My criticism of Anthony has nothing to do with his performance...he's an amazing frontman.
But it's common knowledge among rock fans that Anthony is NOTORIOUSLY bad at staying in tune live. This has been discussed going back to the '90s.
Mick certainly has his shortcomings as vocalist, but he works hard, takes care of his voice, and stays in tune.

I used to love RHCP and especially Blood Sugar Sex Magik in the 90’s. Their music has aged terribly to me. Maybe I grew up. Not sure what it is, but Anthony is embarrassing.

One Hot Minute is criminally underrated.

Considering what both "parts" (RHCP and JA) came from (the very good "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" and the superb "Ritual De Lo Habitual") OHM came out as a huge disappointment imho.

I "discovered" the Peppers only with Blood Sugar. I was blown away the first time I listened to it and still consider it one of the best things of the 90s.
Very sorry when Frusciante left, but I remember the mix of high expectations and curiosity when I read that Navarro would replace him. Expectations because Navarro's contribution to Janes Addiction was huge, curiosity because his guitar style was quite the opposite of Frusciante's.
I agree that One Hot Minute was a good album, but it certainly did not meet my expectations. And it certainly didm't have the impact of Frusciante's comeback, Californication.
Californicatiom, now that was a real masterpiece! So huge that it took me years to really appreciate its successor By the Way.

I just listened to "My Lovely Man" from a 1994 FM broadcast of an Irish show and on that one Navarro displays his main flaw : he plays funk without any passion.
He plays the Frusciante track like a metal guy would : aptly but you easily feel funk is not his thing.

The guy writes the same melody over and over again. He’s terrible. Yes as a frontman he’s great but at the same time a musical doofus.

"Our only goal is to get lost in the music. We spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another, to make the best album we could. Our antennae attuned to the divine cosmos, we were just so damn grateful for the opportunity to be in a room together, and, once again, try to get better. Days, weeks and months spent listening to each other, composing, jamming freely, and arranging the fruit of those jams with great care and purpose. The sounds, rhythms, vibrations, words and melodies had us enrapt. We yearn to shine a light in the world, to uplift, connect, and bring people together. Each of the songs on our new album UNLIMITED LOVE, is a facet of us, reflecting our view of the universe. This is our life’s mission. We work, focus, and prepare, so that when the biggest wave comes, we are ready to ride it. The ocean has gifted us a mighty wave and this record is the ride that is the sum of our lives. Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoy it.”- John, Anthony, Chad, and Flea
“When we got together to start writing material, we began by playing old songs by people like Johnny "Guitar" Watson, The Kinks, The New York Dolls, Richard Barrett and others. Ever so gradually, we started bringing in new ideas, and turning jams into songs, and after a couple of months the new stuff was all we were playing. The feeling of effortless fun we had when we were playing songs by other people, stayed with us the whole time we were writing. For me, this record represents our love for, and faith in each other.”- John

LOL, agree for the most part, but I'd say he has about 3 melodies that he repeats. And yes, terrible!!

After 2 listens, I'm pretty disappointed in the new record. I'll give it more listens but again, Anthony is the weak link. & you've get Rick "brickwall" Rubin producing again. Ugh.
