Compared to Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Coachella, Outside Lands is like the little sister of musical festivals. The other U.S. fests established themselves in the 90's or early 2000's; the San Francisco fest didn't start until 2008. Despite its short run however, the Outside Lands' organizers have managed to pull together another very impressive lineup this year, which includes Paul McCartney,...
It's almost that time of the year again, when hipsters and some ravers pack their bags and head to the desert for a three-day weekend filled with tons of music and celebrity sightings. Coachella is coming up, and the lineup has finally been revealed. Despite the rumors and misleading hints, The Rolling Stones will not be performing at the festival. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blur, the...
A few days ago, a Lollapalooza (a.k.a. Coachella of the East Coast) lineup leaked. We questioned the authenticity of it, but as it turns out, it was the real thing. Headliners consist of Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, and Black Sabbath. It all takes place at the Chicago Grant Park on August 3 – 5. Check out the complete...
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were supposed to kick-start their U.S. tour in Sunrise, Florida next week but due to an unfortunate event, the band has been forced postpone their first show until late-March. It seems like fans are going to have to hold off a little while longer.
The ceremony won't be held until April 14th at Cleveland's Public Hall, but we already know who will be included into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this time around, and they include long-time favorites Red Hot Chili Peppers, the allegedly unignorable Guns N' Roses, and, least "rock" of them all, The Beastie Boys. Donovan,...
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have released the tracklisting to their upcoming tenth album, I’m With You—the 14-track album is set for release on August 30th. And, while the tracklisting seems typically inscrutable, I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that the record is going to pertain to sex, drugs and/or recovery from drugs, and the dark side of Los Angeles...
While the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ muses typically consist of sex, sex, sex, heroin, sex, California, sex, California, and sex, the band decided to break their self-imposed mode by including LSD as an influence on their new album, Dr Johnny Skinz's Disproportionately Rambunctious Polar Express Machine-head.
That title isn’t a joke, by the way.
The 90s gave us some of the purest rock music ever, and it's a testament to the quality of those bands that they were able to record dozens of solid albums and still have plenty of great rare material lying around. What follows is a list of some of the best B-sides, rarities, obscure tracks, and special releases from eight definitive 90s rock bands. Enjoy the flashback.
While they’ve been brainstorming since late last year, Spin reports that the Red Hot Chili Peppers have only just begun to prep for the recording of their upcoming tenth album. While the album’s central theme has yet to be announced, one assumes it will deal with the pathos, tragedy, and sublime human experiences inherent in the universal… ok, let’s face it, it’ll...
While the technology to create a playable crotch-sock controller is still at least a decade off (although developers are making huge leaps and we should have playable heroin and supermodel arm candy by 2014), it looks like California kids the Red Hot Chili Peppers will be getting their very own Guitar Hero game, according to Spinner. Guitar...
Long time, Chili Peppers member, John Frusciante has officially resigned from Red Hot Chili Peppers. To put all the rumors to rest, Frusciante himself wrote on his blog that he would be leaving the band. Frusciante seemed to be having issue with the group for some time, so this should come as no big surprise. Apparently "There was no drama or anger involved, and the other guys were very...
Who knew that Cabo Wabo Tequila would be the fuel for the evolution of classic rock? Apparently, Sammy Hagar.
Van Halen members Hagar and Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, and Grammy-nominated shredder Joe Satriani have come together to form the supergroup...
