iTunes Store Offering Free Stream of Unreleased Red Hot Chili Peppers Album

This is just like all previous garbage of RHCP, just a bunch of noise. Not worth the storage and bandwidth. And yet they keep on asking money for it.

We know you're just angry because they're not doing this with any Justin Bieber albums.

Just like your comment, except for the asking for money part. I'm sure there's stuff that you buy that other people don't like either. That doesn't mean that it isn't good. I never really liked Elvis but that doesn't mean that he sucked. There's no doubting that the Chili Peppers are skilled musicians.

I think they'll need to do more and more stuff like this. Since downloading Spotify, I haven't touched iTunes. But I'm not sure if iTunes as a music service is as important to Apple as it once was. They've never made a huge percentage of their revenue from it, and their iPod business is shrinking. I could imagine them adding free streaming alongside downloads to create a service similar to Spotify. Although, they don't like advertising, so not sure how they would pull of the free part of it . . .

No john frusciante. Disappointing.

I know, when I read that he had left the band again I was disappointed too. They really shined with him. I just hope he doesn't revert back to his old ways. I saw a documentary on him and he was so strung out on heroin and totally out of his mind. It brings a tear to my eye every time I see it because I'm thinking we were SO close to losing this guy forever..but he pulled himself out of his spiral and returning to the band really helped.

Again, disappointed that he's not on this album, but, I'll wait to pass judgement.

Loving all the 'Don't hate on the artist I like, hate on an artist I don't like from an entirely different genre instead!' posts. :cool:

They should do this with all pre-orders.

No john frusciante. Disappointing.

And the album deserves it! Great record.

I'm more shocked that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are still cranking out albums.

I'm no troll, but i would definitely have to agree with Elektro. This band is washed up, boring, and lifeless. There are plenty of non commercialized noise rock and shoegaze that would blow this out of the water. I don't think he/she was trolling, but merely stating the obvious!
