AboutFilip Ivkovic Expertise I can answer a lot of answers regarding the members, mainly John Frusciante and Flea. Also I can answer to some technical questions regarding the type of playing or equipment since I play bass and guitar. I can't answer to questions about tour or their address' since I'm not from the USA. I also can't answer to all questions about lyrics, for that I recommend some other expert in this area.
Experience I've been listening RHCP all my life. They're the reason I started playing and listening to rock. I've read every article I could reed about them, saw every dvd I was able to get. I have all of their albums, dvds, and a large number of B sides.
Education/Credentials Currently, I'm studying English in philological high school in Belgrade, Serbia. I've been playing guitar for a year now and bass for six months. I use my spare time to play in a RHCP tribute band. Hope I'll be as good as them if I keep practicing.
Awards and Honors I'm honored to be a Red Hot Chili Peppers expert and to have such a great band to admire.
Question I read in Scar Tissue that Buckethead came to the audition for RHCP guitarist, but it doesn't say why he wasn't accepted. My friend is a huge fan of buckethead, and we always argue about who's better the Peppers or Buckethead, so i want to know why he wasn't accepted? unapred hvala, thank you...
Answer Hey there,
Sorry for keeping you wait, I was busy.
I had to look up on internet to find the answer. Apparently, as Flea once said, Buckethead came to the audition without knowing any of the Peppers songs. As Flea says, he showed quite good technique, but had no soul or groove that was necessary for the Peppers.
Hope I helped, hvala na pitanju,
Filip
