Red Hot Chili Peppers

[cherrypepsi17]

RHCP for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

who's with me?

 

[mryansg1]

Even their worst songs tend to have a great guitar riff or bassline in there.

 

[Nilson Nison]

No in the sense of what? You don't think they're similar?

Hey, I'll have you know this conversation actually inspired me to go back and listen to BSSM for, I think, the first time since I was in my teens. I wrote a little review based on the experience: http://www.rabroad.com/album-reviews/39510-old-bastard-reassesses-red-hot-chili-peppers-blood-sugar-sex-magik.html

I really did try to approach it with an open mind since I hadn't heard it in so long. And, no, I haven't reversed my opinion of the album but there are certain things I appreciate about it now. You might get a kick out of the review.

Yup I like them alot.
Hard to pick what their best song is as they have alot of decent ones, but I would probably pick 'Otherside' as my favourite.

 

[Ḳạḳạṛịḳị]

Can't have too much RHCP from that recording session. Tack on 'Sikimikanico' while you're at it...

 

[Akramul]

I love all thier ****, awesome...

If I had to pick one song, would probably be My Lovely Man or The Greeting Song.

 

[CindyComesBack]

^Really off topic, but I'm curious, how old are you?

 

[powershaker]

I listed to Freaky Styley earlier today for the first time in ages. Good times. A+ for 'The Brothers Cup'.

 

[Kimberly L]

Hopefully someone good! The last thing they need is a mediocre guitarist to kill whatever buzz they've got left in the tank...

 

[nightmarecall]

Why should he?Dude his opinon maybe diffrent but that doesnt mean he has to leave.

 

[§§Mad Banke®§§]

*they're

 

[Beyond Mordant]

I agree with this statement

 

[reneeb]

Most singers stick to the backing music, and you'd be hard pressed to find a mainstream rock band today that switches up time signatures. They incorparate a wide variety of musical styles, including funk, rock, phsychedelia, punk, and pop.

 

[lauuuuren.]

Duh. Rock is a subgenre of metal. Every durabass knows that.

 

[Lea E]

.....Am I seeing things, or did Gentlemen Johnny say his horse is "loose"? =|....I don't even wanna know.

 

[Dr. Greenthumb is famous]

he wasnt asking him to leave. oh this is petty, enough with this argument.

 

[harkencorn]

i LOVE the red hot chili peppers. bssm was them at their best, they have somewhat gone downhill since then.
i love suck my kiss, give it away and soul to squeeze
not to say i dont like the newer stuff. i just think they have seen better days

(woo! first post)

 

[Tinyjoshua]

Besides that one Stevie Wonder cover, everything RHCP has ever done makes me want to vomit. Sorry to make you guys cry, but I cannot bare to listen to another overplayed sing-a-long c0ck rock anthem.

 

[FairyScarlet]

I extremely like the guitarist. John Frusciante has put out 10 incredible solo albums. And I would say I really like RHCP. Between BSSM, One Hot Minute, Calif, Btw, and Self Titled...thats a pretty damn strong resume. More than 90% of other banRAB can say.

 

[Island Princess]

Okay, that's absolute rubbish. Even if you hated everything they produced in the last decade, Blood Sex Sugar Magik was a great, great album, and it got them out there. It was in the heyday of grunge and along came RHCP, a band that could actually carry a tune without looking like a bunch of hobos that got waylaid by a city bus.

I personally hated By The Way, but I liked Californication and Stadium Arcadium enough. At the very least, Californication could be called good. Maybe not spectacular, but certainly a worthwhile accomplishment.
