"Scar Tissue" would be a pretty good instrumental, too bad about Kiedis's existence

The last five words of that sentence stand perfectly well on their own.

i think i was hating on rhcp on here a few years ago because i was living with my sister at the time and she likes them lol. anyway i like a few songs tbh. but one thing i don't really get is anthony kiedis hate? like he's just inoffensively druggy-white-guy funky to me, not even close to the worst example of that in socal bands that made it big afaic.

I just hate his voice. and mostly on newer RHCP, his staccato vox from early RHCP (which I'm still kinda into) were fine.

I make fun of them constantly, though it truly is just the vocals and lyrics that I can't stand.

Everything they've done since Blood Sugar has been garbage, Kiedis is just the easiest piece to make fun of in their slow jam/ballad era.

inexplicable that these goofs are still huge while nobody under 30 has any idea who R.E.M. are.
I was at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta last month, with the Georgia Bulldogs from Athens one of the two teams. they played like three RHCP songs in the stadium that night and nothing by R.E.M. or the B-52's. a travesty.

wait though, what would be the rem jam to play to a stadium of football fans?
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 04:07 (one year ago) link
"It's the End of the World as We Know It," obviously. Maybe "What's the Frequency." I dunno, just saying it felt all kindsa messed up.
It was UGA vs. Ohio State, should've played nothing but Elephant 6 and Ron House.

maybe The One I Love, too? stadium jams are such a strange genre

Looks like the University of Northern Iowa(??) did an R.E.M. show (audio here)

I know most fans hate it but the R.E.M. song that could in some realistic universe have been a stadium jam is "Stand."

OutKast has more stadium jams than REM or the B-52s.

Honestly the best stadium jam out of Athens GA is probably Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend."

Hero Worship or Runnin' Around could be slipped in as jock jams.

Scar Tissue is a great song btw

One of my students wrote beautifully about Scar Tissue last semester. I was a little dubious at first when she chose that song bc I had preexisting bias but she convinced me it was deeper than I thought.

Idk why anyone is talking about REM jock jams but I’d vote for Stand!
Orange Crush > Stand
― calstars, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 13:40 (one year ago) link
Turn You Inside Out could work, too. Or Finest Worksong, etc. Anything with big drums (which Stand lacks).

but what is the Pylon stadium jam?

For various reasons I have fallen into a hyperlocal music scene where 30-year-old people inexplicably love 30-year-old music.
Seriously RHCP is implicated in a seemingly inexhaustible well of 90s jams that the young adults apparently crave. Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Goo Goo Dolls, Counting Crows, Sugar Ray, Hootie, Killers, Smashmouth, Gin Blossoms, Foo Fighters.
I have sat in on drums with two bands that play this stuff and it is a complete mindboink.
It's like this - I load in, set up my kit, get a drink, look out at a normal bar crowd. Ho, hum, I've done this a thousand times and mostly get ignored. Then the band starts up with "Under the Bridge" or "All Star" and the place fucking EXPLODES. All of a sudden, five 20-something women in sparkly tank tops are going WOOOO and putting money in the tip jar and asking if we know any Coldplay and buying me drinks.
It's uncanny and I have no explanation for it. When this music was current I had no love for it (I'm an 80s creature) but I can play it all from memory without thinking. If I had known this was a thing, I wouldn't have bothered with half my repertoire.

Chili Peppers should do a "Shrek" song. Whether or not there's a new "Shrek" movie. Though for all I know, they're all "Shrek" songs. "Under the Bridge" is for sure about Shrek.

I really like Flea’s playing on higher ground, it sounds like he’s climbing a stairmaster
