I doubt anybody other than Mamba and Jayremmie will care but I thought I'd share lol. Amazing how Josh looks like a young John.
very cool, RHCP fan from way back. No, make the way way back, early Cali days. Cousin turned me on to them. I remember my first response was along the lines of WTF? Their on stage antics could not keep me away from the great music.
I love Hillel, believe me I do. but the Chili's went to a whole other level with John. Maybe thats cause I was literally no older than 1 when John joined. But RHCP with John has a special place in my heart. My oldw Windows media player kept track of my songs played. And in one summer, I believe between my Sophomore and Senior year I literally played Californication 850+ Times. That was also letting it run through the night too though. I dont think there is one song I dislike on Mothers Milk, BSSM, Californication, By The Way, and even Stadium Arcadium.. although Stadium Arcadium was just so much music it was harder to digest than the other albums. But I def got into the Hillel era
Man, when I turned on and tuned in, these were the dark days of rock. Shit, even the Stones were tipping their collective hats to disco, with platters like" Miss You". Cousin had a bootleg tape, yeah a cassette tape, of some wild ass rockers..hehe I am just happy to see that they have , for the most part been able to continue through the changes and make great tunes still.
I don't want to give the impression that I dislike RHCP. It's just that I LOVED them with Hillel and thought they lost a lot of what made them special to me when he died.
no I didnt take it that way at all. I think we have had this discussion like 3 times now lol. I love the Hillel stuff as well, I just had to explain why I relate to John and later era (F Dave Navarro)
I hope it's more Californication than Stadium Arcadium. [video=youtube;JQYJRw4R4-Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQYJRw4R4-Q[/video] Epic album.
I listened to Californication every day for probably close to two years in high school. Listened to Stadium Arcadium a lot too just because it was new at the time. In my old age I've been into Blood Sugar Sex Magik the most though and like By the Way a lot better too. Interested to see how this turns out with a new guitarist. They seem to have a progressively "cleaner" sound with each album.
Anthony Kiedis' first press interview about it. And some comments from the others. Kiedis' mustache is crazy lol http://www.rollingstone.com/music/b...red-hot-chili-peppers-comeback-album-20110608
