 Topic: RHCP prog?
Posted: February 08 2006 at 23:04 |
YES, this seems ignorant as well as stupid, but listening to By The Way RHCP appear to be unknowingly drifting into the vast waters of progressive rock.
I am curious as to what RHCP's new album Stadium Arcadium more progressive nuances or more commercial concessions to compete with auspicious rocck and roll/progressive rock outfits like TMV, PT, and The Tangent (thats a bit of a stretch).
any thoughts?

Kinda like the Flaming Lips arguement. The Chilis, IMO, will never get there, though they are making better rock music with keyboards and moog I believe.

Well Primus is in and they robbed the RHCP pepper blind in their early career
The technical virtuosity of the Peppers is impressive (I love SBSM and One Hot Minute)

What. Where's the complexity of prog? Not at RHCP.

RHCP is funk punk rock, through and through. No prog. That doesn't mean I don't love them though.

RHCP's last 2 albums are pure pop music.

They are a quite good band but they should not be in the Archives.

^ on my website I would never put the Peppers in a prog genre - but some of their songs are progressive to some extent. They are not a prog band at all, though, and could not be included here.

There album By The Way showed some progressive tendancies but there previous seven albums were streight up Funck Rock. There clearly getting isnperation from prog but there not there and probably wont go that far.

The chilis are not prog.
I like them, but I'm willing to admit their faults.
1.) As a live act, they are touch and go. Sometimes sloppy, sometimes tight, sometimes Anthony sings very out of key.
2.) sh*tloads of their songs sound the same. How can a band be progressing when they rip off licks from songs they wrote 15 years ago?
2.) Primus ripped off The Chilis? You've got to be joking me. Both bassists often slap (even though they have vastly different techniques). That is where the similarities in these two bands end. As musicians, Primus are perfectionists. They're always pushing themselves, and always covering new ground. Their live shows are 3 hour orgasms. The band has talent, creativity, technical skill, and actually compose songs that can be classified under the progressive label. After seeing how they play live, I would compare Primus to Rush.

Why do people think that everything is prog? RHCP surely is a great band, but far from prog.

lisyen to their first three or four albums (Primus started in 91) and clearly copied the RCHP sound which was defintively set by the Breast Milky album or the Socks EP which date from 88 (not that sure for the EP)
