whoa, dude. this isn't very good at all.
it's amazing to see how much frusciante added to the band.

I didn't think it was that bad, it's a pleasant listen at the very least. It was pretty cool rhythmically, reminded me slightly
of a chilled out "Show Me Your Soul."

I really liked it. To be honest, I was quite let down on first listen but it gets better on repeat listens. Josh is no John Frusciante but I absolutely love that bluesy Eric Clapton-esque riff he comes in with on the chorus. Far from their best but not even close to their worst. At the very least, I'll check out the new album.

I bet someone that there will be mention of California in one of their songs on this album. Keidis just can't stop talking about it. I don't like their pop rock stuff, and Keidis is the downfall of their new material.

Most definitely not a RHCP classic and should not have been the lead single for this. I hope the rest of the album is better than this. It is an average song. I have only listened to it once so maybe it will grow on me.

That may be one of the worst song names I've ever seen.

This is...okay. Definitely feel some more funk undertones from their older days.

This band without Frusciante just isn't the same though. He was the heart and soul of the group, and it's no surprise they went right to shit when he left in the mid-90s and only got better when he returned.

Decent song. Nothing special.

Not groundbreaking, but still good. That guitar break was a little annoying, but other than that it sounds like Stadium Arcadium with more funk bass. The percussion's pretty cool in this - more interesting than it generally is in an RHCP song.

I can dig it.

Love love love the new song! (Even if Frusciante is my favourite musician!)
Josh was a little too quiet in the mix guitarwise and backing vocal wise however his layers of subtle but cool guitar work is really awesome an impressive.

Absolutely dying to hear the new record!

Except this isn't one of his better performances, he falls flat in quite a few places.
I think the song needed to be mixed a little better, it's a bit of a mess in that regard. Guitar work is fine though, Josh has potential, and the overall feel of the song was enjoyable. It's ultimately a good b-side, not a lead single, and I want to hear the latter before I hear more of the former.

um no offense but i think i know what i'm talking about, i've analyzed the performance closely and he hits every note. kiedis is probably the most naturally gifted vocalist of the past 30 years and raindance maggie is yet another feather in his cap

Spot on. However, because I don't see how this will fit into an album, I'm assuming that we're going to have another Stadium Arcadium on our hands with all these different sounds and energies. I loved Arcadium, but anything too similar would just be a fucking two out of five.

i actually really dug the groove here. it doesn't have that one awesome hook that all the great Chili Peppers songs do, but it's still really enjoyable. and honestly, if they sacrificed some of those hooks for a really focused, cohesive album (something they still have yet to accomplish), i'd be totally fine with that. here's to hoping they can do it!
