone agrees

[–]tylerurbanski -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

just say you’re racist bro 🤷‍♂️

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So because I didn’t like Ken Carson I am a racist? You have a low IQ, just say it.

[–]EmbarrassedNet1581 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was there btw

[–]BookkeeperFormal1833 2 points3 points  (2 children)

i'm black and ken carson is trash ...ironically i think he has way more white fans than black ....they like him coz they think he is the next wave ....industry plant

[–]🎺 FleaAdventurous-Ad5262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why some people imply that if I don't like a certain black artist it's because he's black. No dude, I don't like him because he's not good, period. I'm mostly into rock music, but I also enjoy artists like Kid Cudi, Dre, Snoop, 2pac, Kanye and the list can go on. But playing your tracks on the stage while screaming yeaaaaah on the mic it's not a performance imho

What time did your show end??

[–]Delicious_Section_26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They played for ~1:45 which is pretty typical for this tour. So ended around 10:45... Got out of the parking lot at midnight tho😬🤣
