Just don't bother arguing this one it'll never end. At the end of the day if you bash a popular band but you listen to more obscure artist they're always going to attack you for being elitist regardless of what you say. It's the only defense they have when a certain band makes bland radio cock rock anthems.

^ That is why RHCP are awesome.

Yeah but solo>RHCP, he should quit the band and leave them to their mediocrity.

Wayfarer · 01-16-2008, 05:43 PM

He never really lets loose like that on his solo stuff though. Can see why some might dislike RHCP's poppiness, or Anthony's singing/lyrics, but when they jam, they're fackin' brilliant.

I cant stand Anthony Keidis and his lyrics, just really annoys me, although they have put out some good songs, mostly their older stuff, they are nothing amazing

Well the bad thing about that is he says he can't or won't (idk which) make solo albums currently because the Peppers aren't together. Which sucks, i was looking forward to one coming out soon.

edit: And not only tht, in some of Johns solo work the only person not playing is Anthony. And Chad does a lot of the drums through his 10/11 solo albums.

the chili peppers are the reason i started playing music in the first place. i'll always remember the day i first heard their music.

it was spring 1990, i was watching over my cousins at my aunt's house and had muchmusic (canadian version of MTV) going on the tv while i did homework. they had a metal show called 'the power hour' every night, and that evening was an interview with metallica while they were in toronto for their justice tour.

the only person that was awake when the crew showed up was lars so it became the lars ulrich hour. at one point they asked him what band out of LA was really catching his attention, lo and behold it was RHCP. so they played a video 'show me your soul', i thought it was kind of weird but i dug it by the end of the tune.

then later in the broadcast he asked for more peppers. so they played 'jungle man' and THAT is when my head cracked. i had never really heard anything quite like it before, i was totally shocked. flea's bass splattered my perceptions of music all over the place and hillel's guitar just scooped it back up into my skull. it was the coolest thing i had ever heard and i KNEW i wanted to play music after that.

they closed the show with 'higher ground' and i was sold on the peppers. while i've since grown away from their style i won't ever deny the massive influence they had on me during my adolescence. reading about people like eric dolphy and charles mingus through interviews with flea and frusciante also got me listening to jazz a lot sooner than i likely would have on my own as well.

also, if the peppers are on hiatus and frusicante isn't feeling like working on a solo disc i REALLY hope this means flea is finally getting to work on the solo disc he's been hinting at for a while now.

Stop trolling please.

Your arguments and your attempts at "reasoning" for why a bands music is objectively bad is just irritating, and you do it on a thread devoted to that band and you know you're going to get into it with some fans, and for what? They are dead set agains't any criticism for their favorite band and nothing will change that. What are you trying to do? Show them the light? Give me a break.

You're so biased yet robotic in your stubbornness, it creeps me out.

**jackhammer** · 06-14-2008, 02:23 PM

I was playing Stadium Arcadium at work today and I still think it's a great album and I personally think it's their best album behind The Uplift Mofo Party Plan.

**boo boo** · 06-14-2008, 02:30 PM

I think RHCP have gotten weaker and yeah they have dried up a bit. But they still have some gems here and there.

I'll say it again, Californication gets a lot of hate but I f*cking love that album. By the Way is pretty good too if only slightly above average. I think their turn towards more melodic pop music was a refreshing change, but now it's really dried up and they need to evolve. Planet Arcadium is hit and miss. I really hate Tell me Baby.
