Hit: 2 Stars
I love the RHCPs. They are an amazing, a talented group of musicians who seem to always be in sync musically with beach boy esque harmonies and melodies. But this collection is just bad. I love all the songs but it is very botched.
Here is what I think of this great band's greatest hits and great video collection. I am stating the facts:
BSSM
Under the Bridge-CD/DVD
Give It Away-CD/DVD
Suck My Kiss-CD/DVD
Breaking the Girl-CD only
Missing: If you Have to Ask(entirely)
Breaking the Girl-DVD
What went wrong: A start to the many flaws, but not entirely awful on this album portion. Of course, If you have to ask was a single. Higher Ground is a great song, and was included on the What Hit's Compilation in 1994. It would have been wonderful to have that song substituted for If you Have to Ask, but I guess the record label needed a trade-off when it would be time for the band to release a greatest hits compilation for Warner Bros., as they did get Under the Bridge on What Hit's from EMI. So a favor for a favor. Lastly, Why oh why, do you not include Breaking the Girl on DVD. That is by far one of the best ever Chili Peppers videos!!!!!!! EVER!!!!! No Breaking the Girl video deducts major points!!!
One Hot Minute
My Friends-CD/DVD
Aeroplane-DVD only
Missing: Warped(entirely)
Aeroplane-CD
What went wrong: First off, it is no secret John Fruscante discards that One Hot Minute was ever a RHCP album. As side from that, John is truly one of the greatest guitar heroes from the 90's and on (although I strongly disagree with Rolling Stones placing him at # 17 of the all-time top 100). But John, you weren't in the band at this time, and did not play on the album, so if you critize this album, then please support your critism and complain about the albums made prior to you first joining the band. I thought so. As for the actual songs,
Warped and Aeroplane were singles, and although they do include the Aeroplane video on the DVD, I am amazed they didn't follow the pattern for the CD.
Californaication
Scar Tissue-CD/DVD
Californication-CD/DVD
Otherside-CD/DVD
Parallel Universe-CD only
Road Trippin'-CD/DVD
Missing:
Around The World(entirely)
Parallel Universe-DVD
What went wrong: Parallel Universe is a great track and the video is missed. But you missed putting the actual album
single Around The World on the CD/DVD, WTF!@# Again I am puzzled. A great song and an excellent video. Very bad job!
By The Way
By The Way-CD/DVD
Universally Speaking-CD/DVD
The Zephyr Song-DVD only
Can't Stop-DVD only
Missing:
The Zephyr Song-CD
Can't Stop-CD
What went wrong: I am starting to give up what went wrong, but another case of great songs only presented on this
collection in the video form!
New tracks
Fortune Faded-CD only
Save the Population-CD only
Missing
Fortune Faded-DVD
What went wrong: Yes there is a new video, why not included it!!!
The rest (misc. collections)
Soul to Squeeze-CD/DVD
Missing
Love Rollercoaster(enitrely)
What went wrong: Well Love Rollercoaster was a great song and was a single, and featured a cool
animated video with Beavis and Butthead, but again what else is new with this collection.
ANNOYANCES: THE DVD IS NOT A CONTINOUS PLAYING DVD. AFTER YOU SELECT A SONG VIDEO TO WATCH YOU MUST GO BACK AND SELECT ANOTHER VIDEO TO WATCH, THIS IS PARTICULARLY ANNOYING SINCE YOU CANNOT JUST CONTINOUS PLAY THE DVD AND ENJOY THEM VIDEO AFTER VIDEO.
Bottom Line: Hey the results speak for themselves. I love the Chili Peppers, but whoever made this collection botched
the hell out of it. And the DVD is a nice feature its just a pain to keep selecting another video you want to watch, so there really isnt any releaxing watching the DVD. Get it at your own risk!
