Red Hot Chili Peppers
a very believable rumor. i definitely noticed that anthony wasn't on his game - i don't think he spoke directly to the crowd all night (it was flea who gave the gratuitous "how ya doin' washington" shout-outs, if i remember correctly). anthony was there to get the job done, that's it. to his credit, he was very professional. if things are that bad, one has to wonder if they can keep it together long enough to fulfill their current schedule (which, as far as i know, has them playing in euroland through the end of july).
Yeah. I was seated with 5 chicks (4 were hot, the other one just . . . was - LOL) so I kinda had to play it cool with Peter Parker's girl, plus I was seated right near the aisle. BLOWER. But it doesn't matter. It all worked out in the end. I tried to light a Newport just so I wouldn't miss the show. The "yellow coats" came down upon thee with furious anger by the time I was halfway through it. I stomped it out and gave 'em the "Who me?" routine and proceeded to keep rockin' in the free world. Oh, well . . .
If they do break up . . . It's been a hell of a ride. I'm honored to have heard & seen the Peppers so many times. They're almost like old friends or some shit. I ALWAYS have a great time at their shows . . .

I like the Chili Peppers and have seen them plenty since the Mother's Milk tour. Always full of energy (even as they've aged) but for whatever reason, they've given up on the first four records almost completely when it comes to the live show. Saw them last when they played with Queens of the Stone Age a few years ago at Nissan Pavillion. Haven't been into their recent stuff so I was clueless on much of the setlist. I think they are great musicians but it seems the last few records have sort of sounded bland - especially the stuff I've heard on the new one. Maybe I'm missing something. I skipped them at the Virgin Festival altogether and the Flaming Lips set made me not care.
With the exception of one or two, this sounds like any mix tape I had in college. I still listen to all of it. Isn't college where you pick up your lifelong taste in music? I believe its your high school preferences that you are supposed to be ashamed of.

I'm not ashamed of my college music tastes, I've just moved on to other music. One or two of them I did out for nostalgia purposes (Smiths, New Order), but the rest just aren't my thing any more.
I've seen the Peppers twice, and they kicked ass both times. The second time, in fact, was pretty mindblowing (at the Key Arena in Seattle). That may have had something to do with The Flaming Lips opening, though. :)
I'm sure the Verizon show would have been fun, but looking at that setlist, I'm still rather glad I didn't go.
