Red Hot Chili Peppers

[samthebassman]

I dont know how lyrically intelligent alot of RHCP song's are.

[c00kieKrisp]

why dies the whole band look old and gay exept the lead singer he looks pimp and young and long hair

[samthebassman]

The band are old, I guess coz he shaves, who knows?

[RIPkezia]

Is it just me, or is stadium arcadium the worst album in chili peppers history?

[RIPkezia]

Is it just me, or is stadium arcadium the worst album in chili peppers history?

[samthebassman]

It was a bit of a let down, but I wouldnt say it was their worst album.

[julianne]

Definitely not their worst album.

[clairvoyant]

Is it just me, or is stadium arcadium the worst album in chili peppers history?

its actually my favorite by them

[samthebassman]

about 4th for me.

[wesm9787]

I'd say it's my favorite just because it has more songs I like than any of their other ones. Then again they have about 2 albums worth of stuff on there so that could be why.

I really can't listen to them too much any more though. The band in general reminds me of my ex-girlfriend because she used to listen to them all the time. Bah.

[c00kieKrisp]

I love the new single Hump De Bump

[Bass Queen]

i just love the fact that flea prefers to be naked.

[StrawberryFieldsForever]

Stadium Arcadium rocks my tubesocks. I don't think they've ever put out a bad album, they've made a lot of bad songs, but they don't have one album I'd call bad. Hell, I even enjoy their S/T and Freaky Styley, so yeah.

[c00kieKrisp]

i just love the fact that flea prefers to be naked.

he must have a big ****

[samthebassman]

I would doubt a man going by the name of Flea would have a big willy.

[julianne]

Blood Sugar Sex Magik & generic responses ftw.

Gah, all my friends like the Chili Peppers. Some are completely obsessed and it's all they listen to. I never got to that stage.. but, yeah, they're awesome.

[samthebassman]

Yep.

[RIPkezia]

I just hate their style change. There is too much pop and not enough of the old chilis. I don't mind change, but this was just too much for me.

[samthebassman]

Hump de bump is terrible, one of the worst tracks off of Stadium Arcadium.

[samthebassman]

I was going through my cupboards today & found the box set Stadium Arcadium limited edition thing that came out when it was first released, it has spinning tops & marbles and other silly crap in it and I paid $130 for it, what a douche.

[Granfalloon]

anybody else think that all their best songs aren't on their albums, cuz all my favorites are like the bicycle song, funny face, rivers of avalon, n sikimikanico [sp], many more ... other than that though 1 hot min. is amazing

[Granfalloon]

... and yea hump de bump and most of stadium is utterly horrible

[Dimmu Burger]

They usually have 2-5 good songs per album.

[2muchket!]

Cant stand them now really.

Just really bland and awful.

[marcus_in_absentia]

yea i loved their stuff during the californication era, beautiful pieces of work. their latest stuff is still great, but stale compared to what they have done in the past

[Dimmu Burger]

Yeah Stadium is meh.

[Jaymz Hetfield]

Ya know, usually when bands change their style....it makes them sound pretty bad. But IMO, Californication and By The Way are by far their best albums....and 2 of the best pop albums you'll find. I agree with most that Stadium was mostly pretty weak though.

[Dimmu Burger]

True dat.

[SkaRobotArmy]

ya, stadium should have been released as a single album with 12-17 tracks, trimming all the crap off. it would then rank very near to any of their others i think.

it does have some AWESOME songs... they just did too much and apparently theyd already cut a lot of songs from the album...

the biggest different i found between this album and the rest of their work is the drummer is more of an important part of the band. hes always fit the bands sound perfectly, but on stadium i think he joined the other 3 as a stand out musician and his parts became much more important to the music.

[marcus_in_absentia]

exactly. remove half the songs and it will be ALOT more listenable.

[Meatplow]

I like their older singles a lot, I should get some of those albums.

Not too fond of their modern work.

[Jaundice]

I was just thinking about this band a few minutes

I came to the conclusion that they have likeable singles and are casually unique.

