I absolutely loved this single. It's funky and the recording manages to get across how confident they're feeling right now. I saw them live in Toronto last week and you can tell they are locked in. I'm not sure Anthony has ever sung better than on this tour to be honest.

[@Zappappappappa]

Went to the show here in Detroit earlier this month which is the second time seeing them live (2014 was the first with Klinghoffer on guitar) and it was without a doubt one of the most entertaining and emotionally engaging performances I've ever witnessed musically while being significantly better than the first time seeing them live. I have been a huge fan ever since I started listening (26 years old and became a fan when I turned 8) but I felt so extremely privileged and downright lucky to be handed the opportunity to witness one of the first guitar players I was ever obsessed with and one who was essential to my development over my nineteen years of playing guitar while still utilizing a lot of the subtleties Frusciante is known for. I am so glad to have bought tickets for the show and their musical chemistry is something all musicians should witness live, my fiancee is a fan (not familiar with their live improvisation abilities going into the concert) but even she was absolutely blown away by Chad, Flea, and John's ability and chemistry when performing live together with all of the really spontaneous jamming before, during, and between all nineteen songs they played that night. I'm lucky she didn't think that I was being a complete cornball when I started to get emotional when John was playing an extended solo during "Don't Forget Me" as I never thought I'd ever be able to see the true chili peppers with one of the most personally influential guitarists in my lifetime and it is still rather emotional to me in retrospect. Chad and Flea are as tight rhythmically as they have ever been and John is getting more comfortable and into his groove with each successive performance (thankful the Detroit show was in the middle of the tour so John had time to shake off most of the rust from not playing guitar live for over a decade.)

And don't even get me started on his riff craft, wich is inexistent. And u call that lucky junkie a god? Be honest and tell u like him so much, and end it being real.

[@cauldronofburgers]

RHCP has a funny way of using the simpler songs for singles. They did that with Unlimited Love this year. The singles they used were incredible but also the weakest material on the album (which says a lot about how good the album was). I have a feeling the rest of this record is going to be the same! John takes a lot of influence from hardcore punk and glam/ prog rock so the less is more approach has been super prominent on his contributions especially in the 2000’s.

It's souless, Justin. Big Chillis fan here. Have been since 92'. Watched them live three times. I teach loads of Flea lines on my channel. The Chillis of old are very different to the modern version. Everythings very clean. Lacking attitude. Lacking soul. Its been this way and gone downhill since Californication. Chillis of old were in your face, loud and aggresive. Live is a different matter. They're still damn fine to watch live, which is refreshing. But studio - wise? Nah, its all a bit Vanilla for me. Is it because they older? Maybe. Stopped doing drugs? Dunno. But again, they are now very very different. Myself, like other older Chillis fans recognise that its almost like two bands. The one of old, and the one of now.

Hey Justin, I love your videos, you are always very respectful to other artists wether you like them or not. I'm a HUGE red hot fan (asterisk tattoo and all haha) and I honestly think that the Red Hot reached their peak with Californication, which carried on to By the way and Stadium Arcadium but everything else from there has just been music "strictly for their fan base" if that makes any sense. Like we all know there is not going to be another By the Way or Dani California, songs that are so ground breaking, but they are playing safe. Which is not bad, in fact it makes sense and is perfect because that way they are still making music. However it can be frustrating for people who are not fans, but more casual to them. I really like their last album Unlimited Love and it had amazing songs and I have high hopes with this new one. One thing to note, perhaps these new albums are not their bests, but they are putting a BRUTAL live show.

Hi Justin. I'm not sure where I can find the super thanks question bit but.......... Super thanks for being such a wholesome guy. You always seem to have a great way to look at things. I bet you are a great guy to know. Thanks for the channel and the music. Keep on being awesome!!!!

[@skipdonaghue9451]

John's back! Look, everybody! It's John! He's back! John's back! Have you seen John? He's back again! Good old John! He definitely won't fuck off on us again!

[@sharifelmahdi9385]

They are great musicians. I really loved These Are The Ways from the record released in April. It hurts me to say it: Most of Unlimited Love and this feels to me like they are playing it safe. It's always about expectations, isn't it? When RHCP said John is back I expected a lot. Maybe too much?

[@BrandonShere]

Honestly I felt the same way at first. You just haven't listened to it enough :P My uncle played it in the car, and did a great job at making me aware there is so much more going on than I initially had thoughts. A lot of the beginnings of the songs don't keep me that entertained, but I later realized that the reason is because they're all building. John goes insane structurally in the majority of the songs. You're bound to be blown away in the second half of the songs by either insane builds, bridges, harmonies, etc! Most great music doesn't sound that great to us the first time because our brains have to process it first. Because it's so different. They tend to have that effect with every album really, then it hits you the more you listen.

