I like Stadium Arcadium, but I can't help but feel that it sounds a bit contrived in parts. But they'll never again reach the greatness of BSSM IMO - it's a very high target to aim for if they were to try. Good mixture of songs though - I just wish people wouldn't judge by singles.

I agree it does sound contrived, but with what that band has been through since their inception; i'm still pleased to get any output from them at all. Still probably the best live act I have ever seen.

The RHCP are probably one of the best bands of the ninetys and now. They have excellent guitar playing. i mean, look at the song "Snow." Did anyone ever try to play that on the guitar? Omg it's so hard. Chillis rock ass!

Can't Stop is one of my favorite songs from them.

They are still good, and I'm surprised as most bands go downhill after a couple of years.

Under the bridge and I could've lied are my favousrites. Blood sugar sex is a great album as is by the way. Californication had good singles, not so keen on it as a whole album same with Mothers Milk.
If you are Chilis fans check out Lahayna they play rock/funk type of music, saw them at the ULU a few months back, great live show

I am suprised to hear you say it is the best live act you have ever seen. Not that I dont love me some good RHCPs. I saw them live and enjoyed the show, but it just wasnt MOVING like some shows are. Maybe if it was back like 10 -15 years ago when you saw them I could see it being amazing... but at Coachella last May I was just like 'hmmph sweet show, whos playing tomorrow?', as opposed to oggling over how amazing the set was.

My favourite Red Hot Chili Peppers song is probably Breaking The Girl.

I do like the band but I wish they wouldn't stick to the same formula over and over again.

That's a absolutely ridiculous statement. What formula are they supposed to be sticking to?

Ridiculous? How?

I find that a lot of their songs stick to the same kind of formula... it's difficult to explain but easy to hear. They tend to use the same rhythm time and time again. I think that's the main problem. And Kiedis sings to the exact tune of the backing music in almost every song instead of moving about a bit to give some variation. Can't Stop would be the best example of the thing I'm talking about here.

Most singers stick to the backing music, and you'd be hard pressed to find a mainstream rock band today that switches up time signatures. They incorparate a wide variety of musical styles, including funk, rock, phsychedelia, punk, and pop.
