The Red Hot Chili Peppers thread

[badapple81]

I love RHCP, but I didn't enjoy SA at all 

Maybe in the future I'll give it another listen.

I love RHCP and it took me about 3 listens to really love the album.



I'll listen CheapJon but I must say I never noticed.

yeah do that, of course i can be wrong too, but at least check it out

[Is he struggling?]

It's official. John has left... (again)

Rather a shame, if you ask me. He seems to have been their driving force these past ten years. Oh well, here's to more cracking solo records from Mr F!

[D]

WOW  sad day for me..... this sucks

[AdZ]

Can't they just finally break up now?

[CheapJon]

Can't they just finally break up now?

I hope not, why?

[D]

Why would one of the greatest bands of all time breakup?

Frusciante is damn near irreplaceable but I'll still support them no matter what

Buckethead tried out once... would be interesting if that happened again.

[AdZ]

The last two/three albums were soft pop rubbish and nothing like their old output? They've basically lost their fire and seem to do paint by numbers music, much like the Foo Fighters.

This clown is nothing without the Peppers! who in the hell is going to listen to JF music? The guy can't even really play the guitar anyway.

Maybe the dumbest thing I've ever read on one of these boards.

An artist makes music for people to hear - JF was able to do that in the Peppers. Without them he's just going to fade into history.

I have an opinion on music and if you don't like you can shove it up your ass.  Now please continue to quote me again and give me some more rolling eyes.

I don't agree on your definition of an artist, but alright that's your opinion, sorry for getting off topic but what's your opinion on Tom Morello and Zach de la Rocha? they could both gain far more attention if they'd just be RATM and record music as that band and tour but they're doing their own things instead (the nightwatchman and one day as a lion)

we will have to just disagree on the Chili's

By The Way is one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time and Stadium arcadium is right behind it.


Have u ever listened to the song off SA called "wet Sand"

my favorite non GNR song of the 21st century

Actually an artist makes music because he/she has to, its a part of them and they cant stop it. A true artist does not care whether their work is ever seen or heard by anyone but themselves, it just needs to be.

unless they get dave back in i have very little interest in the chili peppers now.

frusciante is one of the most amazing guitar players ever to have lived.

[tippasaurus]

Frusciante leaving was a long time coming; the disparity between the Chili Peppers stuff and John's solo stuff made that plainly obvious.  Here's to hoping that this means more years like 2004-2005 when JF released 6 albums!

the last time i saw them live they were lacking alot compared to previous shows, john just seemed distant and going through the motions.

I totally agree with you here. By The Way is totally underrated album and is often judged only by it's title track. If you go deeper and really listen to the music, you'll get it. Venice Queen, pure magic to me. And I also have great memories from the time I started liking this album And I could say the same about SA too, and it's also pretty deep and emotional album. John is simply a genious.
