I'm the opposite, absolutely love his solo albums but not fond of the Chilis at all these days, a couple of songs here and there aside. Admittedly The Empyrean wasn't his strongest effort, but I'd take Curtains, The Will To Death, Niandra LaDes or the Ataxia albums over anything of the Chilis any day. I'm glad he's focussing on his solo stuff properly now.
I wonder whether RHCP will bother getting back together from their hiatus now.
