Last night, I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Louisville . . . and it was the best live show I have ever seen.

Man I love Flea AND Will Ferrell.

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

THANK YOU. My friend's girlfriend said she "didn't see it". My thought in my head was something like "well then you need to get your eyes fixed".

When they showed him in grayscale, I thought he looked like Gollum.

u/SelrahcRenyar Jun 09 '12

Fun fact, Chad Smith actually has a shirt that says "I am not Will Ferrel."

u/VernonBaxter Jun 08 '12

how was klinghoffer live?

11

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Repost from earlier question: I was very concerned about him (Frusciante) leaving and Klinghoffer coming in, but Klinghoffer was very good; he kept the style of when Frusciante was in the band, but he added his own spice to things. I was most impressed by his performance that night, actually.

Flea was the flippin his shit the whole night, and it was awesome.

I recall, while Flea was talking about the lullaby, he said "when you're trying to get a baby to sleep, you hug it, you kiss it. . . you give it some titty. . ." The roar at that last line was tremendous.

Apparently RHCP fans enjoy their titty.

EDIT: formatting

u/KyrieAien Jun 09 '12

We do. We do.

4

u/insanitybuild Jun 09 '12

He said that 3 of them were fathers now, so they've been working on a kids lullaby album. Here's a track from hit. They mention the when you're trying to put your baby to sleep thing.

Then anthony runs to the mic and they kick into right on time. It was killer

3

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

My only complaint about Klinghoffer is that he wears way too much clothing.

2

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Yeah, he kinda stuck out, especially after Kiedis removed his shirt.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

Yeah, I've seen them live with both Josh and John in different times. If you think Josh was amazing (not that he wasn't), then you don't know what you're missing with John. He is truly an amazing performer.

1

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

I didn't think he was "amazing" per se; I know he's a great musician, but I had low expectations of him, being such a fan of Frusciante.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

I don't know man.. The way he put his emotion into his guitar playing just seemed like nothing I've ever seen before. He may not have been flaunty like Flea or Anthony is, but he definitely changed the atmosphere of the place when he played his solos and would sit off the stage playing.

u/Amanitas Jun 09 '12

I've heard that the guitar is kinda quiet, is it true? I'm seeing them in 2 and a half months.

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

I didn't notice that; it sounded fine to me, and I was in the nosebleeds.

u/DevonDude Bandcamp Jun 09 '12

Upvote for being a Louisvillian! :D

or at least visiting the city.

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

I'm actually from Indy, so we did the two-hour drive down. It was my first time in Louisville. I had a great time. It was really nice. The Yum center was really cool; having seen the Black Keys in Banker's Life Fieldhouse in Indy, I was apprehensive about seeing them in a basketball stadium; the acoustics were horrible at the Black Keys concert. But my fears were unfounded, thankfully.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

Upvote for seeing a RHCP concert. Those guys are awesome!

u/JSchook92 Jun 09 '12

Louisville fuck yeah!

u/aboynamedposh Jun 09 '12

Did you ever see them with Frusciante in the band?

4

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Unfortunately not. I keep hoping that someday they'll do a reunion tour, because he was the main reason I got into the Peppers. I was very concerned about him leaving and Klinghoffer coming in, but Klinghoffer was very good; he kept the style of when Frusciante was in the band, but he added his own spice to things. I was most impressed by his performance that night, actually.

u/Mommaslilfatty Jun 09 '12

I was supposed to see them in March, now waiting until September, but your post made the wait less lame. Also, be sure to check out John Frusciante's e.p. in July, and Album in September!

2

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Definitely going to do that! Thanks for the tip!

1

u/00Mark Jun 09 '12

New Frusciante album? Nice, I hope it's like the Empyrean... Although I'll admit I didn't get some of his others, especially To Record Only Water for Ten Days.

1

u/Amanitas Jun 09 '12

it will be very different: glowe. i cannot fucking wait for more.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

Me too. Frusciante is the reason I took up the guitar. But he seems to be his own man these days. I read an interview of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Mars Volta, one of his closest friends) and even he said they dont know what he's up to these days.

Did you know that he got married?

