    i have some live mp3 of most the songs and i was surprised at how good they were live. they were what made me go back and listen to the album again recently. very very very good album. i think Stadium Arcadium is a terrible album

    Just to add, I also think Chad Smith's best drumming is on this album. There's just such a good groove going the whole time...

    I'm gonna spin this one today.

    i work with this guy who is a die hard peppers fan. like this guy is like we are with pj. but hes fucked. first off he has a lot of money to blow. so he will go on ebay and buy as many of the same thing be it vinyl or whatever. but thats besides the point.
    he says that ablum dont exist to him becasue Fruiscante is not on it.
    to me thats bs. its like saying no code is shit becasue dave is not on it.

    i like the album though.

    I see what your trying to say, but that was a bad analogy, because John Frusciante IS that band. He writes the music for pretty much EVERY song. A better analogy would be like if PJ came out w/ a new cd and we thought it was shit because Eddie and Stone weren't on it. That is the level of importance Frusciante has to that band.

    The Chili Peppers would be nowhere without him IMO...
    And before his first step... He's off again...

    One Hot Minute is an amazing album. RHCP haven't made a decent album since in my opinion. I can't beleive no one has mentioned how good walkabout is

    Awesome song. I used to have this on tape, and that would be the first song on side two. It would be awesome to just put that on and hear it kick into the intro.

    a brilliant album, every post-one hot minute album pales in comparison imo.

    never really liked RHCP but this was the one album i actually had at one point. didn't like it.

    anyway, i really surprised to see all the support for One Hot Minute. that is all.

    The only people who don't agree are biased RHCP fans who think that the RHCP Sun rises and sets in John Frusciante's pants.

    And he's not a bad guitar player, he's just boring. He has yet to do a single thing that 40,000 other hippies with strats aren't doing as well.

    If Flea wasn't there to liven shit up, he would have accomplished nothing. Same with Kiedis.


    How can you call him boring and listen to songs like Funky Monks, Under the Bridge, If You Have to Ask, Don't Forget Me, Purple Stain, Around the World, Venice Queen. Jesus he has made so many great opening riffs that I can't even name them all. Plus he's an awesome stage presence (he's the reason why I would go see the Chili Peppers).

    Those songs ARE the reason i call him boring.

    Sometimes, when i am feeling rebelious, i listen to bands other than the RHCP. You should give it a whirl sometimes. You'd be amazed at the things other guitarists do.

    i thought it was great but it just felt different without john frusciante on it though.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    I think it's a very solid album and better than most everything that's come after it.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I didn't think One Hot Minute was their best, but it certainly wasn't their worst. Personally, I'll always be a fan of Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and I thought Stadium Arcadium rocked!

    Could you please just shut the fuck up. Jesus Christ just because you find him boring "because it's rebellious" doesn't mean he is. He has tons of emotion on stage and through many of his songs. Also, because I listen to RHCP you think I have a closed mind to music, please shut the fuck up and quit thinking your better than everyone. I listen to ALOT of music and just because I enjoy Frusciante you assume I listen to the shit they push down teenagers throats on the radio. It's true that RHCP's stuff since By The Way is a bit more pop and mainstream but it's still 10x better than the shit My Chemical Romance and Buckcherry comes out with.

    Just because one thing is better than something else that is shitty, doesn't make it good in and of itself.

    Oh god. Someone mentioned the now "legendary" Frusciante "emotion" on stage. Look, anyone can play one note and bend it for 5 minutes with their mouths wide open in a look of pain. It doesn't require talent. The man is a pretty good songwriter, I'll give you that, but he's one of the sloppiest guitarists around today, with some of the worst solos. Stay in the studio John.

    It's a good album, not their best but good. I love Walkabout and Transcending the most from this effort.

    I personally enjoy the Newer Chili's stuff as well. I like how they have added a lot more harmonies to the music. People might call that "Pop" sounding, oh well. Pop can be good if done right. Just listen to the Albert Hammond Jr. Album.

    My only real complaints with RHCP are their live shows (never saw one that impressed me) and they singles that they release. I swear they pick the lamest songs for their singles. Although the only times I've seen them they had Navarro, and that Arik Marshall guy played when I saw them at the 1st Tibetan Freedom show.
    NERDS!

    I never really thought they were all that live, ive seen em a fair few times and only once was it anything to write home about and for that i give credit to frusciante.

    Whatever you think of his playing, i think its safe to say he makes a huge contribution to the band.

    Regardless of that, I love one hot minute, its a quirky record that doesnt get enough love

    that was really mean.
