They are a band with a huge back catalog and they give it almost no attention live. I saw them twice on the SA tour and heard six or seven songs from BSSM or earlier. My favourite period of their work is in the 80's because you can't top their intensity and love for a good funk song. Freaky Styley and The Uplift Mojo Party Plan are probably the two CDs I listen to the most by them. BSSM is a dandy as is Californication but it's a totally different style of music. I don't like One Hot Minute, By The Way, or Stadium Arcadium very much at all. Each record has 3 or 4 songs I could listen to (which is most insulting to Stadium Arcadium) and the rest is just garbage. I think Stadium Arcadium could have easily been cut down into one 15 song record and it still wouldn't be good.
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
I'll agree that Hump de bump isn't one of my favorites off of stadium arcadium,but there are some great songs on that cd. They just aren't played on the radio and songs like: "wet sand, desicration smile, stadium arcadium, slow cheetah should be. wet sand is one of the best songs Red hot chili peppers have ever written and recorded.
that's true
wet sand is really one of the best rhcp songs, it's in my top three

They are easily no where near their former selves. I enjoyed the Californication album, and By The Way was VERY hit or miss (Tear is possibly my favorite RHCP album). Stadium Arcadium was just rubbish though. It COULD have been a solid single disk record, but making it a double disk was just a terrible idea.
i cannot listen to the album..i dont know why they made it a double album... i just end up skipping through it and not enjoying it... there are probably 3 or 4 decent songs.. but its the really bad ones that make the album as a whole unlistenable
I cannot find either Stadium Arcadium or By The Way enjoyable...IMHO RHCP is the biggest sellout/letdown of the last 10 years!!! Listen(+look) what they've become...pathetic!

Stadium is the bands best work. They took everything they always do and basically showed they are masters of that style, while keeping the album loose. They are good at what they do. Hump de bump grows on you, like the video I thought was horrible at first glance, which now I can tolerate with amusement. Its pure cheese. If I was a Chilies die hard the whole album would have been liek mana, in quanitities Pearl JAm seems reluctant to give out.

you are crazy! Chili's best years are behind them, when they were on musician performance enhancing drugs, SA does not rank anywere close to BSSM, that album was so deep as far as lyrics and musicanship go, the new album bores me, all the songs sound the same, its the most dissapointed I've ever been when buying a record, I waited 4 years for this to come out? Pearl Jam's most recent album blows away SA.
exactly. aerosmith hired professional songwriters to help them after done with mirrors bombed, and look what they came out with. although they have had some pretty good tunes in the last 15 years, the music was written with a purpose. to be radio friendly and poppy and sell millions,which they did. rchp have been like that for fucken years.ever since the higher ground cover and that effort to break into the mainstream,i would say they have written all their music in the same vein. catchy and poppy and radio friendly.
Aerosmith, I don't like their pop shit, but they're bluesy shit still kicks ass.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

Calling the Chili peppers sellouts and comparing them to Beyonce and Aerosmith is ridiculous and just shows musical ignorance. Hump De Bump is a damn good funk song. It comes from the influence of James Brown and Sly and the Family Stone. Stadium Arcadium is a great record. So is BSSM. Anyone who says the Chili Peppers don't rock anymore clearly hasn't listened to songs like Readymade and Turn It Again off SA.
I'm all for different strokes for differrent folks, and if you don't like the Peppers, fine, but some of the claims on here are just too ridiculous to be taken seriously. There's nothing wrong with being catchy. It's alot more difficult to write a catchy song than one that isn't catchy. I personally think alot of bands who deride songs that are "catchy" do so mostly becuase they don't have the ability to write stuff in that vein. Plenty of stuff by Hendrix, Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Stones, etc., could be considered catchy. Doesn't make any of them sell outs.
I think it's clear to anyone who pays attention to the band that they are 100% making the music they want to make. That is not selling out. Those who call them sellouts are mostly just jilted fans who want all their albums to sound exactly like BSSM.
Off topic, Aerosmith was great in the 70's, but they are now terrible. That godawful song from Armageddon sealed the deal on that one.

the right title of the threed should be: RHCP = CRAP !!!

2007: Copenhagen, Werchter
2009: Rotterdam, London
2010: MSG, Arras, Werchter
2012: Amsterdam, Prague, Berlin
2014: Amsterdam, Stockholm
So I was flipping around today on my music on demand channels and RHCP's new video came on for Humpy Humpy or whatever its called and I have to say, this is the worst RHCP song I've ever heard, I think Anthony and John need to go back to using heroin daily and mabey they'll make some good songs again!

