one year hiatus
shame its not longer
worst live band i've ever seen (luckily it was free, hence why I was there in the first place)
One year hiatus?
Isn't that... like... what all bands go on just after they've released an album and/or finished a tour?
yes.
why would you bother celebrating?
surely if you don't like them, it affects you in no way?
i did
but then they turned shit so if they broke up i could live more happily with the good memories (like seeing them headline my first festival) without them twating about ruining it all by releasing more awful albums
meh
whatever... still stupid
^ wrong
^wrong
FIGHT!
!!!
SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU BUNCH OF INDIE CUNTS
GET WITH DA FUNK
Hopefully it'll mean frusciante and flea can go off and do more good solo stuff. RHCPs last album was completely terrible but the rest of their stuff is all brilliant, so SHUT UP
what im saying issssssss
that they were good but now they aren't (live or on cd) so perhaps it would be good if they called it a day because then they wouldn't go on being awful and pissing all over their history
i kinda respect you
for sticking to your guns on this one.
I bet you havn't heard an RHCP album the whole way through.
Either that or you have a small willy and can't enjoy DA FUNK
i used to have Californication
i gave it to a 50 year old woman in my office.
She has better taste than you.
Maybe.
I bet he tastes better than her.
ewwww
seriously though, "I Like Dirt" has to be one of the worst songs I've ever heard.
:D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxybXTTbX_8&feature=related
HAHA!
That's brilliant!
Those are some seriously weak rhymes
but I still liked it.
I can enjoy Da funk...
it's one of Daft Punk's best singles.
I dispise both of Red Hot Chilli Peppers' songs, though. The one that goes *chung chung, dugga dugga* with Anthony Kiedis grunting over it, and the one where he decides to show us his sensitive side.
Have you seen them live though?
They're truly shit. My first ever big gig disappointment! :(
My nephew really wanted to see them, but I refused to take him lest it tainted his views against live music forever.
Yeah :(
It was my first gig and in retrospect they were rubbish, but i;ve somehow managed to convince myself they were alright because they were my favourite band for about 3 years leading up to it. I was 14 and it was at murrayfield stadium. We were sitting at the opposite end of the stadium, could hardly see them and the sound was terrible.
That says, I've got the Off The Map dvd and they're brilliant in it. Frusciante has "orgasm guitar face" on about 60% of the time.
Oh and they all have mohawks
Fuck yeah
This just proves that you're a moron.
A band isn't a good band if they're rubbish live.
^ this
fact.
There can be other factors though
like watching them from the other end of a massive outdoor rugby stadium with awful sound that is windblown and so on. This could make an awesome band appear gash, whereas if you saw them in a wee club venue they could be phenomenal. And RHCP (I think they've gotten gash of late personally, and have never seen them live except on telly) all seem to be fantastically talented musicians, so I'd be surprised if they sucked total balls playing at King Tuts or something.
That said, if they're touring they should make sure the people who come to the shows they actually play have a good time and can hear it well, so bad work them.
</rant>
^this
ridiculous
bollocks.
it looks like I'm disagreeing with the wrong thing now. Oh well.
they were good at leeds '99
i'm sure of it - but nothing they did after californication and that tour did anything for me
YOU shutup you idiot
RHCP are complete shit and always have been.
"GET WITH DA FUNK"
Seriously, you didn't mean that right? Right?!
No
some clever 'Can't Stop' reference
CAN'T STOP PREDICTING TO THE SHINDIG
actually wait
Dave Navarro is back and they're given up yoga for drugs. The glorious lightbulb days are back!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoUqSPQQuW4
Anyone remember watching this on BBC2 highlights tv? Green Day were also on it.
nine inch nails were a bit good at that
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-y8UUdr5kA
and james hetfield still had his awesome mullet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkzXLt5z128
but best knucklehead mosh pit=

Les Claypool is one brilliantly odd man.
so much :D at the slap bass solo
Jesus sodding christ that's amazing.
I feel like I'm watching The Residents
Thank fuck for that
is there any way we can delete their entire back catalogue apart from Aeroplane?
Flea is just about the only tolerable one as he once played bass for FEAR.
INDIECUNT
Aeroplane...
Despicable! Navarro can suck my fat one, WORST ROCKSTAR EVER
Yeah I've never really got him
that one janes addiction album i've got was brilliant though, so whatever. One hot minute has a lot of good RHCP songs on it, but they'll never be "classics" without frusciante or slovak
My dislike of Navarro
stems mainly from the video for Friends. It's so bad, RHCP look proper pseudo-gayed out, even Chad! To be fair I don't think he ever gave a toss as long as there was cold beer in the cooler
Navarro rules
He sleeps in a coffin. You wouldn't catch him doing yoga.
Yoga RULEZ
get bendy and shit, be able to beat your friends at limbo, and...Erm I dunno what else, oh yeah have EXCELLENT balance.
YOU MEAN BEST
His solos could not be cheesier.
lets hope so
stadium arcadium is dire
we can only hope.
*crosses fingers*
If I ever get a DJ set
i'm going to play a song from every RHCP album and you will all GO NUTS FOR IT
depends how drunk
and deaf I was feeling :P
Meh
It would be naatheeng compared to my 'Best Of Fishbone' dj set. Naatheeng.
WOOOOOOOOO!
BRILLIANT! YEAH!:D
did anyone else
see them at reading the other year, that was a feat of endurance.
they need to go and take drugs for a year, but they wont.
hell go and meet the dali laama or something gay
lmao this is a brilliant post
I wish people like this posted more.
mediocre
Faith No More > RHCP
Best news
I'v heard all day!
if
scar tissue hadent formed the basis of my early teenage years id raise my pint to this.
but of course im not old enough to drink so i wont be raising anything.
RHCP :(
No
It's just NME with their 'catchy but completely misleading headling" schtick:
http://www.nme.com/news/red-hot-chili-peppers/36802
Twats.
NME, that is, not RHCP
They don't excite me especially but I have nowt against them.
Ugh you're all such bores
"Oh yeah this is brilliant"
Shut up. It shouldn't affect you if you don't like them. Stop being a stupid cunt.
I'd have imagined
RHCP fans were up there with Oasis and Coldplay in terms of having to learn to deal with not everyone loving their favourite band.
Oh shut up
Freaky Styley is awful
ADMIT IT
No it's not
it's probably their best "early one"
Ner
the best songs are the covers! And Catholic School Girls Rule is possibly the weakest attempt at a punk song ever.
It's not punk
It's "funk rock". It's brilliant. It's exactly what RHCP stood for then: Having sex with people. It just sounds like what I imagine LA to have been like back then. It's brilliant.
You're fighting a losing battle Josh
Mother's Milk is alright
Blood Sugar Sex Magik was pretty good in places
One Hot Minute is accomplished
That's the most you'll get from me.
Jane's Addiction>>>>RHCP
No
mother's milk is alright
BSSM is amazing
One hot minute is alright
Californication is pretty good
By the way is amazing
Stadium arcadium is shit
Ritual de lo habitual is amazing, but i've never felt like getting anything else.
I just don't see why RHCP are such a laughing stock among indie people. Supposedly because of the lack of sincerity or something, which is ridiculous because people like les savy fav and gay against you. It's hardly lik RHCP are middle of the road or anything, which is the thing to not like these days. It just baffles me.
I mean, come on. Socks on cocks, songs about fucking policewomen and how big your dick is, the amazing musicianship of everybody but kiedis.
I haven't liked anything after One Hot Minute.
I used to love them too, but I've just moved on. I give BSSM a spin every now and again, but it's just a bit boring, really.
No its not
I'm on the porch cos I lost my house key
Pick up my book, I read bukowski
that's hilarious(ly bad)
It's an amazing album.
Am I not allowed my opinion?
For the record I think Gay Against You are complete wank.
And Les Savy Fav are a bit one dimensional. I still really want to see them live though.
...and Chaddo (so dull!)
and as cool as some of the John Frusciante On Drugs guitar playing was, he still spends most of his time playing like a lame Jimi Hendrix and pulling a Jimi Hendrix face.
oh stop it you

you've bought one of these, haven't you?
along with a coffin to sleep in.
meh
If we're talking stupid sex funk the Uplift Mofo Party Plan is better. George Clinton shouldn't have put all those crappy horns on it either.
at the end of a houseparty a few months ago
someone stuck on the RHCP greatest hits at the end of the night/morning when it was just about 7 of us left there and it was really quite perfect, we were all like "now i don't normally like the Chilli Peppers but they wrote some great tunes in their time"
This is either a good advert for RHCP or a bad advert for drugs.
I imagine the latter.
All this thread has done is make me want to listen to Primus
But I left the CDs at my parents' house :(
they remind me of my school German exchange
a group of us were accosted in Cologne by a ginger German sex offender wearing only a pair of grey tracksuit bottoms that kept falling down.
We escaped into a video shop that had "Give it Away" on MTV, he followed us in and then started humping the shop window. The police were called and he ran off.
RHCP: only liked by German sex offenders.
he mightve been austrian

I ended up dreaming about this incident last night
scary scenes.
Thank heavens.
Oh they really sickened me quite often.
I sincerely hope so.
massive "meh"
I wish they would split...
I really can't stand them.
Funk is pretty much the worst type of music...I HATE SLAP BASE TOO!
Oh and kedis voice is grating!
Lets start a petition to get them to split FOR GOOD!!!!
who's in?
*BASS
*BASS
*BASS
*BASS

thanks...
so you in?
Funk is not the worst type of music
go break a tooth yeah?
lol.
just saw this on the nme site, and noticed the huge torrent of abuse from nme readers, and the similarly huge torrent of abuse they've had over here. Like everyone rushed over from one site to the other to post identical comments...
Which of course they didnt, cos we all hate the nme (ducks for cover)
