Red Hot Chilli Peppers

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.

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

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

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, 02:43 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, 02:52 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!!
