[@GaugingGadgets]

That bass line gives me chills.

[@croci17]

It has the power to bring you back in time, to make you feel as you were a teenager listening RHCP for the first times, an action which would eventually lead you to pick up an instrument (mostly bass).

The lyrical melody of the chorus layered with John’s guitar is precisely, exactly what made the chili peppers who they are. Quintessential melody powerhouse

[@bradleylovej]

I totally agree. There are people who wish they would have stuck with Dave Navarro and that harder rock sound (although these people are in the minority, but go watch a song from one hot minute, they're everywhere in the comments). I just think Anthony is so much better with a melodic guitarist. It fits his style better, both his voice and musical sensibility.

Fantastic!

Red Hot Chili Peppers i'm glad you're back!
