The Red Hot Chili Peppers thread

[D]

Good album and I like it but for some reason It never grew on me as much as Californication.

i agree its like i said not easily digestible, but if u are just comin off a tragic event or mending from alot of pain, dude this cd is one of the greatest for that. also honestly i owned this cd for 6 months before i thought this way, for the first 6 months i liked maybe 6 songs, but i just started listening and reading the lyrics and totally relate and touched by every song,melody,riff,bass part. i guess everyone has their own cup of tea but a whole cd from start to finish hasnt got this deep inside me since the use your illusions and contrary to what people believe i think all 30 illusions songs are great. later!

You are right about the "going through a lot of pain"part!, back then I was going through that and was kinda nostalgic and whenever I hear by the way, it reminds me of that time, in a good way now. Every single cd the peppers have released since one hot minute has left a mark in my life.

i feel ya thats exaclty how i am, now i think back when i hear every song on by the way and smile now.also on californication, its hard to believe they are even the same band that use to play that crazy shit in the 80's, they have came along ass way!

[Hammy]

no offense but i think it's crap

no offense but i think it's crap

you are entitled to your opinion, i mean there are bands that some people rave about that i think are crap, so i respect your opinion. [ok]

[axls_locomotive]

yea i also think its a good album but i dont think its as good as Californication and certainly not as good as Blood Sugar Sex Magik...which for your information is next in my CD player  

[slash2001]

Its a quite good album but its no where near the greatest album ever.  Its not even the best chilis album, that honour definatly goes to Blood Sugar Sex Magic. Dark Side of The Moon for Greatest album ever i reckon!

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

"By the way" is great, By far the best pepper album! But one of the greatest I don't think so.

I don think it's a good album but, no there berst ever. I think there best ever is Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Also I don't think it's one of the best cd's ever.  [no] There are so many cd's that a better.  [ok]    

[Christos AG]

I think it's a great cd. I like it very much. Definitely not pop.

[Aava]

I love that cd! [ok]  Universally speaking is soooo awsome, yam!!!

Dark side of the moon is great, but its not the best. I think that the greatesy albums of all time are:

- Aerosmith - Rocks
- Stones - Exile on Main St.
- GNR - Apettite for Destruction
- Led Zeppelin - IV

Speaking of By the Way, I dont like their music, and didnt like their singles, but I have to agree that Tear and Dosed are fuckin awesome, and that the rhythm guitar in Zephyr Song is great too  [ok]

[BurningHills]

In my opinion.....

This cd fucking blows. I got it for free and still couldn't even stand it. Californication sucked pretty badly too. I've since either traded/sold Californication and By The Way for much much better cds. The Chili Peppers have been all downhill for a while now, and they're not getting any better.

I love it!!!!!! Excellant cd.....but to be honest , RHCP can do no wrong with me [ok] I have seen them a couple of times and they put on one of the most"REAL" shows........forever rock on RHCP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[R4tfink]

Ive heard about 6 or 7 tracks and i just cant get into it, i dunno maybe its because they are grossly overplayed these days....

I used to like the Chillis before they didnt get laods of airplay because they didnt play to what the audience wanted, they played what the fuck they wanted....

Now though...they are too muck pop-rock(i hate genres) as apposed to Funk-Rock.

Knock me down is like one of their best songs....


Oh well.

[Mysteron]

if u havent listened to the entire red hot chili peppers by the way cd u are missin out on some of the greatest music ever. tracks 1 thru 16 are amazing, now this album isnt an easy digestible piece of work, takes some listens to fully appreciate it, by the way is probably one of the three worst songs on the cd there is no filler on this,
1.by the way nice opening track im sure u have heard
2.universally speaking single over seas right now, great song
3.this is the place
4.dosed unreal fuckin song, great shit here on the radio now
5.dont forget me, u have to hear this slow rocker, great shit
6.zephyr song, sure u have heard this one
7.cant stop once again big hit sure u have heard it
8. i could die 4 u, nother great love tune
9.midnight: should b a single its that great
10.throw away your television, chili rocker
11.cabron little latin thing going on great song
12. tear best song on cd should b a single very powerful
13.on mercury weird song but great after some listens
14.minor thing excellent sing along song
15 warm tape very trippy psychadelic sort of number
16 venice queen, great love song

the cd is full of slow melodic beautiful love songs, great traveling cd, u can put it in and not skip a track. stayed in my cd player for 3 weeks str8 b4 i took it out, un fuckin real cd, u are missin out if u dont listen to this great cd. feedback if u have heard it!

It is a very good album, but I prefer their earlier stuff. Alot more raw and energetic

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have recorded 15 brand new songs while working on their upcoming greatest hits album.

A few of the 15 new tracks will show up on Greatest Hits, due out November 11th. It is unknown what will happen to the rest of the new material. The band worked with producer Rick Rubin on the new tracks.

Bassist Flea said the following:

"We played a wide variety of music arranged into song format that is among the most diverse and dynamic good feeling s*** we have ever done. It is the fastest we have ever recorded so much material ... I can't wait for y'all to hear it."

What do you guys think  will become of the rest of the songs?

[Eazy E]

I think they should scrap the Greatest Hits deal, see if they can write a few more songs with the groove they have going right now, and then pump out another CD.

I hate when bands put out Greatest Hits albums, especially when they throw on extra tracks assuming that they are going to be special songs from the band.  To me a greatest hits package should come at the end of a band's life and not as some contract obligation or quick buck.

So I hope they decide to release a full length album and tour again.  I'm sure D will have some comments on these songs.

The RHCP are the oddest group..they have done some great stuff....yet at the same time done album after album of tedious rubbish....Californication was class, what went wrong with By the way???
