    I couldn't pass this up....so that sounds pretty much like most people say about PJ? Just because RHCP has had a couple of less successful albums shouldn't mean much to a PJ fan???


    Californication went 5x p
    and By the Way 1x p

    i wouldn't really say less sucessful. Musically they have peaked as far as there writing . IMO. After one hot minute there stuff has bored me.


    ANd YEAH ENOUGH ABOUT FUCKING CALIFORNIA.

    They are over rated, I like their stuff but they are honestly not worth the massive hype they've received over the years. Anthony Keidis can't actually sing, so it's admirable that he's the front man of a band that's been so sucessful. A lot of bands are over rated though, such as Creed, Busted and other shit like that...
    I totally agree. Anthony K. really can't sing but the rest of the group is brilliant. I like them but I have no clue why everybody is raving about them. Dani California is just above average. I quite like it but it's surely far away from being really good.

    when the hell were busted overrated? no one ever rated them. maybe 11 year old girls but they hardly count.

    Listen to Mother's milk and say they are overrated... go on I dare you :D

    Who else thinks this band is overated? I used to be fan but then I realized there was nothing that special about them. Flea is great at bass and john is pretty good on guitar but that is about it. They have some good songs but overall i think there sell outs and overated. P.S. Chad Smith sucks

    what makes them overrated? im just curious. i mean, i like some of their music and i would probably go see them live. why overrated?


    Esther's here and she's sick?

    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks

I think they are a trend cause all these little posers i know like them b/c of their new which talks about cali again. Plus who wants to listen to some white guy act like he is rapping with shitty lyrics

    OK when you go to a school where the whole in crowd loves a band that is not that good and you have to hear about them every single day and there the most popular thing at school YES i do hate them and dont want to hear anymore about them when kids whose favorite band is fall out boy and then they hear dani california and all of the sudden there the most amazing band. Then i see them on cd usa(sellouts) and mtv. That pisses me off

    you do have a little of a point there.but just because they get a lot of attention doesnt mean they are sellouts or that they suck. the only album i didnt like was By The Way, which i agree with some people, strayed too far off their regular crazy funk or rock stuff. the old stuff from blood sugar sex magik and back is amazing. i like the new stuff, but i admit its mostly different from what they started out doing. anthony cant sing that great, but his voice is amazing. and i agree all the way with culot4 by saying that trends dont last for 20 years, since they started in 1983. another thing that bothers me is where i agree with you grunge. fucking dickwads that listen to "MTV" bands like hawthorn heights all of a sudden like RHCP when they come out with a new song, then forget it in a couple months. they know NOTHING of the bands earlier albums. i gave me friend mother's milk and freaky styley and he said he didnt like it all. that pisses me off. i kinda go in a lot of directions when i talk
    im awesome

    punctuation is hard to learn
    but it leads to a better wrote message
    It's hard to grasp, for many its a task
    but in the end helps understanding

    Dream of learning punctuation
    Dream of learning punctuation
    commas, full stops abbreviations
    Yes I dream of learning punctuation

    I agree they are badly overated, this new single sounds like any other song they have put out. I think they are a classic case of a very good band fronted by a very ordinary singer.
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    well Anthony's not Ed, certainly, in terms of born vocal ability, but he is right for the RHCP; I'm used to that nasal voice singing Chili Pepper songs - it suits their band. And RHCP are a band that is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

    The guitarist of the band, JF, is one of the the best artist,guitarist, philosopher... I put him up there with Eddie...I think frusciante's solo work, all, of it speaks to people like no other music, his debut album, "niandrales and usually just a t-shirt" is one of the greatest ablums of all time... he did this when he was working on the RCHP's best album, blood sugar sex magic, but you can tell he was in such a different zone artistically, but at the same time he could kick out funky shit too... I guess when you listen to his solo stuff you can see why he started to hate anthony, and the chili pepper's style... but I love the RHCPs because they introduced the world to two amazing musicians, Flea and John Frusciante...
    Do I eat them?.. raw or well done?...Do I trick them...? I don't think they're dumb...
