The other day I wrote about Dave Grohl announcing a hiatus for the Foo Fighters', but of course they weren't the first big rock band to do as such. The Red Hot Chili Peppers already commenced a hiatus last year after finishing their Stadium Arcadium world tour in August 2007, to allow for band members to focus on their private lives, families, solo/side projects and so on. At the time, the lack of official communication concerning their hiatus caused familiar break-up ru... MORE
It's hard to imagine a viable alternative music culture without the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the helm. That is true. With that being said, you probably know how I feel about the commercialization of their music and the homogenization that occurred in their sound after the single "Under the Bridge" transformed them into corporate cash cows. They'd been Sugar Ray'ed. So, for me, the music hasn't been viable since 1991's _Blood Sugar Sex Magik_, which coincidentally was t... MORE

In the category of pointless surveys, this week Brunel University London came out with the results of their latest research, letting 30 participants (what do you mean, "small-scale" project) run on treadmills to the beat of popular tracks to prove that motivational music could create a 15% increase in endurance. http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/listening-to-queen-can-help-you-run-faster-176001 So the conclusion: listening to music can increase your physical enduran...

...the response from the show's creator sounds like such a crock of shit, don'tcha think? Nov 19, 11:26 PM EST Red Hot Chili Peppers Sue Showtime LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Red Hot Chili Peppers on Monday sued Showtime Networks over the name of the television series "Californication," which is also the name of the band's 1999 album and a single on it. The lawsuit alleges unfair competition, dilution of the value of the name and unjust enrichment, claiming the titl... MORE
I’ve been fishing through my old record collection again today and look at the gem I found: a Red Hot Chili Peppers shaped picture disc for the single 'Knock Me Down'. Photo #1: Red Hot Chili Peppers Knock Me Down Picture Disc From the 1989 album Mother's Milk, Knock Me Down depicts negativity towards the stereotypically self-centred lifestyle of your typical rock star. The band's opposition is displayed through their lyrics: "If you see me getting mighty... MORE
My previous post about this disappeared into MOG Space, so here's another attempt. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, after releasing their 2006 album Stadium Arcadium and the subsequent tour which ended in Leeds, UK, in August 2007, decided to take a one-year-break to recuperate and focus on family life and individual projects. Bassist Flea is focusing on his family as well as his Silverlake Conservatory of Music charity, guitarist John Frusciante is to release a solo album l... MORE
I'd like to take this time to wish my friends a Merry Christmas by playing a light-hearted take on a Christmas staple, by Our friends, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This one is from the last Chili Peppers album I ever bought, 1994's _Out In L.A._
"Me And My Friends: Red Hot Chili Peppers", the photo book chronicling several years of RHCP history in pictures by British photographer Tony Woolliscroft, will be published on Friday, October 24, 2008.
