Gutfield jumped in again to resume his slamming of the Peppers. ?The ape is better than Anthony Kiedis. By the way, the ape is 45, which is half the age of Anthony Kiedis. Red Hot Chili Peppers, poor man?s Faith No More, don?t ever forget it.?

Man.  And I thought I hated the RHCP....

Gutfeld -for Fox- has some edge.. he's had Lydon on his show...the dude from the Melvins etc...


I happen to love the new Chili Peppers record though....

I think I will stick with playing guitar and keyboard.

All Mapped Out

It may not have set the charts alight when it was first released in 2003, but it?s entirely possible that Maps by New York art-punk outfit Yeah Yeah Yeahs has been the single most influential song of the 21st century so far. How? Let?s look?

I really dislike the RHCP.  Haven't heard the album, but the new single is really good.  I hate myself for liking it.

Are The Specials still bringing it?

I saw them decades ago, and have been offered a ticket to Friday's show, but I'm leery.  Anyone want to weigh in?

well the problem is that since the last tour a few years ago they have lost three or four members.. they are down to only three original members... Terry Hall sounded fabulous last time.... so its fun to hear him.... but I just can't consider them the Specials.. they're down to the bassist Horace Panter, Terry and Lynval Golding..... even Neville Staples their toaster is gone....John Bradbury the drummer died... Roddy Radiation was basically let go (probably he was bought out like Neville).....

so its kind of the Terry Hall show..

when i saw them a few years ago I loved it.. but when I heard they were coming around again I was like no go for me cause of all the losses...Sidehatch saw them last time too

For me the question would be is the ticket FREE? A free ticket would usually beat a Netflix Friday night for me. Unless it was for a band that I disliked.

nevermind


to me the heart of the Specials was Dammers so without him and so few members its more like a Terry Hall solo show...

[vansmack]

Thank you both.

The pricepoint hasn't been determined, but I've been swamped at the office and have a busy weekend ahead, so it's more of an "is it worth my time?" sort of question.

Well Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene/Paul Weller, etc) is playing guitar with the Specials now.. and he's a heck of a guitar player...

I thought they put on a fantastic set, but it is the Terry Hall show now
Dammers hasn't toured with them since 84
