Huge drug problemsIt's been so long, but why did Frusciante leave RHCP in the first place?
Pretty much feel the same way as you about Dream Theater but man, their new album was surprisingly solid after a slew of mediocre albums.
Images and Words is pretty much the only DT album I care to listen to now.
They did. By The Way and Stadium Arcadium.Hope it also means they're finally going to evolve past Californication after 20 years.
Really wish they'd replace LaBrie, as he's far past his prime. But it's obvious at this point that it will never happen.yeah, at its worst it's just some solid, inoffensive prog-metal. At its best, it's really memorable for a band composed of 50+ year old guys who aren't at the forefront of their genre anymore. Shame about LaBrie's vocal decay, though - it's REALLY noticeable on this album.
Yeah, I saw them both at a 2006 RHCP concert and it was awesomeI'm kind of surprised they aren't keeping Josh around. He toured with them on Frusciante's last tour and they played some songs like This Velvet Glove they would not otherwise play. I'd love to hear an album with all 5z
Still, I love Frusciante, so this is great news anyway.
Who cares? They've been making the same song for at least twenty years now. Almost as bad and predictable as Bon Jovi.
Not really, that was a continuation of the direction they took with Californiacation.
Yeah, that was the second Frusciante era. It was a great direction and I hope they continue it.Not really, that was a continuation of the direction they took with Californiacation.
Not cool dude.I can't believe it. Does he just leave the band until he's run out of drug money and must rejoin to rebuild his bank account? I am hype for this regardless. The Chilis only make great albums when John is on board.
I felt the same way.
100%

Stadium Arcadium is a return to funk rock, even if it has some softer melodic tracks.
I mean, just listen to this:
Stadium Arcadium is both eras of RHCP in a beautiful 2 disc fusion. It's one of their best works.

First time? Heroin problems.It's been so long, but why did Frusciante leave RHCP in the first place?
It's super fucking underrated. Like, genuinely.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Hardly. It's one of their best albums with a lot of great experimentation on it. John's solo on 'Hey' is incredible.90's me would be thrilled, but Stadium Arcadian was such a wet fart.
Frusciante is a legend. I'm curious if he's going to incorporate some of recent solo sound into RHCP.
