Can I enter to win everything up to “One Hot Minute” only?
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.
I think he was running from success, towards mediocrity.
I entered! Worth a shot. Anything free is rad!
Can you throw in one of their used crotch-socks? You know… just for the completists?
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’ll just assume you will be posting the mp3′s of we are scientists from radio one this morning. I wanted to thank you in advance. quite the interesting interpretations.
damn, you people are pricks. why all the hate?
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.
what i’d also like were those half a dozen albums john frusiante put out all at once a couple years back.
Does this come with the shark that RHCP jumped around 1993?
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.
Rugrats Go Wild!!!
Freaky Styley is a great album. Some of the best drums sounds ever recorded.
i love stereogum, but what a shitty contest.
…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.
use of the phrase “jump the shark” jumped the shark about 2 years ago.
You’re a towel!
no….you’re a towel
wow…i hope i win.
i’ve always been a closet RHCP fan.
wow….is that really the title of the album? Stadium Arcadium? wtf…
ok i will enter the competition, but only if you can assure me that it will not break flea’s heart, it will not break john frusciante’s heart, it will not break anthony kiedis’s heart and it will not break the heart of chad smith. deal?
fuck relevance, and one hot minute, and flea’s internet ramblings, and fuck hatred for stereogum contests, (i better win that stupid red thing that makes noises) fuck people who hate john frusciante and chad smith, fuck people who still say “jump the shark”, fuck making fun of under the bridge, cause you know you were singing it…fuck it all and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN I WIN A GOD DAMN STEREOGUM CONTEST, JUST ONCE!!!
Foley will triumph.
What Hits is a DVD?
the only thing that makes me sad is the photoshop stars on the graphic.
“wow….is that really the title of the album? Stadium Arcadium? wtf…”
yeah, but have you seen the cover art for it??
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.
“the chilis”? lol
no but seriously, john frusciante should make another series of solo albums instead of wasting his time with “the chilis”…
Bravo sir, thank you for pointing out my incorrect use of the Red Hot Chili Peppers name. I beg your pardon. Nitpicking little prick.
the pleasure was all mine…
You can stream the new RHCP album at vh1.com already:

SHH! Flea would be pissed if he found out!
look if flea would have come out and admit he was bummed because he was missing out on some sweet $… but the “sound”? the “sound”? c’mon… think about the children in africa dude… won’t somebody think about the children in africa.
If you take away the sound, what do we have left? Nothing but artwork.
how about a 40 years old guy with a sock over his ding dong
where are all the cool kids?? Oh I know, they are at their local record store looking for “wire” cd’s.
if i win i am going to post their music on every file sharing network i can find.
Is it wrong of me to have downloaded Stadium Arcadium in spite of Flea?
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!
i love spam ^^^^
