I didn't get into them until late in high school, when I was big into the Chili Peppers and other similar types, but man I was all about FNM for a long time.I used to listen to Angel Dust on a loop when I was in high school.
Yeah, I don't really know what to call that genre exactly... Alternative Grunge? FNM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Janes Addiction, Primus, etc... These were all bands that I loved in high school.I didn't get into them until late in high school, when I was big into the Chili Peppers and other similar types, but man I was all about FNM for a long time.

I'd say they're more punk influenced than anything else. There's also the fact that they are ALWAYS openly tripping balls.[DOUBLEPOST=1409682642,1409682568][/DOUBLEPOST]I remember thinking that Les Claypool was a freakin' genius back then. I kinda still do.I mean, FNM/RHCP definitely have a big funk influence, but Primus is just...well, Primus. I don't know if you can classify them, much as I like them.
The difference is FNM hasn't been working on the album for like 20 years. Mike Patton also hasn't spent the last decade morphing into Chris Farley.I wonder if this will be as good as Chinese Democracy.
Side note: Once, many years ago, I made a vow that one special day, I would finally get to play Duke Nukem Forever, and do it while listening to Chinese Democracy. That day did in fact come. It was horrible.
RHCP definitely pulled a lot from punk in the early years for sure, but I think, especially as Flea evolved as a musician, that funk became a prevalent flavor in their music (even if you don't count the Higher Ground and Love Rollercoaster covers). At this point, though, they've turned off both those roads and really become their own thing, which is great. Californication is still one of my all-time favorite albums.[DOUBLEPOST=1409682873][/DOUBLEPOST]I'd say they're more punk influenced than anything else.

Sorry, I meant Primus, not the Chili Peppers.[DOUBLEPOST=1409683000,1409682941][/DOUBLEPOST]Doh, I missed the whole Chinese Democracy thing.RHCP definitely pulled a lot from punk in the early years for sure, but I think, especially as Flea evolved as a musician, that funk became a prevalent flavor in their music (even if you don't count the Higher Ground and Love Rollercoaster covers).

Yeah, it coincided with the apple press release, where they performed. I can't help but feel like this is just a publicity stunt so they can claim to have the biggest album release ever.U2's brand new album is free on iTunes until October 13th.
maybe if they paid meU2's brand new album is free on iTunes until October 13th.
