Did the doctor give you any tranquilizers? If so, take them. I'm only responding to dime's absurd comment about sales.

I know a lot of RHCP fans. Not a one of them like that album.

Jus sayin. Cos it sold a lot means really nothing at all.

OK. But I was only responding to you. Because I can do sarcasm as well.

I don't think Stadium Arcadium is boring at all. And neither is I'm With You. In my opinion, RHCP still got it. Both great albums. I'm sure they get some hate around here, but you know, that's just like, your opinion man. ;)


I'll go back and shed manly tears to Sirens now.

Yeah, but you're responding to something I'm not even mentioning, like a knee jerk reaction to someone saying something bad about PJ (even if I wasn't saying anything about the music)

Whatever. You're going to be antagonistic whatever I say so I'll just avoid you, problem solved.

I have a bunch of RHCP friends, they all love Stadium. It's a sensational album, with 28 fucking songs. It's great. I'll never understand any hate for it.

One of the reviews listed which songs he suspected were from each session, or sounded like they were. It was the final paragraph of said review, the one where he said he got half of what he wanted.

To be fair, I'm not surprised, given that the best attempt they could make at funk rock was Dirty Frank.

That's the Altnation review.

I remember in the interview Mike said that Getaway, Lightning Bolt, MYM and Let The Records Play were from the second session. We know that Pendulum was from Backspacer. We can assume maybe that Swallowed Whole was from the first sessions, just cause it sounds like a Backspacer type song.

I don't remember him listing songs in that much detail, or being very revealing at all. All I remember was how happy I was to hear him speak about anything at all, because he isn't Brendan O'Brien :lol:
