ONLY Red Hot Chili Peppers General Discussion & Questions Thread

[Kartman]

As I said its all in his style of BSSM, it wouldn't sound good to double his tracks on that album. But I listened to it in full today and I realised it was alot less raw than the impression I had of it. RHCP, FS, UMPP are all more raw >.>
I think Blood Sugar Sex Magik is only a wee bit more produced as their 80's albums. Just a 'lil!

[hendriko]

^yea true...i like the way george clinton did freaky styley though..but i don't think the chili's will ever go back to that

[jtaylor]

From reading Scar Tissue it seemed like George Clinton was a pretty transperant producer, as in he let the band mostly do their own thing.

[untitled039]

Their next album should be a combination of SA and BTW with the production of BSSM. Also I don't think there is much need to worry about Josh joining the band because did Tree join the band when he played with them during MM era? Did those backing singers that they used during MM and OHM join the band? (They were pretty damn annoying though). If Josh was playing on every song, then I'd be annoyed but I'm fine with him playing on only a few songs as long as it stays like that. To me, Josh is a spitting image of MM John.

[hendriko]

^well yea, but just to work with a guy like that must be..inspiring?

i think he won't be producer for them again unfortunately...and i really hope john uses that glassfretboard guitar on the next album

[jtaylor]

^
^I don't think the production will at all be like BSSM in this day and age...

^ Agreed on the inspiring factor, and John would probably use it on a solo or two.

[samoo]

Fru and the Wu? No wai. Pics or it didn't happen.
:p:

"Last June, we posted information that John Frusciante has been working with Raekwon on his upcoming solo effort "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II". Yesterday HHNLive.com released a rumoured tracklist. According to their note John contributed to a track entitled "The Brass", which was produced by RZA and also features Ghostface Killah.
This contribution is a result of the work RZA did together with John in his studio. Supposedly there were five Beats captured. RZA, as well as Raekwon and Ghostface Killah are member of the Wu-Tang Clan. Rumours are that there is going to be released a 3-CD set in 2007, containing two discs worth of new material. Though, if any of John's recordings were used for this as well, is uncertain yet."

Have you guys read this absolute BULL****! It is a travesty!
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/bands_that_should_break_up.html

I mean the Chili Peppers bit, I really want Oasis to break up, snot nosed Gallaghers, they dont even deserve to be famous, jerk offs /rantoff

[Gibson_Rocker13]

^yeah i read that and thought it was pure bull****

[Drmckool]

i know they say that the chilli peppers died after john quit but when john came back he got so much better

[Ataxia]

Californication was a rebirth for the Peppers. Everytime I listen to that album I have visions floating around in my head of love, happiness and a warmth emitting.

This guy can suck a fat guy's ****.

i thought i was the only one who thought that:p: i guess not :D

[Drmckool]

californication is my least favorite CD right next to the self titled actually but it has some good tracks on it, it just doesn't do it for me like Bssm, Mother's milk, Umpp, Freaky Styley or Stadium Arcadium

Around the world, otherside, Californication, Scar tissue are all great but some songs kind of get on my nerves on this CD

[rustymoore91]

^12,000 post dude! Congrats. :peace:

And ya, they (meaning John) just started bringing him in for this year's European tour, to play 2nd guitar in some of their songs (since John does layering for some of them). His name his Josh Klinghoffen (or something like that). Hardcore Peppers fans have grown to hate him, because it seems like he has become a 2nd member, and could become permanent. Basically, he is threatening the chemistry of the band. And he shares all of John's mannarisms and even guitar tone and voice. He reminds me of that little kid that tags along with the school bully, but is actually a complete wimp.


wasn't john like that with Hillel in the early days? lol

JOKE!

yea Josh is annoying...grrr that guy he better go away :peace:

[Drmckool]

he doens't annoy me that much really though if he becomes a permanent member i will have him killed

[Gibson_Rocker13]

lets just say josh did join the band (i know its a fear for most of us), how do you think the bands sound would change and what direction would they go in? i personally think that theyd end up focusing more on guitars, have way more solos and experiment with their music more

[Kartman]

I think their next album would be very prog-rock like, sort of like a Tool album but less dark. Almost like One Hot Minute but not quite as heavy, which might be a good thing.

[mosesbrown]

wasn't john like that with Hillel in the early days? lol

yes.

[rustymoore91]

i think its very unlikely that Josh will be a permanent member anyways. He does contribute to live performances too with synth and guitar, all the focus is still on john. I thought it was quite funny, Josh stood far away from the band on stage at live earth lol, perhaps an idication he won't be a member

[hendriko]

Ya, Californication is my favorite Peppers album. Its a great piece of work.
i really don't like it...that much:p:
it seems..i dunno, just not what i enjoy listening to anymore
the songs are good, but since i have them all live at hyde (at least the ones i really like) i hardly listen to the album anymore...

[gonzaw]

Californication was a rebirth for the Peppers. Everytime I listen to that album I have visions floating around in my head of love, happiness and a warmth emitting.

This guy can suck a fat guy's ****.

