scar tissue is a rather interesting book, the main part i can remember from it is when he was shagging his girlfriend under the stage at an oasis gig and he hit a switch and he thought he turned all the power off but it was just in the room he was in

[QUOTE=Canadian_Guy]Not many.[/QUOTE]

Maybe a handful of people out of the entire venue.

i'm listenin to otherside at the moment. great band tho

I loooove the Chili Peppers (see name), their lyrics are great, even though they often make no sense. Some of my favourites are Californication and Under the Bridge, but I love loads of their stuff. Has anyone heard the Live in Hyde Park album? In my opinion it's fantastic!!


Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement....

Red Hot chili peppers are awesome. Flea is probably my number 1 bassist right after matt Freeman(rancid)

Flea has a cool style. I think he's a good bassist. I prefer the earlier stuff he gave us, though, as compared to "By The Way". His basslines are still awesome and smooth now, but I liked the funkier stuff like from "Blood Sugar Sex Magik".
It actually makes me want to pick up their earlier stuff and have a good listen.

I'm listening to their cover of "Higher Ground", and I actually like it better than the original by Stevie Wonder.

Old RHCP is the best, Mother's Milk, BSSM, Breaking the Girl is, In my opinion one of their best songs.
Newer Chili Pepers doesn't impress me too much..

For anyone who hasn't read Scar Tissue its a great book I'm not really into RHCP alot but it was pretty interesting hearing about how they got started. I really like John Frusciante's style and Anthony is one jazzy man.
My favorite song would have to be Give It Away that video is crazy.

i didnt like them at first but now they're REALLY growing on me. I think they're a really great band.

I really like RHCP's cover of Sly and the Family Stone's 'If You Want Me To Stay' off of Freaky Styley.
I remember Mr. Bungle did a parody of RHCP on Halloween 1999 I believe. They mixed all the songs together, such as Give it Away, Around the World and Under the Bridge and Patton interpreted some really funny lyrics. Since there are more than 4 members in Mr. Bungle, one dressed up as a Chad Smith arabian fanboy, one as River Pheonix's ghost and another as Hillel Slovak's. Classic.

RHCP is one of my favorite bands I got most of their cd's and their the reason I started playing guitar

I like RHCP. I listened to Californication earlier today, it's such a great album.

The Chili Peppers and the greatest and I've been into them for agggesss
I absolutely love anything by them
I have all their CD's and a couple DVD's too.
I can't wait to see them live, I've been waiting so long.
Anyways...all up great band, great music
Oh yeah and Flea is awesome too

As it has been said in this thread before Red hot chilli Peppers is a great band. Every album is wonderful. I like John's style of playing the guitar, its really unique and sounds great.. at the moment i cant stop listening to Don't Forget Me..and i love Mommy where's Daddy, and i like nearly every single song by them.

Just watch the Live at Slane castle dvd and i promise you... It'll take your breath away, Flea and John steal the show with their unbelievable solo's. 'By the way' never really did it for me though, everything before hand was beautiful though.
Peace

Yeah!

im a big Chilli Peppers fan...i think their music is amazing also...i think that this new album is gonna be more rock and maybe more hard core than the last album By the Way...It will be fun to see what they have in store for us.....i heard rumours that this new albumis to be called Ice Cream

but well i dunno...just have to wait and see

I got it for Christmas...its amazin'!!!

great solos from John and Flea like you said...and the bullet point technology that keeps Kiedis suspended in mid air jumps....the whole scene is amazing....and...my teacher was at the concert nd she said it was her favourite concert ever....shez summin like 25

RHCP is amazing, one of my favorite bands...But they get really fast boring :rolleyes:

They're my favorite band, as you can see from my username.

I saw em at Hyde park, wot an amazin show, the energy they capture intheyre songs, and improv is inspiring to anyone. theyre best album imo is uplift mofo party plan, the best thing about them is that theyre style changes all the time

I've heard the Slane Castle performance is rather awesome.
I like "Fight Like A Brave" off of "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan". I confess I only heard it from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, but I liked the funky sound. I'm glad I liked it more than the pop punk on the soundtrack.
It's still a favorite of mine.

i'm a huge fan. i've seen them live 15 times, there's just something amazing about their live concerts that you can't describe, you just have to go. i cannot wait to hear what they've done for the new album, i'm pi[size=2]ss[/size]ing myself with anticipation.

