Not sure about Tony's pirate style vocals, but loving John's work and overall, what a belter
(guitar is dead my arse)
Pretty standard song really, not very interesting (neither is the vid) and vocals aren't great imo.
Not bad though! Good time for a new RHCP song.
Much prefer it to the new Liam Gallagher single
Ian
Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
It's a good safe Chill Peppers song similar to Desecration Smile maybe. Allegedly lyric is about Anthony's father dying last year.
AMAZING to hear some Frusciante "fuzz" again. (It's probably a DS2 really though isn't it?). He really is going to rip those solos live.
Anyone have any idea what Strat he is playing in the video?
The song is... nice. I liked it there on first hearing and I think it will only grow better. Kiedis's vocal is weird. I really hope the album has some uptempo stuff and doesn't all sound exactly like this.
But.... it's Frusciante. I'm not into hippy-dippy shit but there's something otherworldly about the guy. He has an aura.
This song is fine but I think it’s a grower very glad to see the proper band back making music
Personally I prefer the funkier, harder-edged material which dominated up to One Hot Minute and gave Flea the reputation of the most badass bass player in the world. This is inoffensive enough, but hardly a patch on their late 80s-mid 90s peak.
I often think if they'd had someone like Chris Cornell or Layne Staley on vocals they would probably have been the best band of all time.
But then again their two biggest hits and eras - Under the Bridge and Californication are his ideas and concepts.
The new single is fine. It is safe and catchy and it has a great Frusciante solo. And it has space for him to rip whenever they start playing it live.
I think in the early days where they were still a bit more "rap metal" his vocals suited them perfectly which is why Blood Sugar Sex Magik is the all time classic that it is.
As they've gone more towards proper songs he's suited them less and less.
I cannot recommend getting a DS-2 enough.
The turbo mode really does get you that sound. It's like the fuzz sound you always wanted except it's not actually a fuzz.
