Frusciante's sound is so distinctive, that you don't even have too watch him play to know that it is actually him. Guitar legend.

[@FlikkieFloekieFlakkie]

Exactly! His guitar is merely a tool for his soul to have its own voice which is unique. If you're interested there is this lady with her Clarinet. Same idea but different genre. Doreen Ketchens - Performance with Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. You will not regret the search, otherwise I'll owe you a beer. She channels her soul through her instrument like Frusciante does.

Well their style is so different thanks to Frusc making them melodic and soulful. The freak funk thing wasn't going to last forever. And the only one that surprises me is Keidis.

@@DoItForU The expression of being is always same in its context, that what differs is the expression itself, and that is art, this is life. Do you expect a rose to be not a rose, even though coming to see a rose garden? Well here you are, to experience, see, listen and taste who RHCP are. They are who they have always been, more refined, cultivated, each going through different phases in life, experiencing so much without losing touch to who they are as a band and as an individual. The same goes for everything in life, if you expect life to be different than what it is, then you do not understand its essence. Evolution and development are all about refinement of what is already there, of the potential and its base. I am very happy to absorb the vibes, I never truly focus on lyrics, but what is expressed by the music itself. The tone, the frequency, all of the non verbal and verbal information that are distant from semantics. I focus on the paralinguistic aspects, which give me hints about the feelings, the deeper thoughts and the context in a way that language can't truly grasp without losing touch of the dignified presence of what we sense.

Not a bad opening track, for sure. Of course my favorite part is Frusciante's brilliant guitar playing. No offense to Klinghoffer or any former chili guitarist but Frusciante can't be matched. It doesn't feel like the Chili Peppers without him. Although I did enjoy them playing One Hot Minute material with Klinghoffer. That's not coming back, I wonder if they'll even play any of their catalog from their time with Klinghoffer.

[@michakowalski2930]

@@cjfernandez9089 probably not, in the red hot chili peppers book they released before john left in 2009, there were interviews and John said that he NEVER listened to OHM as it would be like listening to his girlfriend being fucked by other guy. : D You think with their catalogue he will respect klinghoffer guitar work, I say no chance and honestly (with some minor exception) not a huge loss.

[@nathanielparker6259]

I personally enjoyed the Slovak lineup better. Frusciante is amazing, don't get me wrong, but hillel had such an aggressive and creative approach to his playing. The freaky Styley album is my absolute favorite album ever. Hillels playing blows me away everytime, just the whammy bar control, that right hand is absolutely flying on some of those, and it's just so different to anything else.

[@SkaMasta097]

Honestly, there’s nothing special to Chad’s playing. He’s playing the same thing that he’s been playing for the last 25 years. I like this song and this new cycle for the Peppers, but in a way, it feels like this song makes the Pepper’s strengths and weaknesses both very apparent. Frusciante and Flea definitely carry this song. Frusciante brought his classic tone and beautiful playing style back to the band, along with those great backing vocals. Chad’s drum phrasing is very generic and boring. Not very creative from a drumming standpoint. Anthony sounds great in the chorus of this tune, but man, whatever he’s doing in the beginning of this song just doesn’t really sound right. I don’t know. That’s just my take. Mostly just bored of Chad’s complacency.

[@Lunaria.Praesentia]

@@tylerarmentrout4487 yeah I get what you mean, but I was not remarking Chad's "creativity", just the fact that the drums sound a lot more like they used to before "the getaway", classic Chad and I prefer it that way, overall the song is beautiful, nothing GROUND BREAKING, but I personally got lost on Tony's sweet voice and as always the extreme groove of John, I'm really curious for the rest of the album
