I'm willing to bet that I've been listening to the Peppers since most of you were still crapping in your diapers." Your ability to mistake a cult of personality for talent along with your apparent willingness to beat yourself about the head with what is basically the same song carried over nine albums are almost as impressive as your ad-hominem attacks. I don't care for the RHCP at all - their whining doesn't even irritate me enough to jump on the "share lossless rips of their latest" bandwagon. But then again after your "lazy whining little cunt" diatribe... I don't have anything better to do today.

The Chili Peppers are a good band that actually have what--?? TALENT! How many bands can you really say this about these days? I'm willing to bet that I've been listening to the Peppers since most of you were still crapping in your diapers. By the way doesn't the artist have the right to have control over their work anymore? The main problem with these complaints is that most of you deplore capitalism in general and anyone who feels otherwise is an evil greedy bastard for wanting to make a profit for anything. How do you think that the technology that you take for granted (obviously) has thrived so much? People make money!!! Instead of hating others' for their success why don't you go out and do something about achieving it for yourself instead of being a lazy whining little cunt? "I can't earn as much as the other guy wha wha wha! People with money (that they rightfully earned mind you) are evil and greedy. If I can't have as much as someone else then nobody should." Do you realize how immature and childish this sounds? This is exactly how YOU sound to me. Fucking Marxist worthless pieces of shit....

wah wah wah...............now Flea cant buy a new lambhorghini...................and by the way whats so great about the NEW SOUND....waht does it give you a reach around?

DEAR GOD.............now flea will only have 20 fucking cars instead of 25 because we downloaded hid shitty album. i don't even like the chilli peppers but i gonna download it just to help take money away from the greedy prick.

There are TWO americas and if your on the wealthy side in america you get to ride in confort and spend most of your days at the local country club while some guy you hired runs your corporation. The OTHER america is the poor folks who work 3 jobs just to earn enough to make week to week and month to month bills. C'mon that's total crap. Those are John Edwards' talking points. I can tell you right now that I fit into neither of those extremes. I'm not wealthy enough to forego all but lazy leisure. And I'm not poor beyond repair either. I'm a 19 year old college student living a relatively comfortable middle-class life. I hate this "Two Americas" viewpoint it's so needlessly divisive. I would say that everyone who's commented on this board probably occupies just about the same middle-class space as I do.

May 5th FLAC album of it was posted up. So they dont have to worry about crappy quality of it. Plus i always wait for the proper just so the artist will be pleased.

Fuck off BNP Nazi. You're blaming the wrong people. You should deplore Washington Beijing and multi-national corporation influence on your country but don't take it out on immigrants.

its no different in england where the government prefers forieners to their own people so ure not alone over there in america

It is more than us against them. There are TWO americas and if your on the wealthy side in america you get to ride in confort and spend most of your days at the local country club while some guy you hired runs your corporation. The OTHER america is the poor folks who work 3 jobs just to earn enough to make week to week and month to month bills. If you can not pay any of your bills you enter the AMERICAN UNDERCLASS and that is where you have no freedom no fun and very little access to what the OTHER America laughs at YOU and your inability to buy a middle class lifestyle while they expect the rent.

Look people my original point was that not everything should be about money. Shit people these are artists and artists by tradition care more about the fact that their work reaches people rather then how it reaches people. I am not saying making money is necessarily a bad thing but I think an argument could be made about the evils of money I am rather saying I don’t see why many artists feel making money is the main priority ot their career. Is that really so bad for someone to say that?

I totally dis-agree with jaycross on this. My first impression on the bands album has nothing to do with a poor quality leak (expecially the chili peppers who had some descent albums in the past most of their stuff sounds the same)...Hell if I wanted to I could record the entire album played on Sirius Satelite with the good quality and rip it from there...P2P is just an easier source and I could care less about there feelings...No appologies here...

I totally agree with jaycross on this. If folks choose to make their living through music then fine I'm all for that let them profit from their hard work. It doesn't matter if you "personally" feel the music is crap or if the musicians are millionaires. They became millionaires from hard work. No one sat up one day and said "Hey we are going to give you a boatload of loot for doing nothing". I love P2P but some of you guys kill me with this everything should be free shit.

The "woe is me" millionaire thing doesn't really work for me. I'm sure the Peppers will have a nice little kitty to play with to warrent the small percentage of "geniune fans" who download the album rather then purchase it. And I note that if your "geniune fans" don't buy your album obviously you aren't giving your fans what they want are you?

I agree wtih jaycross. I may be a big fan of p2p but we should all think of the artists too.

Y'know maybe I'm breaking away from the pack on this one but doesn't a band have a right to be pissed off if its new work leaks before they want it to? I wrote about Pearl Jam putting their new single out as a free download before the album release. I support it if/when a band wants to do it. But music is a way of life for these guys. Shouldn't they be afforded the right to decide when their music is first heard? If I'd spent a long time working on a new album only to have poor quality leaks become people's first impression I'd be pretty pissed too.

aww don't worrie flea their will be lossless rips out their soon :)

What ever happened to an artist simply being happy with creating and not caring about how much money is to be made. I know what some of you will say the US is a capitalistic country and there is nothing wrong with making money blah blah blah. But seriously why cant music be about something other then money?

my co-worker actually ran into (litterally) these guys in alaska. by the sound of it flea is a dick.

Jebus are those dudes still around? I thought they went the way of Dodo bird Don't worry Flea i won't d/l your album due to the fact you guys are crappola.

Awwwww....To bad for them....well they don't have to worry. I don't listen to the dried up chili peppers!
