Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Zardon · May 4, 2006, 07:56 PM

I have to admit ive never been a chilli fan tbh, but ive admired some of their musicanship in the past from the distance.

My mate had downloaded their new / forthcoming album today (well it isnt out yet in the UK, might be in the states), and it was on the background while we were chatting.

I gotta say it really is pretty good, with their own unique funky pop rock sound. Flea is a damn fine bassist too, even if he is a tool.

Falstaff · May 4, 2006, 08:13 PM

You gotta love them....
and Oingo Boingo too..LOL
I have always loved Fleas bass playing..
and I will listen even if Navarro isnt playing guitar on the album...

indeed x2

i've only enjoyed maybe one.. possibly 2 of thier songs.... but even though i don't like majority of the rest of the stuff at all.... i still think they do very well....

i think it's just there "sound" they have... it's unique yes.... but not my tastes.

they are unique yeah, ive never been a fan either, but i always kind of admired their playing and uniqueness from a "distance", I was a metalhead as a kid but since ive gotten older my tastes are really wide now.

Its a really impressive double album IMO, a few duff tracks and some I dont personally like but overall I think its brilliant. catchy, fun, a good vibe from the melodies and some great musicanship. Give it a shot guys - tell me im wrong

Chaos · May 4, 2006, 09:08 PM

I gather you have a special release since the release date is May 9

I like the peppers personally and flea is a great player I will have to give it a listen. I saw somewhere online the are pissed because someone leaked the cd to the internet.

EDIT: It was on cnn actually

Falstaff · May 4, 2006, 09:11 PM

Well its nice to see that the rest of the world is catching up to the Peppers...I know it sounds cliche but they have been really big everywhere else in the world..

they've been really big in the uk forever too, but I still think that they make dull monotonous shite music.
I liked under the bridge for the guitar work, everything else bores me silly.

you want unique music go buy the Mars Volta's albums

Nah, they have been pretty big everywhere for years, im not just catching onto them, just listening to their new album instead of laughing at the singer prancing around half naked in some weird costume

they certainly wouldnt be in my top 10 bands of all time, but its nice to hear people able to play instruments in 2006, far too much electronic music around atm.

They are really great live, very satirical in nature, they really poke fun at the industry..LOL
I remember listening to the Chili Peppers at general quarters off the coast of Kuwait in 91, they just had the Angst and the edge to make them interesting then.

As a bass player, I admit that Flea is one of my idols! The riff he plays and all the sounds he can make with his bass are like : WOW!!! Im not a BIG fan but I know a 6-7 songs on my bass and play them often! Like : By the way, Give it away, Cant stop and the new one Danni California! Really good songs, Im going to buy the new (2disc) LP.

Falstaff · May 4, 2006, 09:43 PM

Yeah Flea has been a huge influence on lots of other bass players as well..
Kinda like the Beer Hunters and Geddy Lee..

BulletTheory · May 4, 2006, 09:52 PM

Yup, I have so many bassplayers I like. 1st would be Jason Newsted (ex-bassplayer for Metallica), there is also Victor Wooten lolll... To many to say! But Flea is AWESOME!!

Zardon · May 5, 2006, 12:43 AM

I thought that was going to be a joke, until the kid started to play, man he is good !

Great song too, I remember that, also liked the jeff healey cover of it.........

Falstaff · May 5, 2006, 01:37 AM

who is that chap....
pretty dang good in a quiet pub on a rainy sunday kinda way..

Judas · May 5, 2006, 01:47 AM

that isn't a ukulele though... don't know what the actual name of it is...

all i know is he does ONE HELL of a damn good job... i could easily watch him preform.

Drakon · May 5, 2006, 02:57 AM

Bah! I gave up on RHCP. Got tired of listening to them sing about California

pr0digal jenius · May 5, 2006, 04:06 AM

i like some of their stuff, and can't stand others.

The new single is good, however [Danny California, I think it's called]

Drakon · May 5, 2006, 05:43 AM

Yes, in all their albums, there's always some reference to California. Bah! Enough already!

riles9262 · May 5, 2006, 06:42 AM

I haven't checked it out yet...too busy with the new tool and pearl jam albums, which rule.

Drakon · May 5, 2006, 07:05 AM

So Maynard's back with Tool. Did A Perfect Circle break up?

BWX · May 5, 2006, 08:45 AM

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=glance&n=5174

I bought that a loooong time ago- before I even had a PC I think.. I still have it kicking around here somewhere.

Falstaff · May 5, 2006, 08:49 AM

yeah...I think I have the old cassette laying about here somewhere...LOL

Aeroplane

Looking in my own eyes
I can't find the love I want
Someone better slap me
Before I start to rust
Before I start to decompose
Looking in my rear mirror
Looking in my rear mirror
I can make it disappear

I like pleasure spiked w/pain
Music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
It's my aeroplane

Sitting in my kitchen
I'm turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
The star of mazzy must
Push her voice inside of me
I'm overcoming gravity
I'm overcoming gravity
It's easy when you're sad to be

Just one note
Could make me float
Could make me float away
One note from
The song she wrote
Could fuck me where I lay
Just one note
Could make me choke
One note that's
Not a lie
Just one note
Could cut my throat
One could make me die

And lets not forget Dani California:

Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she was swinging hammer
Price you gotta pay when you pick the Panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world? What does your confidant take me for?

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Coming everyway saying baby whatcha gonna
Looking down the barrel of a hot metal forty five

Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest

She's a lover baby and a fighter
Should of seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Devils gonna come but I was gonna warn ya
A little lonely, she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest

Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew the hardest time to prove
Too true to say good bye to you
Too true to say say say..

Was the baiter gifted and a made her
One for the now and eleven for the later

Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunning for the quota

Down in the bad lands she was saving the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast..

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release,
California show your teeth,
She's my priestess, I'm your priest

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release,
California show your teeth,
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
