I SAW RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS LAST NIGHT AND THEY ARE THE BEST BAND EVER LIVE EVER AND NON-LIVE.

 

 

Honestly, it only confirmed that in my mind. Before last night, Coldplay were the best live band I'd seen, followed by Kasabian and Foo Fighters, but the Chilis are a level ahead. It's not even comparable. They just improvise and it's so special. It means every gig is different. Coldplay were great, amazing even, but Chili Peppers were a level higher.

 

A-m-a-z-i-n-g

By The Way & Californication are their only 2 good albums.

 

Stadium Arcadium sounded like it was just 3 different songs played slightly differently , and even one of those 3 songs is a blatant Tom Petty rip-off.

I personaly think One Hot Minute is a pretty kick ass album besides By The Way and Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers suing Showtime over show "Californication"

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers sue over 'Californication' Story Highlights

 

 

Band had 1999 album with same name

 

Suit says character in show named after another song

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Red Hot Chili Peppers on Monday sued Showtime Networks over the name of the television series "Californication," which is also the name of the band's 1999 album and a single on it.

 

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis says "Californication" is the band's signature song.

 

The lawsuit alleges unfair competition, dilution of the value of the name and unjust enrichment, claiming the title is "inherently distinctive, famous ... and immediately associated in the mind of the consumer" with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

 

"Californication is the signature CD, video and song of the band's career, and for some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right," the band's lead singer, Anthony Kiedis, said in a statement.

 

The television series stars David Duchovny as a novelist suffering from writers' block and a mid-life crisis.

 

The show features a character named "Dani California," which is also the title of a Red Hot Chili Peppers song released in 2006, the lawsuit noted.

 

The suit also names the show's creator and executive producer, Tom Kapinos, and two production companies, Twilight Time Films and Aggressive Mediocrity, Inc.

 

A call Monday to an attorney for Showtime was not immediately returned. Attempts to find a listing for Kapinos were not successful.

 

The suit seeks a permanent injunction barring Showtime and the other defendants from using the title "Californication" for the show, damages and restitution and disgorgement of all profits derived by the defendants.

 

In July 2007, Kapinos told reporters at a Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills that he first heard the term in reference to Oregon.

 

"Apparently in the '70s there were bumper stickers that said 'Don't Californicate Oregon,' because Californians were coming up there, and I just thought it was a great, great title for this show," said Kapinos.

Blatant rip off if you ask me!!!

Red Hot Chili Peppers sue themselves for copying Tom Petty on Dani California.

The chords or very similar to 'Last Dance With Mary Jane', aren't they?;)

 

Still, I see their point. Californication is a unique title...almost a new word.

 

Duchovney's playing a writer...again? It would have been ironic if they'd spelled it 'Kalifornacation' as in 'Kalifornia', the movie he starred in with Brad Pitt. Coincidentally, he also played a writer in the movie. Ooh, spooky.:P

But yeah I do agree with them on this one. Especially having a character named Dani California.

 

I wonder if they have a character "Charlie".....or if it takes place All Around the World. Or maybe in a Parallel Universe. Or maybe its just on the Other Side.

^Yeah them using that name is well,crosses the line i reckon.

Not that I know of, but I hear that the new S-Files movie's going to be sub-titled Blood Sugar Sex Magic.

:laugh3: Of man that made me spill my mothers milk.

With a bad pun like that, you have to use the ':rolleyes:'.

 

:laugh3:

Okay if you insist. Why don't you just go Suck My Kiss :rolleyes:

Oh no! Can't Stop addicted to the :rolleyes:

Oh God!! I've been posessed by qwerty!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I had wondered about this, actually. so it comes as no surprise................... ;)

I like RHCP and all, but this is kind of stupid. Just like when Paris Hilton decided to copyright "That's Hot", a phrase that everyone has said before she did anyway. If "Californication" isn't copyrighted or anything, then why the big deal? It's not like it's they were the first to say or use that word.

I disagree. I think that Californication is a distinct RHCP name. At least I've never heard it in any other context. Paris Hilton deciding to copyright "That's Hot" is plain stupid because lots of people say that anyways.
