Actually RHCP do keep evolving even though they've been around for a long time. I adore Richie Sambora--but John Frusciante blows him away in his sleep. Have you been to a Red Hot concert and seen him play? In fairness I did see BJ this year and they were good but I've always felt Richie cut his solos too short (which are my favorite part of hearing a song) and when you go see a band--you want to hear the songs with a twist. Otherwise you can stay home and listen to the CD.

If you listened to Stadium Arcadium, there's no way you could say it was the same old thing or lacking substance. Each song sounds different and AK's vocal style is different. He can sound completely different in each song. I think the people that say that don't understand the lyrics and get bored and move on. It can be difficult to hear about planets and supernovas after listening to love songs...

As for Mars, they are very good musicians. Maybe it wasn't the best trio to mention together but there's many others I could mention.

Again, no offense. Bon Jovi is everyone's dirty little secret!
