    As much as I have upmost respect and dignity for 'em, they are a totally corporate, commercialised band these dats. They play short shows and rarely change their set, NEVER play any of the pre-Fruciante/Smith stuff, among which are some hot shit, which I suppose the new fans (14 year old hoodie wearing moshers... uuurgh) wouldn't know or enjoy, as well as not being commercial or radio-friendly. Now I've seen them live a few times and although they're good, it doesn't seem like they are into it. I keep telling myself they are great, but what actually are the reasons I like them??? They are not the band they used to be. The past couple of albums have been trying to repeat BSSM.... and that was by no means compelling.

    Sorry, just had to be honest.

    Though I dont really ahre your opinion on the band I do agree their set lists need a shake up. Would love to hear stuff like Suck My Kiss, Apache Rose Peacock, Naked in the Rain etc.

    Uh how is John Frusciante a dick? I think hes a cool guitarist, a funny, down to earth guy, and a good songwriter as well

    he is an amazing guitar player, but he is nowhere near down to earth. the guy is a fucking alien pre and post heroin.

    A taste of the new stuff from the Radio 1 show.
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
