Sorry guys. Not all that good. Some good songs. Kiedis can't sing and for me, the definition of a great rock band is one that shines live, not in the studio with multiple voice overlays and enhancement (kind of reminds me of Britney Spears). Basically they can't hold Pearl Jam's jock.

Not trying to start anything but I believe Pearl Jam is the superior band with the superior musicians, songwriters, and of course, singer.

    I saw them once, I believe it was after Californication was released. Kiedis' singing literally hurt my ears, he was so off-pitch the entire time. I can tolerate wrong notes from time to time, of course, but not an entire concert of it. If not for the rest of the band showin' their stuff, I would have left after the first few songs.

    No need to apologize here, because I agree....never got into them a lot. RHCP just seem like a gimmick to me, but the guitarist is talented. For me I just can't stand anything about Anthony Kedis! He writes songs like just pulling words out of a dictionary and puts them in a sentence. And Flea's porno bassline from 20 years ago is soooooo tired by now!

    Kiedis lyrics of the day:

    California... I'm chilling in California
    Hooked up with some chick in California...
    Oh California....

    *Chorus*

    California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California, you're on my mind...

    I think he doesn't really care about the background of the chick... he's more into California

    I would have to say that I enjoy me some RHCP, but I'd agree that to hear them live leaves something to be desired.

    To *watch* them live is another story. It's quite entertaining. I do believe they are good entertainers. :)

    The Chili Peppers are right up there with PJ in terms of Rock Bands that I like. Flea has been creating interesting bass lines ever since the RHCP started in 1983. TO say his lines are boring is crazy! Chad Smith is a tight ass drummer and john frusciante is a tight guitar player.

    ...and Anthony is an idiot and horrible vocalist!

    Fair enough, everyone has an opinion right? If not the world would be pretty boring! lol.....I agree about Smith and Frusciante though. As a band they just seem to gimmicky for me.

    Love them or hate them all I have to say is this: After just releasing a double cd of new material (which I have not heard) I think it was a chicken shit decision to play "Give it Away" on SNL a few weeks back! Grow up and be proud of your new music!
    "The leads are weak!"

    "The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"

    "What's your name?"

    "FUCK YOU! THAT"S MY NAME!"

    You know if PJ came out and played ALIVE or somehting on SNL, tons of PJ fans would have loved. I would have dug it!

    That may be true, but I would still be saying the same thing about them (PJ). Fortunately, PJ rocks and doesn't need to pander to the masses!

    Just listening to "SA" now and it's good but I agree with most who say that there isn't really anything that sounds new. And that's what I think makes "PJ" the better record. Still Frusciante is awesome but Kiedis's lyrics...well....pretty weak.

    I saw them several years ago and STP opened. In my opinion, STP should have headlined, they were much better by far. RHCP have some decent tunes on record, but they just aren't good live. That is one of the things that is so amazing about PJ they sound great live.
