As it shouldn't. I'd have to ding you 20 times to even remove one gold square.

Ahh the times I could ding someone and they'd get 5 red smilies on the spot :wink:

Don't whine just because you can't swing a big stick any more. Take action to fix the problem.

No "Higher Ground" but the drummer coming out in a scUM t-shirt before doing a little drum solo was a nice touch. :sick1:

And once again... completely unoriginal... I think Cobain did that about 3 weeks before his... uh.... I wouldn't call it a suicide per se.

They did a great version of Last Dance with Dani California. Now if only Chad Smith would pull a Cobain. :biggrin:

You never know where your inspiration is going to come from. Heck, even the Greatest Band on Earth was inadvertantly guilty of plagiarism at one time. Who can forget the "Rocket Sauce" fiasco

Rocket,
Rocket,
All of my Rocket Sauce,
All of my fuckin' Rocket Sauce,
All of my Rocket Sauce,
Hey!


I will never be able to hear the ice cream man again without a smile.

Mature Chili Peppers still red hot
Band ditches headline-grabbing antics, but not energy

Anthony Kiedis sings to the Value City Arena crowd last night during the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers delivered a hard-hitting, fine tuned concert last night to a packed Value City Arena that said as much about its music as the long and bumpy road the band has traveled in its 20-plus years.
The Chili Peppers first played Columbus in the mid-1980s in Stache's (legal capacity 157) in a show produced by the opening act, the Royal Crescent Mob. For much of it, the Peppers wore nothing but tube socks stretched over their private parts.

While the headline-grabbing antics of those early shows are gone, surprisingly, much of the energy is not. In concert in a gigantic indoor arena, the band still?with a lot less mayhem, a little less spontaneity and considerably more chops?threw a great party.

From the opening, languid jam, guitarist John Frusciante presented a large part of the group's unmistakable sound. His debt to Jimi Hendrix and Funkadelic's Eddie Hazel were plain. Their inspiration yielded many of the highlights during the Chili Peppers' two-hour set.

Some of Frusciante's work was so reminiscent of Hazel's great solo on Funkadelic's Maggot Brain that it seemed the band would cover it at any minute. Frusciante's opening duet with bassist Flea on Californication stretched further, though, displaying a brilliant and organic familiarity with a wide range of funk and blues-rock. The lengthy jam that ended the encore was breathtaking evidence of Frusciante's skill and invention.

It also drove home the incalculable value of the Peppers rhythm section, the group's blood-pumping heart since the line-up was stabilized in the late-1980s with the addition of drummer Chad Smith. In addition to inspiring Frusciante during the intoxicating and intuitive final jam, Smith and Flea grounded the entire night.

Precise, ebullient and completely in tune, the two drove hits such as Show (Hey Oh), Give It Away and Dani California as well as solid catalogue material, inspiring singer Anthony Kiedis to cavort madly.

Interestingly, Kiedis' contribution likely had less to do with the band's success than the rhythm section's. The band's songs rode on simple, limited melodies; their passionate lyrics were often buried in the mix.

Still, the testosterone-driven camaraderie between Kiedis and Flea, especially, continues to fuel the group's performances. If the results are not as outrageous as they once were, the foundation is stronger than ever.

The Mars Volta opened the show with an hour-long set that covered only a few, lengthy tunes. The young, multi-ethnic group performed contemporary art rock that harkened back to the 1970s, with a sound something like Led Zeppelin performing King Crimson.
