why i think new Chili Peppers album will rule

1. it called Stadium Arcadium. i'm fine with that.
2. Rick Rubin is producing.
3. they recorded it in the same haunted house Blood Sugar Sex Magic was recorded in.


we shall see.

I have some high hopes for the album. As long as they bring some "A game" funk I will be quite happy

multiply those numbers by 2. it's a double album.

as long as frusciante is involved it will be interesting, keidis needs to stop whining so much.

I know I'm going to sound like an echo, but I miss the old chili peppers

I'm a growin' boy, I needs my funk!

Amen to that, brother!

because there hasn't been enough watered down white-boy funk on the airwaves?

Somebody needs to play 'em a copy of "Uplift MoFo Party Plan" or "Mother's Milk" and tell 'em, "You can be this band again if you really tried hard."

I'm interested to hear it.

I AM, however, rather irritated by the fact that the recording of this album is delaying John Frusciante's solo tour.

They should Have George Clinton produce for them again...

I downloaded a couple of his solo albums a while back, expecting them to be a bit of a wank. One of them - the name escapes me - was fucking brilliant. He's got a Cat Stevens-ish voice, which surprised me.

>I downloaded a couple of his solo albums a while back, expecting them to be a bit of a wank.

why didn't you BUY his albums ? Give the artist something back, gang.
this musician is a true genious.

Except you can't be in your twenties forever. Three of them are in their mid-forties. Who wants to keep playing the same kind of thing for twenty years?

I think they've only gotten better over the years. I think By The Way is the best record they've ever recorded. Yeah, I said it. What?

He needs to stop singing so much.

yeah, but it sure beats what they've played for the last 10+ years.

I am looking forward to it!

If the first single is any indication this record is going to blow. Hard.
At least in my humble, Frusciante worshipping opinion.

I'm a big fan, seen em a buncha times over the years. I heard the single on radio tonight and it did'nt really do much for me

How many songs about how great California/Los Angeles is?

I don't think Antony Keidis is a bad singer. His voice goes quite well with the rest of the band. He's a better singer than I could ever hope to be.

My problem with Mr. Keidis is outside of music, I find he to be a womanizing macho jerk. That kind of ruins me for his voice. If it weren't for him, I'd be a big fan of theirs.

I think he's gotten lazy in the writing process for his lyrics as well. I still like his voice, but the trite words and lame attempts at rhyming have to go.

Flea shoulda stuck with Fear.

Another Freaky Stylee would be awesome, but I doubt they (RHCP or GC) would invest all the time to make a whole album that would not be as marketable. It would be the equivalent of an art house film at this point in their expected sales/tours etc.

What would blow everyone away is something new, like a mini album of 3-4 Freaky Stylee inspired George Clinton produced songs released for sale on the internet or something. Like though I-tunes or whatever.
And keep Flea away from the brass abuse.

Has anyone else heard the Dani California single? That turned out to be really good. Though the end of the song starts to sound like Skynyrd
