Red Hot Chili Peppers Album • Page 5

Yea I was about to say, are we throwing shade at By The Way in here because damn

 

Wow. What a headline, wasn't expecting it.

I like Josh a lot. Sure, Johns more of an elder statesman, than Josh, but boy... hope he lands on his feet :/

 

SO... was he fired, or did he quit?

 

All the best RHCP albums have John and the band is much better live with him. This is incredible news.

 

I get all the best albums conspiracy.... But Josh was around for only 2 albums, which were past my 'love the band' era (see: high school 1987 graduate) and then then 90's....

So, I grew up with John, sure.. But I liked Josh.

(Its similar to - Van Halen - Dave or Sammy). Original is nice, sure (No, I know... NOT original, but YKWIM). Josh just seemed 'nice' :)

 

I am 100 percent certain that John approached the band about coming back before Josh "left." It might have been amicable, but I doubt it was his idea.

 

Why can't they have two guitarists

 

Nothing I have ever read or heard about John Frusciante leads me to believe that he would be fine splitting lead guitarist duties.

 

They played together previously, kinda?

 

Yeah, Josh was a touring guitarist, right? Probably a different dynamic now, though. I do think John and Josh are/were pretty tight back then.

 

i fucking loathe this band but john playing guitar again is pretty undeniably rad

 

That’s pretty much how I feel. I think John’s a great guitarist and I enjoyed some of his solo stuff. Honestly I don’t think I’d loathe this band as much as I do if it weren’t for Scatman Kiedis. They clearly have a gigantic fan base but it’s just not for me.

 

I’m now super pumped for their next album.

 

For my money, there are not too many three-album runs better than Californication, By the Way and Stadium Arcadium.

 

Yeah those 3 are all terrific for sure

 

Holy shit

 

Not in the least bit surprising.

 

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I have a feeling if RCHP does press for the album, they're gonna have a lot to answer to. They never really apologized or showed any remorse like the Beastie Boys and need to be confronted on it.

 

literally the least surprising

 

I knew Kiedis basically admitted to being a sexual predator in his biography but even still, what the FUCK????

 

I don't understand why this site chooses to take a stand again bands like Pinegrove and pulls all news from them but openly supports Red Hot Chilli Peppers?



Videos like this show they clearly assaulted a female reporter and she just had to take it. It's not the only time which I think is clear by the video that they've done stuff like this but also this article is another example of what a woman had to experience with them

Blood, Sugar, Sex, Dickheads


Where's the line? What's the cut off point for supporting a band that has a shady past?

I've also seen positive posts about third eye blind yet Jimmy Eat World has made accusations about them as well but we still continue to see supportive posts for this band as well.

Jimmy Eat World Drummer Calls Third Eye Blind Singer A “Fucking Creepy Douchebag” After Co-Headlining Tour

I get that it's a tricky subject. I'm just curious what others thoughts are as we see more RHCP news coming with John joining back with the band.

 

Many people choose not to support this band.

 

band is full of creeps

fuck em

 

I'm just surprised that I found out about it recently and never saw any communication about it on here. To me, their behavior is much more egregious. I was excited about John coming back but reading up on their history left me feeling uncomfortable with supporting them.

 

Making a thread about the shit they've done is kinda counter to what you are trying to do. Giving a separate thread for accusations gives people a way to avoid meaningful discussion. I feel like addressing this in the greater RHCP thread could spark some talks and get people educated.

Just my two cents.
