Okay Dennis A. shut up about singing because Anthony sings just fine and M saying everything after Californication is just filler? You got to be kidding me…

OK I have been a Chili Peppers fan for at least 16 years, and I can say the only reason I watched the show in the first place is because of the name. In my eyes it would lead you belive that at least a G.D. song would have been used. There is even a character on the show that Hank (Duchovny) calls DANI CALIFORNIA Hello! as for the people out there that think Anthony sux well go to hell!
and the big Tom Petty thing both Albums were Produced by Rick Rubin don’t ya think he would of caught on just shut up and find somthing better to do ‘peace!

the notes were different? thanks for chiming in with your expert opinion. which notes, the “W” “L” “Q#” and “N”? Isn’t Petty’s song in the key of R# and Chili’s in the key of X?

Red Hot chili peppers are right to sue Californication they have every right!!!
As for Tom Petty he had the chance to sue them but he didn’t because the notes were different.

That Brotherhood is one damn good show, and that’s no joke. I finally get to watch my fellow micks get medeval!!!

Hey, that Californication is one great show!

Duchovny plays this burnt out writer named Hank (interesting choice) Moody. He’s a drunk, who has writers’ block. And for whatever reason, when a woman spots him, her legs automatically fly open! In short, it’s flaming pile of shit!

The word in question was used in the 1970’s in a million bumper stickers and print ads.

Sounds like some rockers need to grow up.

Duchovny?

I don’t like the guy. Maybe I’ll do the same thing that I did to that guy at the track when I threw him from the grandstand to his death (it really happened. Don’t take Chinaski’s seat at the track!)!

I think Anthony knows he can’t win his lawsuit. I think he’s just trying to make life hard for David Duchovny, someone he doesn’t respect.

I think it’s a bit rich that Anthony Kiedis et al are suing that show when not so long ago rumour had it that Dani Californication was a direct rip off of Tom Petty’s Mary Jane’s Last Dance…Hypocrisification!!

I want a dollar from Anthony for everytime I used the word californication to make Gov.Reagan giggle long before Mr. Kleidis was even conceived.

From the title to the character ‘Dani California’ to Mia’s comment that LA is the ‘edge of Western civilization,’ the show is one big homage to the city and to the Peppers’ tenacious love for it. Written and presented in a nearly reverential tone, the show can only help advance the vibe of the RHCP, and Kiedis et. al. should realize that there’s no better form of viral marketing, and that far from detracting from the band’s popularity and/or sales, showtime’s well-crafted production will spread the Peppers’ meme like a disease.

Looks like Kiedis wants to Pepperification that word. Like who gives him the rightification to declarification his album titles and song titles off-limits? This is such nonsensification!

Now shut up and stop trying to take other peoples money. Work on your pitch instead. I saw you live and you brought the rest of the band down with your horrid singing.

Stealing a Chili Peppers title would be as bad as stealing a Tom Petty song and calling it Dani California.

exactly: words, by themselves, are not copyrightable. The Chili Peppers will never win that law suit.

You can’t copyright a word. Californication has been around for many years. Look it up on wikipedia. Aleister Crowley should rise from the dead and sue them for using “sex magik” in an album title. Jerks.

Just to echo Dennis A.’s comment, when I was living in Oregon in the late ’70s, “DON’T CALIFORNICATE OREGON” was a popular bumper sticker–referring at that time to the hordes of Cal real-estate developers rushing northward to build condos.

(But I disagree about whether Anthony can sing. I’m a big Peppers fan.)

Kanye who?

Frivilousication… Please, Anthony you can’t sing, or own a term that actually existed before your record did..

Californication actually comes from Oregon and the migration of Californians into thier lovely state.. me being one of them.

shut up, Anthony. Go home and get some vocal lesseson.

david duchovny needs to be paid by chili peppers for christening the californication issue with a toast brand of band to be or not to be. In other words californication is not a name it is an idea which can not be copywrighted by anyone just because.. It would be like copywrighting with, why, when, fornication, cotis.. if they can do this.. then i can copywright fuck and sue everyone who ever uses it again in any way shape or form in print or better yet speech! I’d become a billionare within a week quad-trillionare in a month the most rich person in the entire world.. in a year, buy all the oil and give it up to the US, black-balling chavez from ever buying a gallon of gas again & thank forever the red hot chili peppers & davis duchovny for the idea that brought to the world a new and unusual format for the development of world peace. thank you! thank you! all!

So the Chili Peppers have already completed their signature album, song and video. I guess that means we don’t have to pay attention to them anymore since everything after Californication is just filler.

What’s funny is that the term californication was used back in ‘92 by the Rheostatics in the song California Dreamline. Looks like their identity is all that original, kinda like the opening riff to Dani California.

So wait, did the Peppers just happen to turn the TV on one day and realize this? Like, how long has this show been on AND been in production? Even if there’s merit to the suit, why has it taken this long? And I’d say “Bloodsugar” is their “signature” release. But that’s just me.
