SO TRUE! I was expecting much more, especially since before some of the commercial breaks the announcer would say that it would be an unforgettable performance that would have everyone talking about it the next day.
i know, i heard that and stayed up waaay past my bedtime to watch them. nothing exciting. :(
SA is a really hit or miss album. Lile others have said, it could have been a solid one disc album -- but the two discs make it very boring and unlistenable
got to agree with the original poster about the RHCP album being total crap. It's a real stinker IMO...2 discs and only about 4 songs that are of any quality.
As far as PJ at the grammy's well I got over that years ago Look at how ridiculous RHCP looked on the grammys next to Beyonce and P-Diddy! I don't want Pearl Jam to ever go back to the grammys...fuck em because it's a completely worthless award. I agree with what Ed said the first time they went:
"I dont' know what this means....I don't think it means anything"
right on Ed!!
“May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.” - Frank Sinatra
Grammys were a joke and so are the RHCP...sorry if this steps on anyones toes but they look like over the hill men trying to hold on to the pop world one to many California songs at a time
thank god PJ doesnt do this and stays true to themselves and us as fans...only thing i agree with is when they won their last award they told young kids to start rock bands because we need more of them
Dixie Chicks are overrated!!! and Natalie Maine needs a sausage permanently stuck in her mouth
Pepper's are sellouts now, I don't blame them, their getting old, but I will say that performance last night made me yawn twice, boooooooring, Is it me or have the Grammys become the MTV music awards (2) I mean give me a break Dixie Chicks wins for best Album and such is nothing more than a political statement from the Grammy Voters--ANTI BUSH statement and who more personafies this in the music industry than Dixie Chicks, I guess, if this was the criteria, Pearl Jam should have swept the awards.
I completely disagree. There's no little to no variety on the VMAs now. It's pretty much one giant rap concert. You'd never see country music performances on the VMAs. Nor would you have seen something as subdued as the Corinne Bailey Rae, John Mayer, John Legend performance on the VMAs. I thought it was a very good show overall.
As far as the Dixie Chicks are concerned, I happened to think it was a VERY good album. I wonder how many people here who are bashing it have actually heard it. I'm not saying YOU didn't, I just mean in general.
personally i love SA, and people who come out with things like they are shit are talking bull. Nobody can deny that Frusciante, Flea and Smith are amazing musicians, but unfortunately the band seems to pander to the record label when it comes to choosing singles. Dani Cali, Snow and Tell Me Baby are the 3 worst tracks on SA. There are some great tracks on the album if you are wiling to give it a chance. Not every track is a mundane pop song.

Why was the new album up for any grammys, the album is really shitty, compared to there other stuff its crap, and its up for album of the year, what a joke, i am glad pearl jam doesn't get involved with that stuff. Grammys are a joke, all the money wasted to put on a shitty awards show, The Police should have picked something better to get back together on. Theres my rant for the night and my thoughts on the bullshit, phoney, waste of time awards show called the grammys.
My thoughts on the grammys and red hot chilli peppers. You nailed it.

you act like pearl jam purposely boycotts the grammys. if they were nominated, everyone on this board would be stroking the hypothetical cock of the grammys and i shudder to think what this place would look like if they won.

If not for a handful of albums, SA would be the best album. I have hated on RHCP for the longest time, but BTW and SA have made me really appreciate them. Californication is solid, but I think every song on that album was made a single.
RHCP should be praised for their double album. So many times on the album they channel the Beatles and Hendrix. Sure they 'ripped off' Tom Petty, but that is about the weakest song on the album.
Stadium Arcadium sounds musically and lyrically the same as any other RHCP album... mainly Californication. At first, I really liked Stadium Arcadium... but the more I listened to it, the more it bored the hell out of me... just the same guitar sounds, the same rhyming with words. Meh, whatev.

and no funky beats! that's what i love about them and SA just seems to lack in that department.

I bought the album half a year ago...and still don't like it...I'd prefer BSSM and MM more...even OHM is better...
BTW - what is RHCP without the funk?? Just a pop-band...same goes for Metallica without solo's...man, I hate that album St.Anger...
I don't expect much from the Grammy's anymore, and sadly...they never disappoint me.
If they want to give RHCP Grammy's for making the same album over and over again, I guess it kinda makes up for when they were passed over and actually making good music.
At the same time, they're still a fun band...haven't lost a step.
Awesome work but not as good as By The Way.
Shouldnt have made it a double album but its got some ripper songs!
I really think BY THE WAY was even more crappy than SA...the Pepper's haven't released any good cd's this century imo, and will not be able to make one...sadly...

I think you covered it all in your post. I couldn't agree more on everything you said.
I think the Grammys should show an "ode to best new artist" with all the winners in history. Milli Vanilli... I don't care if that lip syncing thing never happened... the Grammy committee actually voted and gave it to Milli Vanilli?
What's next Crash wins Best Picture in the Academy awards? hey wait a sec.

Stadium Arcadium is absolute garbage. It is the most boring, repetative album I've ever heard.
It's not about anything and it goes nowhere
"Hey-OOOOOOO. Listen what I Say-OOOOO"
What the hell does that even mean
AK lost it a long time ago. Now he's dressing like a pop star and writing pop songs, this album is FAR from rock

right on Ed!!
...like Pearl Jam ripped off Given to Fly, Blue Red and Grey, and My Friends?
That's been going on for light years. Artists are naturally influenced by others.

the bad idea or me befallen by it?
DING! everyone on this board would be freaking out if that happened.
Brave to try to gamble at times
The Bible is full of lies - Stone is the leader of us all!
and being a pepper fan it was ironic that won a grammy. a grammy for a so-so album. it's no way near as good as by the way and californcation.
i mean how can a rocking ass band go from 'suck my kiss' to a song called 'snow'?
i was glad to see them win, but for SA? come on. the grammy's are given to mainstream boring as crap music.
That was the last performance at the Grammys I ever watched.
And that failure's no success at all."

I also really wanted to love SA...I even bought the Ltd. Ed. version off of their site. SA just got old really fast
and no funky beats! that's what i love about them and SA just seems to lack in that department.