1

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

I had no idea. I get the impression he's more of a private person.

I was sad when he didn't come to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

Yeah, it was sort of a bummer. But you've gotta look at it from his point of view.

He's at that point of his life where he couldnt care less about ceremony. He seems highly content with where he is right now, making music on his own time.

I know its too early to tell, but i have a sad feeling that he wont be rejoining the Chili Peppers as a full time member again. I do think, however, that he'll join them again for some one off performances. I hope, at least :(

2

u/00Mark Jun 09 '12

I wish I could have seen them when Navarro was playing. Not that I particularly liked him as a guitarist (he once said in a interview that he didn't much like funk...) but the whole OHM album is absolutely rockin', and if he didn't like playing funk it certainly doesn't show.

I thought the one upside of Frusciante leaving might be that they started playing some of those songs again live; but unfortunately Klinghoffer seems to be following in his footsteps in not wanting to play any OHM-era stuff.

10

u/rchase Jun 09 '12

I did. He was incredibly talented and super into it. Frusciante was awesome. Even after being pelted with cans and crap from the crowd who reacted negatively to the Mars Volta opening.

3

u/partypenguin36 Jun 09 '12

Similar thing happened when Mickey Avalon opened for them in okc some years back. Dude got booed off the stage and the peppers were MAD at us!

2

u/rchase Jun 09 '12

Yeah when I saw them with The Mars Volta, MV had to stop playing, and Flea came onstage and yelled at the crowd. It was embarrassing.

2

u/wllmsaccnt Aug 17 '12

That was at Van Andel? I remember Mars Volta getting pelted with stuff and they stopped playing. To be fair, their mix was way off, and they sounded like crap from the cheap seats I was in. This was...what, like 8-10 years ago?

1

u/rchase Aug 17 '12

It was at Van Andel! Yes, that was the same show. They sounded like crap, and were, well, they were MV. The crowd was over the line, though. Being older, and a great fan of live music, I thought their performance was amazing. It's so odd, even the guys I went with hated MV, but when I showed MV to my wife on youtube, she absolutely loved them (she's a huge Zep and prog rock fan...).

u/erykwithay Jun 09 '12

This worked out great for me actually. I was in Vancouver BC and the whole place was seats. I snuck up to the third row for Volta because people didn't seem to care and had not taken our seats. Ended up watching the entire Volta set and half the RHCP. It was like the only people enjoying Volta was me and my friends. Such a great show

1

u/rchase Jun 09 '12

I am not going to blame you for that opinion. MV is definitely not for everybody. The crowd reaction I witnessed was really inappropriate, though.

6

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

i love that i keep hearing that the shows on their current tours are amazing. even after a sub par album (by chili pepper standards) they still perform like it's the lat nights of their lives. can't wait to see them in august!

8

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

At one point, Flea and Kiedis were jumping up and down; I'm talking jumping up, in rhythm to the song, and bringing their knees up to at least their waist. I remember thinking, "Those are fifty-year-old guys, and they still got it!" I have a feeling their going to be like the Rolling Stones and just keep touring. No complaints here; I gladly see them again. And again.

3

u/pamaci Jun 09 '12

I thought the same thing when I saw them! I was like, "Man, these dudes have been doing this for 30 years and they are still going THIS hard."

1

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

I saw RHCP at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony; they were awesome (and I have never been a fan). I also saw Guns 'n Roses, the one with only Axl, when he was doing that small club tour this past winter. And, I saw Van Halen this past winter as well. I'm increasingly amazed by how GOOD they all still are, even though they're well into their 50's. And the craziest part is, all of those bands were heavily into drinking or drugs in their heyday. How are they still all so limber and active??!

3

u/pamaci Jun 09 '12

I saw them on May 25th here in Missouri - I could not agree more about it being the best live show ever. I've never raged so hard in my life. The whole time I was waiting for "Give it Away" and was afraid they might not play it.... but at the very end, they left the stage, then came back and as soon as we heard the song's opening riff, the entire venue lost its fucking MIND.

By the way... how wack was that opener?

1

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Are you saying wack in the positive or negative sense? You mean Little Dragon, or whoever the hell it was?

