Does anyone really like the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

except for that excruciating lyrics change from 'the city of Angels' to 'the city...of cities'

i might still like 'Breaking The Girl' but i can't offer any decent excuses for this.

that album cover and the new single and video are utterly awful.

keep their hedz ringing lex

otm, i'd love to see a reality show solely about cave watching tv and his reactions.

there may be a reason for that

what is the reason for that? Was it a collab?

I guess all their recent albums have had absoultely disgusting covers. This one takes the biscuit though. Looks like something I could knock up in powerpoint in about 15 minutes.

I read an interview where someone was making fun of Flea, saying that he wanted to keep living in Los Felix "because he thought it was more 'punk rock,'" but then Kiedis or someone convinced him to move to Malibu... ha ha.

Chili Peppers angry at album leak

US rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers have hit out at a music "pirate" who leaked their new album, Stadium Arcadium, onto the internet.

Bass player Michael "Flea" Balzary said the group would be heartbroken if fans downloaded it illegally before its official release.

Stadium Arcadium, the band's first studio album in four years, is due to go on sale next week.

A spokeswoman for the band said she did not know who leaked the album.

'Poor quality'

In a letter on the band's website, Flea wrote: "For people to just steal a poor sound quality version of it for free because some asshole stole it and put it on the internet is sad to me.

"I cannot put in words how much this record means to us, how sacred the sound of it is to us, and how many sleepless nights and hardworking days we all had thinking about how to make it be the best sounding thing we could.

"Now for someone to take it and put it out there with this poor sound quality it is a painful pill for us to swallow."

The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Radiohead, Oasis and U2 are among the other stars who have fallen victim to internet leaks.

Falling CD sales have been blamed on piracy but an industry campaign to prosecute illegal uploaders has struggled to contain the problem.

In the US, people who copy music and films before their official release date face up to 11 years in prison under the 2005 Family Entertainment and Copyright Act.

is it really their first in four years?!! It feels like Californication only came out quite recently.

"Now for someone to take it and put it out there with this poor sound quality it is a painful pill for us to swallow."

Worst imitation of Lars Ulrich yet.

lol! They couldn't get their Megadrive to work...

ALSO THIS

Okay, so are you going to tell us who is your second favorite band from Cali?

what year did the first malkmus album come out - i remember enjoying that a lot more than californication at the time...

i think one hot minute is a good album though, always had a soft spot for it. it's kinda prog rock in many ways.

That's not all that strange. It's usually 3-4 years between their albums, ever since Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

Love him or hate him. You HAVE to love those pants.

Everything about Stadium reeks of a coddled, multiple-platinum-sellling band dictating terms to their record company, indulging in their guitarist's peccadillos.
