I've Never Had A Greater Desire To Crush A Musician's Heart...

I usually avoid poking fun of musicians on here, but sometimes every now and again one says something so stupid (think Morrisey saying genocide is not as bad as killing seals) that I have to say something...

From www.redhotchilipeppers.com:

if you down load it now off one of these file sharing sites
you will be getting a pale imitation of the record
it will be of the poor sound quality of the technique they used to get it on there
and that will break my heart
it will break john frusciante's heart
it will break anthony kiedis's heart
and it will break the heart of chad smith

Wow. I never wanted to break a musician's heart so badly in my life. I question if RHCP REALLY believe in this record. I mean, hearing it on the Internet would make people want to buy it if it was as amazing as Flea makes it out to be, right? I mean, it's a rehashed MP3 debate. Have some fucking confidence in your music. Hearing it early shouldn't be considered an economic deterrent...well, unless the record sucks.
