Red Hot Chili Peppers - One Hot Minute Broken Records - The Search for the Worst Album Ever
-
- Music Commentary
Steve's already let his feelings on this week's Broken Record be known but can Remfry make him see reason? Short answer ... no. But then, both our hosts have a soft spot of sorts (one more so than the other) for One Hot Minute, the sixth full-length studio album by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
An album which Steve believes ‘justifies their entire ridiculous existence as a band’ and Remfry calls 'the most frustrating RHCP album in a back catalogue full of frustrating albums', One Hot Minute is the follow-up to the world conquering Blood Sugar Sex Magik, an album that firmly established Red Hot Chili Peppers as one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Disaster followed soon after however as John Frusciante became disenchanted with fame and quit, Anthony Kiedis relapsed after 5 years clean, and Flea (gulp) ... sang!
To replace Frusciante, the Chilis looked to former Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro, a wonderful guitarist who errr ... doesn't really like funk. Bit of an issue for the biggest funk rock band in the world, but they persevered all the same, creating the most eccentric album the band would ever release in the process. Largely ignored by a large swathe of the band's fans (and the band themselves to be fair) One Hot Minute has nevertheless garnered devotional cult adoration by a small minority and has become the most celebrated Red Hot Chili Peppers album among those who can not f**king stand the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
