Talk:One Hot Minute/Archive 1

Later Setlists
"Although the band has not played any songs from this album since Frusciante's return in 1998 (due to the change in guitar style), the album fared well on the charts." I actually saw them in concert in 1999 with John Frusciante and they played "Pea." It's just Flea (as opposed to the band), but it IS off the album in question.

Subjectivity
Their style regresses without the beauty of nostalgia on tracks such as "Walkabout"

This statement could be construed as subjective. A reasonable point about the subject of the article, but deceptively worded.

^ I agree, but not at all sure how i would go about changing it...

About the drumming
Many of the songs on One Hot Minute where not recorded by Chad Smith, so the statment about it being his "finest" may not be entirly applicable, that is unless since he wrote it it is still essentially his talent that is of importance, could someone more musically minded please offer a solotuion?

Where on earth did you hear that Chad did not record the drums on this album? I have never heard anything like ths and I know A LOT about the Chili Peppers. Egg Creations 18:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I simply confused the Purcussionists on the album with being session drummers. I didn't realise that "Purcussion" and "Druming" are two seperate concepts. I can assure you my face is red, and I retract my statment.

It's cool don't worry about it, Egg Creations 16:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Although a lot of drummers call themselves percussionists when they're not. --andreasegde 07:28, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Tearjerker
Someone mentioned that 'Tearjerker' could be about Slovak. While listening to the song that could be a valid arguement, but if you read Kiedis' autobiography he mentions that the song is in fact about Cobain. (Egg Creations 18:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC))

not to mention the fact that slovak wasn't wearing a dress when kiedis met him and he didn't have whiskers on his chin. (just lines from the song)

RHCP Info
This article is about the One Hot Minute album but contains a lot of unnecessary information about the band and John Frusciante's temporary departure. I don't think it's relevant to this article so I've removed a lot of it. SJH 15:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but the article is not just about the album, it's also about the era. I think it would be fine if anyone might want to create pages on album eras (in the form of album era) I dunno, but that's just my opinion. --

I think that the set and setting are what make some albums so great! It gives a better description and understanding of the album if you understand what was happening around it. --

Pea
About Pea, I thought it might be worth mentioning that it had to be taken off the album in order for it to be sold at Wal-Mart. It would have been a bit foolish to actually edit the song because every other word would be cut out. If you're wondering where I got the info, Flea said it in an interview with what I believe was Bass Player magazine. SandwichHat 03:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree... I think it too should be added in. Should it be put under critical reception? Or possibly an "additional information" area? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.250.83 (talk) 01:15, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Navarro
Navarro was actually clean during the recording of One Hot Minute.Paralleluniverse 11:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Where did you hear THAT? --

Underrated?
It is mentioned how the One Hot Minute has become discarded and overlooked. Would it be okay to add that many fans consider this album underrated? After reading various album reviews, it is clear that many people certainly feel this way.
 * Yeah i think this is their finest release, this is the album i constantly listen to unlike the rest. Either way, it was panned by both critics and fans so we have no proof to call it underated. However the fact that Navarro provided a unique sound and was at his best like Smith could prove a point.


 * The album was not critically panned at the time of it's release. That's what most people don't really understand. But to throw in some personal opinion, this is by far their best work. Paralleluniverse 19:53, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Navarro-vocals?
It says on here that Navarro played backing vocals, what songs were they on Speedboy Salesman 12:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Tracklisting
Defunct Lies 22:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)I'm making articles on the remaining tracks on the listing if that's okay with you guys.

Go for it! --

Stretch and One Big Mob
For some bizarre reason, the article said that Stretch started with the same riff that One Big Mob ends with. Whomever wrote that in must be tone-deaf, or just not paying attention. I deleted it.

