listened to some chilis live jams yesterday with john, excellent

John is so good.

I love his sparse, melodic licks like Scar Tissue, Can't Stop and a lot on the By The Way LP.

Me too. I love most of blood sugar sex magic. Lots of by the way. It's going to be very good for the band to reconnect.

Josh Klinghoffer Talks Red Hot Chili Peppers Firing: 'It Truly Felt Like a Death'
"The whole thing has a sadness to it and that's what makes it even weirder," guitarist says of dismissal from band after 10 years
http://www.rollingstone.com/mu...pers-interview-945881/

"It sounds cliché, but it really does sound like a romantic breakup.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. The analogy is perfect and it's almost trite how perfect it is. But it's like, you're dating someone; you love them and care about them. Or you tell yourself you love them. But you're also maybe on the same car insurance plan and it just works. And then your sexy ex comes back around and they're no longer in a dark place. And what you had with them and created with them speaks to another time; it speaks to more record sales. [Laughs] It just makes a little more sense. Like you're a little closer in age; even that alone, it's like you can communicate more. Even if in two years their relationships grow sour again, there's something familiar. So yeah, I'm that person that you love and you care about, but I wasn't there in 1988.

Being in a band is a lot like a marriage. I went off and listened to Frusciante solo music. It really is not that good. abstract and no cohension. But, that might of been what he was after and/or heroin influenced. Don't know, but I did give it a try and ran thru his catalog. I can't get over Apple Music and the ability to access every thing at an instant.

I'll be curious to hear Klinghoffer solo work now.

I'm of course, a long time Chili pepper fan. Being introduced to it w/uplif mofo party plan in 80s. Saw them at small club (Visage) in the 80s back when they were wearing the socks only and barely known band except for college radio listeners. What a fun show that was. I can't remember if I saw them a 2nd time since though.

Klinghoffer is remarkably articulate in his analysis of this. Very mature too.

Last night I listened to Josh Klinghoffer solo album, Pluralone "To Be One With You". Boring to say the least, to say more, It ain't the Chili Peppers. I couldn't listen to all the songs. Maybe someone else can give it a listen and say it is any good.

Red Hot Chili Peppers (with John Frusciante) Announce New Album Unlimited Love

https://consequence.net/2022/0...-love-john-frusciante/

I'm digging the new single.

The Pepps, At Camping World Stadium, Orlando, Thursday September 15th! The Strokes and Thundercat opening...

New album dropped today, April 1st. Gave a quick listen, love the vintage sound. The tone of Frusciante guitar work is defining feature of the pepps...

I would have given anything to make George Clinton the producer and squeeze another funky one out of them. I will give it a listen.

Thnx for the head's up on album release. I'll listen to it today while biking. Always looking for new music! Review later tonight.

Listened to new album start to finish while biking. Really good music. Enjoyed it for a first listen. Lots of different stuff going on. Sounds like they just sat around and jammed. Really good recording as well. All the instruments are well mixed. Can't wait for a 2nd listen now!

Did another bike ride yesterday and listened to the new album again. It's starting to sink in that this album is pretty good with a lot of depth to it. One song that has emerged that may be their first 'single hit' is poster child.

I've listened to the new album almost every day at work. Liked it the first time which is rare. Love it after a dozen listens. Always liked the pepps but honestly just listened to what they played on radio. This is the first RHCP album I have actually bought. Its super good, easy to listen too and has a great variety. My son has tickets to the Orlando show, right up front behind the pit. He's stoked. If you want to hear another super good rock album give Mammoth WVH debut a listen. I would rate that one as excellent even if it was not EVH son. Cheers!

Love the Chilli Peppers.

Mammoth WVH is really good, excellent voice and good songs.

VENUE INFO
Camping World Stadium
Orlando, FL

Son was at the show last night and based on some videos he sent and a convo this morning, it was quite the event. Two hour delay due to storms, they came out while it was still raining with the energy of a bunch of twelve year olds and proceeded to blow up the Camping World stadium. "Epic" is the term used multiple times in his description. How many does that place hold? He said you couldnt see an empty seat plus the grass was packed. 65,000? Whole concert is available online. Said Flea did most of the talking and wore a kilt, and at one point did a headstand and walked across the stage. Still crazy and still killing it. Cheers!

Nice. Long Live the Chili peppers!

Wasn't a kilt, it was a dress. The handstand was pretty cool. I was actually surprised he had on skivies underneath. You could tell Anthony's voice was nearly gone. I suspect there was some vocal support from the sound engineers, but they still killed it. John and Flea groove so well together. They played a great mix of new and old stuff. I'm pretty sure I screwed something important up in my neck jamming out, but totally worth it.

The Strokes performance was cut short and the singer was pissed about it. After the first song they told them they had 10 minutes left.

The rain sucked, but at least it made it nice and cool.

^^^ thanks Dave - good stuff. Seen them a few times, been a fan since that show at the frat house @ UF back in the 80's

60 minutes did a spot on them Sunday. I didn't realize Ant and Flea are in their 60's.

Not bad ,,,,, but sounds like about, 75 other RHCP's songs to me.
