I'm relatively new to the world of rock music and the band that got me into it were the Red Hot Chili Peppers when I went to see them live with a friend who persuaded me it would be a good thing. It was. I love 'em. Only problem is I can't pronounce the lead singer's last name and I'd feel really stupid asking my friend. Kiedis. How the heck to you say that?

Oh and while I'm at it, the guitarist John Frusciante - you say that Froo-Shon-Tay, right? He rocks so hard! But I feel like such an ass asking these questions!

You're not an ass because of those questions. As a matter of fact I feel like an ass with my answers.

According to english pronunciation [keedes]. I think Frusciante's name you pronounce just correct.

Thanks for that. I was so confused when I saw Kiedis's name written down ... I was like 'What the hell!'. Have you ever seen the Chilis live? They are the shit!John's my favourite - I've fallen in love with him! I can't believe I hadn't been into them beofre and I'd liked some of their songs - Under The Bridge,Scar Tissue and By The Way and the obvious ones - and somehow never known who the heck they were (there's my ass-ness coming out again).
