And yet frusciante has yet to record a single second of music with the RHCP that isn't boring, safe, or lame.
How odd.
try emit remmus, road trippin, sir psycho sexy, nobody weird like me, punk rock classic, good time boys, subway to venus, salute to kareem, apache rose peacock.
im a big fan
believe me ever since Californication theyve been getting worse, and the next album they will release will be even more boring than SA, but they arent finished.
they will release a new album, i reckon itll suck badly, but they'll release it and say its the best thing they've done to that point,
personally i prefer listening to anything Californication and earlier as that is all the good stuff, with the exception to a few songs
Haha. So you're telling me that it's okay for you to bash an album and an artist as influential as the Chili Peppers despite that fact that you have NO cred, not even from listening to Stadium Arcadium, which you blatantlly admitted to not listening to. Not cool man.
Come the fuck off it, nearly every other post in this thread is evidence that Stadium Arcadium isn't worth bothering with. And it is my right to think that. You've basically just told me that I can't think RHCP are bad until I've listened to Stadium Arcadium properly... which is a completely ridiculous idea. A couple of their early albums are pretty good. Everything they've done this decade is boring, uninspired dead horse flogging. And by the way, what the fuck is 'cred'? I've heard a lot of Chilli's stuff, I have my evidence... I'm not going to start wearing a baseball cap backwards as well.

I completely disagree. Dave Navarro made them original, that album was sooo unique. One hot minute was an incredible album, so unique and unlike typical RHCP, its too bad they decided to go back to mainstream BS after they fired dave. One hot minute was their only album worth listening to, there i said it.
I always thought One Hot Minute was badass...it was kinda like their No Code...nobody dug it but it was different, experimental and probably the only record from them aside from BSSM that is timeless.
one hot minute is a very good album, IMO.
With the time, this is the only RHCP album I still enjoy...
to reply to the original question: YES, RHCP is done... unless they decide to try a new singer. I think they lost their energy, their willingness to do something creative and original.

I agree that Kiedis is the weakness, he always looks bored and uninspired live.....
however, I will stand by the fact that Californication is one beautiful record, something about John's playing on that record that still moves me as a guitarist myself to this day.....
Scar Tissue, Savior, Road Trippin and Easily are just great, great songs to me......

They're on the verge of a Hall of Fame inductment. I don't know if they're done, it all depends on Frusciante. He is probably more imporant to the band's sound than Keidis is at this point. Stadium was way too over indulgent with a lot of half songs. A shame coming off a fantastic album like BTW.
More important to the songwriting process perhaps, but both are equally impossible to replace at this point in the bands' career. If either says they are done, it is over.
Which came first,
the bad idea or me befallen by it?
They have only embarassed themselves in the last 8 years or so. The last 2 albums are mediocre at best. Their live shows are awful.
Mother´s Milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magik are still classics. And One Hot Minute is hugely underrated, far better than any of the last three albums.
good post !

they already managed to play without fruciante but I don't think rhcp would be the same without flea
I hope not, but I don't know where they will go musically next. SA sounds like the perfection of the sound they have always been heading towards. Its a pop sound - a Beatles type pop, not insync pop. It will be interesting to hear what they have for us next.

yeah, I agree with that, but didn't they say that the greatest hits they put out before SA was their last too? I think RHCP are nearing the end of their run. pretty good one though, they've lasted over 20 years
deep, deep blue of the morning
gets to me every time
John Frusciante came back and ever since then, they have done nothing but written "Under the Bridge"-style ballads that garner huge album sales, and are great singalongs, but don't translate well to a live setting for a band who is supposedly a "Rock band"
The band ended when Dave Navarro's tenure did.
And you can agree or not, but listen to live performances when he was with the band, and listen to them now. Night and Day. Balls and No Balls.
so true.
they should have broken up on the very same day. Ever since he's gone the Chilis are like U2 who just repeat themselves

"stadium arcadium" shopuld have been 1 disc and it would have been great
if you want to see a great RHCP performance, then check out the "live at slane castle" dvd... nothing rocks like 100,000 people at a castle lawn in ireland
I like some of their music, they have had some good songs, but they choose to stay in the mainstream eye. Its obviously been worth the sacrifice for them, they have been huge, but at the same time somewhat generic.

Exactly. SA on one disk would have been a lot better.
BSSM, Freaky Styley, and OHM are the bands best.
And what's with the 'RHCP are shit live' comments. Watch Slane Castle like my2hands said.
Its actually good Frusciante's solo stuff sucks ass or he would have fled the band back when he was putting out a new album every week between the last two Peppers albums.
sucks? what? are you nuts mate? i respectfully disagree.
chili peppers aint done
they are just getting started
That post gave me chills similar to those a person might get if someone said to them 'In my hand are a pair of forceps with which I am now going to pluck out both of your eyes!'

do you mean they are better than 90% of the bullshit, or 90% of the music?
Because i will agree it's definitely better than 90% of the bullshit
But if we're talking music, then not so much.
try emit remmus, road trippin, sir psycho sexy, nobody weird like me, punk rock classic, good time boys, subway to venus, salute to kareem, apache rose peacock.

I can understand the dislike for SA, but man i remember when Scar Tissue came out, i fell in love with John's sound.....

i like to think of them as achieving that rare combination of rock & funk that DMB tries to do but fails horribly.
