Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis revealed in an interview last week that the band borrowed some chords from Elton John’s “Bennie and The Jets” for their tune “Sick Love”.  The band also ended up getting Elton to make a guest appearance on the track after calling to ask his permission to use the chords. Kudos to the Peppers for coming out and saying that! Do you think this reflects badly on the Chili Peppers and their own lack of original ideas? Or is true that artists “rip each other off” all the time?
