I wanted to play with contradiction: a waltz that feels like it’s driving forward, something elegant but uncomfortable.”…

Former Red Hot Chili Peppers producer Michael Beinhorn has claimed that vocalist Anthony Kiedis is effectively tone deaf, describing the issue as a genuine difficulty with hearing pitch rather than a stylistic choice. Beinhorn made the remarks during a recent Reddit AMA, responding to a fan who praised “Knock Me Down”, the second single from the band’s 1989 album Mother’s Milk. The fan also asked why guitarist John Frusciante handled much of the song’s vocal presence and whether the track — written as a tribute to late guitarist Hillel Slovak — had alternate versions. According to Beinhorn, Frusciante’s vocal prominence…
