DR DOOM Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 12 hours ago, wasted said: Stadium is like UYI it's everything they do. I'm with you is more pop or song based the guitar experimentalism or heroics arent there. But it's kind of an easy listen. There's still 4 great songs in Monarchy, Raindance, Look around, Brendan's Death song. So that is basically a good album these days. I love Ethiopia too. I'm into One Hot Minute right now because I never got it when it came out. My Friends is great. As previously mentioned, Stadium Arcadium is my fave of theirs...and previously One Hot Minute. LOVED Breaking The Girl at the time it came out and of course heard BSSM a hell of a lot at the time but Stadium Arcadium really hit home for me and I think there's a lot of gold on there.

wasted Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Definitely loved Stadium. Just felt it wasn't a step forward artistically. But there was a load of great stuff on both discs and I loved the concept. You must have to get to dome point success wise where the label just says 2cds? Great! I remember sitting in a jacuzzi in thailand for 3 weeks and all I had was Stadium and it was all I needed. Every morning I put on Dani California and cracked a beer at 8:30am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 They do have a lot of good albums after Mothers so it's pretty likely. But still it might be prescription drug friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 RHCP needs Frusciante and from judging Frusciante's releases post-The Empyrean, I think it's safe to say he needs RHCP too. The Empyrean is easily one of the best albums of the 2000s, better than anything the Peppers ever did but John the kind of shit John is releasing nowadays... Geez.. Maybe he should go back to a rock n' roll environment and rediscover the beauty of pop music, not even Aphex Twin is so abstract. As for the new RHCP songs: Meh. Californication, By the Way and SA are great, big influence on my guitar playing. From 1999 (Californication) to 2009 (The Empyrean) John released the best songs of his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frusciante is extremely disinterested in playing with RHCP/making pop music right now. If he ever decides otherwise, it won't be for a very long time. He's just in a completely different state of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 We Turn Red is pretty meh. Dark Necessities is the only one that I really like so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Dark Necessities kind of grew on me. I imagine this album could be better than I'm With You but completely underwhelming compared to Frusciante material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for the first two records tho since I still haven't heard them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it won't happen in our lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 We Turn Red is the first of the three that I would say didn't have to grow on me. It had me nodding my head the first time I listened. Feels like this album is going to very mellow. Maybe too mellow if all the songs are like these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I read a review that said all the songs are pretty much piano-ish ballads with not much guitar influence. So yeah it may end up being too mellow. We shall see I suppose.

Nicklord Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I love how they sound on this tour. I saw them at Rock im Park (amazing setlist, 2 new songs, Sir Psycho Sexy, Nobody Weird Like Me, Me and My Friends + hits) and it was much better than in 2012. From Pinkpop this evening. They played We Turn Red too and Wet Sand. Also AK "played" bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Wet Sand! Love how RHCP handles their set lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I don't mind it but I feel like it's about 90 seconds too long. I'm all for long songs if they go somewhere but I find I start tuning that song out by the 3:30ish point. It's just too long in my opinion.

Cosmo Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 The funny thing is the singles collection they released a while ago has some really solid songs that are better than The Getaway and We Turn Red like This Is The Kitt and Hanalei.

Zeppelin Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Not a fan of We Turn Red. The Getaway is okay. I really enjoy Dark Necessities. So, kind of an awkward beginning to the album for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
