they weren't mainstream before?
Ok, when did the Red Hot Chili Peppers go mainstream?

They were pretty mainstream by BSSM, but Californication was their first album where they started souding like other current music.

Blood Sugar Sex Magic was their first really commercial album. That was also the last RHCP album I purchaced. Their stuff since then has been very uninspired and "fluffy."
[edit] Maybe "really commercial" is the wrong choice of words. BSSM was the first 'studio sounding' album and by the time we get to their new "Zepher" song... Gah! It's horrible.

have you checked out "californication" yet? It is good yes, same general style as "by the way" if you like one you will like the other.

Yes, that's true. All of you people that like By the Way will probably like Californication.
To clarify my 'mainstream' reply, the Peppers' last two albums lack the originality and intensity of all their previous works. They also sound much more like the other bands of today. Hell, they sound like the new Tommy Lee stuff.

I think Californication has elements of the style the band has followed from the beginning (some funk, some rap, etc), sure it may not sound familiar to many, but the formula is still there. I still think Californication sounds great, its one of their best albums, imho.
Maybe its Tommy Lee who sounds like the peppers.
