The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Anyone else out there like any of the following songs by the the Chili Peps:
Sir Psyco Sexy Flea Fly Purple Stain Throw Away Your Television Yertle the Turtle Otherside Road Trippin Love Laura |
Re: The Red Hot Chili Peppers
I like Road Trippin', but I've only heard a couple of those songs.
|
Otherside is great! 8)
Keep On Rockin' |
Mmmm Red Hot Chili Peppers
I like Otherside & Road Trippin(great video 8) ,but my favourites are Soul to Squeeze & Suck My Kiss... From By The Way,the best are Minor Thing & Dosed... |
On Dosed I think Anthony's voice really excels- but he'd better watch himself- he's not looking after it properly!
|
You do know that John sings the really high parts on Dosed, right?
Keep On Rockin' |
Ye- I do know that! But Anthony does a pretty good job on the rest- his voice just seems stronger.
And I worry about John's ability to go so high... |
Purple Stain, Otherside and Road Trippin' are all ok.
My faves from the band are Around The World, Love Rollercoaster (B&B rock! :P ), Can't Stop and Don't Forget Me. :wink: |
I love the Chili's, my favourites have to be:
Otherside Scar tissue Give it away By the way They are cool.. would love to see them live. Anyone seen them? Tash |
I love Road Trippin, my fave song has to be the zephur song and i cant fault them.

Dude- I have downloaded some of their live tracks off Kazaa, and WOAH! Am I never wasting my money on going to see them live!
A mate of mine went to see them, and this mate is a MAJOR fan, member of the fanclub, posters everywhere, got all their albums and singles, knows everything about them, etc, and she left halfway through (I believe halfway was about 35 minutes) because they were so shite live. |
Never really liked RHCP, my friends a big fan of them and he's listening to them all the time so I hear their stuff and I don't really like it. I've also seen/heard some of the live material and I must say, it is ****, I never knew that guy could sing so badly. :?
|
They are a good band, without doubt, but I do think you either love them or you hate them! It's all opinion!
But as much as I love them, and as much as 50% of them are on the rather attractive side, I will not be paying good money to see them murder their own songs live! |

Chilli Peppers have some fantastic songs (Californication, Parrallel Universe) but also some really terrible ones (Porcelain, which is probably worse than She's A Mystery). I think thats the problem with having so many tracks on their albums (15-19), that you're invariably gonna get filler along with the greats

I understood you perfectly the first time, Walrus, but that's not what we're disputing!
What we are disputing, is whether or not they are any cop live! And so far, the evidence points to a resounding "Nope". |
very poor live. terrible mix, poor tone on guitar, no warmth on lead playing, vocals OK but all round not much cop.

Having said all this mind, as a red-blooded woman, I sure as hell wouldn't say no to any of them!
|
Hey- does anyone know of any Chili Peppers chat rooms?
|
i dont like very many of there songs
|
Wow...Shaun, that was...insightful...
|
I finally gave my copy of Blood Sugar Sex Magik a listen just now, about 4 months after I bought it... first half or so ranges from astoundingly bad to OK... nothing really very good. Then there's Give It Away, which is indeed fantastic, and then the rest of the album is much better than the first half... I still maintain that their albums have too many songs, which inevitably leads to filler tracks
Keep On Rockin' |
I agree- they do have filler tracks on their earlier albums, but I think I can spot only one on Californication- can't remember what its called though. Its between Otherside and Californication....
*five minutes later* Nope, I'm going to have to look it up *comes back with CD insleeve* GET ON TOP! and now I look, I like dirt is shyte as well. |
now this is a setlist! wish i was there, and by the way saw them this year at pinkpop for first time and thought they were very good, maybe unlike a few years ago, now sober, i dunno but were great

I saw them in Cardiff Millennium Stadium, June 2004, and out of all the bands I've ever seen (and I've seen alot of BIG bands), they were the worst live act to date. That's only in comparrison to the bands that I have seen but still. They only played for about 80 minutes aswell, which is pathetic for a 20 year old band. I expect that from a nostalgia act, but not from an allegedly "current" band. They were also the most expensive band that I've seen at £42.
James Brown was the support act though. :cool: And as for music in general, I own everything from Mother's Milk onwards and the music is good, not great. They are definately one of the most overrated bands ever. They strike me as a band that can just release any old album and people will still go crazy for it because 17 years ago they wrote Under The Bridge! Albums are 40% filler (why Stadium Arcadium had to be a double album I'll never know.) and these days they seem to release the same 2 singles each album. I guess the reason I'm so bitter over a band who I own half the albums of is because they are so overrated by the media and my mates and I just think, "ok they're good but they're not THAT good" and mainly cause die-hard Chili's fans slag of Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi may not be so good live as they used to be but they are certainly a better live act today than RHCP and at least each album BJ do is different to the last, quality aside. Back to the Chilis, the only albums you'll ever need by them is Blood Sugar Sex Majik, Californication and maybe By The Way. If not just get the 2003 greatest hits. On a lighter note, but favourite songs are:- Higher Ground Under The Bridge Give It Away Suck My Kiss Aeroplane Love Rollercoaster Scar Tissue Otherside Californication By The Way Zephyr Song Dosed (one of my big favourites) Fortune Faded (definately their best song out of the last 10, maybe 15, years) Dani California (Last Dance With Mary Jane ;)) Desecration Smile Especially In Michigan (best song on SA) |
I'm going to see them next Thursday :p