One of my favourite bands. It seems to me that Chad Smith could do so much better then he does during recording. He does some pretty good stuff at live shoes I've heard.

Best band ever imo. Its crazy how john is still alive. I saw a bio on the chilis and it showed a video of john in his worst point to his addiction to heroein, crazy, his head was huge, and as someone said had 1/12 his bodys blood, pretty heartbreaking. And now he has no teeth because of his past, but his voice suits the chilis so well live like on dont forget me and otherside. My favourate song would have to be dont forget me, the live at slane version, that last solo is the most amazing and heavenly solo ive ever heard.

[QUOTE]It seems to me that Chad Smith could do so much better then he does during recording[/QUOTE]

ya i got that too, but then again, all of them are much better live, but chad definately excells live. I guess they keep it simple when recording.

...and if want these kind of dreams it's Californication. Such a great song, eerily beautiful.

I'm going to borrow it off my dad, he never wtches it so I'll end up keeping it fingers crossed :D

I've seen it before and yes the whole Kiedis in mid-air is wicked cool :thumb:


:)

i was reading rolling stone mag and im pretty sure they sed flea is the BEST bassist ever RHCP rule i got their gr8st hits its awesome

They'd be fools to even say that. Flea isn't the best, as awesome as he is. They might have said best rock bassist, but best bassist ever? No. I wouldn't even say he's the best rock bassist ever. You can't really determine who is "best", you don't know what all they're completely capable of. Tim Commerford could be able to solo like Eddie Van Halen on bass and we may never know it because it doesn't seem to be his style. Nate Mandel may be able to play funkier rhythms than Flea and we may never know it because Foo Fighters are not funk influenced.
If they did say that he was the best ever, they've overlooked Jaco Pastorius, Stu Hamm(whom I've been told is freaking awesome), Les Claypool, numerous funk and jazz musicians, numerous rock bassists, etc.
While Flea is a geat bassist, he is in no way "the best".
I do admire his work, however. Very precise and very melodic. Nice stuff to really mellow out to.

Flea is not the best bassist in the world

People who dont know about music as much as others come to that conclusion because he is one of the most characteristic bassists. Listen to Les Claypool of Primus for starters and then youll realize Flea isnt the best (still is a great bassist)

By the way its bull**** that AEROPLANE was left out of their greatest hits album

AEROPLANE is my favourite Chilli Peppers song and its a joke that it was left out :angry:

Aeroplane is awesome. My friends and I were singing it through a theme park one time and we were almost kicked out for singing "that mother****ers always spiked with pain."
I like the bass and guitar in that song a lot.

Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik = one funky a[I]s[/I]s album

That album is my favorite one by the Chili's. I like Frusciante's guitar work, especially. Anthony's vocals and Flea's bass are also awesome to listen to.

the Red Hot Chili Peppers are a great band. they are my favorite.

although flea isn't the best bassist ever, he is my favorite bassist, next to Cliff Burton. Flea is one of the most creative and catchy bassists ever in my opinion. He did a very well done job on "Aeroplane" with his sexy slap bass line. And on "Higher Ground" with the awesome intro and the end of the chorus with he desending bass specialty; and "Stone Cold Bush"- unbelievable slap solo played live.

John has a beautiful voice and breathtaking solos like in "Soul to Squeeze" and beautiful riffs like "Under the Bridge" and one of the best guitarists in my opinon.

Anthony is one of the best frontmen i think, and my favorite next to Bruce Dickinson. He has a great voice.

Chad is very underrated and should get more attention. he is a great drummer live. and he fits the songs perfectly, and doesn't give you just the boring simple drum beat, he acutally improves them to be catchy.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are like Dream Theater: a band where ALL the members are super talented and hard to find a band with all the members like that. And another fantastic thing about them is they dont do just one genre music. they play any genre: Funk, rock, rap rock, soft rock, funk metal, rap metal, you name it. With songs from the beautiful riffs of "Under the Bridge" to the heavy punk of "Jungle Man" from the tear-making solo of "Soul to Squeeze" to the heaviness of "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" you name it. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are the greatest band to ever live.
