Will be interesting to see what the Chili's come up with. Klinghoffer is good technically, but Frusciante was the heart and soul of the Chili's. I have a feeling his solo efforts will continue to be better than the Chili's records without him.

HEYYYY OHHHH

gonna be awful

will be different, not awful

Cool. I'll be looking forward to this, even though Frusciante was a huge part of the band.

no frusciante no love

ya all of their terrible albums were without john so not looking forward to this

not going to be good. the only guitarists they should work with are fruiscante and Slovak

I'm interested at the very least. I really liked Stadium Arcadium too.

I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Enotron grow a pair

Going to rule regardless of anything. One of the only 80's/90's bands that weren't afraid to experiment with their sound and the result always excited me. Band knows how to stay relevant and legendary at the same time.

if by experiment you mean make the same album over and over again then okay

also, stadium arcadium was fucking terrible and frusciante had almost full creative control on that so i don't see why people think this will be extra bad just because he isn't in the band anymore

yeah but what really killed Stadium Arcadium more than anything was Kiedis' vocals/lyrics

Enotron grow a pair

yeah but what really killed Stadium Arcadium more than anything was Kiedis' vocals/lyrics

I don't know that I would ever say he was really awesome, but he used to add an element of fun energy with enough sentimentality to temper the sillier stuff.

I don't mind him so much on Californication, and I actually think his singing and lyrics on By the Way were pretty damn good, but there are wayyyy too many classic Kiedis cringe-moments on Stadium to me.

ahh because post-pubescent men get upset over people's music tastes

idk i just love the funk-punk sound they have on freaky styley and uplift mofo party plan. the music is great on al their later records, but kiedis is just not meant to sing(at least not in the fashion he does on those records)

idk i just love the funk-punk sound they have on freaky styley and uplift mofo party plan.

Which is depressing because he's the worst part of them live. It's like fantastic/fantastic/fantastic/nawww

They just work for me with everything, somehow. Songs like "Skinny Sweaty Man" turn me on just as much as "Hard to Concentrate".

i love pretty much everything the chilis put out with frusc. the others without him, not so much... frusc is the heart and soul. im a little scared...

Very intrigued to hear some new stuff. RHCP was one of my favorite bands growing up but I've lost interest especially with Frusciante's solo stuff catching my eye.

Eh. I still go to RHCP to get my modern pop rock fix in. The glory days are behind them but they could still craft a hell of a pop song.

SA was good. I really hope this is no exception.

i'd argue the Frusciante WAS the heart of the band. but after the same-old same-old guitar work on Stadium Arcadium, it sounded like he was bored and ready to move on (or back to his awesome solo work).

because of this, i'm in definite support of a new guitarist, and i'm interested to see how he turns out. and Flea better get his ass back to slappin da bass

Jesus. RHCP guitarists have become the James Bonds of the music world.

"if by experiment you mean make the same album over and over again then okay"

Because Freaky Styley, One Hot Minute and Stadium Arcadium all sound EXACTLY the same! Dude do your homework before making comments like that.

John Frusciante is like a God to me, hopefully he gets a new album out soon, but I'm definitley looking foward to this release. If anyone can replace John, It's Josh.

WhiteNoise could be my alt

and porch is wrong like always

maybe he was referring to their last 3 albums

John Frusciante is like a God to me

Honestly porch your argument has so many holes in it, I can't even begin to start to prove you wrong.
You'd like it if you weren't such a spiteful penis and you know it

your desktop background is probably a giant picture of frusciante wearing a sock on his dick

your desktop picture is probably thurston moore pouting with thick glasses on filling the hole where
his dick should be with noise

lmao

no its this

hey look its your mother

Holy shit when did they lose the guitarist?

This will be worth checking out but honestly, Frusciante was what made that band great. Case in Point: One Hot Minute.

I thought Stadium Arcadium was amazing so I'm really looking forward to this.

That's a nice looking bass.

Not the biggest fan of these guys, but interested to hear how the new guitarist affects their sound.

I'm pretty excited for the new release, and yeah I really liked Stadium Arcadium. Don't know why it received so much hate

in like an objective sense this band sucks, right, but there's way too much nostalgia here for middle school and "by the way" for me not to listen to this

I'm pretty excited for the new release, and yeah I really liked Stadium Arcadium. Don't know why it received so much hate

i hope this doesn't suck

"which is why you are unable to see that they have been rehashing the same old formula for over a decade"

Go listen to 'Get On Top, Purple Stain, I like Dirt' from Californication. Then go listen to 'Cabron', 'Venice Queen' and 'Minor Thing from By The Way and then listen to 'Charlie', 'Torture Me' and Wet Sand from Stadium Arcadium.

Just do it.

"I'm just projecting and guessing, but I would say we'd like to try to deliver the album in March. We're definitely hoping to have it out by next summer. It's been a long time in coming." - Will Ferrell, drummer

Oh shit!

Yeah Chad was fantastic in Elf, I just watched it

I hear the next RHCP album is going to be very "Old School".

stadium arcadium was really good. basically 99% of what they've done has been really good. this will be really good.

Eh, I'm not a fan of their more funk Hillel era stuff.

replacing Frusciante again? Don't they remember what happened last time?

@JDub: Not being a dick but are you talking about their s/t?

I actually like One Hot Minute North, and they're not replacing him, he chose to leave the band to continue his solo career citing musical differences.

better be good god damn it.

He left, and someone takes his place. That's called replacing, regardless of why he left.

Well, the way you made your last statement

replacing Frusciante again? Don't they remember what happened last time?

I know, and they did that before. He didn't get kicked out last time either.

Of course they are going to replace him
I doubt they would work as well as a trio
Flea's still there, I'm happy

band is farts

Tbh I can't see why they would choose to go on without him. Its like if Aaron Weiss left MWY and they went "pff we're good without him too!"

Tbh I can't see why they would choose to go on without him

Puddles wins deep comment of the year

Haha yes I have read the book and I know they're close and stuff. They suck now though and its time to move on.

lame

wonder how they gonna do without frusciante

I'm definately curious, but Frusciante was a great guitarist and a great fit for the band. I'll check it out but not expecting anything amazing.

They haven't been interesting since 'One Hot Minute', and they don't even count that as part of their discography. Frusciante dragged this band down, in my opinion. They were better with Hillel.

I honestly enjoyed everything the Chili's have done. They may have started using a simplistic sound, but it worked for them.
