Red Hot Chili Peppers for 2012 (cause Neutralmilkhotel the boardie wants it)

[hendrixfan143]

who is playing for them now that Frusciante is out?

John F is a hack klinghoffer is much better

[TallGuyCM]

Who's better isn't the question. Frusciante's style WAS that band's sound, no way Klinghoffer fits in anywhere near as well.

[nathanfairchild]

Not surprising but their new song is so incredibly bad.

true, but if anyone would be able to do it. It would be klinghoffer. I love John's guitar playing just can't stand his voice. Klinghoffer can sound almost the same on guitar

Secret show review from David Fricke. Mauro Refosco, who was in Atoms for Peace, is playing with them now.

[nathanfairchild]

lol, seriously?

[captncrzy]

Is that Harrison Ford?

[paulb]

No its Will Ferrell

[blackchango]

Oh gawd please noooo!!!

[lookalive24]

New album is streaming on iTunes if anybody cares...

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Neutralmilkhotel ... the boardie.

[noolan]

3 Tracks in, so far nothing awful, but no track that's got me overly excited.

[koryp]

Against better judgement we're also giving it a try. I wish I had a bag of doritos.

[noolan]

Not a "Jump the shark" album, but not a great one either. In the event they are one of the headliners, I will be else where.

[koryp]

On "Look Around", Kiedis tells me "it's emotional" and I don't believe him. I used to believe him when he sang something like that.

[T-REV]

The greatness that is the Red Hot Chili Peppers and their entire body of work shits all over your pathetic lives. Fuck You. I'll admit they sucked in '07, though. Thank you.

Secret show review from David Fricke. Mauro Refosco, who was in Atoms for Peace, is playing with them now.

Fricke used "flair" twice in the same sentence.

I like Red Hot Chili Peppers from way back, but I haven't really paid much attention to anything they've done since Frusciante left the first time. I'd be okay with their playing Coachella, though I'd also be okay with them not being there. There have been three headliners I dislike more than Red Hot Chili Peppers in the three years I've gone (Jack Johnson, the Killers, Kings of Leon) and I've still managed to have an amazing time.

[sbessiso]

Is it just me or is the new guitar player foxy?

[far gone and out]

i'm always so shocked at how many people love rhcp and go one about their live shows.

i've seen a handful of shows over the years and always walked away shaking my head thinking "how can one band be so bad live?".

the new music is just shit too.

[hendrixfan143]

What is bad about this performance.

[koryp]

So, you had to go back to 2005 to find a good performance of a 1991 song. This pretty much sums up my feelings on this band. KTHNXBYE

[hendrixfan143]

yeah i spent hours searching for that video to prove a point

[koryp]

I understand. It's hard to let go. They used to be so good. That day has past.

[Miroir Noir]

What are your upcoming touring plans?

We're touring everywhere. We've been to Asia, we go to South America in September, we're going to Europe for the rest of the year and we start in North America in the first of the year. We're going to go probably for 18 months. And as I sit here talking to you, it sounds a little daunting but we've been off for quite some time and having Josh in the band, the energy around him feels really new and refreshed. I think that we're gonna have a great time playing. We don't kill ourselves; we don't go for like two months straight. We do three weeks on, take 10 days off. It's all very manageable. But I'm looking forward to be playing our music for people and hopefully they'll show up.

[CellarOwl]

Anytime I see a press quote saying a band is re-energized, I always picture them burnt out after the tour, digging heroin out of a shag carpet and prepping the followup album that "literally saved their lives."

[suprefan]

Well look at that.... Year late, but it happened.

[themonstermash]

Incredible news, such a strong get for Coachella. North America has been waiting for this band for far too long, other festivals must be up in arms with envy. Going to be super exclusive, and only at Coachella 2013!

[Nealocus]

Pretty awkward how obsessed you all are with this band.
