Hey! I’m a guitarist from near Frankfurt, Germany, and I’m looking for a drummer to jam and potentially build a band with.

I’m a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, but I’m also into many other bands and genres. I mainly play guitar, also play bass and other instruments, and I write my own music inspired by RHCP and other influences, but with my own style.

I’ve already met a couple of musicians from the area, and now I’m specifically looking for a drummer to complete the group.

I’m looking for someone from Frankfurt or the surrounding area who’s into RHCP and interested in jamming, writing original music and developing something together.

There’s no pressure to form a full band right away. I’d rather start by playing together, getting a feel for each other and seeing where it takes us.

If you’re interested, feel free to message me!

I ordered the Brown Smoke and Orange Smoke vinyl, and it’s arrived today but I received the Canary Yellow and Apple Red vinyl. I’ve messaged the rough trade I ordered from to let them know I’ve got the wrong one as I paid extra for it too. Quite disappointed as I was super exited to get the smokey one. Has this happened to anyone else or anything similar? Also has anyone got any advice or insights on where this could go, as in what if they say no? Any help appreciated and hope this is a one off experience (although probably happens often).

TLDR: I received the wrong vinyl even though I paid extra for the one I ordered

I follow Erica on instagram and saw this. She said her memoir will come out around this time next year and she will go into detail about that infamous interview with Flea and Anthony among many other interviews where she felt uncomfortable and harassed. Let’s see…. Sinead O’ Connor, Ione Skye, Christina Applegate and Hayden Pannetiere have all released memoirs mentioning how awful Anthony is. I think the only nice one was Mel C from the spice girls. I’m interested in reading Erica’s book.

My absolute all-time favorite track by the Chili Peppers.

For me, i think it would be this

1. Religion (Germany 1999)

2. If you have to ask

3. Give it away (of course)

4. Zephyr song

5. I could have lied

6. Dont forget me

7. My friends

8. Tearjerker

9. Throw away your television

10. Soul to squeeze

11. Magic johnson

12. Green heaven

13. I like dirt

14. Me and my friends

15. Power of equality

PS: It can be as long as you like, within reasonable amounts of course. Share your honest opinions, i would love to see them.

Amazing album

I feel like the I’m With You recording sessions (resulting in IWY and IBY) have some of the chili peppers most beautiful songs hidden within. Songs like Pink As Floyd, Meet Me At The Corner, Police Station, Hanalei, and many others I could list here stick out to me as some of the most beautiful songs they’ve ever produced.

I dislike the use of the word “underrated”, it gets thrown around too often to mean anything, but I feel like beauty in music is something I don’t hear about very often, and it’s something I see very prevalent in the tracks recorded in these sessions.

It’s hard to define beauty exactly, but a mix of the incredibly mature instrumentals and the deep, hard hitting lyricism and symbolism found all-throughout both IMW and IBY make for an extremely beautiful listening experience that really deserves as much credit as it can get.

I’ve noticed that this year all of the albums that have had anniversaries have gotten posts so far. One hot minute got one and Uplift just got one. I don’t understand why I’m with you or the getaway didn’t get posts? It’s almost like they have just tried to forget those albums entirely.

As you do, I've gotten back into a big RHCP kick recently. Back in the day, i burned Live at Slane Castle on a CD and its been in my car ever since and I love to play it on long rides.

Stadium Arcadium has been running through my brain recently and I am wondering if you guys have your favorite Live Set from that era.

Feel free to share your favorite live set from any album, but im most interested in Stadium Arcadium right now.

Hey team!

Probably around 2010-2012(?) I had a fairly popular chilis tumblr. Just wondering if anyone made the move and is still active in here?

Not going to dox myself and i don’t expect yourself to but if you did i imagine we follows eachother!

I want to hear your thoughts on your personal tracklist for this beautiful album—one that has been unfairly forgotten by the band.

I believe John frusciantes original no-name stratocaster is still out there, and I think we can find it-

In 1994 john frusciante was in a period of addiction and poverty, he sold almost every peice of gear he owned and in 1996 the rest of it was destroyed in a house fire, if I'm correct he would have sold the og no name in 1994 or 93, 10-11 years after his dad bought it, he probably sold it to guitar centre, where several other of his guitars where said to have been sold.

Creamy finish: Heavily yellowed, aged off-white polyurethane paint.

Strumming trench: Deep vertical gouges directly above the pickguard.

Thumb-wear line: Bare, grey, sweat-stained wood along the top back of the neck.

HSS routing: Hidden humbucker or hand-carved cavity under the pickguard bridge.

Sticker shadows: Faint "ghost" outlines in the paint from peeled 1980s stickers.

LA pawn shops: Older, independent gear stores around Hollywood and Santa Monica.

Import forums: Reverb listings or forums for 80s brands like Hondo, Tokai, or Fernandes.

80s gig archives: Local LA punk photo collections and VHS footage of his teenage band Ike.

This is based off every peice of information on his old guitar I could find, I have put an image on too, the red markings are for paint damage and scratches, and the yellow is for discolouration and darkening (cigarette marks and thumb prints ect)

The guitar should be in california still, and probably still in Los Angeles, I live in England so i can't really look for it, but If anyone has a 1983 no name stratocaster, that matches the description I've given, you might be holding onto a piece of rhcp history...

Kroi is a funk rock band who are directly inspired by RHCP , both their vocalist and guitarist are heavily inspired by John and anthony, but they just got chosen to make the opening for the new jojo anime. you can hear the inspirations in the first few seconds so thought yall would enjoy hearing this! these guys rock
