I guess I didn't watch enough of the divisional games to see this in the commercials - just noticed it during the conference championship games. An interesting pairing, them and Bruno.

I was a fan when Slovak was around and Fruciante's first go around. Everything since then (and even at the end of Fruciante's first stint) was pretty over-produced. Sure they became more mature and better musicians but they lost that vibrant youthful soul/energy that attracted me to them in the first place. Sometimes better isn't better. I'm guessing most would consider Blood Sugar their definitive album though I'd go with Mother's Milk with Uplift Mofo running a close second. See what all those things have in common? They were decades ago. The way I see the band they had two distinct phases - post Blood Sugar and pre. I vastly preferred the pre. I never cared for Californication, By the Way, One Hot Minute or Stadium Arcadium though to be truthful by the last few I stopped giving them my full attention to listen all the way through - it was just no longer for me. And Navarro, while a fine guitarist, was never a good fit for the Chili Peppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Agreed with your assessment of Frusciante. The interplay of his guitar and Flea's bass is essential to the chili sound. The only problem with Stadium was the total overcompression. Barely listenable on some stereos. Disagree on Foos, tho. Any album with a tune like White Limo on it is OK in my book. The whole Wasting Light album was recorded analog, so it has a fantastic warmth to it, although whoever mastered it could have done a better job. Since it was analog, and the instruments couldn't be tweaked and faked like you can on a digital recording, it couldn't be produced the same way. Retakes were punched in and out, not cut and pasted. all the way back to their most definitive album, Stadium Arcadium? aka the second to last album they delivered? my goodness, next to Westerberg's 49:00, that was one of the best albums to come out in the 2000s.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 So what do you guys think is more likely? That, as the story said, Bruno invited RHCP to the gig? OR that the powers that be got some survey numbers back that said the SB audience really has little to no interest in Bruno and a change was needed?

Pretty much agree...It's definitely Blood Sugar for me with uplift a close 2nd...And I did like Californication a lot...But for me at least everything after just kind of sounded like Californication...And I go bored with it all...

cvanvol Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I saw them live two years ago and they were the worst headliner at Roo that year. It just didnt sound right and the vibe wasnt there. Still think they are pretty good. I think Bruno is a heck of a performer and I think his halftime show will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 At least we don't have to watch Miley Cyrus twerk all over the place. BSSM was my fave album in high school. Like most bands, they went pop-y and soft. To those vying for Metallica, isn't going to happen.

boyst Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I saw them at the all star race a few years ago. They'll need to improve on the sound from that if they want good audio. It was a lousy presentation. I cannot wait for the dozen year it will take for Linkin Park, Eminem, Foo Fighters to do this. I have no doubt if Cobain was alive Nirvana would play the SB.

Like most bands, they went pop-y and soft. To those vying for Metallica, isn't going to happen. Too small of a listening base, and their music hasn't been enjoyable to most metal heads since the Black Album. Blood Sugar was the beginning of their pop transition though. Sure, a lot of it is similar to their earlier stuff but more polished but songs like Breaking the Girl and Under the Bridge were the types of songs you'd never have heard from them on previous albums. The same goes for Metallica. Their self titled "black" album was the beginning of the end. Suddenly their 8 minute jam-season like songs were cut to 3-4 minutes so they could get video and radio time. And tunes like "The Unforgiven" and "Nothing Else Matters" were the warning shot fired across the bow. When I heard those songs I knew the Metallica I loved was pretty much over. Even the much loved "Enter Sandman" is more mainstream metal than tracks on their previous albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any post-Slovak RHCP sans Frusciante = crap. I'm more excited to see Bruno Mars. You ever heard of his biggest hit - Locked out of heaven? Then listen to any Sting/Police song. The year that song was popular, Sting came out and sang half of it with BM at one of the award craptaculars. It was a not-so-subtle way for Sting to tell everyone, "you're welcome, Bruno." No band or artist has/will ever rip off the Police. They are a one of a kind band who, in my opinion, created their own genre that no one else has ever been able to master. As far as solo Sting goes, none of it ever sounded anything like any Bruno Mars song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 If they don't resurrect Hillel Slovak and bring back Jack Irons to only play songs off of the Uplift Mofo Party Plan, then I will throw my television out the window and move to Russia. Also, to whoever said Bruno Mars is a ripoff of Sting/The Police, you are a bad person and should feel bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
