ezbass Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 It's OK, it's a new millennium Chili Peppers' track, it could easily be on Stadium Arcadium. Not groundbreaking, but not offensive either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damonjames Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I really like it, it is a throw back to the 2nd generation frusciante RHCP, and prefer it to the detour that "I'm with you" was. Despite "look around" I think the rest of that album is a reflection of who they were - a band trying to find themselves after a major part of the band had left. I really dig the new track, I hope the rest of the album follows suit, but agree it could do with a little more power and grit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Its certainly a grower. Hated it the first time, now I quite like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassie Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I like it, it seems to have something that lacked from the last album. The piano is an interesting addition (for them anyway) and lifts the tune. I for one am glad they're not pretending to be in their mid twenties and rehashing BSSM. Nothing worse than old blokes (and let's not forget three of them are knocking on the door of 60) trying to be young and controversial. The one reason I can't even bear to look at Mick Jagger is that he really should stop pretending he's still 21. Looking forward to a RHCP album not "produced" by Rick Rubin too.

LayDownThaFunk Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I must have heard it 10 times now. Production is excellent. Hope the album isn't as bass driven as the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmybass1978 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Love the Chillis from the old stuff to the new. Maybe not for everyone but we don't all have to like the same stuff. Theres people that love U2 for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I miss Frusciante. Perfect backing vocals and super melodic and tasteful solos are his forte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) It's OK. Not one of their classics, but even their worst track is better than a lot of the stuff that passes for "music" these days... Good grief - I've turned into my own father!! Not in the same class as these though..

joey1234 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 no need for links I know the songs haha. That was the first thought I had when I heard the tune especially the slap bit really reminds me to the point where I thought it was the same riff just slowed down.

[/quote] 'Give it away'? I don't really hear that, at all. It does remind me a bit of 'Can't stop'... It's growing on me 'though. Once I stop thinking of it as a RHCP track, I actually like it. I guess I have to accept that the old RHCP is no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 not bad, seems better than their last few which i just didnt get but then BSSM is always going to be hard to live up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You can tell the last album was written mainly by Flea or came from bass grooves. There is very little guitar riffing going on - sort of killed it for me.

Did he do this looning around in the other bands he been in as it seems to be not something he's very good at here?

Beedster Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Not their best by some way but still a whole lot better than most, and I prefer a world in which the chilis are making music to one in which they're not. OK, they're not the most talented musicians or the best songwriters, but something about them has consistently resonated with me in a way few other bands have in the 40 odd years in which I've been consciously listening to music. I'm biased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer combo! I felt she was treading water a bit with the Uh-Huh-Her album and line up. (which Josh was in) Good but not great. She's really found herself again with the last two albums IMO. Sorry for the diversion there...😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post a profound argument in favour of the individual and their freedom of opinion and taste, bit ultimately, I can't be arsed. You don't like Red Hot Chili Peppers, I can't stand the Rolling Stones. CLICHÉ ALERT! "It would be a boring world if we all liked the same things."
