The Red Hot Chili Peppers thread

[CheapJon]

ive given the later albums a go. i only find i like the odd song. its just far too mellow or poppy for me.

I liked the raw funk edge mixed with rock and metal that the band used to do. N for me thats their pull point. Their other stuff doesnt interest me. I appreciate them trying other things, but they didnt go in a direction that appeals to me personally.

to me it's kinda the other way around, i like a lot of the funky/rocky songs but for me it's in the mellow sweet songs where they shine the most for me

[Butch Français]

next album out in 2011, and it will be one sweet album!

[Butch Français]

they started the final recordings for the album about a couple of weeks ago now. should be out by spring.

By The Way is an amazing album. Still don't get tired of that one.

i'm not that excited, unless i missed something and frusciante is back.

i just can't see them being anywhere near as good without him.

No, I think John is gone for good this time.  The upside is that John had been "mentoring" Josh Klinghoffer to be his replacement for the last 5 or so years, so if anyone can take over adequately, it would be Josh.

I just hope they keep taking the band in new directions musically. Honestly I thought they had exhausted the whole punk/funk thing.

I just hope they go back to funkier music. Rather than the poppy rock style theyve done the last 10 years...it seriously is lacking in the funk.

Funk is dead, as dead as disco.

Thats why alot of pop artists right now are doing disco influenced tracks....

Then again im talking from the British market perspective.

As for a genre being dead. Well hey, the Peppers formed in a decade when funk was dead. So there is no difference,only this time they already have a huge fanbase. Whoever gave a fuck about whats "in" anyway.

People tell me glam is dead all the time yet more n more bands come out playing it giving us new releases. Whether you choose to listen or not is your choice. But the option is there. I want some funk.

My band plays funk. So fuck what people say!

[mrlee]

Did anyone check out Fleas contributions to the new Bryan Ferry album?

on the DVD edition they have footage of Flea recording n workin with Ferry also.

funk never dies, just like rock.

delay on the album btw, will be out earliest in late 2011. as i see it, probably in 2012.
good thing is that the delay is because they have their creative juices running so high that they can't stop creating and recording songs.
they will have a massive amount of tunes to pick from for their next album.

By Paul Cashmere


Yesterday, Red Hot Hot Peppers bass player Flea announced the title of the next album for the band would be called 'I'm With You'. Today, the band's publicist has released the first official press release about the record.

Instead of dissecting the announce, Undercover would rather break the rules and give you all the news.

So here it is, the first official presser for the Red Hot Chili Peppers 'I'm With You' album:

June 6, 2011 - Los Angeles - Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers will release their upcoming tenth studio album, I'm With You, on Warner Bros.

The album was mixed by Andrew Scheps and Greg Fidelman.

I'm With You is the band's first new album since the two-set Stadium Arcadium, which debuted at Number One in 28 countries around the world, including the U.S.- their first Number One album on the Los Angeles quartet's home turf. The album spawned three Number One Modern Rock hits: "Dani California" (which spent 14 weeks at No. 1 and is one of three songs in the history of Billboard's Alternative Chart to debut at No. 1), "Tell Me Baby," and "Snow (Hey Oh)." To support Stadium Arcadium, the Chili Peppers played to millions of fans around the world throughout 2007, including sold-out arena tours of Europe and North America, appearances at the Fuji Festival in Japan and Live Earth in London, and headlining slots at Lollapalooza in Chicago, and the Leeds and Reading Festivals in the U.K.

One of the most successful acts in rock history, Red Hot Chili Peppers have sold more than 60 million albums, including five multi-platinum LPs, and won six Grammy Awards, including "Best Rock Album" for Stadium Arcadium, "Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group" for "Dani California, "Best Rock Song" for "Scar Tissue," and "Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal" for "Give It Away." The band holds the record for the most No. 1 singles of all time at Alternative radio, a total of 11, and a combined 81 weeks at No. 1.