The only thing I agree with that guy is that BSSM is the best masterpiece of the 90's...and that the first half of TUMPP is teh sex (although the second half is too :p: ).
Oh...and that they kick ass live too(if that is what he suggested :p: )

wasn't john like that with Hillel in the early days? lol.

So I guess that if John dies now we know who will take his place :p:

There can only be one Jesus...and besides Jesus cant die, silly! :p:

Also if Josh would become permanent, which is unlikely, I'd like look at him in a proffessional photoshoot with the chilis and I'd be like "Whats it doing? *pushes josh off screen with finger*" :stickpoke ....Id go crazy in other words :wtf:

[hendriko]

i have nothing against josh, but i hope he doesn't become a pepper...and i think it'll never happen

[IHATECHILDREN]

I think their next album would be very prog-rock like, sort of like a Tool album but less dark. Almost like One Hot Minute but not quite as heavy, which might be a good thing.
Naw.

It would sound like a John Frusciante album. Like Shadows. Exactly like that. Because now, instead of one hippie dictating the band, there would be two.
So I guess that if John dies now we know who will take his place :p:
.............................................. :sad:
Oh my god...I hate Josh so much. Go away, damn it.

I don't want Josh to be a pepper...I mean, he never went to stage wearing a sock. And he is no funky monk... :( :p:

That's right! Socks on cocks are like RHCP initiation.
I know Dave did the sock thing a couple times.

[Ataxia]

I think the Chilis tested Dave by making him wear the lightbulb costumes for Woodstock. Or at least that's what I recall AK saying in Scar Tissue.

[sebastian_96]

Yeah Cali.'s music is some of their best but the production was really shotty....but maybe that's what they were going for? :confused:

BSSM or OHM was some great producing IMO, it works so well on every level.

SA was quite over-produced :p:

EDIT: :haha I got unmastered Cali. ages ago from Ataxia ( :heart: ) still need unmastered BSSM though....

[BerryTree]

granted if he produced the album like say for example BSSM, the album would be the best without a shadow of a doubt...I'm dying to here these unmastered tracks. (FINISH DOWNLOADING DAMNIT :mad: )

wow, I just listened to one of the unmastered tracks (Parrallel Universe, which imo was the worst song hampered by the production) Big Big difference, I'm loving this.

It sounds like scratching to me...

And I could never really get Fortune Faded, as a song. Its OK, I guess, but not anything special.

[Gibson_Rocker13]

^i never really liked fortune faded until i saw them preoform it live. really opened my eyes to how great it was

[Ataxia]

I love Fortune Faded. My only fault I find with is it that it always comes on too loud for my liking. The riff John plays is gorgeous.

[samoo]

Fortune Faded is, to me, one of the only songs that has very high production and sounds perfect. also, Save The Population deserves more recognition. i love that song.

[Kartman]

^I'm not really into that song as well as Save The Population.

I've noticed that By The Way's production was really stripped down too (with the exception of the orchestra in Midnight). I'd be satisfied with a new album like By The Way.

[Ataxia]

By the Way is a wonderfully satisfying listen. It is one of the Pepper albums I can completely enjoy in terms of audio production and flawless music.

Another By The Way would be brilliant. You best be reading this boys. Oh and make sure Josh isn't involved please. I've also got a question about John's red Strat, is it vintage or a MIA or something else entirely? I've always wondered but haven't asked, I assume it's vintage as most of his guitars are.

[Kartman]

^I'm also going to say vintage, because we all know that Fr00sh is a vintage-whore.

fair dos. i dig that kind of sound. i wouldn't have said no to an entire album like that. prefer that style to the SA style. hmm, probably anyway.

about By The Way ... yeah, that's true. i miss Anthony's semi-raps which were brilliant on that album.

Thats what we have Tell Me Baby and Storm IN A Teacup for, though, remember?

My guess says he wont rap at all on the next album.

Oh, and BTW (no pun intended): RHCP94 is now out of the contest. That means it is only Kartman and DownInAHole.

another BTW type album production wise would be good...but I like John's guitaring on SA and Flea's bassing on SA then on BTW.

AK and Chad were fine on BTW though...so if they mix everything they have got onto the next then.....*orgasm* :D

and Minor Thing is such a great song....they should play it live more, I've only seen it on YouTube live once on some MTV thing.

Where is RHCP94? :sad:

1. I dont like Minor Thing. I mean, its OK, but they dont need to start playing it.
2. I've been talking to him a lot. He was tired of the speed and comotion of UG so he decided to take a break. Who knows if he will return...

AK was sick but still did alright....they did godd but it wasn't anything special as it seemed they just wanted to get it over and done with, like they didn't really wanna be there IMO

[jtaylor]

^ was alright... Really short, its up on youtube.

Listening to BTW again now, I forgot how good This Is The Place is, Johns backing vocals and that pedal he uses are so good hes all like 'Woh Wooh' and such. I've always been disappointed by Fleas bass lines on BTW :( They're alright, just not as good as the other albums.

[sebastian_96]

Yeah...they all sound the same (besides This Is The Place, Can't Stop and Don't Forget Me)

[gonzaw]

Fucking yes! I completely agree with that! I love that part on Minor Thing!

