Erase yourself, pencil scratch.
RHCP is one of the greatest bands of all time.
Elijah Long
I know that, they're my favorite band. Go check and see which members were actually born in California though.
Grayson Roberts

Angel Davis
Josh and Jack Irons. None of the best members were born in California
Alexander White
When will froosh make his comeback, I feel like the possibility is there now. I hope he's okay.
Christopher White
He's okay, he's just doing what he wants now and he's happy (I hope). He's also their best member. I wonder what kind of terms he's on with the other members.
Jason Morgan
Do RHCP actually sing about California that much?
Outside of Under the Bridge and Californication, they don't sing about it much
Easton Rivera

How can you listen to Pink Cigarette and say a song like Scar Tissue is better?
Ryan Campbell
What goes through someone's head when they make a post this wrong?
>I've got a song that's so great that it blows the other band's song that I don't like away, they can't even refute it
Scar Tissue is much better than Pink Cigarette.
Brayden Carter

The Red Hot Chili Peppers [EMI America, 1984]
As minstrelsy goes, this is as good as it gets (and minstrelsy it had better be). The reason it doesn't quite come off as good-natured can be found in this mysterious observation from spokesperson Flea--"Kurtis Blow and Grandmaster Flash have great raps but not the great music to go along with them." Coming from a bassist, that's serious delusion. B-
Mother's Milk [EMI, 1989]
Punks who loved Hendrix and P-Funk, they've decided to cash in on their excellent tastes. Problem is, they didn't have the chops to pull it off before, and now that they've pushed the guitar up front, they sound even cruder. But I'm sure they're nice guys and all--even mention compassion in the first verse of the first song. C+
Blood Sugar Sex Magik [Warner Bros., 1991]
they've grown up, they've learned to write, they've earned the right to be sex mystiks ("Give It Away", "Breaking The Girl") *
One Hot Minute [Warner Bros., 1995] *bomb*
Californication [Warner Bros., 1999]
new age fuck fiends ("Scar Tissue", "Purple Stain") *

By The Way [Warner Bros., 2002]
How desperate professional rock scribes are for remaining bands of any commercial clout that this release was greeted with Hosannas in a slow news month. This piece of let's-slow-things-down-a-little isn't too bad unless you were expecting thee funk, but it is a turn or two slacker than Californication. Problem being that it's not enough to suddenly get all mature and spiritual, you also need to have something to say about maturity. And unless I'm mistaken, Anthony Kiedis has never had one thing to say about anything else. B-
Stadium Arcadium [Warner Bros., 2006]
The old familiar tale of a band's validation by Grammy award plus the old familiar double-album-that-should-have-been-a-single reveals a few things. Firstly, this is an '80s band--their spiritual center, such as it is, is rooted in the agony and ecstasy of heroin and cocaine. Once a bassist's band, they're now ruled by the guitarist. At least back when the bassist ruled, they enlivened this overworked dynamic with beats. Now they tax it with tunes, at least when they're on their game, such as the dead-end relationship song "Desecration Smile" and the marriage proposal "Put A Ring On It". B-
