Boritom: There... there are no words...

This is like Pink Floyd releasing an album inspired by Pearl Jam.

I like Pink Floyd and I like Pearl Jam, but that sounds horrible, and I hope it's what you're getting at.

In other news, RHCP to turn Radiohead into generic anthem rock.

FTFY

I stopped listening to them after this album...



it's gone downhill pretty fast since then.

maybe if Radiohead was releasing an album inspired by RHCP...

How could I forget

They are cool to hate on...and I get that. But I still have hope these guys can kick ass. Cut out all the lame ballads, focus on the funk with John and Flea, and quit singing about Cali and maybe, just maybe, it will be a great...or good...album.

I hope.

/I like their old stuff and even Californication and quite a few songs on BTW...but Stadium Arcadium is lame

Didn't they disband just recently?

I'll repeat what I said in the last couple RHCP threads just in case the universe is listening this time:

Since John and Flea's most inspired playing has been on The Mars Volta albums, they should have Omar Rodgriguez Lopez of TMV produce the new Chilis album. Or call it a career.

Pretty much THIS.

Now if they ditched their singer, decided to make a straight up nosebleed funk album, then Id sit up and pay attention

Radiohead and RHCP don't mix, there's no way that Thom Yorke can match the vocal range of Anthony Kiedis

Don't worry, this won't change their sound significantly. There has been a streak of artists lately saying they have a "radiohead-styled" new album. For instance, Jack Johnson said it (WTF?). Same exact sound as his previous albums. Bloc Party actually gave it a helluva a shot, but they were still pretty new and hadn't really established a sound.

I predict the same sound with a few synth tics here and there. Maybe a drum machine in a song or two.

I really don't understand the Radiohead hate on fark. They are possibly the only modern band that can have a Number One album while still maintaining artistic integrity.

Every band sucks. There was a group of pygmy chimps that played kazoos that we all liked for a minute, but then they were interviewed by Pitchfork and we decided that they do indeed suck too.

A Mars Volta-inspired album from them would make more sense.

UHHMMM, comments like that are why we hate radiohead. It has little to do with the band or the music.

I think he just means they're going to dedicate the next album to ripping off a semi-obscure 80s band.

It's Fark, where all music sucks, and it's very, very important for people to know which bands you dislike.

Except for Rush and Dream Theater. Those two seem to get near universal love on Fark, for some reason.

Don't forget "Weird" Al Yankovic

Good point.

Though it's not actually possible to dislike Weird Al, is it?

I can explain that. See, a lot of the people on here are computer nerds/coders/programmers/IT type people, people who dedicate their lives to intricate arrangements, arcane methods, and high-end, custom-tailored gear to perform specific functions. Bands like Rush, Dream Theater, King Crimson, etc (prog rock generally), like computer code, is heavy on technique, precision, and intricate arrangements using high-end, custom tailored gear that all serves a purpose.

Also, the musicians all have goatees and ponytails and still get laid, so really, they're folk heroes to a lot of people on here.

shoegaze99: Good point.

It's like the Radiohead hate. It's not really about liking or disliking the artist. It's that it bothers people when EVERYBODY LOVES the band. I, personally, am offended by the Weird Al love.

NorCalLos: I, personally, am offended by the Weird Al love.

I'll make you a deal. Though I like Weird Al well enough, I'll express my disdain for him and his music when I see his name come up. You do the same. I'm sure someone else will come out of the woodwork to back us up, too. You know, like how if you stood in a public spot and stared at something off in the distance, other people will look, too? It will be fun for the whole family.

we're just trying to fill the void left by the passing of his parents :(

Funny. I just saw that headline while searching for the thread I linked. I found it curious that the link was from my hometown newspaper. Didn't actually read the article. Were his parents really found dead in their home? Murder?

I just checked. I was writing a comic script that day. I would have been home. You should have called.

What's a comic script?

A script for a comic.

I've hated RHCP ever since that Under The Bridge shiitfest

Up to then I was a fan.

shoegaze99: A script for a comic.

oh...comic book...I was thinking Sunday comics...durr...

RHCP are great, as are Radiohead. I'm very interested to hear the album when it's released. Get over yourselves, music snobs ;)

Will they sing about Northampton in place of California?
