The Zephyr Song

Stephen Robinson

More ‘Under The Bridge’ than ‘Give It Away’ this is a chug-a-lug ballad that’s destined to become ‘our song’ at college discos this term. Aaah.

Red Hot Chili Peppers live at the Amphitheater, Irvine, CA

From the funky opening strains of the first song, ‘Can’t Stop’, to the slowed down quasi-punk jam at the end of their final song, mega hit ‘Give It Away’, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were clearly amped up and prepared to give their all.


2006-06-09

Stadium Arcadium

The record, a double album, doesn’t always live up to the sum of the parts. Like the Stones, U2 and REM, the Chilis can often seem like victims of their own longevity and familiarity. The best songs on this collection are inevitably the ones where they venture out of their own comfort zone.

Dani California

They’re back! And they’re still harping on about California! Early fans will be disappointed to learn that in telling the story of Ms California, “a runner, rebel and a stunner”, they’re continuing down the middle of the road that they seem to like so much, leaving their days of edgy funk rock well behind. So much so that poor guitarist John Frusciante is left doing a cover version of ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ in the background while the rest of the band plod along behind Anthony Kiedis’s isolated enthusiasm. A new low for them? Quite possibly.

Having got themselves back on the road so spectacularly over the past couple of years, noone is going to risk the wheels coming off the RHCP juggernaut just yet. Thus a pre-Christmas release blitz sees a Live At Slane DVD and this greatest hits, also bolstered by a limited edition discs of videos.
