The Red Hot Chili Peppers thread

[mrlee]

ok, just listened to the song "around the world" i hadnt heard the album it was off because i dont really like anything they have done since 1991. however that song was really good, it was like, funky pychadelic rock. chorus is trippy as hell.

anyhow i got the album its off. and why the hell dont they continue off that great theme. The other tracks suck in comparison to it.

anyone else feel the same?

[banachkevin]

Anyone heard Wet Sand?

I can so imagine Finck playing that last solo.

What? FInck couldnt make up a solo that heartfelt and emotional

Please never mention Finck in the same breath as a true guitar god like John Frusciante


Goin to see Them Oct 26th in Atlanta, cant wait!

Hardly... I dont think Finck is a guitar god by any means, but nither is John. That guy has the most annoying tone to his guitar... when I went to see em at The Forum it was apparent that RHCP is Flea and Anthony... I never saw anything special in John.

Especally on Stadium Arcadium... he trys to shred on some of the songs and it sounds terrible.

There hasn't been a popular guitar god in years..

[WeHeldTogether]

i was at the same show you were at, Jack, and he sounded amazing.  He really knows how to improvise live and play with soul, akin to hendrix.

I guess it's just opinion. I really can't stand the tone or the way he plays. But my friend who loves RHCP swears by him..

But guitar god? Do you share that opinion? I think that even if you like him.. its an overstatement.. but tell me otherwise. What do you think?

[WeHeldTogether]

i dont think there's really been a "guitar god" in a while. i mean a lot of people point to people like joe satriani and steve vai but i really see nothing special in guitarists like them.  john frusciante is probably one of the best guitarists playing, but i wouldn't call him godly like Hendrix or someone like that, because it just doesnt' compare.

What I meant was the sound to it. It definitely sounds like something Finck would write...take TWAT and his November Rain solo for instance.

Under the Bridge is one of the greatest pieces of Guitar music ever written dont forget that. That riff cant be denied.

Have u heard the Riff of the song off S.A. called Snow?

That is one of the best riffs I've heard in quite awhile.



Im not tryin to diss Finck but one thing that really turns me off about the New GNR is the fans...... Chinese Democracy hasnt even been released but u have people on here with the audacity to even try and compare Finck to someone like Slash.

Finck may be Jimi Hendrix on steroids but until I hear Chinese Democracy and until he creates something that stands the test of time, U just cant mention Finck in the same breath as Slash or Frusiciante or anyone else for that matter.

I dont care how well he plays Cover songs

"Better" has potential but still,people get way too far ahead of themselves......... Finck gets an incomplete cause we dont have enough to truly critique him on yet.



John Frusiciante's shredding at the end of "Turn It Again" is fantastic by the way.

His Scar Tissue solo is great, his guitar work in general is great.

Hes a good guitarist.. with some memorible riffs. And yeah I've heard Snow.

I guess I'm just not a fan of his.

And I certainly wouldn't mention him in the same breath as Slash.

As for Finck.. I'm not a hater.. but I'm no fan. His playing seems sloppy to me... and it seems like hes pushing to hard or something... Either way, your right.. We'll find out when CD is released.

Each to his own RHCP fans.. I respect your John love.

Dont get me wrong Jack

Frusciante is not in Slash's league, I wasnt implyin that at all.


slash is the greatest guitarist of my lifetime

Hillell do u ha ve anymore B Sides that came out on the Tell me Baby single?

[crazycheryl]

Just want to let you folks know I saw the chili peppers at lollapolooza this summer and they kicked ass! The music was great, the sound was great and they truly put on a most excellent show! I have the new double CD and actually almost all of the songs are better than Dani California.

You will see an awesome show!

[metallex78]

Has anyone else noticed how much Robin Finck and John Frusciante look alike these days?

[CAFC Nick]

Just to confirm, I wasn't comparing Frusciante and Finck AT ALL.

I was saying, that ONE BLIMMING SOLO, at the end of ONE BLIMMING SONG, sounded VAGUELY like something Finck would play! Jeez
