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.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.
Couldn't find the orginal thread,and it's such great news I thought it deserved it's own thread.[emoji6]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.
Just in time to get another tour cycle rolling with Frusciante! Hopefully a new album out soon as well.
I'm guessing we will hear news of an album by the autumn,out early 2021.That would be great, of course, but I wouldn't count on it. They've been averaging an album every 5 years. Probably 2021.
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.
Ehhhh I dunno abouoh hello the strokes as the opener in DC
There’s always Future Islands next week!!
Glasgow for me,hopefully ticket prices are decent.