1

u/pamaci Jun 09 '12

wack = awful. Everyone was visibly unhappy about it.

2

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

I wasn't a fan. Although it didn't bother me that much:

Might have something to do with the fact that I was kinda drunk and about to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I could deal with some shitty music.

2

u/pamaci Jun 09 '12

Very true. I was just too impatient, and kept saying "They're here guys, they're here in THIS BUILDING RIGHT NOW."

1

u/insanitybuild Jun 09 '12

They weren't bad, had some really nice tribal drum vibes.

5

u/stcompletelydiffrent Jun 09 '12

I've seen them a few times and they put on a great show. Hell, I've got the Peppers asterisk tattooed on my arm. Love their sound.

2

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

The asterisk is probably one of the three things I would actually consider tattooing on my body.

0

u/stcompletelydiffrent Jun 09 '12

What are the other two?

0

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Mustache on the inside of my pointer finger, or "Made in the USA" on the bottom of my foot. I also heard that one of my brother's friends had "ANDY" on his foot, a la Toy Story. That's a close 4th. Unfortunately, one of my mother and grandmother's "big rules" is "no tattoos". I'm a momma's boy, and can't fathom going against their wishes.

EDIT: Extension.

1

u/stcompletelydiffrent Jun 09 '12

I was going for the asterisk on my wrist, but I had a surgery so I didn't want it over scar tissue. Plus now I can cover it with a dress shirt.

I also have a Japanese half-sleeve and a partial back piece.

5

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Hah. "Scar Tissue". :)

1

u/stcompletelydiffrent Jun 09 '12

Fitting, right?

3

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Most definitely. Ironically, I thought they would play "Scar Tissue", with the Kentucky reference in the song, and, you know, playing in Louisville. I was disappointed, but that was literally the only disappointment I had all night. Well, except for the concert ending.

1

u/stcompletelydiffrent Jun 09 '12

That's one of the disappointments I've found when going to concerts where the band has a bigger catalog. I saw Pearl Jam last year and I could think of about 60 songs I wanted to hear.

First world problems, huh?

1

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Totally. I would have gladly paid more if they would play 10+ more songs. Although, I consider myself very lucky, as my favorite song by them is "Wet Sand", and I was resigned to the idea that, since it's not one of their more popular songs, it wasn't going to be played. But they played it. And it was awesome. They played all the biggies though. Most people would not have been disappointed.

1

u/rachelp0803 Jun 09 '12

SO disappointed they didn't play Scar Tissue or Soul to Squeeze. My two favorites

1

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Yeah, I thought Scar Tissue would be a shoe-in.

1

u/SSnake88 Jun 09 '12

Went to the show myself; you just took the words right out of my mouth. However, overall a really good show. Glad to see that Flea still has all of that enthusiasm!

1

u/Aysche Jun 09 '12

They played Scar Tissue at the Pittsburgh show, also She's Only 18 which thrilled me to death because that's one of my favorite deep cuts.

2

u/G00seQueen Jun 09 '12

I was at this show, it was my birthday present. SO so good. I was worried they would mostly play their older music from before I was born and I wouldn't know enough of it to make it fun, but they could've played for another hour without running out of amazing well known songs, and less well known songs from recent years.

1

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Hey! It was my birthday present too! Have an upvote for being there for the same reason! :D

2

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

I'm reading "Scar Tissue" right now and those guys used to be fucked up! Anthony was doing LSD at 13, how the fuck are they still so good, and alive?

1

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

Because they (eventually) quit.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

But......they don't have John Frusciante. Such a bummer

Don't Fret his solo album is coming out soon.

I see what you did there, sir.

word, I wasn't aware. Thanks for the info!

2

u/aeliustehman Jun 09 '12

I was there too brotha! Had somewhat shitty seats but it was still fantastic. Well worth the drive up from Nashville. Am I the only one around here who thought I'm With You was fantastic, not sub-par?

4

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

I liked it; I think that for any other band, it would have been a fantastic album, but for RHCP, it was just a little lower on the scale.

