Red Hot Chili Peppers

[thefixer9]

I like alot of the Chili Peppers music they are not one of my favorite bands. Like every two month I'll be in a Chili Peppers mode for a week and then I'll be over it. Not alot of their music really sticks to me.

Lover the Peppers but dont know much of their earlier stuff. Have only recently become a fan and bought their new album which I like very much. I hear die-hards dont like it much compared to their earleer stuff, but to a new fan like me it's great. Eventually I may get around to getting some of their eariler albums. If they come out hear later on in the year or early next year I'd consider going to see them.

You've got to get Mother's Milk... I would consider it an earlier album, and it is quite good.

MM is certainly one of their best...I especially like this song...

The Chili Peppers was my first love back in the late 80s until grunge came along. Faves are Uplift Mofo Party Plan and Mother's Milk. I try to get into their newer stuff, but it's the early stuff that still holds me.

IAlso, One Hot Minute should not be overlooked. I've said it before and I'll say it again, as a guitarist, I think Dave Navarro is quite underrated.

In my opinion, One Hot Minute was their last great album. I hated that Navarro wasn't a good enough fit to continue with the band because I just loved that album.

Anyone read Anthony's book "Scar Tissue"? Just wondering how it is, worth picking up?

Damn good book... Highly recommend..

[Attaway77]

"By The Way" is a great album from start to finish...., The Zephyr Song is a top favorite for sure...

There's alot of people that hate on it, but I think it's a masterpiece.

TEAR!!!!! just beautiful
Minor Thing

Really not a weak track on there and some different stuff for the Chilis.

Frusciante is a genius with the vocal harmonies on this one. Lotta cool guitar sounds and keys.

I agree, it is a masterpiece... Even the cover art of that album is fantastic.... Looking fwd to the show, hope I hear some Zephyr....

[Suziemay]

Really into Look Around right now. I can't wait to hear this live in less than 2 weeks

I miss John.

Stadium Arcadium is probably my favorite release of theirs, and likely one of my all-time favorite albums period. I don't care that it's late in their career. Some people think that it's not cool to like the newer stuff. I'm not one of them. I've listened to them since the days of Uplist Mofo, but never really connected with them as I did when John became such a force after rejoining the band. Sure, often times AK's lyrics are out of left field and really just an excuse to rhyme, but they're great songs.

6 years later and I can't tire of SA and BTW for that matter, too.

BSSM is such a classic bridge for them as it blended a bit of the early funk with the direction they wanted to head, but the production was weak. Likewise, as anthematic as Californicatoin is, I cannot stand the production. It's too hot and pops quite often.

Oh, and One Hot Minute should never have happened.

I saw them Saturday night in the Air Canada Centre. First show. Outstanding. They dont go through the motions at all. I didnt stop moving the entire show, and that is rare, even at PJ.

I like what I have heard from the new album. My favorite is Californication. The album is awesome beginning to end (no skippable songs), and brings me back to an amazing period of time.

Very impressive though, and like PJ, I didnt realize what RHCP's music meant to me until I saw them live. Cant wait to see the in Cleveland.

You can find their "What Hits!?" compilation for dirt cheap on amazon. It's a great way to get exposed to their early work

I am seeing them Monday in Boston and recently have been listening to their earlier stuff. Would love if they played songs like American Ghost Dance, The Brothers Cup, Catholic School Girls Rule, and Freaky Styley in concert. Sort of like Pearl Jam plays their early rarities only in this case, these are on their early albums. Some great stuff on those first 3 albums.

Yep, and so many deep cuts in between on each album are great as well. Can't wait till Monday night!

I caught them last night, and thought they were freaking amazing. Much better than I thought they were going to be, the jams were so tight and Josh was fantastic. To be honest I did not miss John Frusciante one bit, and he's one of my favourite guitarists.
