gaz_nokiamusic, maybe One Hot Minute is your favourite album of the Peppers. But musically seen it is the worst album of them, anyway that's my opinion off course. I miss the sound of John, his voice his guitarplaying. It is too dark for the Peppers. And many people think that too, that album wasn't a succes.

@Cloud-kun: "cause there're no chili peppers without john..." I would tend to agree but One Hot Minute is still their best IMO, though that could be attributed to where I was in my life when that came out and how I associate them with those memories.
