RHCP's newest single (I think)

Thoughts? Reviews? Issues?

Titan · 11-14-2003, 12:11 AM

I'm a fan so far. John shines and Anthony sounds good on this one. I also like Flea's bass on the bridge. Yep, I like it a lot. I probably love Anthony Keidis.

Is this from their greatest hits album then? It is.

Just watched the video. Very cool.
They know how to make a good performance-based video.

I like how they drew(?) with the lights. It's a neat effect.
Had Fortune Faded been released on an earlier album?

I'm 99% sure it was just a new song for the greatest hits album.

There was another one on there I didn't recognize either...

Lots of bands seem to be coming out with greatest hits albums lately... No Doubt... REM... I know there are more but I can't think of them...

Has anyone heard "Bad Day" by REM? It's new isn't it? I fucking love it, much more than some of their other recent stuff. It's cool. I saw some little clip on the cover of a magazine that said something to the effect of (quoting REM) "We hate the world," they're not shiney happy people, or something. Being pissed off is awesome, especially being pissed off at the media. Yeah.

Fortune Faded is pretty good, but the copy I listened to had a bad mix to it. Of course that doesn't degrade the song itself, I was just observing.

Bad Day is pretty pimp. I only heard a clip but I"m a fan.

The Eagles and The Steve Miller Band both have recent greatest hits albums. Both will eventually make it to my collection. Oh yes they will.

the_butcher · 11-14-2003, 01:54 AM

Zao is one of those bands making a greatest hits, which is really strange for being a non-mainstream hardcore band.

And being pissed off does rock. But it's more fun at other people than at the media. The media is a pussy about shit like that.

tonguegina · 11-14-2003, 04:55 PM

Wow. So I just listened to these songs and was amazed. I figuered they'd be as good as any other RHCP song, but they were phenominal. I was floored.

Ugly Bastard · 11-14-2003, 05:28 PM

The other new single on their Greatest Hits is "Save The Population". I actually like it better than Fortune Faded. Both of these songs are a very independant sound when compared to the rest of RHCP's work.

The greatest hits album is awesome, they remixed a few of the songs a bit, I believe Under The Bridge's ending is a bit different, etc. It's quite the album.

Good, but uninspiring.

Although I am not nearly as large a fan, or as knowledgeable as many of the above posters, I feel as though the Peppers have slowly gone downhill. Either that or I just haven't adjusted to their new sound. I'm still listening to Blood Sugar Sex Magic and One Hot Minute, on a daily basis. Whereas, I rarely ever listen to anything from By The Way.

That's practically blasphemy among the elites.

Niger Angelus · 11-16-2003, 10:44 PM

O Haha. If you only knew.
I don't worry to impress them.

So, sorry to bring a dead topic back up, but I saw the music video on VH1 today. I thought it was pretty good, myself. Has anyone else seen it?

I love the thing. A lot.

Niger Angelus · 12-05-2003, 02:55 AM

I saw it. It is ok. One of the things that drives me nuts about the Peppers is how Mr. Kiedis does all of those stupid motions with his hands and shit.

tonguegina · 12-05-2003, 02:58 AM

It's better than just standing there and looking awkward, but I understand what you're saying.

No one else does that like he does, he's one unique sumbitch.

Pliedes · 12-05-2003, 06:10 PM

He really lets the music move him, even it may seem "stupid" to others. I have respect for that.
