    They sucked as a skater band because they had no substance and weren't fast or... even listenable. They became mainstream when minimalist crap was hot. I hope it's over, because these guys are garbage. But Flea is the best bassist blah blah blah Bass? Look. Good bassists are almost completely unnoticeable. If this guy stands out, its because the rest of the band is too busy being awful to drown him out.

    They were better when they were on the drugs, and every single song wasnt about california, or his ex wife...

    These guys I just do not get at all. I guess I am not a fan of grunge if that is what they are. Talk about over played if I here Californicaton again I am going to screem.  OK beavis well you wish you could suck because you didn't even read the review. So Jr. go back and read it again, OJ. OH and who make you spelling monitor. These morons give grunge a bad name if they even were grunge.

    Some noteworthy songs in there, but seemed to lose their flare when they were sensationalized by pop culture and their songs were persistently overplayed on the airwaves. Other than "Under the Bridge" and a few other hits, nothing to write home about.

    The ratio of filler material to great songs is very large for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  All of their best material from the last 25 years could be consolidated into one excellent album.  The rest of their work is disposable.

    The Red Hot Chili Peppers are another group I consider overrated as a general rule. The band clearly was a leader in adding a funk influence to their primary hard rock sound and they did have some highlights pre "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" (1991) (e.g. their killer cover of "Higher Ground"), but they have really been hit or miss since. Somewhere along the way the Chili Peppers lost an edge.

    The all around best rock band ever. Everything about their music is great, especially the bass and vocals. Absolutely amazing!

    You kids got no respect! Sure they're a bit silly, but man could these guys do the white boy funk thing. Back in the mid-1980s they appeared on these old Skate Rock compilations, and we'd throw down a skate session to Freaky Styley, The Uplift MoFo Party Plan or Mother's Milk. Funky, oh yeah. Blood Sugar Sex Magik had some great tunes, but needed some editing-- some of the content not so good. They've come of age alright too, but have always been pretty hit and miss. I chuckled to read Californication referred to by one rater as their old stuff. Another rater had it right though-- their live shows leave a bit to be desired (sloppy), and that hurts the rating for sure.

    They are one of the best and most important alternative bands, an obvious influence on today's generation of alternative.

    Classic case of a band being less than the sum of its parts. Flea's an excellent bassist and Fruscianti's a good guitarist. Shame that the music's so crap.

    They're ok. Quite old and played out now, though, so I'm a bit sick of them. I don't like their new stuff at all. They're old stuff was good. I have the Californication album and that is pretty good.

    I liked their older songs. Their newer songs tend to remind me of the other bands out there who don't quite deserve recognition. I'm rating them a three, though, because I did like their older songs and they do have talent.

    Great band with loads of musical talent. They have put out 9 great albums and all of them are different from each other. All of the members are great at what they do, and while their music has changed a lot since they started, it has not slipped in quality.

    Talk about a change in music over the years. Back in the Freaky Styley and Uplift days, funk was the only way to go for the Peppers. In their recent albums, they have expanded into wide varieties of music with excellent songwriting. It's o.k. to progress into different genres (i.e. Beatles), despite what some people say. Any way you look at it, they have great records and great musicianship between drummer Chad Smith and bassist Flea. The down side to these guys is the live show. Frusciante is a sloppy and overrated guitar player and Kiedis is often off key. Despite this, they have great records to listen to.

    Saw these guys live a while back, and they put on a great show. Some of their stuff gets a little on the weird side sometimes, but they're definitely talented.

    You know, I listened to Chili Peppers for a long time before really liking them. I mean Higher Ground on Mother's Milk was cool and everything, but it was hard for me to get into the beat, being an 80's rocker and all. But it all changed with Blood Suger Sex Magik. Then I started getting into the lyrics and realizing how good RHCP really were.... The lyrics were nasty like Sir Psycho Sexy, mellow like Under the Bridge, and passionate like Power of Equality: "Little brother do you hear me- Have a heart oh come get near me- Misery is not my friend- But I'll break before I bend- What I see is insanity- Whatever happened to humanity" Since then, I've been hooked, and the I love the riffs that support it as much as the lyrics themselves. Their concerts are great and full of energy, and also telling because you can see the age mixture of young and old fans alike. I am just looking forward to the next 5 albums to see where they go musically, because I'm ready for it now!

    never realized how good a basist flea was nutil i picked up the instrument my self. very original and different. anthony keidis has a good voice though most of the time i don't know what he is singing about. try a few less metaphors or mabee less drugs.

    Chili peppers rock..Anthony & Flea are sexy bitches..& their music is better than all the new bands out there & they've been around a long time, that proves they're a great band. if you don't like them you suck & you should probably try listening to their older music before you judge them.

    the red hot chili pepperes are one of the greatest rock bands of all time!!!!! no other band has been able to combine rock,funk,rap,thrash and punk. despite of what anybody says they are survivors,musical icons and musical legends.this powerfull band revolutionized a whole a whole musical movement,if it wasn't for them we probably wouldn't have "rock-rap" bands like limp bizkit,linkin park or papa roach.RHCP # 1 4 LIFE !!!!!

    this is one of the few bands that comes up w/ there on lyrics and tabs, ect. not only do they have musical talent, but they change there style of music to the liking of the changing world. not to many bands have the talent to be as good as they have been for two decades.
