Everyone in that band has to be worth 100 million dollars now. Just stick to playing live shows and stop embarrassing yourself with new music.

Isn't that what Jane's is doing and they suck? At least they're trying to create, for better or for worse. But, yeah. No my favorite so far.

Yeah but The RHCP had like 8 albums before they needed to hang it up on recording.

RHCP could still theoretically change the setlist every night and still play a whole lot of songs people know.

Jane's can't do that when they will only play from 2 albums.

And if that is the best song on the album, I'm glad I actually never listened to the whole album.

This song makes me

I like the first half of this. Unfortunately they destroy the song around 2:48. The lead single is a pretty good song too

I feel ya. That's kind of the way I feel about "Transcending"...kind of falls apart for me at 3:03...

love the story about how the song got started by Anthony

ummm

Who's that guy sitting behind the driver?

new band member, haven't you heard. Tambourine wizard

Josh, attempted copycat of Frusciante, who was an attempted copycat of Hillel.

So basically, some guitarist who knew the right people to land the right gig.

I thought it was fun. I've seen other carpools and this one was good Besides, I like James Corden.

Whatever. Josh Klinghoffer met John Frusciante in 2000 and played on a number of Fru's albums; contributing drums, bass, vocals, keyboards, and guitar. In 2007, Klinghoffer played with Red Hot Chili Peppers on the final few legs of their Stadium Arcadium tour, playing additional guitar, backing vocals, and keyboard parts alongside the band. That was two years before Fru officially left the band (again). It's fair to say that Josh was Fru's "understudy".

As for everyone's hard-on for past Chili Peppers' guitarists...most people here say they love Fru in one breath, while shit on a number of Chili Peppers' albums he played on in the next. Slovak only played on two albums...sure, it's quality over quantity...but the band hadn't even made their best work yet.

Yeah, I suspect many of the same people cringing at the RHCP's carpool karaoke were lapping this up on xiola.org in 2003...

Flea looks more and more like our pool guy these days.

Lucky you!

I just think they take things too seriously. I like this kind of light interviews, it's not like they're trying to prove something
I haven't watched Chris Martin's and I refuse to watch Adele's
P.S. That was funny!

The Chris Martin one is good. He's a cool guy.

Looks like the new RHCP album leaked in full today. I'm on vacation in Maui with my wife who hates RHCP, so I haven't been able to give a listen yet. Maybe tonight after she goes to bed.

get it here:

I'm not a fan of Corden, but here you go.

Can you imagine Jane's doing this? Perry in the front seat not letting anyone else talk, Etty pouting in the back filing her fucking nails with the windows down and the other three in the boot. (sorry 'trunk')

Ok so first review after listening to the entire album a couple of times:

It is somewhat good, but not great. Several memorable songs and some instantly forgettable. Oddly enough RHCP seems to be suffering from the same thing as our precious long suffering JA. They lack a genuinely talented writer. Make no mistake. They sometimes still strike gold and somehow come up with very catchy tunes etc. But without Frusciante there is no one in the band who is genuinely talented in writing songs. They all come up with interesting high quality parts and bits but the songwriting just isnt there. With all respect to Flea and Josh, they seem more creative with instruments, as in coming up with good parts. Kiedis is doing what he can with the vocals but that sweet BeeGees and Elton John musicality and songwriting that Frusciante brought on BTW and SA is just gone. Much like Jane's without Avery, just unable to come up with good song ideas. And also reminescent of Navarro's projects outside of Jane's: great guy, unbelievable parts, innovative, exquisite sounds but has to base them off of someone else's ideas and song foundations.

That said I still have great sympathy for the RHCP. To be doing this so long it is still impressive. And they are at least trying and writing new shit every few years.


And to answer the question: no, Jane's wouldn't do that because they suck dick. At least the Peppers are still cool, they live that california life dream, are in fucking shape and don't give a fuck.
