RHCP have written the same song over and over again since day 1.
I honestly find it very hard to place them above The Mars Volta.
I wonder if the RHCP ever stop rehearsals and say:
"Hey John, don't you think this sounds a bit too much like Californication?"
"What? I don't know what the songs are called, I've got the sheet music for our last albums though"
*Displays piece of paper with the word "chords" written in various fonts*
"Ah ok John... But you DO have more than one setting on your amp though? And perhaps something more than that Strat?"
"Ergh... Can YOU sing a line in more than your regular two ways?"
*Que western showdown theme*
I'm not trying (Although I might actually accomplish just that) to piss RHCP-fans off though but even though the RHCP write catchy tunes (the same tune over and over...) I would find it hard to listen to an entire album. Let alone a whole concert!

And you've been listening to RHCP since when?
I don't listen to them because of what I wrote above but I own enough of their albums to have an opinion about 'em.
Do you have all of their albums?
Mosh pits are always a good idea, not really sure what happend to your friend.DonFck wrote:
They're from the US, I believe, and yes, it's prog rock with a spanish feel. Remember At The Drive-In? Now that's da shiznit!Ty wrote:
The Mars Volta are a good Aussie act, but yeah, their music is kind of for an aquired taste. Definatly not mainstream.
When it comes gigs, I choose the "calm"-section. Example: We were at a Machine Head club-gig in Helsinki. I was drinking my barley-shake and so was my friend (known on these forums as Ubersturmbannfuhrer). We were both enjoying the show on the upper floor, with a perfect view down to the stage. Our mutual friend decided to storm the moshpit. At a Machine Head gig. Now that had "bad idea" written all over it. The night ended with us taking him to get his jaw+lower teeth rewired at 2am.
Nerd-section, yes please.
Although I suppose that is fairly dependant on what 'storming' the pit involves...
I gotta agree with the Mars Volta suckin. Saw them last year when they opened for System of a Down...and i swear, the lead singer was humpin the mic stand for about an hour and a half. Not to mention...it sounded like they played the same song non stop just as long. At the end of their set...the lead singer said "If i was as motionless as you all are, I would be bored too." to the crowd... yeah, they got boo'ed off. Sad, but funny. Then System came out...nice.

I only buy a bands entire discography if I really like them.
So how can you possible make a statement regarding all of their music when by your own admission you don't own all of their albums and haven't listened to all of the ones you do own?

Yeah I said I don't listen (present) to the albums I own, but that doesn't mean that I haven't listened (past tense) to them.
I'm going to see The Automatic on the 3rd at the london forum. *sings* what's that coming over the hill, is it a monster, is it a monster?

I saw them on the 2nd of July in Coventry. I was near the front, it was seriously scary at one point a girl got trampled and taken to hospital, I never though a Chilis gig would be so dangerous!
I saw Mars Volta open For A Perfect Circle. They seem to be LEd Zeppelin wanna be's sans the RockStar-iness and slappin the ladies with small sharks.
I remember someone posted a frag video they made with that song playing. It actually seems like a cool song. Does anyone know a link to that video?brome wrote:
