sykilz Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 You know what, it's very reminiscent of Californication to my ears, but I quite like it, great to see John playing again and he has THAT guitar tone going on still. Nice work by Flea as usual, looks like he's playing the jazz in the video. Much better than I'd feared !!!! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It's inoffensive, yes, but I like more than that in music and there's not really anything else there which will make me want to listen to it again or buy the CD. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) I love the band to pieces, but I find this pretty bland. It's very 'singy' and in the style they went to around Stadium Arcadium. I want rapping, slap bass and some funk, damn it! P.s - It seems Anthony has modelled his voice on Hagrid in parts of this song.

Supernaut Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Hmm... I'm a long time Chili Peppers fan. Great to see John back in the band and he just adds that little something that Josh never did. If someone told me this was a Californication / By The Way era B side, I would probably believe them.

Fully agree. Nice song that could easily be a Californication B-side. Great to have John back though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I really like it. But the transition from the early funk rock band to the later more song-orientated one is something that never bothered me. Venice Queen is my favourite CPs song, as much as I love the early stuff; not much funk or rap in that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think inoffensive hits the nail on the head. I'm not a massive chillies fan, but this seems to just plod along nicely and wouldn't make me go out and seek more if it was my first exposure to them. Does Kiedis look a bit Chuck Norris there? Edited February 4, 2022 by Jonesy fat fingers - typo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I’m not a huge fan of the band, I like certain of their songs. I do like Flea though. This sounds a typical RFCP song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Love unlimited or whatever it’s called is another double album… I don’t hold out huge hopes If this is the lead single: but I’ve listened three times. It may grow on me. Edited February 4, 2022 by AndyTravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Not bad, unfortunately the guitarists lead playing has not improved, his lead work has always sounded disjointed to me with lots of inaccurate string bends.👎 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His playing is just on another level to anyone. IMO. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by what I say, his rhythm playing is great, unfortunately in my mind, his lead playing is not. Each to their own, we can’t all think everyone is great. Now, where’s my rosette.

sykilz Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Think I read somewhere the album is in the 'style' of Stadium Arcadium. Personally I quite like that era, obviously it won't be for all and they are probably never going to do another Uplift Mofo Party Plan style album. After the last few years I'm just glad a lot of the bands I liked as a 'youngster' are still out there playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his style, man! One of the most iconic styles ever recorded. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) It's odd as a lead single. Their lead singes on every record I can remember have far more energy to it than this. Makes me a tad concerned about the album. Certainly agree it has Californication B Side vibes, which was Frusciante's first album back last time as well.