[Aaron]

I really hate RHCP. Their old stuff was terribly produced and weak. Their new stuff is radio friendly tripe.

[Jaundice]

radio friendly music is brilliant

[Brew]

One Hot Minute is one of my favourite albums.

[Jaundice]

Aaron is really good at disliking well-respected bands. You're the only person i've ever known with the balls to dislike The Smiths. Other than me.

You went a bit too far with Weezer, but it's all good.

[Brew]

I've never really seen what makes The Smiths so great. They have a couple of alright songs but on the whole they're pretty meh.

[Aaron]

I don't like The Smiths because they write in the same dynamic for all their songs and think that whining is a valid vocal technique. Musically they're alright, but vocally they're kinda irritating and grating.

Weezer just write average music that I think people have misinterpreted as subtle brilliance, but to me it's just oversimplified pop that fails to hit its mark. They're a band I understand people liking.

[Jaundice]

lol, do you honestly think that weezer is average or typical in any way?

i've honestly never heard a band that sounds anything less like every other band. thats just my opinion tho

[Aaron]

I mean average in a 3/5 way; They're not groundbreaking but they're not bad either. Elvis Costello's earlier stuff was pretty similar, and I think is a huge influence on Cuemo.

[Jaundice]

you keep saying weird things. weezer broke into more unexplored territory than almost any other band i can think of.

[Meatplow]

whatever happened to humanity?

[Dimmu Burger]

I like a bunch of RHCP songs but they don't have an album that I can listen to all the way through without skipping the filler songs.

[McP3000]

Otherside is like one of the best songs ever

tbh its hard to hate the singles off californication or BSSM

everything else is really bland

[Dimmu Burger]

Parallel Universe is the shiznit!

[Brew]

Californication reminds me of being 15 and learning how to play bass.

goodtimes.

[witchxrapist]

Californication reminds me of finding the CD in my closet and rocking out to it on the way to school pretty often this past semester.

[Jaundice]

can we all agree that under the bridge is a cool song

[Dimmu Burger]

can we all agree that under the bridge is a cool song

Sure!

[Meatplow]

I usually stop listening to BSSM after I Could Have Lied comes on

[MrPoopular]

Jaundice, theres nothing new about Weezer whatsoever. If you really think that weezer are an innovative band then i'd hate to see what you think is safe music

[burtonbassist_101]

heeyyooo, listen what i saayyyooo.

what a great song.

[Jaundice]

I'd give examples of bands but I usually don't listen to music and then think "hey this is safe"

so i cant think of anything off the top of my head

[Jaymz Hetfield]

Californication and By The Way are great pop albums. Some turds may say that is an oxymoron, but those people have no soul.

[Jaundice]

Yeah you care way too much what people think if you say great pop is an oxymoron

[FlameZ]

I never really got into Blood Sugar Sex Magik. I prefer Californication

[Meatplow]

A lot of the songs on Californication were some of the best they've done, I just found the production difficult to listen to long before I realised exactly why it never sounded that great to me.

I've been cranking Blood Sugar Sex Magik and What Hits!? a lot lately

[witchxrapist]

Californication has bad filler tracks, but such good gems.

By The Way is my favorite album of theres. IDK I've given up on greatest hits collections.

[Meatplow]

I've never been familiar with any of their earlier albums so it's good to listen to for the moment.

I should probably get The Uplift Mofo Party Plan or Mothers Milk or something

[witchxrapist]

Oh word. Ah, the advantages of having heaps of older siblings.

[Meatplow]

Fight Like A Brave is always stuck in my head

[mappyxmassacre]

that's because you never had to fight against braves

you don't understand the savagery

[Meatplow]

I think the song is about booking into rehab clinics or something

[mappyxmassacre]

I know, I'm just bored, idk.

[The Feeding]

I used to listen to Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic all the time when I was a kid. My dad loved that album, sooo many amazing songs

[Meatplow]

i'm enjoying the first album quite a lot at the moment