Couldn't have said it better myself. I don't understand the hate myself. A lot of people hate(d) Dani California when it was first released as a single but I love that song and still do. BSSM is probably my favourite Peppers album but I still love SA and haven't tired of it. I do agree that some songs on the album could have been left off. I saw the Peppers twice last year and Anthony and the rest of the band were kickass both nights. Initially, I was worried because I know Anthony can be be hit or miss.
I think the view that anything with commercial appeal is inferior or unworthy is absolutely assinine. Even so-called "indie" music could be considered commercialized these days.
So very much bashing. I liked SA a lot better than By the Way but my favorite will always be One Hot Minute despite it's standard classification as the worst album they have put out in the last 15 years (if not ever). IMO the Chili's have put out some very cool albums in my lifetime, the ones that affected me the most growing up were BSSM, One Hot Minute and Californication. Those 3 seemed to have a very cool and consistant vibe within each record and I'll look back on them in 20 years with very fond memories as they had a meaningful affect on my musical tastes and growth. Was SA as good as some of their previos work? That's a matter of opinion. The cool thing about the RHCP's is they never seem to care, they always think everything they write is amazing because it comes straight from jamming and improvisation, everyone in the band seems so taken with their own music and I think that genuine enthusiasm is what has rubbed off on the public and kept them in the mainstream. Even if the new songs don't give me as strong a connection as one's in the past I feel greatful when I see a RHCP's video because I like even their worst songs 100X more than any R&B or pop queen who sells their looks, dances and has their songs written for them.
Which came first,
the bad idea or me befallen by it?
All right!
Stop whatcha doin'
'cause I'm about to ruin
the image and the style that ya used to.
I look funny
but yo I'm makin' money see
so yo world I hope you're ready for me.
Now gather round
I'm the new fool in town
and my sound's laid down by the Underground.
I drink up all the Hennessey ya got on ya shelf
so just let me introduce myself
My name is Hump De, pronounced with a Ump De.
Yo ladies, oh how I like to hump thee.
And all the rappers in the top ten--please allow me to bump thee.
I'm steppin' tall, y'all,
and just like Hump de Bump
you're gonna fall when the stereos pump me.
I like to rhyme,
I like my beats funky,
I'm spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy.
I'm sick wit dis, straight gangsta mack
but sometimes I get ridiculous
I'll eat up all your crackers and your licorice
hey yo FLEA, c'mere--are ya ticklish?
Yeah, I called ya fat.
Look at me, I'm skinny
It never stopped me from gettin' busy
I'm a freak
I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom
I'm crazy.
Allow me to amaze thee.
They say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me.
I'm still gettin' in the girls' pants
and I even got my own dance
{Chorus:}
The Hump de Bump is your chance to do the hump
Do the Hump De Bump, come on and do the Hump De Bump
Do the Hump De Bump, come on and do the Hump De Bump Hump,
just watch me do the Hump De Bump
Do ya know what I'm doin', doin' the Hump De Bump
Do the Hump De Bump, do the Hump De Bump
Verse Two:
People say "Yo, Hump De, you're really funny lookin'"
that's all right 'cause I get things cookin'
Ya stare, ya glare, ya constantly try to compare me
but ya can't get near me
I give 'em more, see, and on the floor, B,
all the girls they adore me
Oh yes, ladies, I'm really bein' sincere
'cause in a 69 my hump de nose will tickle ya rear.
My nose is big, uh-uh I'm not ashamed
Big like a pickle, I'm still gettin' paid
I get laid by the ladies, ya know I'm in charge,
both how I'm livin' and my nose is large
I get stoopid, I shoot an arrow like Cupid,
I use a word that don't mean nothin', like looptid
I sang on Doowhutchalike, and if ya missed it,
I'm the one who said just grab Flea in the biscuits
Also told ya that I like to bite
Well, yeah, I guess it's obvious, I also like to write.
All ya had to do was give Hump De a chance
and now I'm gonna do my dance.
{Chorus}
Breakdown:
Oh, yeah, that's the break, y'all
Let Flea play a little bit of that bass groove right here
Oh, yeah!
Now that I told ya a little bit about myself
let me tell ya a little bit about this dance
It's real easy to do--check it out
Verse Three:
First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
Shakin' and twitchin' kinda like I was smokin'
Crazy wack funky
People say ya look like Jack Iron's on crack, Hump De
That's all right 'cause my body's in motion
It's supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion
Anyone can play this game
This is my dance, y'all, Hump De Bump's my name
No two people will do it the same
Ya got it down when ya appear to be in pain
Humpin', funkin', jumpin',
jig around, shakin' ya rump,
and when the dude a chump pump points a finger like a stump
tell him step off, I'm doin' the Hump.
{Chorus}
Black people, do the Hump De Bump, do the Hump De Bump
White people, do the Hump De Bump, do the Hump De Bump
Puerto Ricans, do the Hump De Bump, just keep on doin' the hump
Samoans, do the Hump De Bump, do the Hump De Bump
Let's get stoopid!
{Chorus}
Oh, yeah, come on and break it down
Outro:
Once again, the Red Hot Chili Peppers is in the house
I'd like to send a shout out to the whole world,
keep on doin' the Hump De Bump,
and to the ladies,
peace and hump de forever

