I'll listen to it with renewed interest. 👍 I had the album in the car, you know, back in the day, when it was almost funny how whizzed off she was!

Decided to buy de-loused last night and am really enjoying it. All round good music, I like the guitar style, the feel of the songs, and of course the bass... Decent album. Love this jam session - Flea, John Frusciante and Omar Rodriguez. It's intense and really showcases Flea's stamina. Ace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 IME RHCP have been very inconsistent live, but that doesn't bother me at all. Saw them first at Leeds Festival (when John had just come back) and thought they were unbelievable. Caught them a couple of times at the MENA with John, once very good, once so-so, saw them at the Etihad when they weren't very good at all IMO, and also at Glasgow Green with QOTSA, the Foos, PJ Harvey etc (night after Slaine Castle?) when they were absolutely stellar, one of the best performances I've ever seen. One of my favourite bands and I'll happily listen to all their albums, although I don't currently have anything with Josh on. Favourite albums are BSSM and Californication, but favourite track is Venice Queen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2012 I saw the Red Hots live in Knebworth and it was.... Dreadful, boring, hollow... Nothing like what I expected. So disappointing. Yeah I know what you mean. I loved RCHP up to BSSM but live performances always underwhelm me for some reason.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was definitely at his peak on this album. I have not heard anything by them since that is this ferocious, funky, complex yet simple and good....... Carry on! I was at the time big into the grunge scene but that album got me, its absolutely brilliant as are all the albums before it. I had it on tape and later bought it on cd.

The Stadium Arcadium album and the subsequent gig I went to at the Coventry Ricoh ended my love affair with the Chillies which began back with the Mother's Milk album. It was especially gutting because I'd seen them at the Slaine Castle gig a few years before and they were brilliant. At Coventry they were barely going through the motions. I heard later that John Frusciante was only still playing in the band at that point to fulfil contractual obligations. Seems I'm not alone, I also kind of stopped listening after stadium arcadium. It was as though they grew up or something. Bet I can count on both hands the amount of times I have listened to it. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 He was Alanis' drummer at the time so I always assumed that it was him but Wikipedia only states that he was in the video - no mention of the actual track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Just listened to You Oughtta Know. Wow. My memory of that song made me think "no way has that got flea and Dave Navarro on" but when you listen to it it's unmistakably Dave Navarro but Flea is let loose to play with a different style and tone to his RHCP work but keep it funky. It works really well and there's a female fronted band I sometimes play with, I want to play this with them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
