Can I just enter to win Blood Sugar Sex Magic- my copy is scratched. The downloaded versions of the rest of their catalog will suffice.

Did you guys run this by Flea first??

Funny, I was going to ask if I could enter to win everything but One Hot Minute.

I'm going to win everything and stick it under a bridge, where no one will find it except maybe a shirtless muscular guy running at full speed for no reason.

This would be awesome stuff to trade in at Criminal Records. Maybe I could get that GBV box set I've had my eye on. Yay!

i'd like to win because, unlike all the other comments here so far, i'd actually like to own their entire collection and would not be leaving it under bridges or trading it in at my local record shop.

Is it really hate? I'm thinking more like disinterest.

Flea was really awesome in The Big Lebowski though.

I'm not a big fan (I think the only RHCP I own is a 12-inch single of "Hollywood"), but It's sad that Flea has been revealed to be a whiner. I thought he was cooler than that... and a little less desperate.

Oh well.

Its not hate as much as people ganging up on a whiney flea, who (I assume) most of us pegged to be a badass. It's like we're in middle school and he put all his lame-ass emotions in a note and posted it to his locker.

Freaky Styley is a great album. Some of the best drums sounds ever recorded.

...and Jack comes in with the perfect analogy. Really, kudos. Scott, when the contest is over, is ther any way you can tell us the number of entries? That's going to be an interesting statistic. I wonder if people might enter merely because the odds look good and everyone likes winning.

Most of you posters are a bunch of petty, sarcastic pricks. Why is it so bad that artists actually want control of how their music is released, and heaven forbid, actually make some money off their work??

The Chili Peppers may not be the most "cutting-edge" band anymore, but there are far inferior bands out there...they've obviously lasted for a reason.

I see it now...in 2018, Sufjan will either be long-forgotten, or still releasing albums, in which case younger hipsters will be making the exact same snarky comments as those being directed at the Chilis and Pearl Jam...trying to please you "cutting-edge" little shits is a no-win situation for artists.

Is the rant that bad? I can't be bothered to read artists' rants on downloading as it only increases music purchasing. I'll buy an album if its good enough is what they're upset about. People can actually find out if something's a piece of crap ahead of time. But from what I've heard, I'll buy their album...eventually. But getting it for free would be even better.

"yeah, but have you seen the cover art for it??"

actually just caught the artwork in the newspaper today.....wow they just took the title fonts and from no doubt's "return of saturn" brought it to the center of the same exact outer-space background image and cropped out gwen & co. in the bedroom

will it break their collective hearts if I neither download nor purchase the record?
I had planned on picking this cd up just because I figured that it'd have a few tunes that an old school Peppers fan might enjoy, but after heaing the single and the title track I'm going to have to take a pass.
and to top it off, john frusiante hates the poo poodles!
