Red Hot Chili Peppers (when they were Red Hot back in the 80's)

I always oved their first 5 records (although One Hot Minute has great drive and energy too)
I tried to play their aggressive funky songs and guys.... let me say they ROCK if you are able to play "Mother's Milk" you are a real Funk Master. There is everything... groove, speed, drive, energy, power,feeling, good mood and all funk chords you can imagine.
What do ya think about their 80's period?
This stuff moves my lazy ass :onfire:

I always liked the Chili's when they do that heavy funk thing. [/quote]
Me too.
I have a few records but the only one I ever listen to is Blood Sugar Sex Magic. Love that record, but it took me several years AFTER the record was out and popular before I gave it a chance. I thought I would hate it but all of a sudden it was a really important record. I still listen to it once in a while and love it. I hate Under the Bridge though and always skip Suck My Kiss, Give It Away, and Breaking the Girl.
They don't seem edgy these days though. They seem like they spend a lot of time in places like San Francisco and use words like "organic" way too often in sentences that have nothing to do with food. Although I will say that they seem like humble, genuine guys. I just wish they whip out a Mellowship Slinky or Apache Rose Peacock once in a while.
I'm a big fan of The Funk anyway and loved that Funk Metal thing that happened between 88 and 92...Living Colour, Fishbone, 24/7 Spyz, Electric Boys, Dan Reed Network...all brilliant bands and excellent time for music!
