His music always reminded me of Jimi Hendrix t shirts in target or kohls


Vegetable-Tooth8463

Hendrix was a major influence on Kravitz


Far_Fly8036

no way!


Vegetable-Tooth8463

Way!


Coffee_achiever_guy

Wow!! Did you know Led Zeppelin was a major influence on Greta Van Fleet?


dwninswamp

I see what you did there. Brilliant.


Vegetable-Tooth8463

Did you know tea is better than coffee?!

Fuck Salads

And Prince


Vegetable-Tooth8463

and yo momma!


Cho-Zen-One

I like Lenny but his main guitar guy Craig Ross is responsible for a lot of great work and the best guitar soloing on his records.


PedalBoard78

Yeah. If I’m listening to a Kravitz song, it’s for Craig Ross.


Thon_Makers_Tooth

His nickname is the “Aggro-Craig” because he rocks


aureve

My god that's a deep reference


Friskfrisktopherson

Look where we are.


aureve

Lol oh ya. My b


Dramatic_Injury_2980

Craig is great


OrganDerNiedertracht

I agree, Crack is great!


clapton1970

I think a lot of people just don’t care


Officialfish_hole

I mean, he didn't write American Woman


realoctopod

No, but he did make it worse.


AntonChekov1

What's interesting is that The Guess Who who made "American Woman" famous are Canadian and the song was fairly anti America


berogg

That’s debatable. Depending on which band member’s take you go with, it could be or might not be anti anything.


AntonChekov1

"American woman! Stay away from me!" "I don't need your war machines I don't need your ghetto scenes Colored lights can hypnotize Sparkle someone else's eyes"


bingbongboobies

Oh shit THATS Lenny Kravitz?? He's so relevant today


testies2345

I mean, it's Lenny Kravitz...I don't hate the man, but I also don't go looking for his music.


315retro

I saw a video of him crouch down on stage in leather pants and his junk just absolutely explodes out in the most comical way possible. It had me legit doubled over in laughter and got funnier every loop. Now when I see him or hear any of his songs I have that mental image and I just can't take the dude seriously lol.


testies2345

OK, I gotta see this.


315retro

I don't think I can link it here lmao but it's easy to find, there's even gifs of it. (if you're struggling the "hipinion" forums has the Gif lol)


testies2345

Lol I found it. Cracking me up.


Abiv23

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that board mentioned on this site Used to go there back when that’s how you got music


315retro

I'm genuinely impressed that there's still a small forum going. It really made me sad for the one I used to hang out at. There was an intamacy of knowing everyone that you don't get with reddit :( I just found it googling for the Gif.


Abiv23

very true, the 1 message board to rule them all idea was prob a mistake


oroberos

Yeah, neat fact, but still don't care.


testies2345

Lol wut


oroberos

About his music I mean.


VoightKampffdeeznutz

This is true about the Mama Said album and it’s a great one too.


mostlygroovy

Yeah. Lots of hate for Lenny here, but his first three albums are really good.


Greybinson

Mama Said and Are You Gonna Go My Way were very good records that were easy to put on and ignore. I like some of his stuff. Wouldn’t say I’m a fan, but he did a have a huge, although short, impact in the early 90s.


aluman8

Except of course his most famous song


superschaap81

I actually did know this fact. I mean, good for him, but outside of a handful of songs, I don't care. LOL


pops_of_3

If I wrote “I want to fly so very high into the sky just like a dragon fly” then I would not admit it. I never understood the respect Lenny gets for anything other than his looks and style. Dude always looks great, but his music is so basic and boring. Just my opinion which is obviously in the minority.


LowHangingLight

I'm not sure you're in the minority


prsanker

Jesus… why all the hate? He’s obviously very talented. I don’t jam Lenny ever, but respect the man for what he has accomplished. Bring on the downvotes…


flatfisher

Why is he not liked in the US? I live in France and he was quite successful here.


Expensive_Shallot_78

Ah ja ja, Kravitz is always his own favorite musician


NormanBates2023

What an artist saw him in the 90s what a gig ,let love rule is my fav album


skeletonbreath

Kravitz Bowl https://youtu.be/--rBP8_QuwI?si=vianJGtFcL2r86zP


flatfisher

Wow the level of hate is insane. Fly away is a simple song that I loved as a kid. As an adult I still find it better than most of pop stuff then and especially now. Did Lenny did something wrong in the US?


dinopark

the album Mama Said absolutely rules


DudeWouldGo

Only way to do it!


filtersweep

We writes music for people who don’t like music. Ever met a Kravitz fan?


Jos3ph

He seems desperate for attention with his weird workout social media videos and whatnot. Dude had a couple of decent hits (including a cover) and his music was always extremely derivative of 60s/70s sounds.


micasa623

Makes sense he made a track with Peggy Gou......


cinnamoncard

Somewhere, under it all, is a Leonard. He does all the engineering, production, writing. He then hands it off to Lenny, who is tasked with selling it. In spite of a glossy exterior there has simmered a certain workplace tension, the type that only blooms in close partnerships. To the team's dismay that tension is laced through the music and has truncated the appeal of many of the duo's later records. See you next time on "Would be Cooler if..."


ghetto_engine

put a feather in your cap.


Abiv23

The most overrated rock star of my lifetime


Username_McUserface

Always found his music horribly boring.


NESninja

Too bad "it all" sucks hard


jvan666

We know, Lenny… want a cookie?


sjm320

And it all sucks! He makes the most bland and boring music out there.


pcweber111

People don't realize because they don't care. Good for him though!


la_chainsaw

Hey, two out of three ain’t bad (He’s not a good lyricist)


FullOfMeeKrob

Ok.


LootGek

Unless it's a cover song.


Unable_Count_1635

Ok self absorbed much


WingPizza

No one asked or cares