Don't forget The Zephyr Song :)
Minor Thing is great..I like that solo and the Mozart part....
Wow...I've been starting to play Cabron...such a good song :D

I would still like something like OHM and BSSM.....although some Turn it Again here or there wouldn't be a problem either.... :p:

[sebastian_96]

an album like OHM mixed w/ BSSM and some SA would be their best album ever, but we all know that would NEVER happen :sad:

[gonzaw]

^Well....just call Clinton and Dave up ;)

[sebastian_96]

Dave was good but I would be cranky at RHCP if they had Dave instead of John on the next album...and I think G Clinton should produce the next album, would be interesting to hear!

[hendriko]

i just hope they do something completely new...no by the way II or something:mad:

[sebastian_96]

True....something new would be nice to hear, I would like to see more psychedelic in there.

How was the Chili Peppers' performance?

Honestly, I was a tad disappointed. The only song I saw them play was Dani California, and the performance was fine, I was just disappointed when John didn't play the solo.

Don't forget The Zephyr Song :)
Minor Thing is great..I like that solo and the Mozart part....
Wow...I've been starting to play Cabron...such a good song :D

I would still like something like OHM and BSSM.....although some Turn it Again here or there wouldn't be a problem either.... :p:
I love playing Cabron. It's a relatively challenging piece when you first get the hang of it and it's got a real nice melody to it. I love the fact that it's a Spanish-styled, cheery song musically but about gang violence and the ghetto lyrically. That was incredibly genius on Anthony's part.

True....something new would be nice to hear, I would like to see more psychedelic in there.
If Josh sticks with them, I could see some more psychedelic stuff on the way. Although I'm still completely against that.

Also, I always check their LastFM page every day to make sure the idiots there aren't kicking up too much of a fuss. Sadly, today there is one in particular complaining about the Chili's tour schedule and how badly planned it was.

LastFM is a website that stores up your music charts so you can see what you've listened to, your listening trends and boosts a huge library of potential recommendations for you! The link to my LastFM charts is in my signature. I'll copy&paste what he left in the Chili Pepper shoutbox.

Idiot-Guy
Then maybe they should plan their tours better? If they can't give 100%, why play at all? The audience shouldn't have to take that, since we actually pay to see them, and they get payed to play. You can't really come with fanboy arguments like "they've toured alot".

Myself
They're playing all these shows to satisfy you and to get their music out to as many people as possible. If they weren't touring enough and didn't visit Sweden or whatever Eastern Euro ****-hole you'd ****ing complain. Be thankful they even took the time to travel so extensively. No-one made you buy a ticket. No-one made you go see them.

Idiot-Guy
No point arguing with a fanboy; it's not like you even were there or will try to see the other side of the story. :) It was ****ty. Really ****ty. That is all.

Myself
What's the other side of the story then? Tell me. Have the Chilis...sold out and feel like ripping you off for your money!? Did Flea and AK get together earlier this year and say; 'Hey, we're running outta money, let's go play some cheap-ass shows in Sweden'. I THINK NOT. Anthony is ill, he mentioned this explicitly on Saturday. They've been touring extensively for nearly two years now...

Idiot-Guy
First, I said I won't argue with a fanboy, so this will be my last post here in the shoutbox. The fact that you call it a "cheap-ass" show in Sweden, when it was at the Roskilde festival in Denmark, one of the two biggest festivals in Europe, just further proves my point about fanboyism. Oh, and I hope the next time you go see your beloved chilis live they'll perform as bad as they did at Roskilde

Myself
No, you clearly did not understand my use of sarcasm in the use of 'cheap-ass', and even my completely fabricated conversation between Flea and AK. Jesus, you need a reality check my friend. Sure, they may have performed badly but they have a completely legit excuse to do so. They have no binding contract to give 110%. If they're feeling bad//ill, it'll show. **** you, you ain't no Peppers fan.

------

I was probably a little harsh but I just cannot do with people who flame a band for one bad show for whatever legit reason there is.

[sebastian_96]

Pfft...he fails!

Why wasn't I'll Be Your Domino on SA...it pwns almost most songs on SA :confused:

Silly Rick Rubin and RHCP...as good as they are they are shocking at choosing tracks for albums!

[EroticShock]

A lot of people from the recent shows have been showing some bad vibes. Just for one concert?! Another idiot posted on the official site saying that they deliberately did a bad show because they don't like the country their in. I mean, what the hell!? And the usual setlist complains which annoys the hell out of me. No idea when they'll get satisfied. I mean it's good enough that you saw them, just enjoy it! While there are those (like me) who has no chance on seeing them :(

Some people are just jerks like that. They don't get that traveling one day on a plane for 9 hrs is tiring it drains the life outta you, jus try doing that a couple times a week. With all the foreign altitudes, shows, foods, and just being in a place completely unknown to you must be difficult, just try doing that for a year. Just cause your famous doesnt mean your perfect.

On a more joyful topic, which album had the best b-sides? IMO its probably BTW, maybe Cali(mostly because of Quixoticelixer :heart: ). Then probably OHM or SA.

[sebastian_96]

Well for me it's Cali. because Quixoticelxier is one of them and it's my favourite RHCP song, and it also has Over Funk, Instrumental #1 and #2, How Strong, Fat Dance...they are all pwnage!

