stingrayPete1977 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Or a hacked account was my first thought when the wife showed me?! He'll need all his guitars back that he gave away now and I wonder how his health is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I guess the current guitarist got the sack so John could come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh had been Johns back up and guitar tech for a good while...I’d say he’ll be milling around somewhere. I actually really enjoyed their output with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I must say that after being a massive fan for years I pretty much lost interest immediately after seeing them live at Hampden in about 2007. I will be interested to see what kind of direction he takes the band in. I really didn't like By The Way at the time, and well, I still don't for the most. However there are a few tracks on that album that I really really like. Stadium Arcadium I actually quite liked, though it was too long. I didn't find it offensive of anything.

He'll need all his guitars back that he gave away now and I wonder how his health is? I think he’s been doing pretty well - he looked great at world record store day. Think he’s been fairly active in the background, and he gave a 62 telecaster to Josh Klinghoffer. But I’d say he has a few spare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a totally terrible album, it just didn't really sound that much like the Chilis. Edit: Mind you, I had the misfortune of seeing them on that tour, so that's probably coloured my judgement a bit.

I remember Flea saying if you didn’t like Stadium Arcadium, then you didn’t like RHCP. Mmm. I find myself choosing other albums before it - but I do listen to it. I tend to skip certain tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Just seeing if the Wikipedia page had been updated. Seems JF is paying $53,000 a month to his ex wife since their divorce. He has to work - so it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His second stint was much longer. Maybe he’ll increase again on stint 3. Although they’ll be mid 60’s by then. Unless there’s something super special waiting to happen - it might be a swan song thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Can’t say I’ve listened to anything of theirs since he left (the first time) so I’m not really best placed to comment 😕 That said RHCP were a regular part of my rotation in the BSSM era. ...and also not knowing anything about the subject never stopped anyone posting on BC ever 😐 controversially (perhaps?) I always found the bass and vocals a bit meh... drums and guitar first class though. In fact I struggle to think of anyone better for my tastes Edited December 15, 2019 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunoBass Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 With Frusciante on board it’s the return of the classic lineup, in my humble opinion. I haven’t liked much of their work in the 21st Century so I’m interested to see what they come up with. No disrespect to Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Their first release is an Abba cover - Alimoney-money-Money 😅 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I was massively into them in the Mother's Milk & BSSM era, bought all the previous albums on import and loved every bit of it. I also really like One Hot Minute (controversial) and saw them on that tour at Wembley, they weren't great but I didn't care. Then, although I tried my best to like them, I slowly lost interest as every new album was released, Stadium Arcadium was the last one I bought. I really hope something great comes from having JF back as I absolutely adore his playing with them, but they're all older, I'm older, and sadly I don't think I'll ever have that feeling of exhilaration again when listening to an album of theirs for the first time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 @Maude we’ll see - The Getaway was really enjoyable on the whole. We’ll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