I really love this album. They just released a single??? I listened to this when my son was in the womb and he is 2 and a half! As a result, he is a Chili Pepper fan.
I love Anthony's voice. I could listen to him read the phone book.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
you are crazy! Chili's best years are behind them, when they were on musician performance enhancing drugs, SA does not rank anywere close to BSSM, that album was so deep as far as lyrics and musicanship go, the new album bores me, all the songs sound the same, its the most dissapointed I've ever been when buying a record, I waited 4 years for this to come out? Pearl Jam's most recent album blows away SA.
Maybe, with all due respect, your best years are behind you?
Blood sugar is not even that good, it just came out in the day. I know every note, word and so on from that cd. It is mostly boring, poppy white boy funk, with some brilliance making otherwise average tunes stand out. I mean , I love it, but all it did was turn a kid on to better of the same. It does have some songs that equal anything they do, but its no sacred cow. Frusicantes first solo album is better.
The new Pearl Jam was not miles better, I have a feeling you just like it better because you like pj miles better. They were both good records.
The Peppers haven't put out a good record since One Hot Minute.
Yep, that was their best album.
BSSM is also great and anything before that.
I anticipated Californication very much, 'cause it was the first chili pepper album in 4 years and also at the time I was in a band called Kali4nication for real, we were pumped cause we all loved the chilipeppers however when the album came out we liked it for a week then we decided they couldn't play funk anymore only pseudo - funk.

umm, NO! I can admit if RHCP made a better album that PJ, for instance, Californication is better than Riot act or Binural, SA just doesn't do it for me, can I not have an opinion? BSSSM (AKA "The Heroin album) is the chili's best work, your not gonna convince me otherwise pal!
I think it's clear to anyone who pays attention to the band that they are 100% making the music they want to make. That is not selling out.
I don't listen to the Chili peppers after One Hot Minute. I'm not going to bitch about it, we grew apart. I have a belief that you progress and grow, and if you are lucky enough for one band(For me Pearl Jam) to progress and grow with you then you are a very lucky person indeed. I took a different direction than the chili peppers.... not a problem. It happens. I'm sure they don't miss me.
The problem I have with the quoted statement is that the one time that I finally got to see the chili peppers... sometime around 2000, they felt washed out. They didn't look as if they were enjoying it. Flea looked positively bored, and I felt John Frusciante was running through a list of guitar cliches till the night was over. Maybe it was an off night, maybe I wasn't in the mood but I was soooo close to leaving early and that's something I never do.

LOL please list similarities between the two.

I anticipated Californication very much, 'cause it was the first chili pepper album in 4 years and also at the time I was in a band called Kali4nication for real, we were pumped cause we all loved the chilipeppers however when the album came out we liked it for a week then we decided they couldn't play funk anymore only pseudo - funk.
Your head it looks like a cow
I threw a bird at the sky
umm, NO! I can admit if RHCP made a better album that PJ, for instance, Californication is better than Riot act or Binural, SA just doesn't do it for me, can I not have an opinion? BSSSM (AKA "The Heroin album) is the chili's best work, your not gonna convince me otherwise pal!
I don't listen to the Chili peppers after One Hot Minute. I'm not going to bitch about it, we grew apart. I have a belief that you progress and grow, and if you are lucky enough for one band(For me Pearl Jam) to progress and grow with you then you are a very lucky person indeed. I took a different direction than the chili peppers.... not a problem. It happens. I'm sure they don't miss me.
The problem I have with the quoted statement is that the one time that I finally got to see the chili peppers... sometime around 2000, they felt washed out. They didn't look as if they were enjoying it. Flea looked positively bored, and I felt John Frusciante was running through a list of guitar cliches till the night was over. Maybe it was an off night, maybe I wasn't in the mood but I was soooo close to leaving early and that's something I never do.
