Summary

By The Way (2002) is a brilliant album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But at nearly 70 minutes in duration, could it have been even better with some careful pruning?

That’s the task podcast hosts Stephen & Paul, plus their guest Ross Braidwood, have set themselves in this episode: Create the under 50 minute TTMF Supercut of By The Way.

On the way the guys will discuss their level of fandom for the band, review the critical reception and commercial success of the album, share their favorite songs and least favorite track from the record, and discuss the impact of guitarist John Frusciante on the album's sound.

They also discuss the best time for the band to retire and whether they are happy that the band is still active. The conversation ends with a discussion about the top Red Hot Chili Peppers songs of all time.