[rustymoore91]

Well for me it's Cali. because Quixoticelxier is one of them and it's my favourite RHCP song, and it also has Over Funk, Instrumental #1 and #2, How Strong, Fat Dance...they are all pwnage!


true dat! (however..fat dance gets on my nerves a little lol)

[EroticShock]

Do a fat dance
Do a fat dance
Do a do a do a fat dance!

:D


Quixoticelixir is my favorite b-side of all time. :heart:

[Ataxia]

Oh man. Quixoticelxier is a gorgeous song, possibly my favourite B-Side. But then...I like the BSSM B-Sides purely for Sikamikanico. D:

[sebastian_96]

Yeah but Quixoticelixer is the most genius song RHCP have ever made...my all time favourite song! :heart:

Sikamikanico is quite punk-ish...I really dig it :p:

[Ataxia]

Quixoticelixer and Save the Population have some of John's best harmonies IMHO. So, is anyone seeing the Peppers on their last few tour dates this Summer?

[EroticShock]

There are 3 left right? One is Leeds which is their very last tour date. I feel so sad that I didn't get a chance to see them in this tour :(

[Ataxia]

Yeah, all three are in the UK. I'll be seeing them at Leeds on the Sunday. The very last tour date for SA :D Let's hope AK feels better and they do something special!

[jtaylor]

Ataxia, you were being reasonable. The mere fact that he won't listen to you because your a fan is unreasonable, and douchebagy. You were stating all these arguments and he is like, LULZ, Y LISTEN 2 FaNBoI?

[sebastian_96]

Top 5 John singing in RHCP songs...thing:

1. Dosed
2. Quixoticelixer
3. Save The Population
4. Knock Me Down
5. Don't Forget Me

[Ataxia]

1) Quixoticelixer
2) Fortune Faded
3) Otherside [Live]
4) Save the Population
5) Under the Bridge [Live]

[samoo]

Fucking yes! I completely agree with that! I love that part on Minor Thing!
:p: exactly.

also, Behind The Sun is so trippy and cool. the guitar and everything is just perfect. i'm beginning to appreciate Hillel a lot more. has anybody heard What Is This? (Hillel's other band).... i hear their EP was amazing.

thanks to whoeever posted this site (http://www.rhrsandse.narod.ru/dai.htm) everybody should get that jam session at the top of the audio page!
"Tape given by James Slovak.It is still unknown, if those tapes were recorded by RHCP or WHAT IS THIS? band, but all in all Hillel and Jack took part on those ones."
fudgin' great jams.

[sebastian_96]

I shall check it out :D

[IHATECHILDREN]

Top 5 John harmonies

1. Dosed

3. Sir Psycho Sexy
4. Venice Queen

And also, those demo tapes are awesome. I think its the Peppers, but its kinda hard to tell.

John& Flea. :cool:

I wish Flea sang more hamonies, he's very good at holding those middle notes.

[sebastian_96]

I find he's better at chanting (One Big Mob-esque)

but thats my opinion.

[Ataxia]

Watch this if you want persuading:

I Get Around cover (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PTZyIoFfDHE)

:p:

[IHATECHILDREN]

John& Flea. :cool:

Keyword: John.

But I wish Flea did more harmonies, too. Like on their live cover of I Get Around: That is still my favorite B-side live. Its a very good cover.

[samoo]

And also, those demo tapes are awesome. I think its the Peppers, but its kinda hard to tell.
hmm not sure. i think it's What Is This. i may have imagined it but aren't there vocals on the first track? they sound like What Is This's singer.

what single was I Get Around on? By the Way era wasnt it?

[Kartman]

this is my wallpaper:

I think so...but I just downloaded it off the Venicequeen site. So Im not really sure.
She's got some man hands.
:haha I love how that's the first thing you notice.

And BTW: I dont know if you got the memo or not, but its just you and DownInAHole. in the contest now. RHCP94's out.

[Kartman]

^She's still hot.

God Damn it, I think Sebastian posted that to try and foil my victory. It seems like DownInAHole hasn't been here for awhile, so who knows his status.

[samoo]

^ thanks


challenge for link people: anyone know a place where i can get the Squeezed EP by What Is This? if you can find somewhere, you will be the greatest person ever. maybe.

[Kartman]

^Which label released Squeezed EP? This is just out of curiosity.

[IHATECHILDREN]

^She's still hot.

God Damn it, I think Sebastian posted that to try and foil my victory. It seems like DownInAHole hasn't been here for awhile, so who knows his status.
I dont think DIAH ever masterbated to begin with.

And Ataxia probably has the link to that EP. Although I do not know the label...

[Kartman]

^:haha

We all know DIAH is actually a computer virus.

[Ataxia]

I dont think DIAH ever masterbated to begin with.

And Ataxia probably has the link to that EP. Although I do not know the label...

