Red Hot Chili Peppers to return

Least exciting comeback news????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! This is the BEST news all year! Poo Poo on you and for you being a downer. Why did you even cover this story if you are less than thrilled that it is happening??

Really Jamie? You are obviously jealous. Say.. maybe you wanted to be a rock star but failed and settled for writing in a magazine about them. Maybe you want to go join Flea’s music school. Ha? No talent ass clown.

I was talking about these to a friend earlier tonight actually.

If they’re going to record then I think this is a terrible idea. Apparently they didn’t get to choose any of the songs that went on that double disc abomination a few years ago, it was pretty much all the label, so they NEED to sort that out first, then they need to start writing some interesting music again. Clearly they’re capable when apart, Frusciante’s solo stuff and work with The Mars Volta has been fantastic, but they seem to have lost something as a band in recent records.

Lots of people will be happy they’re back and that’s great, but lots of people were also happy to sit through their utterly turgid Leeds Festival performance a couple of years ago, it doesn’t mean it’s the right option. I remember leaving the main stage after about half an hour and people stopping my friends and I and saying, “What are you doing?! It’s the Chilis!”. Yes, it was the Chilis, but just because it was them, it didn’t mean it was good. Granted it was the final gig of a year long tour blah blah blah… but I think they’re well past their best.

They’ll need to produce something very, very special to rekindle any real appreciation from a lot of disillusioned fans after the last two albums. They’re like a funk version of Metallica. Californiacation/By The Way is their Black Album. No use flogging a dead horse. Get back together by all means, but it’s probably best to just play live and bang out the hits from now on.

I hope they prove me wrong, but I very much doubt they will.

First time i’ve come to this crappy site. I didn’t know non-diplomatic opinions were still acceptable in writing pseudo-articles.

So what’s the point in writing an article about a band you don’t even like? If you’re supposed to just be giving the facts about them reuniting then why throw in your own idiotic opinion. Many people are thrilled about the news but you consider it “the least exciting comeback news”…if you’re trying to become a good writer that poeple enjoy reading from, i suggest you leave your unkind remarks out.

I agree with stephen for the most part, but i wouldn’t call stadium an abomination. I would love to go to a concert and hear them jam the good, old stuff.

“So what’s the point in writing an article about a band you don’t even like”

-That has to be one of the most idiotic comments I have ever heard.

“If you’re trying to become a good writer, leave the unkind remarks out”

-Ok, now that is the most idiotic comment I have ever heard.

I don’t know what kind of Prozac-journalism euphoria you want, but I hope you know ‘a good writer’ doesn’t only tackle subjects that make them feel all warn and fuzzy inside.

Pepperist: Great job trying to sound intelligent. Unfortunately you failed miserably. Please tell me, what is a pseudo-article?

All mocking aside, I couldn’t agree more with Jamie. Chili’s are atrociously overrated, and Stadium Arcadium was almost impossibly shitty. Plus they’ve been away for two years? Big fucking deal, in the world of rock music, that’s just a blip. Personally, I wish they stay away for much longer, because that last double album was some of the most lame, cookie-cutter assembly line shit that wasn’t worth a pound of piss on its best day.

Oh, and my apologies Haley, this is the dumbest comment I have ever read:

“Really Jamie? You are obviously jealous. Say.. maybe you wanted to be a rock star but failed and settled for writing in a magazine about them. Maybe you want to go join Flea’s music school. Ha? No talent ass clown.”

Chili fans make Kiss Army look like card carrying Mensa members.

I have to say that you, as a writer, have leave out all your personal opinions.
I personally like the peppers very much, and in this way you wont be famed by me.

And if you say they arent very good artists, youre right
but the most of the latest pop artists are way worse
people who cant sing just make songs and make their voices sound nice by computers

And Im happy the peppers will comeback,
and you dont have to be happy for it,
but you shoudnt leave your own opinions in your article if you want to be a good writer

if you want to do so, you have to write a review

later
