Red Hot Chili Peppers
Just picked up the new CD yesterday. If you're a 'Pepper's fan...it kicks ass! These guys are so tight the older they get and the studio quality of the recordings are amazing. Highly recommended.

I dunno... Mothers Milk was the last album of the Chili's I bought... ...cause I didn't like where they went... I think they kind of sold out myself.

Its called MATURITY. I saw/heard their new vid, and I liked it. They have slowed down on their frenitic style.
Sell Out, *****. Everybody sells out.

As much as I think their politics are as juvenile and simple-minded as they come, I love their music...always have.

If they cut out "California" from their lyrics, what would they be left with.
 I like them, especially when singing "Under the Bridge" since I have about the same vocal range as the singer.

They lost it after Mother's Milk and they tried to become Jane's Addiction
They even went so far to get Dave Navvaro for a while. Fruiscante is an amazing guitarist |

John became a useless heroin addict. After trying to help him the band had to give up on him. Since Flea plays with JA it seemed natural to borrow Dave until John either died or got his crap together. I would love to catch them in concert. My son wants to go to the Family Values tour. I am not a fan of 12 hour long concerts but will probably take him.

My 18 year old son thinks they sold out 10 years ago.
Flea used to drive me bonkers with his hyperactive antics. I saw the new video and loved it but my son told me they looked like a bunch of Nancy boys. Their parody of those 80's hair bands and they've said some of their heroes is what makes that video such a hoot. They obviously don't take themselves serious. On a guitar forum I frequent someone pointed out that Dani California sounds amazingly similar to Mary Jane's Last Dance. Damn they were right but I still like the CD. That part at the end where Fru goes nuts with the wah flange is wicked.

Les Paul, I agree about the first couple of chords sounding like Tom Petty, I thought that immediately the first time I listened. If you want to hear an amazing solo, track 13 of the 2nd CD...the ending salvo by Fru is fu*&%ng amazing. I haven't heard a guy go off like that in a while.

Mothers milk was more than 10 years ago... More like 15 I think. It came out when I was in college.
They were a frat boy band about the time Mothers Milk came out. I'm talking abotu the days of the serious punk-funk stuff. 'twas awesome! It coincided with the whole "It's cool to be alternative" movement in the mid-90's... Same thing happened with 9-inch-nails... I was a fan, then one day walked through Frat-jerk row an heard it coming from 2 seperate windows, I knew the end was near...

saw them like 20 year ago in chico at the blue max diner, had to be snuck in by a bouncer buddy of mine because i was only 20. anthony (forget his last name) was unreal, real stage presence. that was when they still were doing the single sock on the cock sets still kinda creeepy. that was pre-flea even i think.
they had a beater old tour bus that was broken down out side the venue, but the chico chicks were all over them. i think they may have had sex that night. i know i did not.

If I'm not mistaken, Flea has always been with the band. I saw them perform at several skate contests back in the mid 80's and he was with them then. Anyone else confirm Flea as a original member? Cheers,

Watched them in St Louis in the late 1980's- they were incredibly energetic, and rude! At encore time, they came out on the stage in nothing but jock straps. Anothony packed a bunch of thick matted hair into the jock so it was this hairy froth of a patch! They rocked out, went to the bar and drank straight Jack, then walked outside in the freezing snow and got in their limo. Wild.

Flea and Anthony are the founding, (original), members. Hard to keep track of the intervening roster, (Hillel, Dave N., Fruscanti, etc..), but AK and Flea are original.
If I wasn't so broke I would be in Europe right now partying w/ them and going to the shows. That was the original plan for June '06.
