Poison Open Up And Say... Ahh!

In Los Angeles (I remember a user from Debaser who lives there and confirmed this) they still listen to bands like Cinderella or Ratt; the passion hasn't faded and they're still in style. Enjoyable review that is a pleasure to read, as always.

Putting aside the current Red Hot, which are indeed quite pointless, the early ones are historically very important in my opinion. I don’t know funk, but I trust your word (when you say there are those who have done better), but in fact the merit of the Red Hot is not in proposing funk-rock since they weren't the first to do so; rather, it is in mixing it (especially in their early days) with a splash of rap, metal, punk, etc. From this perspective, I believe the Red Hot, along with Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, and a few others, are among the bands that have most influenced the crossover genre. In my opinion, this is where the importance of the old Red Hot lies.

originality in the sense of personality, because the Incubus haven't invented anything; rather, they've been good at mixing different influences and impacting various groups. Of course, the Red Hot are historically more significant—this is not up for discussion. What I mean is that with the Red Hot, I see little desire for innovation, for daring; at least the Incubus change their skin with every new album and experiment with new solutions. A crow, in my opinion, while far from being a masterpiece, is more particular than the latest albums by the Red Hot. Technique is not a virtue, but it helps; in fact, the Red Hot live are a bit lacking...

To praise, by the way, there's only you and a few other employees from MTV. I don't discuss subjective tastes, but the rock, for example, on Morning View is absolutely more mature compositionally and, technically, the Incubus are superior. Of course, I’m talking about the Red Hot from Californication onwards... A Crow, compared to the previous ones, is a bit of a letdown, but it’s still more unique and original than the chart-topping pop rock of the Red Hot. Listen to Blood Sugar, Mother's Milk, or Uplift Mofo... those are the Red Hot, not at all the predictable group making simple tunes these days...

My last sentence referred to the fact that for these people, Vasco is the pinnacle of Italian rock, and so they ask, "how can you not love him?"

I am increasingly amazed by the musical ignorance of many people who enthusiastically tell you that they love the Red Hot, only to find out that they know just the last three albums, being completely unaware of their funk past. Another stereotype of these people with a limited view of rock: how can you not love Vasco Rossi? How lovely ignorance!!!!

In my personal opinion, the current Incubus eat the Red Hot for breakfast. The Peppers don't really know how to do rock well. One Hot Minute (the only exception) I enjoy listening to, but there Navarro prevented it from reaching the abyss. As for the Red Hot funk, not much to say, they’re history... There is an influence on the ballads, but it’s not a copy-paste, it’s simply influence; indeed, who says the Red Hot aren’t influenced in turn by Incubus? Their latest albums were released almost simultaneously; Make Yourself came out maybe before Californication, Morning View before By the Way. There is an influence, but it pertains to the old Alcum; the current Red Hot still have a lot to learn from Incubus.

Ghemison, read carefully, I said that my favorite rock album by the Peppers is "One Hot Minute," I didn't say it's my favorite by the Red Hot. In "Blood Sugar..." they were doing funk rock, they were completely different from their current style, they weren't exactly rock and in fact, if the current Incubus are to be compared to the Peppers, it's certainly not by referencing "Blood Sugar..." For the rest, I agree with everything said by puntinicazpuntini. I don't understand the press that even calls the Incubus clones of the Red Hot. But where?

But everyone with derivation... what group isn't? It's impossible to invent something completely new, yet the Incubus don't copy melodies; they have their own personality. What you call derivation are influences. In my opinion, "Science" is among the highest peaks of cross-over. The Incubus are leaders and not followers, and I honor the fact that they change their style with each album. For me, up until "Morning View," they were among the most interesting rock bands around. "A Crow..." shows a bit of fatigue, but overall it's a nice album. And similarities with the Red Hot? If only the Red Hot played rock like the Incubus. The only good rock album by the Red Hot was "One Hot Minute," then they moved towards a pop-rock of the lowest level...
