You cant compare RHCP with Britney or Nsync, Dude. The Peppers conqured new musical area with their music, so their popularity is alright. In contradiction to Brit they make proper music for 10+ years now. Shes just a media doll to make money with and she will be gone 1-2 years.

for me the earlier the better..that's when they still had balls..though wrapped in socks they may be...
Mothers Milk may be a good compromise between the earlier and later stuff..It's got Higher Ground..my favourite track..and a cover of Hendrix's Fire as well..

An awful band. A joke band. Never to be taken seriously. Set the trend for all those god-awful nu-metal bands. Cringeworthy funk metal. Sets my teeth on edge every time kleidis tryies to do one his raps. NEVER LIKE MUSIC PLAYED BY MEN IN SHORTS. NEVER!

I really dislike Anthony's singing and lyrics on most of the songs. But i still listen to RHCP alot, because the songs are great. John Frusciante is a fantastic guitarplayer! I'm convinced he wrote the last album almost entirely by himself :-p

"(i though to record only water for ten days its pretty good)"
i still haven't heard that one :-( When it was just released lots of stores has stocked loads of that album, and i felt sure it would be available for half price or less in no time... but it's been awhile since the release now, and it's still not avaiable cheap anywhere ;-)
I think i might have to pay the full price for it.
I've only got "Niandra LaDes and Usually Just A T-Shirt" which continues to amaze me. What sounded like an incoherent, crazy mess the first time i listened, has become one of my favourite albums of all time! There is so much beauty to be found in there!
First time i listened i was also disgusted by his singing, but even that has grown on me :-) I like that solo-album even better than the RHCP-stuff! RHCP are like watered-down Frusciante ;-) (but still great)

yeah, i can agree with that. I can't help but wonder what wonderful music could have been created if frusciante had joined another (better) band... but as it is i'm happy with the RHCP. They are definitly easier to listen to than the solo-stuff. I have to be in the right mood to listen to that.

well, i still prefer blood sugar over any frusicante release
and also i think (this will sound terrible) frusicante is a bit slow (perhaps drugs did that to him) to take a major part in any band
but, looking forward to his next release...

hehe, i know what you mean ;-) I have seen an interview with him during his "dark years" (when he left the chili peppers and was a total heroine-addict)... and it was really weird. He kept saying crazy stuff like "i can prove that 0 is bigger than 7" or (when asked where he lived these days) "well i have this house, but then there's also the house inisde the mirror"... and constantly contradicting himself etc.... a very strange man. I don't think anyone would have been able to hear his music if the rhcp hadn't taken him by the hand.
I hate "give it away" so much... it almost ruins that entire album for me. But then again it also has "under the bridge", which is one of my favourites. Overal i really like the album, but i prefer frusciante's solo-album.

He did a show hear in holland a couple of months (years) ago. But it was sold out in less then two hours!! :-o
Needless to say i was too late and wasn't able to buy a ticket :-(
Supposedly he played for 2 hours, and afterwards just stepped into the crowd and talked to all his fans for another 2 hours... jesus, i would have loved to have been there! But i really didn't expect him to sell out so quickly (hell, i didn't even think he'd sell out at all :-)).
I used to have two vcr's... but sadly one of them is broken now for a long time :-( Otherwise i would have made you a copy of the interview. It was indeed very funny :-p
(he also played lots of songs, also the first song he ever wrote (when he was 6!), and a cover of the rolling stones "angie", where he sang "anthony" instead of angie ;-)). But as it is, i can't make copies of videotapes anymore.

They're a great band, one of my favs, seen em twice live. They've gone through major turmoil in their careers, and have withstood the test of time (almost 20 years now!). Frusciante is an amazing guitar player and Flea is one of the greatest bass players of all time.
All their albums are good, BSSM is a classic, I'de say get that one first.

yeah, I know p-funk, they were the innovators of a whole new branch o funk, so it's difficult to say that anyone ripped them off. Flea's bass style is greatly influenced by slap and funk, and their early stuff like Mother's Milk definetly had a little p-funk influence to it, but it wasn't the same. They put their own flavor too it, and each album since has had somewhat of a different style, but their roots are definetly in funk rock.

that's your opinion... I disagree, you can't say that anything with similiar styles are rip-offs of each other, especially in this case (I've heard them both, and there are many differences).
