Gang of Four reveal Chilli's admission
"Red Hot Chilli Peppers based their career on ours".
Gang of Four guitarist Andy Gill has revealed how Chilli Pepper's bassist Flea ran into him at a party and confessed he was surprised that the band had never sued.
Gill told The Metro, "The Red Hot Chili Peppers have obviously based their career on Gang of Four and they'd admit that. The guitar on their single 'Can't Stop' was directly from one of our early songs and when I heard it I thought, 'That's going a bit far.'"