I'm afraid this one has stumped me. :p: ;)

[untitled039]

hmm not sure. i think it's What Is This. i may have imagined it but aren't there vocals on the first track? they sound like What Is This's singer.

what single was I Get Around on? By the Way era wasnt it? I saw a video of it a while ago and I'm sure it was during all the SA promo stuff just before last summer. BTW, Body of Water has the best John harmonies on it, they have to have a song on the next album with John singing lead vocals on it, it would be too awesome to be true

[Kartman]

I saw a video of it a while ago and I'm sure it was during all the SA promo stuff just before last summer. BTW, Body of Water has the best John harmonies on it, they have to have a song on the next album with John singing lead vocals on it, it would be too awesome to be true
I don't think that'd be a good idea. It might put John on too much of an ego trip. I say if you want to hear John have lead vocals, buy Inside Of Emptiness.

[Ataxia]

Putting John on lead vocals would further push AK [and possibly Flea] out of their own band. :(

[untitled039]

That reminds me, Flea should do another 'Pea' style song

[samoo]

^Which label released Squeezed EP? This is just out of curiosity.
MCA Records according to wikipedia.

somebody must have it!

[Virage]

Why would they give John lead vocal on a song as he does his own solo stuff. I doubt he'd want to anyway.

[untitled039]

If John didn't have his solo career, I don't think he'd be as happy in the band as he is now, he would probably want more singing duties that he couldn't have and we'd probably have something similar to what happened during the BSSM tour

[IHATECHILDREN]

I'm afraid this one has stumped me. :p: ;)
Damn it...maybe Mister.Y can come through...

And giving anyone besides Anthony lead vocals is a terrible idea. Especially John. I mean, he's already taken up a much bigger role the past two albums, giving him lead vocals would basically create a Roger Waters situation with the band. And no one would be happy, because John's own ego would grow, making the rest of the band angry, and then he would be angry because the band is angry.

But I do see Josh being featured on one song next album. As both a rhythm guitarist or backup vocalist. And Omar Rodriguez-Lopez as well. But none of Anthony or Flea of Chad's friends. They arent important enough. :rolleyes:

[mosesbrown]

Well considering Chad is friends with the Dixie Chicks, AK is friends with models under 20, and Flea is friends with alot of the same people as John (The Mars Volta, Perry Farrel...I think) I think that John's friends might be a little more qualified.

[Ataxia]

Well considering Chad is friends with the Dixie Chicks, AK is friends with models under 20, and Flea is friends with alot of the same people as John (The Mars Volta, Perry Farrel...I think) I think that John's friends might be a little more qualified.

Lmfao, really?! Didn't he session on one of their albums!? Oh man, I'm sorry but when I read this the first thing I thought of was Chad, a beer and the Dixie Chicks in the same bed. :p:

Anthony, Flea and John have alot of friends in the rap//hip-hop world too - such as Wu Tang Clan.

[hendriko]

Pfft...he fails!

Why wasn't I'll Be Your Domino on SA...it pwns almost most songs on SA :confused:

Silly Rick Rubin and RHCP...as good as they are they are shocking at choosing tracks for albums!
i didn't like i'll be your domino that much tbh...alright but nothing overly great

There are 3 left right? One is Leeds which is their very last tour date. I feel so sad that I didn't get a chance to see them in this tour :(
ah that sucks:sad:

i saw em:p:
Watch this if you want persuading:

:p:
thats old...was on the b-side site

this point goes to mister.y

She's got some man hands.
:haha

<_<
>_>

she does

[Ataxia]

And what did Mister.Y post up Hendriko? And was I even trying to out-link him?

No! :p:

[hendriko]

<_<
>_>

bsides page?



:haha

nah...great stuff you got there
i don't wanna know how you get it though:p:

[Ataxia]

:haha, we're rather mixed up here.

Tthe Beach Boys cover as we were discussing harmonies and Flea holding the middle notes. It wasn't to do with B-Sides or competing with Mister.Y :D

There wasn't any current competition on t3h linkages. Unless of course, we're searching out for the Squeezed EP?

[hendriko]

^wtf...i don't read threads...i just randomly reply..and i just thought you had posted it because its "new" or something

my apologies sir:down:


:haha

i'd like to hear what is this though

[Gibson_Rocker13]

actally im quite interested in what is this? as well now.

[Kartman]

Im not all that interested in the Squeezed EP. Don't know why, I'm just not.

[sebastian_96]

I wanna hear it...would be good to hear what Hillel and Irons did outside of RHCP!

Oh and all this talk of John having lead vocals in a song....does Knock Me Down ring a bell to anyone....he was lead vox in the whole song!!

And yes Kartman she does have man hands :sad:
but I'd still tap it till my winky fell off :D
(I actually thought you said "She has man boobs" when I first read it and I nearly fell off my chair)

And they do I Get Around really, really well. First time I heard Flea actually sing well!

[Kartman]

Oh and all this talk of John having lead vocals in a song....does Knock Me Down ring a bell to anyone....he was lead vox in the whole song!!

:confused:

No he didn't. He sang parts with Anthony as a duet, but he didn't have lead vox.

[sebastian_96]

No he was lead on the song...it is actually both of them singing at the same time but in recording AK was turned down so you can mainly hear John throughout most/all of the song.

But playing live, AK is louder than John.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, Kartman! :D

[jtaylor]

Anyone heard the full version of Knock Me Down? I'm glad they cut those parts out...

[Kartman]

I like the full version so much better that I replaced it with the redone version as the album version on my iTunes.

