Does anyone really like the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Does anyone in RHCP have their own signature hot sauce though?

Probably.

Just put them on when you are cooking and everything will come out funky.

Chad Smith seems like the most likely to have a hot sauce because he played in Chickenfoot with Michael Anthony (who has a line of hot sauces) and Sammy Hagar (who has tequilas).

a band named the Red Hot Chili Peppers probably has a hot sauce

Their streaming stats are insane, they’re over the stones and Zep but below the Beatles

Sammy Hagar (who has tequilas)

...and is a full-blown restaurateur.

I Can't Chive 55

New Chi-Peps song sounds AN AWFUL LOT like the McDonald's Menu Song

which itself sounds like Life Is A Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me) by Reunion

Which influence is cooler?

This band really sucks, I hate hearing their music

looooooooooooooooooooool

omg

that is fucking HORRIBLE

excellent work peace, man

If you change the playback speed on the RHCP video to 1.25, it's almost a perfect match.

kill me now lord

Oof, that's what they came up with *after* John Frusciante came back?!

AVC: Did you see any Anthony Kiedis hairs in the shower drain or anything?
JM: No, there were a lot of System Of A Down stickers around the place, but that’s about it. No Chi-Peps stickers.

AVC: Did you just say “Chi-Peps”?
JM: Yeah, man. Jane’s, Chains, Peppers, and Rage, dog. Chi-Peps!

lol, I posted this w/o context 12 years ago, but that was James Murphy talking about recording in the Rick Rubin mansion.

How do you pronounce Chi-Peps?

like chai tea.

like Chia Pets

imo

Enough about their pubes!

Having just heard Walk This Way on the radio, I maintain that Aerosmith sets the Chili Peppers template. Not just a song like Last Child, which is totally proto Chili Peppers, but in other regards, too. You've got a gibberish jive spouting lead singer, you've got a singer and guitarist who struggled with heroin, the bassist is probably the most talented member ... Against all odds you've also got popular peaks in the 90s. They should tour together.

This is a quality take, excepting that Aerosmith don't have a ton of songs explicitly about Massachusetts, with titles like "Assachewsetts", "Boobston"; or "Fenway or My Way".

I mean, Anthony Kiedis had to have bruised his forehead when he realized Tyler beat him to "I wanna get high on the crack of that ass".

Sounds like Barenaked Ladies with a sick rhythm section

like, under the weather.

Sums up my reaction pretty well. At least "Dark Necessities" was kind of good. Bring back Klinghoffer.

i like this new song idk

the other one was very bad tho

I'm going to continue asserting that the first three albums are great along with at least half of BSSM and some of the singles afterward and then ignoring everything else that tips over into the corny pile

DJP's assertion seconded

I wouldn't have made that connection, but lol yes

For sure Norman Watt-Roy seems like a big Flea precursor.

my only hope for this album is that at least one song will contain a huge multitracked choir of frusciantes a la

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3-TO3CE2dY

I will always be bored by post-BSSM Peppers because they started writing music that forced Kiedis to actually sing and his voice sounds a young Mr Magoo on heroin

*sounds like

lmao i do not disagree or blame you for feeling that way (i fully understand djp's position on this band)

the other one was very bad tho

Between the two new songs, I liked "Black Summer" a bit more. Not saying much, as both of them are pretty unremarkable, but at least that one played to their strengths (i.e. Frusciante).

I think this should be the Chili Peppers album where Flea finally spits a verse and proves once and for all who the best vocalist in the band is.

the last minute of "poster child" is really dope, oh whoops i've singled out the portion containing zero kiedis

Covering old ground here — I've said all this before, but:

The debut is OK. The second and third albums are shockingly good compared with what they've been up to for the last...holy shit, thirty years. Mother's Milk has its moments; their cover of "Higher Ground" rules. I liked the first half of Blood Sugar Sex Magick when I first heard it, but there's not a single good song on it after "Give It Away." The entire second half is dross. And they've been terrible ever since.

Also, I saw them in '89 and had a blast; they were fun live. But a year later — on the Mother's Milk tour — the pit was full of thick-necked chuds in Duke U hats randomly punching people. That shift in audience (symptomatic of the shift from punk-and-"college rock" to "alternative" as lifestyle trend) soured me on them in a big way.

I think this should be the Chili Peppers album where Flea finally spits a verse and proves once and for all who the best vocalist in the band is.

"Under the Bridge" is a good song, I will fight about this

I prefer the Weird Al version of "Under the Bridge"/"Give It Away"

one hot minute is p good record

From his memoir:

I started coming up with funny little songs. One was gritty and bluesy, a kind of a rap, “A mama and a papa and a baby Lu, all got something for me and you, so wrap it up quick and put it in the oven, it’s comin’ out quick so don’t forget the stuffin’.” Who knows what it meant. I was singing it one day alone in my bedroom, all earnest and feeling the funk, when my sister walked in, mimicking me and laughing. I was so embarrassed I wanted to crawl into a hole and be alone forever. I’d been found out. A few years later, I was singing along to the Beatles version of “Till There Was You,” when my mother heard me and said, “Michael, that sounds horrible, you are so out of tune!” I’ve always been insecure about my singing voice.

Thirty-five years after that, I was doing a recording session with my friend Jewel when she asked about some songs I’d written and recorded a couple of years previously. It was stuff where I played acoustic guitar and sang, and she’d generously warbled backgrounds on it. I replied that I’d stopped that project, because I just didn’t have a strong singing voice. She said, “Flea, I think your voice is charming.” Then the producer of the session, Daniel Lanois, chimed in, “It could be charmingly bad!” Ha, I think Daniel was onto something.

I will always be bored by post-BSSM Peppers Chi-Peps because they started writing music that forced Kiedis to actually sing and his voice sounds a young Mr Magoo on heroin

poll idea: who is more annoying, anthony kiedis or james murphy?

Nobody outside New York gives a shit about James Murphy. Kiedis is a national — nay, global — embarrassment.
