Some people have a less than fuzzy feeling towards the Red Hot Chili Peppers. More people have a less than fuzzy feeling for Fox News. Now, the two organizations are playing the feud after host Greg Gutfeld said the band was the worst in the universe.
Originally, Gutfeld said when bassist Flea had a jam session with Koko the Gorilla, it was “a vast improvement over the Red Hot Chili Peppers” Afterward he “apologized” by saying the Peppers were “the worst band on the planet.”

Why does Gutfeld hate this band so? We’ll let him explain it:
“I want to explain that we live in a binary universe. You’re either a Faith No More fan, or a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. You cannot love Mike Patton and Anthony Kiedis, because they are two different people. You have to love Mike Patton, you cannot love Anthony Kiedis. So that is why the Red Hot Chili Peppers are the worst band in the universe, because Faith No More is the greatest band in the universe.”
That’s a… weird distinction to have to make. I think it’s possible to like both bands if you want, because the human experience is a varied and diverse one. This isn’t like living in New York and having to choose between the Yankees and the Mets. It’s music.
Neither Anthony Kiedis or Faith No More’s Mike Patton have commented on the statement, so we’ll just have to assume they’re currently planning some kind of joint concert to raise awareness about how it’s cool to like both bands (or dislike both bands if you want).
So this is officially the weirdest and stupidest feud there is going right now, but at least it will take Fox News away from being Donald Trump’s backscratcher for a few minutes.