[sebastian_96]

Really!?

I really don't like the full version....

[cagnius]

^12,000 post dude! Congrats. :peace:

And ya, they (meaning John) just started bringing him in for this year's European tour, to play 2nd guitar in some of their songs (since John does layering for some of them). His name his Josh Klinghoffen (or something like that). Hardcore Peppers fans have grown to hate him, because it seems like he has become a 2nd member, and could become permanent. Basically, he is threatening the chemistry of the band. And he shares all of John's mannarisms and even guitar tone and voice. He reminds me of that little kid that tags along with the school bully, but is actually a complete wimp.

Back from France for the day, leaving again tomorrow.

Josh only sounds like John because he uses his gear live. John was playing through a very similar set-up to John, using his White Strat.

Also, Paris was unbelievable.

Every single member was on fire, doing what they do.

I didn't sense any of this alleged 'tension' between the band that has been reportedly going on for a while. In fact, they boys just looked tired (you'd be too if you'd been touring for a year straight).


However, fantastic show and they never missed a note/beat.

Got some cracking pictures, I'll put them in here later.

[untitled039]

I like the short version better, but the long version is pretty good as well. Listening to shorter versions of songs make the long versions seem very dragged out though, listen to both versions of Sexy Mexican Maid, the long version sounds like it is just full of unnecassary parts

[sebastian_96]

^Same with Knock me Down....the extra parts seem unnecassary!
But both have bits I like and dislike so yeah...

And Josh was a good addition but I'm hoping he doesn't become a big part of RHCP.
John is like Josh's mentor which is cool but their has always been 1 guitarist in RHCP so I hope that stays

[untitled039]

You know since John's new solo album is supposed to come out at the end of the summer (I don't know how the hell he's gonna manage that) maybe he took Josh on tour to work on the new solo album with him as well as to play guitar, keys and what not

[sebastian_96]

Yeah true...maybe to get some work done and such!

I wonder how AK, Flea and Chad get along with him.

[hendriko]

knock me down original version = not that great mainly because that bass part between the lines of the chorus is missing:mad:

[untitled039]

I would think they get on pretty well, since they've known him since Cali era

I got a bootleg of that show, pretty awesome!

[Ataxia]

Ar wow, nice setlist. And ending with the Power of Equality! :D

[sebastian_96]

Nice setlist...but I like mine better!! smelly poo-poo

/childish taunting

[UtBDan]

I've gone before into how I think John is overrunning the band.

the squeezed EP... that's the one by What is this / Anthyhm, correct?


I think it's funny how the other guitarist in that band went on to be in Queens of the Stone Age. I didn't realize that until after I saw them live...

[sebastian_96]

Really!?
there you go

and yes I think John is overrunning the band alot...only just relised though :confused:

My Setlist from a while back seen so I was just talking about it:

That was from their aussie tour! That day had the best setlist of all aussie dates. Arghhh, lucky you! But anyways, the bootleg of that show was good. If You Have To Ask was great! :D

[sebastian_96]

Sure was...the greatest part was when my friend said after the greatness of Hump de Bump:

Him: "I can't wait till they play Suck my Kiss!"
Me: "They won't play Suck My Kiss!"
John Frusciante: *Plays verse riff of Suck My Kiss*
Me: :eek:
RHCP: *play Suck My Kiss*
Me: *ejaculation*

but I was so happy about the setlist, loved every bit of it :heart:
'Cept my friend kept bitching about how they didn't play UtB...n00b!

[EroticShock]

psychic! (spies from china...erm australia)

[sebastian_96]

:haha

but I'm really hoping they come back!!
such a great night...sitting next to some drunk guy and laughing at the pathetic opening act :p:

[EroticShock]

Ha! You got Har Mar Superstar :haha I heard he was very...entertaining

[sebastian_96]

Felt like more of a musical comedy act then a serious music preformance :haha

[jtaylor]

On the 19th someone threw something at him(was a 50c coin I think, the deadliest of all coins) and he collapsed. Then the drummer stopped and he said... Guys, hes dead, you killed him, good ****ing job. Then the crowd cheered and then he got up and kept on going.

[EroticShock]

:haha what the hell? He is entertaining, in a very idiotic way.

[sebastian_96]

Yeah...at ours someone threw an empty bottle at him and he said "PLASTIC CAN'T HURT ME SYDNEY!"
So someone threw a full 2 litre bottle of coke at him :haha

Funniest thing I've ever seen.
Also he got showbags, braclets, lighters and the works!

Very entertaining :p:

[EroticShock]

HAHA! Sounds like a lot of fun! I saw a pic of him almost naked O_O

[Cal UK]

This guy sounds quality! Was he supporting the Peeppers or what? Sorry, I've lost touch with this thrad again. BTw you like t3h new avatar?

[EroticShock]

Any John avatar is pwnage :D

He was the opening act during their Australian tour.

[sebastian_96]

^^That pic used to be on my MySpace in the heroes section...I got a new I think.

and he came out in his undies and a pink umbrella 0_o :puke:

and he put on pants and the crowd was cheering and stuff then he put on this frilly cowboy vest thing and everyone was laughing at him :p:

[samoo]

There wasn't any current competition on t3h linkages. Unless of course, we're searching out for the Squeezed EP?
i think you should be! :p: i've read many great things about it.

also, i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that Hillel didn't know theory. that can't be true, can it?

another question: does John use mainly pentatonic scales when he solos? i've been wondering.

