@mrfenderbenderman RHCP has made insane numbers of great songs and a lot of good albums to, but if i had to chose which one was their worst, then yes stadium arcadium,but sure it has some good songs too! Dani California, Snow, she looks to me, slow cheeta...
I was watching this documentary that featured anthony's dad and his dad was reading the lyrics to this song and got choked up over it. btw the documentary was named help my kids a rockstar.
@mauritiothemasterone Sometime I wonder how many lives John actually saved by saving his own life. Like how many people turned around their lives cause of his music? It's probably in the thousands.
I can't wait for the new album. It should be great, but I can bet all the money in the world the Chilis could never make an album better than Stadium Arcadium.
my favorites Parallel Universe and Savior JF never done a performance live like in the originals. :( Best John Frusciante guitar performance ever in Parallel Universe.
RHCP does not drop an album like several new artists do. However, I would listen to ONE RHCP track over entire albums by many "modern" artists. The quality of their music so above par; 90% of what is on the radio makes me sick.
The Truth is the RHCP Are more real and authentic then any "Pop" or "Rap" artist. Its because you know that they show emotion that makes them great. This is also the reason Nirvana was so popular. God I wish I didn't hear so much pop...
in reply to young jaedong: although i do agree that RHCP are more real and authentic than MOST rap artists, the majority of underground rappers are real. Ex: Sadistik, Aesop Rock, Eyedea
i dont know why but i always feel like i'm driving through an empty darkened city in a car with the roof down. the cool wind in my hair and the music just makes me relax. this is one of the best songs ever
My favourite on Californication, should have been released as single... but actually nearby every song on this album should have been released as single!!
When I Hear This All I Can think of is... jumping outta of a plain... oppening my parachutes... listening to this music... feeling the wind... auauhahua
i'm talking about later on with Stadium Arcadium...now i read an article in Rolling Stone back in Spring I think of 2006 and the article stated that Flea was thinking about quitting because of him disagreeing artistically with John over riffs or basslines. It was on the issue where they were the cover when Stadium Arcadium came out. Check it out, its been a few years since i've read it and let me know...
also, in that same article, there was a section on John talking about how he left the peppers a few times but always came back and how the Peppers was the only Rock Band he's actually ever really been apart of. It also mentioned how him and Anthony along with the others, split after blood sugar sex magic, because he got tired of partying, chasing girls, etc... my memory is a bit clouded but, that was all in the article....check it out and let me know...
Anthony and John didn't talk for months before John left. If they met in the corridor they didn't say hi.
And he didn't quit for rehab, he quit because he didn't like the fame and when he had quit he decided to become a junkie. he lay in his appartment all alone, took drugs and wrote music and painted. he went to rehad 1997 and came back afterwards :D
@RHCPFreaklol yes it's about anthony's dad, anthony's dad said so on a uk tv show, he read the lyrics and choked up crying... i love this song, i think people can relate it to it alot of things... but thats music for you, being interpreted in different ways.
Does Anyone else think Stadium Arcadium is their worst album?
It's good but theres waay to many just ok songs.
