I think Chris Cornell is the most overrated frontman maybe EVER.


This was mypoint with Kiedis

Id much rather listen to Anthony Sing a million times over Cornell.

Technically Cornell may have the better voice whatever that means but I cant listen to that guy at all. He to me is so boring and redundant

[Neemo]

funny as this may be for being a gnr fan....i cant stand how Cornhole screams...grates on my nerves...same with Brian Johnson of AC/DC

but this is a RHCP thread so sorry for draggin it off topic.. Kiedis is a great frontman

Id much rather listen to Anthony Sing a million times over Cornell.

ditto

Technically Cornell may have the better voice whatever that means but I cant listen to that guy at all. He to me is so boring and redundant

i dont think its necessarily technical (I dont know the singing backgroud of either of them so i couldnt comment really)...Cornell is just louder and more powerful But Anthony has a much better voice IMO...

also i'm glad to see he's back to his 90's look i hated the mohawk and the yellow mop

Correction:

All the Bsides are now excellent.

First time through I didnt care too much for them but now they are all awesome.


Funny face, Ill Be your Domino, Mercy Mercy, Million miles of water, Lately and A Certain Someone are all great songs that I wish would've made it on Stadium ARcadium. They should've had a 3 disc set.

[Alan]

i remember an interview with john in which he said he wanted to do a 3 disc thing, dno why it didn't happen.

[WhiteRose]

It sounds as though the Chili Peppers will be performing at this year's Coachella Valley Music Festival, along with Rage Against the Machine, Bjork and others.

Here is the new video for "Desecration Smile"

Very simplistic but I love it!

4 grammys tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nateinthehon]

I saw them last night at The Allstate, and I was blown away. I saw them 4 years ago and thought they were good, but this blew that out of the water. John Frusiante tore that place up. I know he gets credit as being a "new" guitar god and whatnot, but I think he should be in the same breath as any great guitar player. Even moreso live, he just fucking rocked.

They opened with Can't Stop and went into some newer stuff. They did alot of extened jams in the songs which was awesome. They palyed a few oldies like Blood Sugar Sex Magic and a bigger suprise was Me and My Friends, which Flea introduced with a wierd strory about being in Mexico 20 years ago. They played mostly By the Way and Stadium Arcadium tracks, except for the two I mentioned and Give It Away, Scar Tissure and Californication. The Crowd was TOTALLY jacked, which makes a concert that much better.

At then end of Give it away, ANthony said goodnight, and the other 3 did like a badass 10 minute outro jam.

Ive seen tons of shows from The Stones(5xs) to Petty to GNR to radio station fests to indie rock bands in small clubs to Lollapaloozas to Farm Aids.. probably 50-100 shows with hundereds of bands in probably 30 different venues....and I can instantly say this was one of the top 5 shows I have seen...it was fucking phenominal

[Jimmy?]

Sounds good although I've never really taken to them much. By the sounds of it they are better live.

[D]

I saw them in Atlanta last year and I agree 100 percent with what u said. They were AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[nateinthehon]

Yes..another song I wasnt sure which album it was from was I Could Have Lied....they did as an encore from BSSM.

Another cool solo was when Frusiante sang will you still love me tommorow.

[Gunner80]

I'm still kickin' myself for not going to the Denver show last August.

D, how are you getting the B-sides??

Is there any other way to get them other than having to buy the singles, and different versions of each single at that with diff. B-Sides.

This album is now one of my all-time favorites right up their with AFD!

Frusciante is now my #2 fav guitartist behind only Slash.

[D]

I buy them off walmart.com for 88 cents each.

[Rocksteady]

After getting my copy of SA today(finally) I must say that it's an awesome album  2CD's and basically no "filler".  A great buy 

[CheapJon]

Listen to "strip my mind" and "make you feel better"



you hear it too right?

HUH?

HUH?

i just think that the guitar in the beginning sounds almost the same just different speed or how to say.. or maybe even the speed it the same but the drums on MYFB makes it sound faster.. listen to just the intros..

(now i could be wrong of course, but i've thought about this for a while )

The cover of Ramones' 'Havana Affair' sounds so much better than the original tune and is my favorite song at the time.
