Congrats to Erin G., of Pinehurt, NC, who wins the entire RHCP CD/DVD catalog! If for some reason she doesn't respond to my e-mail, I'll pick someone else. (It's happened before.) Stereogum accepts no responsibility if Flea comes knocking on your door.
Congrats are also in order for John Frusciante, who finally gets to show off his tats on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
You'll remember ... sometimes Jann airbrushes out the guitarist.

The Killers did good with Hot Fuss, their flashy debut of hooky Vegas new wave. Their look and glitzy synth tones were dialed directly into Indie '04, and after a few years of touring and fan base swelling, they talked...

Cold Cave is the brainchild of Philadelphia's Wesley Eisold, ex-Some Girls, Give Up The Ghost, XO Skeletons, and currently Ye Olde Maids, etc. We're calling his newest project a Band To Watch, but Eisold received some high-profile press when Fall...

Prolific deepwoods Vermonters Matt Valentine (who played in the excellently ramshackle Tower Recordings) and Erika Elder are back with Drone Trailer. They're not shy about releasing recordings (together and apart), but the collections often show up in limited runs or...

I really think Chad Smith is Will Ferrell's Frat Boy character on SNL's doppleganger.

Does it come with Tom Petty's 'greatest hits' as well?

Actually, Frusciante did not want to be in that shoot (I can't remember if it was in an online interview or in Spin - or elsewhere), but J.F. said (recently) that he didn't feel comfortable about doing the shoot - something to the effect of not seeing it as vital to the band. So that may be why he wasn't on the cover.

It's so messed up to watch the videos on YouTube of when he was all drugged out and then look at him now. It truly looks (and obviously acts) like two different people, it's amazing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Chad looked like Mugatu there.
Hansel is so hot right now

JF looks like JC

$100 worth of e-respect if you know who replaced John Frusciante (very briefly, and only on tour) before Dave Navarro. I have no idea why I still remember this, so I'll be mad impressed if anyone else does.

Impressive. You two can split the imaginary $100.
Who was he anyway? I remember nothing but his name.

Red Hot Chili Peppers is my all time least favourite band. Why does every song sound the same and require some sort of skatting about California?

I think if Anthony Kiedis quit and the other three started a band with John taking the lead they would be a shit ton better.

agreed, stephen.
poor frusciante's sad skin grafted arms...

J.F. actually sits around thinking what is or isn't vital to the band is part of the band's PROBLEM.
Score = 0
ewwwwwww

what's wrong w/ anthony's hand?
Score = 0
A song like "Tear" off "By the Way"...if that didn't have Kiedis on lead vocals, everyone here who doesn't like the band would be salivating over it, myself included.
