I loved watching them back then, flying around the stage.  Kiedis with the untucked collared shirt and tie, Flea going spaz. 

They're a band I kinda wish would hang it up.  Neil Young may be able to rock into his 60s.....but the Chilis spark comes from youth IMO.  I think their schtick at age 50 will be pretty lame but perhaps I'm ageist.

Ah, yesterday coincidentally I saw Suck my Kiss on VH1, great tune.

My fave album by them, oddly, is One Hot Minute. Tough never been a big fan, still great band.

They're so much fun to watch live! LOL
Flea making his weird speeches, jumping around, playing bass naked, with his weird hairdoos... LOL
And DAMN, they're tight and funky! And great musicians! I love them!

Hmm, well they're better than I remember.

Yet still completely as self-indulgent as ever too.

Halleluhwah is 18:31 in length and Aumgn is 17:30.  Then you also have Peking O at 11:36...

Paperhouse is a good tune though.  Mushroom annoys me a tad though.

I'll find out in a minute if I feel the same way.

Mushroom is going on too long and it's only 4:04... LOL

On the plus side, Grave New World is gold. And I really like The Aerosol Grey Machine, even if the version of Giant Squid/Octopus is a bit flaccid relative to the later H to He take.


Fail.

Not because you're wrong with your assessment of VdGG Giant Squid/Octopus and Squid 1/Squid 2/Octopus.  You're in fact factually incorrect.

Squid 1/Squid 2/Octopus was originally recorded along with some other tracks (that have since disappeared) for a double album Pawn Hearts.  Not for H to He.  They scrapped the idea of a Double Album Pawn Hearts and obviously released it as it was on vinyl.

Even Wikipedia mentions it:

"Squid 1" / "Squid 2" / "Octopus" – 15:24 (bonus track on 2005 reissue) Wink



I know exactly what Squid 1/2/Octopus was recorded for, but it's on my H To He remaster, so that's how I refer to it. I'm just not quite pedantic enough to spend 15 minutes typing out was-going-to-be-on-Pawn-Hearts-when-it-was-going-to-be-a-double-album-but-eventually-got-re-released-on-H-To-He-Who-Am-The-Only-One's-remaster-as-a-bonus-track Wink

Gah, Helleluhwah is still going...

Now I know where the Stone Roses stole their ideas from. LOL

That neo-prog quiz was horrific. Literally, every single one I guessed I got wrong.

Can are like an even more self-indulgent twaddled-up version of The Doors.

Halfway through the new Bond film, pretty boring so far compared to Casino Royale. Action scene after action scene.