[@EricNeuls]

That simple second piece that you pointed out after the fun part you like feels like call back to their song Funky Monks I think. Just the way it sounds sort of.

[@iliketrains3495]

Not totally all over this song, but it's solid enough. Not sure how yet another double album is gonna turn out given I thought Unlimited Love was a little bloated, but I guess the fact they've been so productive since Frusciante returned proves that he is the rightful guitarist of the band. Even if I thought The Getaway was better than Unlimited Love.

[@quensoueu1]

I think they lacked in the lyrics department, not a single song makes sense or shares any meaning. But I can totally see your point.

[@BuzzbyBakes]

Channeling your inner David Niven in this video! I've been binging you for three days now - great stuff. I'm so impressed by your knowledge of music theory and the way you can pick up a tune or riff and play it back just like that. Most of all though, you just seem like a lovely guy that makes me chuckle! Cheers Jo

[@Bobby_sprinkles]

Always wondered what RHCP's would sound like with a different vocalist. AK is always the stumbling block between me liking or disliking their songs.

[@fatfreddiescat9952]

“Dream canteen” we used these at festivals. Basically any found drugs left laying around were stuck in a teapot and shared out on the last day. Looks like the peppers are going back to the early albums and that I can get into.

[@foxman4455]

Tippa My Tongue is not a good song. It sounds like an AI learned all of RHCP's song and just farted something out. And i'm crazy about RHCP.

[@Limettengrün]

you two geniuses, i mean John and you, should jam someday together! the univers tells me that would be f****** inspiring

The live version of that @ Slane Castle is one of the greatest performances, by anyone, of all time, in my humble opinion…great shout!

[@matred3538]

Even though I thought I knew what was coming, you still surprised me a bit with the intro. I guess that's the capability of a great musician. Always very enjoyable videos. Many thanks. 😀

[@domizidor]

I think, with Josh Klinghoffer they moved forward with hole sound and approach, especially on last album with him. It surprised me a bit, because I didnt expect much from them.With Frusciante back, it looks like they decide to do "old vibe" or how to call it. Not so hyped about this song. Nice groove, but a bit empty too my ears.

[@antonimihailov8046]

I absolutely agree that Klinghoffer and Danger Mouse gave them a fresh vibe, which has been lost.

[@domizidor]

@@antonimihailov8046 And Im saying that as a fan of Frusciante. Part of that could be also Rick Rubin back as producer. Funny thing is that, as far as I know, it was Frusciante back in the day, who was frustrated about making each record with Rubin and wanted someone else. But also, they grew up together and wrote ton of hits (john and the band). Not so surprised they took him back once he wanted. But Josh did a great job! And boy, imagine that presure, being part of such famous band. He did more than good.

[@iliketrains3495]

Yeah I love the Getaway, my third favourite after Cali and BTW

[@astridxr]

Maybe the solution to this Frusciante thing is for you to listen/discuss/react to Red Hot Chilli Peppers with Dave Navarro on guitar in One hot minute. And from there you discuss Jane's Addiction :)

[@MW-zh9zl]

Great suggestion

[@Rgdonaire_07]

I love one hot minute. It’s just a brilliant record. I’m on the minority here though.

[@steve10]

In not a fan of the RHCP , but I quite enjoyed this song , very funky and cool sound I really enjoy these reaction videos, they often highlight genres I'm not into or a look back at songs I like. As it went on I really enjoyed this song, Justin wasn't 100% on the song , but I liked it

[@darrenmcmackin330]

Love when you work out the guitar parts. You're a great musician man.

[@gabjam]

Justin's breakdown of music makes me feel like a better musician with every video I watch, even though as a drummer my music skills extend to hiding in the background with sticks like a lurking Neanderthal. But now I can be a lurking Neanderthal who's becoming more musically evolved with every video.

[@mikehall6608]

That riff is basically Stargazer by Rainbow + some arbitrary blues run

[@DeanWuksta]

I'm a luke warm fan of the peppers, but I really like the sound of this, the drum mix is smoother then usual, normally he uses a high tuned cracking snare, much more warmth equed into this one, lower tuned, and restrained, kick, toms, sweet, and there's some lovely finessing goin on with his playing, marrys really nicely with Flea's bass, funky ass rhythm section, sound similar to previously released stuff, but I was head boppin to this, 2 thumbs up

[@hareubanghodling]

I've been listening to RHCP for decades. Luv them.

[@Curt.dammit]

The way you play that riff makes me think of a Canned Heat song.

[@lorenmorgan1931]

This song is totally the band with Frusciante. That last album sounded like carpet remnants stitched together. Awesome dissection of it Justin!

[@ThatGuyThanus]

😂

[@lasagnahog7695]

I used to love the Chili Peppers but not so much anymore. I still like their stuff that was current when I listened and older but I never turn it on anymore. This new stuff doesn't do it for me for what it's worth. It's hard to tell though if they've changed or I have, it's probably a bit of both. Anyway, hooray for channel engagement and thanks for another great video.

[@erokraider1690]

How you pick this stuff out so effortlessly is impressive.

[@lozo2331]

he's got it a little off pretty sure that's a g7 at the end

[@shannonpincombe8485]

This RHCP track reminds me of Aeroplane.

[@RockSchooled]

Three amazing musicians. And Anthony Kiedis.

[@chriswinter8511]

People hate on Keidis, however, he's a very very good frontman, there have many many better singers of bands, and most of them last a couple albums. RHCP songs are propped up by John, Flea and Chad musically but the performance is equally propped up by Keidis

[@Worldwideguy96]

Anthony's phrasing is amazing. How can you not heat this?

[@THISmusicGUY]

I love his singing

[@fishingrod11]

Love that every 5 or 6 videos, there's a Cameo Word Up reference. I guess when you hear the call, you really do got to get it underway.

[@demarcdegasol]

Just saw them play the day after they released this track. Gotta be a top 5 band in the world currently.

Top 5 least creative, most formulaic bands maybe.

[@GhostlyGrimoire]

I havent listened to any new RHCP since Dani California but I have to say I really enjoyed their older stuff. New music hasn't gripped me.

[@demarcdegasol]

Dani California is so terrible. One of their worst songs easily

[@honved1]

If you’re not into Frusciante, try the Hillel Slovak stuff. As much as I love Frusciante, there’s something about the Hillel era that seems more fun. After he died there was a sadness (understandably) that made them more serious.

[@superduperman7202]

The worked out a formula for californication and never changed a song from that since. Dull as hell this many years into it.

[@TheStarBlack]

Thats demonstrably not the case. Listen to any of the last five albums they've released and tell me how and why most of the songs sound like californication.

[@robertcastaneda5254]

Funny a common thought is why don’t bands sound like they used to? Luckily time is held in a capsule whether it be a CD or streaming playlist while the band grows. In consideration with their age, we can see what they were and are capable of.

[@eily_b]

I was a fan from the late 80s to the early 90s. Finally saw them in 92 or so. Shortly after (during that tour) Frusciante left and I lost all interest in them. They have done the same song ever since in different variations. I like that they got funkier again and ditched that lalalalalala pop songs. I am going to give this new album a listen. They could speed up a bit for my taste to prevent it again sounding like some pop song.

[@essghee149]

You should really try OHM. Best thing they’ve done alongside BSSM.

[@catman6257]

Went off RHCP when they treated klinghoffer like a piece of shite after John decided his career needed a boost by rejoining AGAIN !!

[@georgepanathas2009]

Whatever people say californication is the best album from the time it was released. Truly masterpiece nobody cant find something bad on this album except for get on top track. Now the problem is kiedis' voice frusciante must be the singer too imo

I love you for the Cameo reference. Even if it means I'll be singing it in my head for the next month 😂 There could be worse songs up there.

[@jthompson5341]

Hey Justin, it's "less edgy", because they're all about 60 and are rich and complacent(for the most part). If You want edgy, listen to their best album(by far), "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan"! That's when they were young, hungry, and playing with a phenomenal guitar player(and fantastic drummer). I'm going to throw on "Love Trilogy" after this, a killer tune.

[@EduFirenze]

Agree 100% they're past their point to prove something to the world. It's hard to have an edge at 60 when they survived drug abuse and are now millionaires

[@one_with_kevrything9825]

Dave Mustaine seems to be doing a good job of it. But, then again, RHCP are no Megadeth.

[@45ounce]

Love trilogy is full of hunger that they’ll never reproduce. That song has balls

[@jackgarland28]

What are you on about? How are they complacent? Have you seen any of their live performances from this year? They still have as much energy as they ever did. And to infer that john frusciante isn't an amazing guitarist is just lying to yourself

[@HTRism]

Lol

[@bouzoukiman5000]

I saw them for free about a month ago. They were great but i didn't know 90% of their songs. My bad cuz everyone else did but i was into them in the late 80's and early 90's