I was wondering about that one as well. Strech sounds totally different to One Big Mob, Also, who keeps changing the title from Strech to Strech You Out? 83.100.132.221 16:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

When the band was working on the album both tracks were intended to be one song titled One Big Mob/Stretch You Out. Notice how on the album One Big Mob faded out and into Walkabout. It was supposed to fade out into Stretch. The song was however released as Stretch. Jason1978, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I've read this from an authorative source before, an interview with Flea somewhere, so yeah, that is true, although I can't provide a citation so I wouldn't add it back in. Personally I think the last 20 seconds of One Big Mob sound amazing and I wish there was a song which had that feel to it but Stretch (which was a b-side afaik, at least, it's out there) doesn't sound like that at all either. Mysterious. -- 128.240.229.7 (talk) 13:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Anthony photo
Someone continues to add a photo of Anthony with his flaming helmet from the 1992 Lollapalooza tour to the One Hot Minute page. I have taken it down a few times. The photo is NOT from the 1996 era. The Peppers never wore flaming helmets with Dave. Only time they did this was on the mentioned Lollapalooza tour and 1992 MTV music awards. Maybe the person who continues to place this picture on the page is mistaking it with the lightbulb helemets they wore at Woodstock with Dave. Jason1978, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Never wore the flaming helmets with Navarro? And yet here they are at the Reading Festival in 1994--with Dave Navarro--wearing them while playing the song "The Power of Equality": http://youtube.com/watch?v=3OGkoPDeGME

You are actually correct and I forgot about them doing it there however the fire helmets were pretty much only used on the Blood Sugar tour (mainly the Lollapalooza tour and some of the dates after that and even Anthony wore it at the MTV movie awards in 93) but Reading was the only time I believe with Dave that they wore it. As for that picture, I actually have it in a 1992 issue of RIP magazine (does that mag still exist) with a special on Lollapalooza 1992. It is however hard to tell what the background of the stage looks like because the Lolla 92 stage setup for the Peppers was the same for every show with a black and white spiral background.

GA review
I've taken a look through the article (this is a GA review combined with a peer review essentially), and noticed the following issues:


 * "Love Rollercoaster and I Found Out" These covers were in fact recorded during the One Hot Minute recording sessions! Who keeps deleting this ?

For the above reasons, I'm placing the article on hold. The hold will expire on 24 October. (Once these issues have been addressed, I'll promote the article) CloudNine 17:31, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Done, thanks! I'll await anything more you have. NSR 77  T C  20:28, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe you've addressed all the comments I've made, so I've passed this as a good article. CloudNine 18:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

So-called...
"My Friends" is apparently a "blatant attempt to hold on to the mainstream audience gained by "Under the Bridge"". Please bear in mind that in this review, Stephen Thomas Erelwine simultaneously cites "Transcening" to exemplify this view, even though it is blatantly not just a pop-ballad in the same vein as "My Friends", since it clearly transforms in the second half into a heavy grunge song. Loganator 01:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well the article clearly states that the quote is from a review conducted by Stephen Thomas Erlewine and doesn't mislead the reader into thinking this is a common fact. The 'Critical reception' section exists to synthesize the numerous reviews of an album and boil it down into a few core sentences. Critics can have wildly different perceptions of any album, and are entitled to such as per their job description. NSR 77  T C  20:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

ARIA number-one album box
This box may not be essential to the article, but I am adding these boxes to every ARIA number-one album article so that not just few and far between have them, and so that number-one albums can be linked chronologically. Therefore, I think that this box should be kept.--Classicrockfan42 (talk) 04:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I also feel the succession box adds to the article per WP:SBS. Reaching #1 anywhere is an eventful accomplishment. For readers, being able to flow from one #1 album to the next over a charts history, adds value to both the research and the article. --Wolfer68 (talk) 23:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Scope of Article?
The topic of this article is the album One Hot Minute. While I'm clear sections 1-5 all belong, I think the discussion of the tour, subsequent difficulties and eventual reunion all belong in the band's article, not this article. any thoughts? Joe JJC (talk) 02:57, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

This reads like an Anthony Kiedis biography
Something about this article strikes me as off. There is WAY too much Anthony Kiedis info that really has nothing to do with One Hot Minute. Breaking his arm, breaking his leg, playing through a typhoon.... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the album, One Hot Minute.

Featured?
How could this be a featured article when it has unsourced statements? Demote. --The Cobwebs and the Sorrow (talk) 14:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Genre
This is the only RHCP article that isn't listed as funk rock, but it's quite funky, I'm going to change that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.134.226 (talk) 15:22, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Album outtakes
This section is a post-FAC addition that is unsourced except for a short MTV article which does not support the entire section. I removed a citation to a google site which did not appear to be reliable. This section will have to be cited or removed, as it is causing the article not to meet FA criteria. Pinging as he appears to have added this content. -- Laser brain  (talk)  17:07, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