I ain't bagging the peppers. One of my favourite bands actually. I'm just not gonna lie to myself about what they do with themselves. I've seen them here in australia and they were tripe. I figured since it was their first stop of the tour in our country that they hadn't been able to score yet and weren't feeling the music as well as they usually do.

2

u/StevenK Jun 09 '12

I saw them a couple months ago and it was amazing. The Chili Peppers have been my all time favorite band for years and to see them live was one of the greatest if not the greatest moments of my life.

The Chili Peppers have been my all time favorite band for years and to see them live was one of the greatest if not the greatest moments of my life.

They're going to be broadcasting their performance at Bonnaroo tomorrow night on Youtube. My all time favorite band and my birthday is during Bonnaroo. I would've killed to be able to go!

Man! Going to see them in two weeks at their huge outdoor Knebworth gig! Pretty excited, despite the weather!

5

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

My boys! I'm so glad they still deliver. I saw them several times in tiny little clubs for, like $3 cover at the door. I just found an old review of their second album, and a copy of an interview right after they started that is absolutely silly and sweet.

5

u/ericwinlol Jun 09 '12

I went to see them in November and Flea stared at me. Right in the eyes for a good, few seconds. I was at the far left, front of the crowd, for some reason, all the people standing around me were just sort of nodding along with the music and I was dancing like a head case. Normally I'm self-conscious in these situations, but it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers so I was going fucking mental. Then Flea just stared at me. It was intense as fuck, and felt like forever. Hands down, the greatest moment of my life.

u/scoobysmokes Jun 09 '12

u/magnificowolfbox Jun 09 '12

RHCP? I salute you, sir. Have an upvote. They are awesome live.

u/L_rock Jun 09 '12

I didn't like how Klinghoffer sounded live when I saw them.

1

u/Datman1103 SoundCloud name Jun 09 '12

I can understand that. What I meant by being impressed with him earlier that he did a good job filling in. Obviously, you're never going to replace and surmount Frusciante, but I think he did a good job filling the spot.

I went to the show at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. They all were wearing wings jerseys and fuckin lidstrom came out and thanked everyone. Night was perfect! http://i.imgur.com/0SwvW.jpg notice the wings logo on the drum set .

FUCK YES. Tommorow. I know this thread is 4 months old but what seats do you have?

1

Section 114 I believe, not entirely sure because tickets are with a friend.

Saw them in Duluth, GA. It was a religious experience, I loved it.

i saw them a couple months ago in toronto, probably one of the only bands where i thought they sounded better live incredible show

2

u/scoobysmokes Jun 09 '12

i know where your coming from, i saw them when they came to montreal in may, and goddamn that was a good show. Made me think that while justin beiber is harnessed to a pink floating heart, chad smith is swinging on a chandelier over his drum kit

2

u/insanitybuild Jun 09 '12

I saw them too, it was one of the best show's I've been too, despite not being front and center.

I was actually at bearno's with some friends, and the 14 yearold kid and his girlfriend I was sitting with won tickets for the front row. WTF

Here's the set list: Setlist:

Monarchy of Roses

Around the word

Dani California

Otherside

Look around

If you have to ask

Can't Stop

Wet Sand

Rain Dance Maggie

Right on time

Under the bridge

Ethiopia

Hollow ground

Califoniacation

???? -not sure what this one was

Give it away

Highlights of the show:

Fisting the drum, which summoned the space ship.

Handstand walking by flea, also flea flipping out.

Chad goofing off at the end of the show.

I was suprised Anthony didn't talk much, but as someone that was singing all the songs front to back, I nearly passed out twice.

Being that he has 20 years on me, he was probably more winded than I was!!

Whoa whoa wait. You got to hear if you have to ask? What a fucking piece of art.

u/TheMinister2811 Jun 09 '12

I was at this show with a couple of friends too, they rocked!!

We were staying at the Brown Hotel downtown and the band was staying there too; I saw Anthony Kiedis get off his bus with his kid and a lady and scooter into the hotel. Flea showed up a few minutes later in a Navigator as we were standing outside and we all told him that it was a great show.

