Just back from their show in Paris !!!


It was really good. Probably not so good than in the past when they were all totaly crazy on stage... but still now I can confirm it.. they're really good band live

We even got a cover of "How Deep Is Your Love" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday"...

No "Under The Bridge" unfortunately... but a good old "Soul To Squeeze" with "Give It Away" and "They're Red Hot" to close the set...

Not one of my favirote bands, but I love the video to Dani California. And Flea is one talented bassist, though I must frown upon his choice of equipment [Fender, GK amps]...

I wish I could see them live...

I saw their show from Pinkpop streamed on line (They played 'Under The Bridge' as their final encore there) and I liked it a lot, very good show. And after your comment Jeff, I'm so looking forward to their perfomance on Werchter within 2 weeks !!

The more I listen to Stadium Arcadium, the more I like it in fact. And in my opinion, it contains a lot of "summer atmosphere" with most of the time catchy melodies and refrains. Lyrics are - as always - brilliant, solos are nice, drumming is more then good and bass is almost divine. It's a very solid album IMO and I would sure recommend it

Well put, Thryce. The new album is a masterpiece.

Yeah, the new one is good. I like 'Californication' best though. That one has some real good songs..

RHCP are one of my fav. rock\fun\punk bands, flea the bassist rulezz !!
the new album its really good, a littel catch of funk ..but i liked it ..

No, flea sucks. Way to overhyped. It's the vocalist that rules. Anthony Kissinger, or something?

The vocalist's usually called Anthony Kiedis, but you were coming close
I also find Californication their best album ever, but this album's definitely also one of my favourite ones for sure!
Flea maybe overhyped, but he still stays a damn good bass player, you just can't deny that

*Still 4 more days 'till their perfomance on Werchter

Yeah, ok. He is good, but not worth the hype.

Anyway, Stadium Arcadium is good, but it doesn't have songs like 'Purple Stain', 'Road Trippin', 'Parallel Universe' and of course the titletrack.

The same with me. I very much have had the album grow on me, but only the first cd. If any part of that album is a masterpiece, it would be that whole stretch called Jupiter. Mars on the other hand, is alittle harder. Theres a few songs I love, but some of the others have been harder to get into. Other than that the album is superb, and a definte buy for anyone into the Chili's unless you hate their newer stuff with a passion.

And about Flea, yes he may be overhyped, but the reason for that is because he's such a character. He stands out to people, and people enjoy hearing him speak. At the core of things he gets the job done in the Chilis and is there anyone that would have the same passion I suppose and style. He is and always has been a Chili and is an essential piece to who they are as a band.

Their best album for me is Blood Sugar Sex Magic, without a doubt. Stadium Arcadium and By The Way have some songs that also rock my world and hold special meaning for me. RHCP are one of those bands that have stood the test of time and keep coming out with some great music. They also put on an awesome live show.

i love the red hot chili peppers. I havent heard their new album yet. Is it good enough to buy.

Well you should hear it, it's DEFINITELY good enoug to buy 'Stadium Arcadium' (especially when you love them) !! Trust me, I guarantee you won't be disappointed

* Still 1 more freaken day 'till their perfomance on Rock Werchter

I saw MTV's '11 at 11' this morning, this time about the Peppers. They have some very, very weird video's.

The chilli peppers are awesome,one of my first bands i listened to,'Stadium Arcadium' is awesome,as are all there records.they are ALL talented musicians,especially Flea.

That song, Dani Claifornia or whatever, is way overplayed and I'd rather castrate myself with a rusted spoon than listen to it again :|. I think RHCP are overplayed and overrated. Other than that, enjoy

ok, would you rather listen to one of Fleas bass lines or one of Victor Wooten?...there maybe some out there more technicaly skilled but its about creativity and originality...so when you add it all up, skill, plus creativity, and orginality there is nobody better to listen to than Flea...I know...saying he's the best ever is a very stupid thing to say...anyone who says this has never seen players like Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten, Michael Manring, and Clarke Stanley play...so Flea may not be the best, but you cant say he sucks just by listening to their last two albums...at least he uses his fingers...unlike many other death or black metal bass players...but what do I know

I think I have heard more than two albums.

But anyways, you might disagree. Whatever. I just don't like him. Period.

calm down man

I never really thought about it, but they are a good band. I love the funky aspects of some of their music. I own the popular 'Californication' and their greatest hits album. Good music. I think I might put it on when I go to sleep tonight.

some of their newer stuff is great and claifornication and by the way both get played a lot by me. their earlier stuff is interesting but doesn't really appeal to me.

Flea sucks because he is way to overhyped? So he sucks because he is enthusiastic,'overhyped' ? ? ,So what,he is just interesting to watch? ,being too overhyped doesent make him a bad bass player! ...... ......

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a great band I've heard all of their albums and I would have to say that they are all good. My favorite RHCP album though is One Hot Minute because it's probably the heaviest and darkest of all their albums. My second favorite album is a tie between three other albums Mothers Milk, Californication, and Blood Sugar Sex Magik. One of my favorite songs by them that's not on any studio album is Soul to Squeeze. John Frusciante is one of the best guitar players I've ever heard because he plays with so much feeling and emotion technically he's not the best but with a band like the Red Hot Chili Peppers that doesn't matter. About Flea's bass playing it's amazing the way he can improv and play with so much dextreity and speed and he is no way overhyped IMO.

Their dark heavy and slightly assesible poppy period doesn't really appeal to a lot of people...obviously their older stuff is where it's at...they all had their sexuality questioned when they were kissing each other and shit on that one video...

Thats why I enjoy that album, its really got its own personailty compared to their other stuff. Anthony sounds different on that album, and he explores some different things, that really comes off deep. I really like the song Coffee shop and Aeroplance. I like that Flea got some vocals on it, even though its not going to win any grammies or anything.

They're playing Lalapalooza? Ugh, I just want to see them alone. They can easily do like a 2 hour show. Look at Hyde park, or Live at Slane. And playing with Kanye West and all these other artists is only going to swamp the shows.

No, read dammit. !

I didn't say he sucks because he is overhyped..

I meant: Flea is a bassist, that probably is a real good one, though I do not really like him. For some reason, I just find him annoying. Ok, I should not have used the word 'suck', but don't get all mad.

Ok,Fair enough,But you say he sucks,but not because he is overhyped,but then you say he is probably a real good bass player,which is true,I understand you think he is anoying,it's just.......... .I'm just confusing myself now........sorry,end of argument,

heyyy everybody, i never thought i could love R.H.C.P that much. after their video i really adored them n i loved them more than i do.i used to love their song but never focused on them.now they became one of ma best
