I know we have a lot of RHCP fans here. [video=youtube;BYojs78Tf9Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYojs78Tf9Y[/video] [video=youtube;E1N_JDqHOZ8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1N_JDqHOZ8[/video]
Hmm, again I like both bands, but I'd have to pick the Chili Peppers. A more unique sound, their funk/rock/pop fusion sets them more apart than Aerosmith's pretty standard (but good) guitar rock.
For you maybe, but some view Aerosmith as a top 100 artist all time, where as many don't view RHCP as one. In terms of cultural, musical impact, and influence, Aerosmith is above RHCP's. Plus Aerosmith's greatest singles are much better than that of the Chili Peppers. Dream on, Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion.
not that close. Aerosmith is pretty cool sometimes, but RHCP have sooooo many good songs. Just look at what they did with their last double album, that was incredible, and most people kind of figured that they had nothing new to offer.
To me its not a knock on Aerosmith.. I like what they do. But they didnt create something entirely new. The Chili's did that, they did what hasnt been done, and have been pretty damned good at it. Aerosmith is pretty damned good at doing what has already been done.
I thought Stadium Arcadium sounded redundant. The songs just blended together for me and started to sound the same. I'm a much bigger fan of their work on Californication and Blood Sugar Sex Magik. It wasn't as bad as One Hot Minute. To BrianWheeler, they're not the first of their kind. There were other funk bands before Red Hot Chili Peppers they were the first to really implement spoken verse(rapping) into funk music. They were the biggest mainstream one to do it.
I'm not just talking Funk with the Spoken Verse, I'm talking with the inclusion of Rock into it as well.
Okay they're not the first to do Funk Rock, well that depends on what your definition of funk and rock is. Anyway I love the RHCP's but I don't think they're close to one of the greatest bands ever.
