    Say what you will about the Peppers, at least they’re not going the way of KISS and the fucking Beach Boys at this point in their career. They continue to prove that they can put out strong material that tops the charts but is also just cool music on its own merits regardless of chart performance. Should they keep doing this into their 80s? No. They have about 10 years left before it gets weird to see these guys playing the kind of music that they play at an advanced age. As a lifelong fan, I’m enjoying them and appreciating them as much as I can, while I can, because the train only has a few more stops. They’re not pumping out Scar Tissues and Under The Bridges anymore, but damn if it isn’t a really fun time to be a big Chili Peppers fan.

      Return of the Dream Canteen is the 7th album with John. Which means Frusciante played on 53% of all the RHCP albums and all other guitarists together played on 47% albums (7 out of 13). Dream Canteen tipped the majority of RHCP discography in favour of Frusciante.

      Yeah, rating these albums almost doesn't make sense. If you take the 12 strongest songs between the two albums, you have a true gem. Same could be said for Stadium Arcadium - 12 best songs there are one of the best albums of the 2000s. Getting penalized for releasing more music seems weird. Just don't listen to the songs you don't like - it's a few clicks to make a playlist of your faves on a streaming service. I love this approach, versus waiting years to release outtakes.

And I think that’s why I’ve grown to their new stuff too because In The Snow and LaLaLaLaLaLaLa just create such a great feel that makes me want to be in a dark room and project a light show on the ceiling that looks a little like the northern lights.

    Seems like one of Fantano’s major issues with the band is the nonsense in the lyrics, which i totally understand.
    Personally though, as a non native english speaker, i tend to focus more on the musicality if the words rather than the meaning, and in that department i feel like Kiedis excells. Other than that i feel like the band has never put out anything remotely bad, but i get some of the criticism.

Yeah he’s weird, but he’s attained the highest level of career success doing it because people love it. There’s a point where you need to realize that the red hot chili peppers are inherently goofy, and repeatedly criticizing a band for being goofy when they’ve made their entire career out of being goofy is a lazy and pointless critique.

    In The Snow is a masterpiece. Upon several listens of the outside looking in covered in blankets of snow. It’s just him n his muse. The spoken word does it perfectly placed poetic justification. Something only the someone can understand.

      I had to have a listen just to see if this is true and sure enough, its one of the worst songs I've ever heard. That drum machine is embarrassing. Everything about it is embarrassing.

    Saw the tour for this live, the strokes opened for rhcp right after Thunder cat warmed up the crowed, after the strokes did a song or two Eddie Vedder came out and did a cover of “Juicebox”, I’d never heard juicebox before the concert so now whenever I hear the original song it just doesn’t sound as good as eddie at all, will never forget it.
