Red Hot Chili Peppers

[Suedehead]

Been listening to them a lot recently, mostly because I had finally listened to Anthony Kiedis’ Scar Tissue audiobook (really good).
Realised that I actually was a big fan back in the day - particularly the Blood Sugar, One Hot Minute and Californication albums.
Sort of went off them after that and Stadium Arcadium really just killed them for me. Yuck!
Anyway, Unlimited Love is pretty good as far as their recent albums go and to be honest some of their earlier stuff is also quite influential.

I’ll be covering them soon in my 90s thread

 

[VoR]

Worst band EVER.

Except for Under the Bridge, which lets face it All Saints improved 1,000% on account of their ability to actually sing rather than HONK.

 

[Suedehead]

I think they're underrated actually!!

 

[Shoat]

The RHCP are largely TERRIBLE, and they were particularly insufferable in that period of the noughties when they became the default band for every basic bro who found the Foo Fighters too edgy

But the idea that All Saints did Under The Bridge better is one of the most wrong opinions I've ever heard

 

[Suedehead]

Oh they're deffo edgie than Foo Fighters no???
I mean
Foo fighters
EW!!

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh they do have some gems: Under the Bridge, Scar Tissue (bliss) and Zephyr (steady as it comes, etc). Who have I been listening to lately

 

[Suedehead]

Dark Necessities is beautiful

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh they're deffo edgie than Foo Fighters no???

Foo fighters

Learn to Fly is gross.

Everlong is a classic though.

 

[Suedehead]

I got myself into downward spiral the other day
I even watched Anthony Kiedis' Joe Rogan interview?!?!?!?!

 

[Suedehead]

Learn to Fly is gross.

Everlong is a classic though.

I liked their first album and that was it.

I'll Stick Around

I'm not really into him in full drag these days, but in his prime Anthony was so hot.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

I became aware of them around the time Scar Tissue was released. Haven’t followed up on what they have released since Stadium Arcadium.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

The run of singles: Otherside, Californication, Road Trippin’ and By The Way is unmatched!

 

[Suedehead]

I'm not really into him in full drag these days, but in his prime Anthony was so hot.

The bleach blonde Californication era did things to my bussy

 

[Suedehead]

I got into them when I was 13 and I borrowed a cassette of Blood Sugar from my gay bff at school
It was cool
Everyone went off them during One Hot Minute but as a contrary Mary I declared it better than BSSM (it wasn’t; but Pea was fun)
