I figure if Bono took a whole year off for minor keyhole surgery, Kiedis must have just had a hangnail removed or a wart frozen or something.

 

[ryancoke71]

Don't fall for this, it's just a marketing ploy. My doctor friend Annie filled me in with all the details.

They would be a better band if they were an instrumental group.

Anthony Kiedis is a knuckle-dragging neanderthal who should be thrown into a room with Henry Rollins and a fucking hand grenade.

 

[lazarus]

cool bump bro

 

[LemonMelon]

Really, it was a good bump.

Guess you had to get your troll. Oh well.

 

[cobl04]

Guess this is as good a time as any for my annual "I saw Chad, John, Flea on trumpet and Josh on keys do a 30-minute improv jam session and it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen" post.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Anyone looking forward to seeing the RHCP at the Super Bowl?

 

[bono_212]

Tons, but I'm really happy that I finally got to see them back in 2012. That was a long time coming, for me.

 

[MrPryck2U]

That's great! I got to see them back in 2000 when they toured with STP. Hopefully it ain't snowing while they perform during Halftime.

 

[bono_212]

They'll just sing "Snow", in that case, which is a win/win for me

That would have been a great gig, for me. As it was, seeing them at Lolla was so cool. There were so many fans there, great response and they played a great set.

 

[cobl04]

Still very angry at myself that I didn't go and see them back in 2007 when John Frusciante was in the band.

I can't believe I didn't think of Snow. I wouldn't be surprised if they did a snippet of that.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Yes, that would have been cool. I've grown quite an appreciation for Stadium Arcadium over the years.

I thought you saw them play with John

 

[cobl04]

Yes, that would have been cool. I've grown quite an appreciation for Stadium Arcadium over the years.

I didn't like it much, but it still would have been great.

I thought you saw them play with John

I saw a 30 minute improv gig at Federation Square before the gig with John, Chad, Flea and Josh on keys. No Keidis.

 

[bono_212]

Ahhhh, right. I got it now.

 

[bono_212]

The one-disc version of Stadium Arcadium that I keep around is basically my favorite RHCP joint.

Anyone looking forward to seeing the RHCP at the Super Bowl?

I am! Also, really excited that I'll be finally seeing them in April. They have been on my "concert bucket list" for a long time.

That's awesome! Are they playing in PR?

 

[prbiker15]

Yeah, they are playing here on April 6th. They are playing some festivals in South America the week before, so the biggest (not to mention greediest) promoter in the island was lucky to snatch them.

He said that the RHCP were his favorite band, so as a result, he jacked up the ticket prices. I mean, a price range of $65 to $175 is probably a bit too much for a band that only charges $60, maybe $70 for their shows. Either way, I got my ticket.

Damn, if they were his favorite band, he should have charged LESS for them.

 

[djerdap]

I'm a bit skeptical that being somebody's favorite band had any influence on setting the price.

 

[prbiker15]

So I just got back from seeing them live. It was my very first RHCP concert, and it was one hell of a show!

Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert Setlist at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, San Juan on April 6, 2014 | setlist.fm

• 
  I was just amazed at how much energy they had throughout the 105-110 minute show. They were jumping and dancing all over the place, and I loved how they were jamming after each song.

• Flea and Chad...wow, they sure can play the hell out of their instruments. Josh was pretty good, I was impressed (he did miss some solos in some of the songs, though)

• Flea and Chad were the only band members who really interacted with the crowd, while Anthony said a few words every now and then. You could tell they were really loving the audience - it was wild!

• Around 12,000 tickets were sold - that's around 85-90% of the capacity for concerts in a 180 degree configuration at this venue. The show didn't sell out due to the ticket prices ($65, $75, $95, $150 & $175). The fans who had seats on the left and right sides of the upper level ($75) were upgraded to the lower level ($150/$175) because the promoter decided to block off those sections.

To conclude my informal review, this show ranks in my Top 5. I would to definitely pay to see them again.

 

[super fly guy]

Final show of the tour. Congrats!

I am surprisingly looking forward for this album. I mean, if it's not produced by Rick Rubin, it's a good sign

Nice to have them back. They used to be top-5 for me, but nowadays they're just a little more nostalgic.

 

[Hewson]

Decent first single. And they didn't abandon Danger Mouse halfway through the recording process.
