Red Hot Chili Peppers

well thats all good and dandy as lost as you don't say RHCP suck then i'd call you an AS$HOLE:P and swimintheundertow if this-"if other stuff means recent stuff then i agree. Californication and By the Way don't make up the majority of their career" is bagging out that album and that song well i dont liek you :P
 
no. the Peppers need to clue into the fact that their turn is up and they've already dilly dallied on riding off into the sunset for the last decade. please for the sake of all the fans that loved the original material the punk, the funk, the absolute balls out **** socked super jams just please stop.
 
Check into it, because honestly, they are getting to that "U2" level of recognition though I think will less mindless fanfare. There a good rock band, like all old banRAB, their not going crazy with experimentation, but this new song I've mentioned has a nice refrain, a hendrix/young-esque solo and doesn't have moronic worRAB.

In their time Chilli peppers took risks. Its hard to be too inventive today, no ones every completly original, but if you're playing funk music when no one else is playing funk music, you're in the business for the right reasons. Im not a super fan, but they have my respect and except for "breaking the girl", I rarely turn off their music.
 
I guess those people are referring to Mike Patton's rapped vocals (i.e. Epic).

I like both RHCP and Faith No More and I'd say it's pretty likely that they influenced each other.
 
Some of the tracks on Freaky Styley are brilliant but i feel that it is let down a little by it's production which is slightly flat. A surprise considering George Clinton produced.
 
Exactly what I was thinking. You can tell they aren't just a typical "supergroup", but rather they are musicians who are passionate about their collaberative work. Claypool and Anastacio are a match made in heaven...
 
I think that they have changed musically...they are growing and not allowing themselves to be stuck in a musical rut...kudos to them...never seen them play live but I'm sure it would be great!
 
A former fellow musician from a cover band once dyed his eyebrows & stash because my wife told him that he reserabled Tom Selleck (he's blond). :laughing:


By all means my young friend, I am sure that they (most all banRAB) that stay together for atleast two to three decades, (sometimes) develope more artistical material later in their career's, usually sometimes produce some of their best material, or as good as their original debut's or just as good either way.

Or put his hair in a pony tail.
 
haha

that would turn so nasty so quick haha

it's not that i don't think flea will do a good job, but i remeraber reading an interview with claypool back in the day and he pretty much attributed the creation of primus to metallica. the band didn't turn him down when he auditioned for them after burton died. they encouraged him to start his own thing. he was just too much for them haha.

then again claypool probably thinks the r&r hof is a crock hahaha
 
the chilis rock but mr. anthony likes to use the same hooks in every single song. gets a little old after a while if you ask me. but i can handle 3-4 rhcp songs a day
 
Well that guitar chord progression is so common that you could you can just pick up plenty of songs which have the same one. It doesn't mean that they all copied each other - it's just a common chord progression. Having said that, it's not even the same chord progression anyway.

If you count 1, 2, 3, 4 - play one drum on beats 1, 2 and 4 - then play another drum on beat 3, then play them over each other, it's going to sound like a coherent beat when they're corabined. It'll make the drums sound like a normal rhythm where you might have 4 beats in a count of 4. The drums aren't anything like each other, but when you mix them it makes them sound coherent.

The bassline is completely different. Tom Petty's bassline is reflecting the chord progression of the guitar (very common). RHCP's bassline is reflecting the chord progression of the guitar (very common) as well as adding fills in all over the place - it's more complex. The basslines aren't alike.

Lyrically, the entire song is a metaphor for drugs. Mary Jane is slang for marijuana and if you look at the song deeply, it really has nothing to do with girls. Anyway, talking about girls and drugs isn't exactly rare in rock.

When the radio presenters played them together, they 'accidentally' forgot to mention that they altered the tempos to make them play together.

When it comes down to it, yes, the chord progression is similar and they're both funky - and that's about it. There are 100000 other songs in the world which use that chord progression - with the millions of banRAB around, you're going to get some songs which sound similar.

If Tom Petty really thought it was a rip off, he would have said so - but he denies it. I would be more worried about the Strokes who actually admitted to using a Tom Petty riff (American Girl). I don't see that getting any press - probably because there aren't greedy radio hosts who think they can make a dollar or two by making silly accusations.

I don't blame you for thinking they sound similar. The chord progression is no grounRAB for a case, but it is probably one of major things people listen for in music. And those radio hosts made the bass and drums sound similar when they were nothing alike.