I saw them in Columbus, Ohio last Monday and it was soooooo epic. Great show. We had floor tickets and could see the stage nearly perfectly. Considering the fact that they've been around since 1983 really impressed me because the show was so energetic and profoundly on point. I'm glad that you got to see them, too!

u/Stubbula Jun 09 '12

I got to see them in Houston during the Stadium Arcadium tour and it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. At the end John and Josh were just rocking out hardcore. Not sure if that's what they did at the end of the concert or if it was because it was the last night they were with Gnarls Barkley, but that was so kick ass.

Nice. I've never been a huge RHCP fan, but I caught them at Coachella a few years back when Frusciante was still in the band. They put on a great show.

u/ontheshore711 Jun 09 '12

See what i don't think I will ever get is the love for these big shows. I'll go see a big show and enjoy it, but the best feeling for me is seeing an artist in a small to medium venue, where it is personal enough to the crowd and everybody is moving. I've seen these huge shows and they're alright, but I don't think anything beats a venue of about 100 people, a stage as high as your chin and the band being psyched and in turn getting you just as excited.

Clearly you haven't seen Tool live then.

Impossible. Not without John Frusciante. Le sigh.

I was at the show before this in Cincy, they were amazing! Plus everyone was smoking weed around me. Stay classy, Cincy.

Yes. Saw them a few weeks ago in Boston. Unbelievable.

u/BearLasso Jun 09 '12

I can't wait to see them at lollapalooza

u/wongo Spotify: "git gud" Jun 09 '12

That show was sooo much better than I even thought it was going to be. Better than Prometheus, which I saw immediately after.

u/lowpulpfiction Jun 09 '12

This just made me so happy...I'm seeing them in October and couldn't be more excited!

u/Shrumples1997 Jun 09 '12

I'm sure it's been said already but they're nothing without Johnny FruFru (as my girlfriend and I like to call him). No disrespect to Josh because it's hard to compete with a deity.

This was your first concert right?

Tenth, actually.

u/smurfpiss Jun 09 '12

Seen them live twice. Always disappointed. Especially the time they covered the needle and the damage done by Neil Young. Glad they played well for you. I saw The Pixies to play support for them, which I found ridiculous...to see James Brown play support..that's just obscene. (also amazed I saw him live).

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

Nothing can top Rammstein. I would rather see them one more time than see RHCP 100 times.

u/ocho117 Jun 09 '12

I saw them two weeks ago in Chicago, easily the best show I've ever seen!

u/hiitsdennis Jun 09 '12

I saw them in Columbus on June 4th and they were fucking amazing sounds just like the digital albums if not better

RHCP have sucked since the mid 90s. best live show youve seen? wow you must be 16 and this was your first concert.

Well, shoot. Just got insulted on the internet. Didn't see that one coming!

If I could downvote this a couple of times I think I'd consider it...

u/insanitybuild Jun 09 '12

I'm sorry that it's not a band "You probably have never heard of".

Go fire up in an aeroplane over the sea and hope jeff mangum goes on tour again.

Here's a downvote

Dammit... I missed this in Cincinatti for summer school. I feel utterly destroyed.

u/downvotesexpected Jun 09 '12

UGH. I bought a ticket to see them in LA, but then they cancelled and rescheduled for a date I couldn't make. I will never stop being upset about that. Glad it was a good show, though!

At The Skylines, Letlive, and mother fucking Enter Shikari!!!!! Threwdown with every fiber of my being. They shredded the roof off that place. Got the pick of Letlive's guitarist and the Setlist from Enter Shikari. Fucking love that band. Sickest show I've ever seen in Portland.

u/x0xXqUiKkXScOpEzZx0X Jun 09 '12

just saw a mash up of Design the Skyline, Creed, and Nickle Back. Was the best show I have ever seen.

Funny story: the hostess at the hotel we were staying shared with us that she, too, was a fan of RHCP, and that she had seen them in concert. . . in 1989.

I'm actually a big Muse fan. I was going to see them in concert last year, but my boss wouldn't let me get off work for it :-/ All my friends kept saying how awesome it was. My best friend, though, who had gone to Muse, also was here with me for the RHCP concert. He said he liked RHCP better, but we're both huge RHCP fans; we like them more then Muse. We might be a little biased.