[Gibson_Rocker13]

aww man the b-sides site is screwing me over and i cant get the songs to work properly...man this sucks :(

and to samoo, yeah, im pretty sure john uses mainly pentatonic scales when hes soloing

[sebastian_96]

Usually he does with, RHCP anway...

Hillel didn't know theory!?
that surprises me...John is a big believer of music theory!

[DownInAHole.]

aww man the b-sides site is screwing me over and i cant get the songs to work properly...man this sucks :(

and to samoo, yeah, im pretty sure john uses mainly pentatonic scales when hes soloing
Really? Hmm, mine work fine.... :confused:

:haha

And Im sure Hillel knew some theory. I mean, you kind of have to, right? Not extremely much, just a little.

[samoo]

yeah, i'm not entirely sure about that. i'm trying to find where i read it.

John played Take It As It Comes? That's kickass!

Although, after seeing RHCP early in their Stadium Arcadium Tour and comparing it to this, the sets were quite different. Since Stadium Arcadium came out relatively close to when I saw them (august of '06) they didn't stray too far into the Stadium Arcadium songs, we got mainly "the hits": Dani California, Snow, Stadium Arcadium, Warlocks, and Charlie. Compare that to this set, where you heard So Much I and She's Only 18. They're pretty different.

I think I would have liked to hear She's Only 18 live.

[cagnius]

I think I would have liked to hear She's Only 18 live.

It was awesome ;) .

Search youtube, I'm sure some Frenchy has put it up :p:.


If I had any criticisms of the show (and I'm really stretching here), it would be that they played Snow too slowly to allow Josh to play with them. Evidently, he can't play nearly as clean or as fast as John.

[Kartman]

Did they play the main riff in unison? Man, I could see that turning into a mess :p

Also, to mix it up a bit, After listening again, I think I'm growing fonder of Californication. I'm really loving I Like Dirt. Great fucking song. I wish they'd play it live again.

Also, I just got Yertle Trilogy live in my iPod and it's easily my new favorite song. Ever.

Although, after seeing RHCP early in their Stadium Arcadium Tour and comparing it to this, the sets were quite different. Since Stadium Arcadium came out relatively close to when I saw them (august of '06) they didn't stray too far into the Stadium Arcadium songs, we got mainly "the hits": Dani California, Snow, Stadium Arcadium, Warlocks, and Charlie. Compare that to this set, where you heard So Much I and She's Only 18. They're pretty different.

I think I would have liked to hear She's Only 18 live.
Yeah, well, I got like 3 pre-Cali songs. And 2 were in the encore. Huge bummer.

[Castlebravo]

Well I just started getting into RHCP a while ago and I only have 13 songs. They are:

Give it Away
Suck My Kiss
Under the Bridge
By The Way
Can't Stop
Around the World
Parallel Universe
Californication
Otherside
Fortune Faded
Dani California
Hump de Bump
Tell Me Baby

I'd like some recommendations on some more RHCP songs to check out, preferably those that are similar to the ones above, but I'm open to any suggestions.

[Ataxia]

Ok. Checklist for a RHCP Newbie.

Albums

- Blood Sugar Sex Magik
- By The Way
- Californication

...then if you really like these.

- Mother's Milk
- The Uplift Mofo Party Plan

...if you dig these too and feel you know some of their history and want to take a plunge

- One Hot Minute.

With these albums you'll be all set for beginning your path down into Chili Pepper love. But seriously, don't be afraid to come into this thread and ask for advice on the Peppers. There are plenty of us here who have so much knowledge on them. I'd rather not advise on specific songs as they work best IMHO together on one album.

[IHATECHILDREN]

^Nice chart. And ya, newbies, dont be afraid to ask us stuff. We're all pretty nice.

But here are some good songs that the guy two posts above didnt have, that would be nice to have:

-Me and My Friends
-Backwoods
-Higher Ground

Those are their best older songs. Nice if you want to get into their 80s stuff.

-Aeroplane
-Breaking The Girl
More exclusive songs, but still good.

[mosesbrown]

And if you're new to the Chili Peppers but you like Funkadelic skip straight to Freaky Styley because either way you'll have to realize that it's hands down their best work.

[hendriko]

and he came out in his undies and a pink umbrella 0_o :puke:

o_O
pics?:haha


I think I would have liked to hear She's Only 18 live.
same here...great song!

don't talk songs...talk albums!

[Gibson_Rocker13]

dont forget to mention the self titled debut!(although it isnt their best work)

[dylanspader]

yep i really like that album. ( has anyone else heard the rumors on the new album with george producing them again? :o)

[IHATECHILDREN]

Yes. It will never happen. Ever. Neverever.

[sebastian_96]

Yeah...they seem too fond of Rick Rubin! but Clinton would be really good too see do it :p:

I just relised I don't own their self-titled debut album :sad:
Is it any good...I've heard a couple (the demos are better IMO)

And I also just relised that I'm a regular here! YAY!

[jtaylor]

I really doubt it... Its been like 20 years. Rick Rubin would be heartbroken if they went to Clinton. :p:

[dylanspader]

Yes. It will never happen. Ever. Neverever.


oh well that sucks...

i've remember seeing you around on the rhcp.com board. haha

[sebastian_96]

Yeah he would go all emo and produce My Chemical Romance's new album and slit his wrists and dye his beard black and all.

/sarcasm.


But yeah he would be kinda cut I reckon...he's been with em too long, if he had another project going on they might call in Clinton.

[mosesbrown]

I really doubt it... Its been like 20 years. Rick Rubin would be heartbroken if they went to Clinton. :p:

I'll be heartbroken if they don't. :cry:

[sebastian_96]

Really?

I want another BSSM like album...I want the raw funk back. The only thing is AK and John don't want the funk :sad:

[IHATECHILDREN]

oh well that sucks...

i've remember seeing you around on the rhcp.com board. haha
Oh rite...you're Dylan?

Cool. :peace:

[hendriko]

problem is they all don't

i can imagine chad not even caring..he's just drumming:p:

flea is cool when there's peace and love and hippie stuff

john is cool when he gets to play guitar on the album

AK is singin and stuff..and just writing and happy

[sebastian_96]

True....but SA was...meh, to many skip-worthy tracks IMO.

I would really like to see AK/RHCP to write a song about James Brown...

[Love_Buzz]

well there's a line about him in Bicycle...*comes back and sees that nobody noticed that I was gone for like two weeks*...

[sebastian_96]

Bicycle?
You mean 'Bicycle Song'?

Are you sure that's about him?
I would still rather a whole funky song remembering his life seen so AK was fond of his work.

EDIT: I checked all of the Fortune Faded GuitarPro and Powertab tabs and none of them had acousic guitar during the chorus...IMO it's the loudest thing I can hear in the chorus besides the vox.

Can anyone else hear the acoustic guitar or am I tripping?

[Kartman]

Aaha, there's definately an acoustic in there.

[Kartman]

^I've never been a huge fan of that song. It's a little bland for me.

[sebastian_96]

I love it for the bass :D

[Ataxia]

I love it for the double stab of the bass&drums at the end of the chorus. In other news:

Prowowowow prowow prowowowow GET ON TOP...

[sebastian_96]

^:haha

Funniest thing I've read on here

[Ataxia]

To save the Johnny Fru thread:

I think the Peppers are well due for their rest after August. They've earnt it well, not many bands can and do tour the world several times over in support of their work. For all the haters out there, it just re-affirms my love for them over and over again.

[sebastian_96]

Exactly...they put 110% os what they have into shows...they are only human (besides Jesus), so you can expect some hiccups along the road

I would pay too see some of these bashers tour the world for over a year straight!
They would crash and burn!

[Ataxia]

Ahaha. Ahh, I'm in your sig. :D

Anywho, so what instrument do we all play and what are our favourite Pepper songs to play?! Personally, my favourite songs to play are; Around the World. Power of Equality. Mellowship Slinky in B Major. Emit Remmus and Universally Speaking on the bass. :)

[sebastian_96]

Yes you are :D

Guitar = Under the Bridge, Me and My Friends, Stone Cold Bush, Can't Stop

Bass = Otherside, Don't Forget Me (same notes really), Higher Ground, Can't Stop

[Ataxia]

Ohh Don't Forget Me. With all the fills too!? Flea does some pretty awesome stuff on that track that quite hard to pick out.

[sebastian_96]

Yeah...he is really overpowered during the chorus, his fuzz bass is always really quite IMO.

[EroticShock]

^I'm in your sig too! I feel loved :heart:

I can't get John's style on can't stop. I can't mute all the other strings, damn small fingers :(

[sebastian_96]

It took me a while to get the hang of it too...specially that I have a **** guitar (ESP Ltd Viper 50 :cry: ).

Just give it time...use what ever formation of fingers to get the right mute sound and all.

[MaltedMilk]

What about Soul to Squeeze, that had to be my abselute favorate song to play on bass.

[sebastian_96]

I should learn that...I really like that bassline.

But as of now I'm learning all of OHM on guitar...but first I need a wah pedal :p:

[Cal UK]

What about Soul to Squeeze, that had to be my abselute favorate song to play on bass.
The solo is really fun to play on guitar too, as well as being easy. I like to play Universally Speaking too that's fun, quite easy too.

[sebastian_96]

I really can't stand Universally Speaking...the drums irratate me and it's just too poppy for my liking, it's much better live though.

EDIT: A song that's never talked about is Slow Cheetah..it's very genius IMO. It's their best acoustic song and good vocal preformance by AK and John.

agreed. slow cheetah is just amaing. the acoustic is perfect in that song and the swells for the solo are chilling

[sebastian_96]

Yeah...the backwards guitar fits perfectly...adds to the gloomy effect of the song :D

[Kartman]

What about Soul to Squeeze, that had to be my abselute favorate song to play on bass.
I love playing it on guitar! It's got some fun chording!

Also:

Universally Speaking > Slow Cheetah

I've always skipped that song.
