Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I’m hoping they fast track this album as it was due out by now (with Josh, I assume). Apparently the LA fires pushed it back.

I’m also interested to see what the setlists will look like. Will John play stuff from the last 10 years, and will they vary the set?

When Frusciante was in last time, the setlists were as static as the JT30 shows.

When Josh came in, the dig into a lot of older songs we never (or rarely) heard live.

To be fair there are not many songs from the last 2 albums that were hits, go robot, dark necessities and nothing really from I'm with you. Well in the UK anyway.

2 Things:

There's already a RHCP thread.

I enjoyed Josh's time in the band and thought he was just fine..., but I'm glad John has returned. With respect to the late Hillel Slovak, John is part of the classic line-up of the RHCP.

Couldn't find the orginal thread,and it's such great news I thought it deserved it's own thread.[emoji6]

 

[MrPryck2U]

Look what I found!

 

[brooklynmike]

Just in time to get another tour cycle rolling with Frusciante! Hopefully a new album out soon as well.

That would be great, of course, but I wouldn't count on it. They've been averaging an album every 5 years. Probably 2021.

I'm guessing we will hear news of an album by the autumn,out early 2021.

Here's the Marc Maron podcast with Josh Klinghoffer if you're interested in how the whole story with Frusciante coming back unfolded:

Episode 1091 - Josh Klinghoffer — WTF with Marc Maron Podcast

It starts around 18 minutes in.

Ooh thanks for sharing

 

[MrPryck2U]

RHCP were fortunate to have Josh when John left to pursue a solo career. He was a team player and held his own with the other members. I'm glad John is back because that is truly the classic line up, but Josh deserves credit for his time with the band. Navarro ultimately didn't gel with the band. Josh did. It would be great if they released an album this year. They're still an exciting band.

 

[cobl04]

He says in the interview there's no animosity, but it sounds like he's pretty cut up about it. Which is fair enough. I think also because he doesn't seem to speak to John anymore.

I am hoping that, with two musicians as talented as John & Flea, that their next album will be good. By the Way is an all-time fav of mine, but Stadium Arcadium sucked.

I couldn't disagree more. Wow. Stadium Arcadium is an absolute tour de force on John's part(both in terms of guitar and backing vocals), and Flea is on fire too. One of the records of theirs that I come back to most often. Sad you don't like it.

But then, I love everything they've done with John. And a fair deal of stuff they've done without him.

Yes, I grew to love Stadium also. Granted, initially I didn't listen to it much, but when I revisited it I played a lot of songs repeatedly. Sure there were some skippers, and it probably should have been one album, but the good outweighed the ok.

 

[The John Tree]

I thought Stadium Arcadium was brilliant with its hits, and even with its misses - of which there were plenty.

Classic "double album that could have been a single" album situation, but still - even the songs I'm not particular high on have moments of pure brilliance on them.

Ummmmm

RHCP, Beck & Thundercat in LA? I'll go. Might go to Petco too so I can see Haim. Surprised they're not opening for them in LA.

 

[Hewson]

St. Vincent with them at Fenway,
Curious what prices will be. And curious to see if they can fill stadia.

 

[bono_212]

I suspect they weren't sure they could fill a stadium either, and that's why we ended up with this level of openers.

But I mean, they get to say it's the first tour with the "main" band in over a decade, so there's that.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Ehhhh I dunno abouoh hello the strokes as the opener in DC

Hahahah, exactly. I was like, "meh, I'm not driving to SoFi....Beck?!"

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I haven't been to a real concert since, gosh, Inhaler in November of 2019. And ironically enough, currently the next show I have tickets for is... Inhaler in March at the 9:30 Club.

So yea I really need to get to a concert.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

There’s always Future Islands next week!!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The Strokes!

 

[cobl04]

I hope we get to see bands here soon. I would pay plenty to go see RHCP.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

eh - i'll wait.

 

[super fly guy]

Glasgow for me,hopefully ticket prices are decent.

Based on US prices, they're not.

 

[DeVaul]

These are the goofiest prices I’ve seen for an arena band attempting a stadium in a very long time. At Metlife Stadium, the dynamic pricing “feature” lifted prices over $50/ticket in less than 48 hrs. $300+ to see the Chili Peppers from the lower bowl? In a market where Tool isn’t even selling out arena dates, I’m very interested to see what inventory looks like after the general onsales.
