Freaky Styley? I had no idea this even exsisted...

Critics and fans ignore this just as much as much as they ignore soul food buffets?

Cats diss the chili peppers...
But they are probably the funkiest white boys around...

Just to see the look on their face!!!

This album is hot!

I remember when this came out I read a long Georg Clinton article and interview in some German Music Magazine where he talked about it... so it got me interested.. then in another magazine the critics praised it and made "Freaky Styley" their album of the month... so then I went out to get it




up to this day it remains the only RHCP album I own

This is a hot one.

Great disc. My favorite is Love Sex Sugar Magic, still holds up to this day.

Everyone cites Blood Sugar Sex Magik as Chili's best. But I tend to lean more towards Californication. It was John Frusciante's first album with them since his time in rehab. So it is kind of special. It's probably one of the greatest comeback albums of all-time. There are so many great songs. Around the World has the dirtiest funk rock bass riff I've ever heard.

red hot chili peppers used to be really good in the eighties. like a slicker but sillier version of fishbone.

i think george was very strapped for cash around this time though so i wouldnt necessarily take his production of it as an endorsement of the band (even then)

RHCP are NOT funk. Not now, not ever.

theghostoftonym said:

I don't know about the cashflow, but RHCP and PFunk share an LA vibe. Matter-of-fact, PFunk's music director Dewayne Blackbyrd McKnight (George's AA sponsor, btw) had a brief stint in the band folowing Slovak's death (this is pre-Mother's Milk and John Frusicante). Byrd was unclear on why the stint was so short (some say a "lack of chemistry"), but despite a threat to burn down their studio Flea and Keidis are on good terms to show up (in te audience) at ocassional shows.

Also, don't forget RHCP opened for George's 50th Anniversary Concert in 2005.

I always question your credentials since you say you don't like Funkadelic.

PFunkjazz said:

Agreed. Evidently, somebody isn't rooted enough in the Funk.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

yet somehow George Clinton disagrees...

PFunkjazz said:

Ehm... I don't like Funkadelic as much as I like the stuff they did as 'Parliament'. Funkadelic is mostly psychedelic rock with some funk thrown into the mix. Now Parliament, that's some real funk

NDRU said:

GC himself has made a lot of crap too. Most of the stuff he's done after the seventies is just dreadfully boring or utter crap.

MsLegs said:

Oh, I'm rooted deep in the funk, sister. The keyword here being 'funk'. Now that does NOT include a bunch of stupid whiteys jumping around nekkid. Anthony Kiedis is also such a freaking boring and horrible vocalist...
The only reason people call RHCP funk in the first place is because of Flea's funk influenced slap bass lines.
Still, pretty much EVERY DAMN SONG I've ever heard from the band have sucked balls and ain't much funk going on there either.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

It might also be cause when they recorded as 'Funkadelic' they brought the geeetarr to the fore. Now, I don't object to some guitar soloing and stuff, but enuff is enuff. I don't want to hear no damn 15 min guitar solos.
Guitar doesn't bring the funk, the bass and drums do.
That's why I prefer Parliament.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Okay you think they're crap, but they're not funk? Brother's Cup, Hollywood, Freaky Styley, what kind of music is it?

FuNkeNsteiN said:

black men in diapers is any better?

Not a bad album, I like it

NDRU said:

Hey, only one of them was in diapers
Anyways, RHCP has that whole 'punk' attitude, which I despise anyways.

Hadn't heard 'Freaky Styley' before so I checked it out on youtube

There's nothing especially funky about that tune.
I mean, funk is supposed to hit you in a certain way. This tune is just kinda

Guess RHCP will always be one of those bands that I just won't 'get'.
I find them extremely overrated and boring.
Same goes for Radiohead, Björk and Nirvana.
I just don't see what's so damn special about these four acts.
Might just be some sort of unexplainable personal bias, but there's NO RHCP song in existance that you can play for me that would make me change my mind
[Edited 10/2/07 13:12pm]

whether you like the red hot chili peppers or not, they have done about a million songs which are undeniably funk.

funk purists on the internet crack me up. all "eyy honky, wheres your butt it aint behind ya its up there all over the place in the sky. oooh ya know? shiiiiit. suckas aint familiar with how the funk is particular, sister. give it to me!" when they're probably posting from a starbucks wi-fi. lawd! UGGHHHH

Not true steiN


George use to wear them..

Tawl Ross too..

I think Billy "Bass" Nelson mention about wearing them too

Me thinks that Funkenstein may have some bigotry issues.

Oh my god...Hollywood sounds like a Parliament outtake! I am confused if this is George singing or not!!!

I have to pick this album up! It sounds funky as hell. Funkenstein...we may need to take your glasses and your pimp shoes please...the cane too
