Keep in mind, Frusciante let one of his solo records fall out of print with no plans of ever releasing it because it was so shitty.
There is a guy at work about 10 years older than me that is taking his Christian wife to see the Chili Peppers this year at some arena in Kansas City. I looked at him, not pegging him as a fan and not pegging the band as catering to the Fundamentalist crowd.
Actual quote from that conversation: "What's the funny guy's name...I forget...Real good bass player?"

"Finding songs that seem to
want to join hands with others is a special task that require the right
people... and the right songs!" said RHCP guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. "Some
songs seem to have a lot more of an agenda than others. Some songs play well
with others and some songs need more attention and a little extra care. Here are
some songs that seemed to want to pair up and take a later train. Keep your eye
on them, they're up to something..."
Each of the nine
seven-inches will feature cover artwork by Kelsey Brookes (www.kelseybrookes.com). Brookes' well-documented
background in microbiology, surf culture and folk art combine in explosive
prisms of raucous color, bold imagery and timeless motifs. His work has appeared

Juxtapoz, Beautiful Decay and Dazed and Confused.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
