The moment
Fifteen years separate John's two Chili Peppers stubs, and they measure the whole distance: 1991 was a Del Mar fairgrounds hall with Nirvana and Pearl Jam opening; 2006 was the Garden, Stadium Arcadium at #1, the band now the last arena-rock institution standing from that entire generation. The Mars Volta opened — Omar and Cedric's prog labyrinth, the kind of ambitious chaos the Peppers themselves had once been. With Mickey and Jonas, in the building the 1991 version could never have imagined.
From the time
- Stadium Arcadium
“The 2006 double album — #1 everywhere, Grammy-laden, the imperial late phase.”
