and even their worst album is better than planet earth ..

here's a song from the one hot minute album 4 those that diss the chilli peppers

Pea
I'm a little pea
I love the sky and the trees
I'm a teeny tiny little ant
Checking out this and that
I am nothing
So you have nothing to hide
And I'm a pacifist
So I can fuck your shit up

Oh yea I'm small

Fuck you asshole
You homophobic redneck dick
You're big and tough and macho
You can kick my ass
So fucking what

u tell them FLEA!!!

Oh yeah, absolutely - not like people I knew listened to them when I was 17 or so.

My mother-in-law ran into the RHCP at the airport a few years ago and said they were all very nice.

Teacher said:

Well the phrase "everything the do sounds the same and always has" demonstrates that you have not listened to the back catalogue. Just sayin'

mdiver said:

I've listened to the radio/tv music channels over the years and TO ME it sounds the same. After that I have nothing to say but to read Spookyben's statement about agreeing to disagree on music taste.

Teacher said:

It goes for many things in life too

mdiver said:

Absolutely.

Anthony is a huge part of their personality, but he's the only one not holding up his end, musically. His lyrics are horrible, like he thinks as long as it rhymes, it's okay. And his singing has seemingly not improved since 1988.

I haven't heard John F's solo stuff, but based on the bg vox it sounds like he'd be a better singer. Maybe not a better frontman, though. I have to give Anthony that much credit. He's got great energy.

Spookymuffin said:

In your opinion. Probably one of the better US bands that existed.

Dewrede said:

Check out Mothers Milk and say that again.

These guys are a great band!! All are very talented but Flea and John are amazing talents.

Empress said:

yeah, at one point I'd say they were without any real weaknesses. But lately, I feel Anthony didn't make the transition to melodic pop as well as the rest of the band. And I'm one of the few who doesn't mind that transition. But his singing on Taste The Pain & Knock Me Down were fine. Zephyr is not so tasty.

It's a tough call, though because Anthony may be writing nice melodies, but he's not singing them well.

On the whole I still like their stuff. The albums get a little long, though.

NDRU said:

I completely agree. Anthony is not as interesting as he was once. I think the whole sex symbol thing has gone to his head. I do believe that John is a great guitarist though and Flea could teach many people how to thump that bass.

Even though he's not dead,
I hope that Flea is resting peacefully, somewhere.

I like that one remake that they did of that one Stevie Wonder song.



















Stevie's not dead, is he?

I may be thinking of Ray Charles.

I remember a thread JD made about Sheryl Crow.... saying that it was her 33rd birthday or something. Sheryl was in her 40s at the time.

Teacher said:

You guys are CRAZY! Their early shit was SWEET! .....Now, not so much



Smooches;)

He apologized.

mdiver said:

well, I have listened to their back catalogue.....they've progressed in the wrong direction, Californication is from 1999 and everything they've released since sounds the same.....that's 8 years of shitty music!

Oh, 'One Hot Minute' sucked major ass too!!!!

AnckSuNamun said:

he should just change the subject ....
