[ataxia]

it's cool, i like the background, i just wish they have more things on it

[nellalind]

It looks great, but they're not done yet, plenty of links still to be fixed etc. anyhow, and the board even looks better than it used to (how couldn't it?) but that probably won't make me post in there ^^

[yeh_yeh_]

its looks very good i must say. but its kinda annoying how it takes longer to scroll down the page now, for me at least.

[theotherfiona]

yep it's coming along nicely!

I'm not a fan of just having the little bit in the middle for stuff but sure there you go. But it seems that we have a blogging section and we might have to get all competative to get member of the week!!!!

But yep, there's plenty of potential there, t'will be intersting to see the finished verison!

I wonder will i ever get to be a member of the week....!

[taurus82]

I am still getting used to the layout. But I really like what John wrote for the site.

[Surrogate_Helical]

Its good, still needs work but its coming along really well

[Iva]

It's anything but dial-up friendly

i'm not giving my credit card details to it, just to get a free memberhip!!! can't access much without membership, but i'm very security conscious and it sucks that they want credit card details to join. maybe i'll do a paid subscription and renew my fanclub membership but that seems like a hassle at the moment.

[vega]

I can't even open the new site...so much about it. ARGH.

[boon]

i did read what john wrote today ... i didn't know where he wrote it so i had a little look around .... he was so sweet! really nice thing to write!

The site is absolute crap. For 4 months of work, zero content, forum issues, images that look shite, exclusive content that you can get anywhere, This message in most places "Sorry. There are no results", should have had a slow modem friendly mirror, Content stuck in a 100 px wide block that sometimes cant scroll on certain browsers, and it is totally made for 800 x 600 resolution which is useless on a 19 " screen or higher. I could pick out many more flaws. But that is being ultra negative.

Im just sick of people praising such shit. The rhcp site has been poor for such a long time and they have so many paying members. Where does the money go??

btw I am a paying fanclub member and am now not sure why.

Keep up the good work Iva

Biography
Stadium Arcadium

Many of the gods, goddesses, angels, demons and elementals of the universe have conspired to send messages from beyond through the Red Hot Chili Peppers for the current civilization. After a year and a half of channeling and organization, these messages have taken the materialized form of the double CD Stadium Arcadium. If you let go and let this music take you by the hand it will take you flying through skies of sound. It will zoom you up well above outer space and it will show you around planes of existence that do not share the laws and conditions of this reality. And when it brings you down to earth it will dig deep into that shit. It will also teach you to fall back without landing on your ass and to fall forward without falling on your face. Let go and you can be two places at once, you can be as big as the whole universe and as small as an atom simultaneously. You can unite with a star or a plant. You are everything you see around you and the ideas in this music may get you to start realizing what a great power that can be.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are learning all these things with whoever wants to come along. They are letting the invisible glorious kingdom of music give them shelter. The have crawled inside the body of music and they are inviting you inside.

All is an illusion which gives us the wonderful opportunity to play with everything in existence. In the words of one of the supreme gods of funk, "Nothing is good unless you play with it." The Red Hot Chili Peppers have twisted up nature into a decidedly psychedelic form. They have made music that can drive you to a place where nothingness is motion and movement and stillness are one. They have played with light, darkness, sound, silence, form, air, and space to make music that plays with the listener.

Born four separate people they have successfully become one. Their music is proof that four minds can become one, which prompts the question, why not a billion minds? They recommend that you shut off your mind and let Stadium Arcadium fly you away to a place where everything and nothingness are one. They recommend that you let the music take you away to a place where everything is OK.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers and their holy guru Rick Rubin have put together music that can take you out of your body, so come inside the great outdoors. Breathe the water. Drink the air. Sleep on a cloud. Run up the beam of light from a star. You are free. Close your eyes, open your mind, and let this music in and you will see that this is true.

This album was recorded primarily in Laurel Canyon in the Blood Sugar mansion. The recording and mixing was a year long project as it involved finishing 38 songs, 28 of which were chosen to become Stadium Arcadium. The album features Chad Smith on drums, Anthony Kiedis on lead vocals, Flea on bass, and John Frusciante on guitar and background vocals. They also all do this that and the other thing. Rick Rubin watched over the big picture and worked his brand of magic on the music, giving it balance whenever it might have fallen off the edge of the earth. The songs were written at the Alley in the Valley which is where BloodSugar was written. They were written over the course of six months. The band and the producer all had mates with whom they were in love through out this whole project. That love, heart, and warmth is in the music. You are also hearing the sound of analog tape, may it live forever. --John Frusciante, March 2006



I dont know, but I feel John should keep to writing songs and playing guitar.
Also they could have run a spell check over it for they guy.
