Sir Psycho Sexy

[Slade]

Yeah this song is great. The lyrics are.....interesting
My favorite part of the song, though, is when the music switches near the end to a long instrumental dominated by guitar. So cool. 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' is a very cool album

For the record, I'm not biased and enjoy both the old and new material from the Chilis.

[Sunny Day Suicide]

I'm not biased. I have my reasonings. Their new stuff sucks because it's nothing like the old and doesn't live up to it. Their turning kind of poppish. Where's the funk? Where's the hardcore jams?

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

It's in thier, it's just not as exclusive as it was before. You have to understand, they aren't 20-year-old kids anymore. They in thier fourties and as they mature, so does thier music. I totally enjoy rocking out with the old-skool Peppers as much as anybody, but thier new music defiantly holds it's own. I don't think you're giving it a good enough chance. Check out Storm in a Teacup if you want to rock out. Seriously, I love that song.

Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeah!!! He's the man that I met one time......

Agreed on all points. That instrumental is unreal.

Im so glad to see others give songs like that the recognition it deserves! They're my favorite band of all time. And I'm finally going to get to see them this nov in the motor city

You think their new stuff is different? Try checking out their pre-BSSM albums, like Freaky Styley, and Uplift Mofo Party Plan, for instance. Some of it is much more closer to the old George Clinton P-funk stuff. Then there's Mother's Milk, which is a little Punkier and hardcore. Much different than anything on BSSM and after. I still love it, though.

BSSM is my favorite album of all time. Stadium Arcadium is a great album, a little more funkier than By The Way. They seemed to mellow out a bit in Californication and By The Way, but threw in a few more funkier, energetic songs on Stadium Arcadium.

SHE'S STONE COLD BUSH!!!!

I'll try it right now.

I understand that bands mature and with them their music, I just prefer their "adolescence," so to speak. No hard feelings against them for progressing as people/ a band/ etc., but if I want to hear RHCP I'll pop in my BSSM CD or perhaps One Hot Minute.

Sometimes they just run out of good material. *cough*Metallica*cough*

What's funny is that they were already pretty "mature" when One Hot Minute was released. They had been around for over a decade at that point.

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

When the new guitarist came that´s when they recovered!

if you're referring to John Fruciante, he was with them already since Mother's Milk in '87. He left in 92 after doing BSSM, Navarro (previously of jane's addiction) joined, did One Hot Minute, and left again around '98. Fruciante then came back around '99, did californication, and they lived happily ever after.

but yeah, that was somewhat of a recovery

[Sunny Day Suicide]

Wasn't Hillel Slovak in there somewhere? And I never knew why he left, John I mean.

[Eureka]

what's this thread about O_o lol

[crazybayman]

Wasn't Hillel Slovak in there somewhere? And I never knew why he left, John I mean.

Slovak was the original guitarist, dating back to 1983 or 1984. They released the self titled debut, Freaky Styley, and the Uplift Mofo Party Plan albums with Slovak. He left at one point during the 80's, Jack Sherman came on board for a short while (I think, and Sherman actually may have recorded the self title debut), but Slovak eventually returned to do the rest of the albums. He died though, of a heroine overdose sometime before Mother's Milk. A young teenage phenom named John Frusciante then had an audition, and the peppers were actually going to recommend him to another band, but they wound up taking him on, and they recorded Mother's Milk, and a few years later Blood Sugar Sex Magic.

When they hit superstardom from BSSM's release, Fruciante left the band while on tour in 1992, because he didn't like where superstardon was taking them, how it was changing them.....or something like that.

[Doomie]

Frusciante*, I think. >_< And yeah, don't say you hate Stadium Arcadium, as it's songs are wonderful. I especially enjoy Jupiter. I think it hits the same spot that Californication and By The Way did. There songs actually have some meaning, where as in BSSM and One Hot Minute (Excellent albums, for the record.), there was just ramdomized rambling. Excluding My Friends, of course, which is another emotional song.

Why is that funny? I said adolescence intentionally to refer to a "sort of" middle-period of the band's existence.

How you fig'er?
