I just don't understand it.
First can I explain how I got into the Chili Peppers so you can understand my viewpoint. I was 15 and pretty new to music. I was sitting in my youth wing when all of a sudden this beautiful song came on. I'd never heard anything that soundede so simultaniously beautiful, melancholic and uplifting. This song was Scar Tissue by a band called the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I have loved them ever since. To me from that point onwards they've gone from strength to strength. By The Way is still such a beautiful listen to me. Just last night I sat with it blasting out on headphones, 'Dosed', 'Dont Forget Me', 'Minor Thing', all to me superb songs.
And now Dani California, a wicked tune. Laid back funky verses combined with that rocking chorus, its fucking ace and sounds like summer. I guess thats the way I've always viewed the Chilis. Uplifting soulful and summery.
The minute RHCP started writing great pure uplifting soulful pop songs (Californication) everyone starts moaning and clutching their copies of the TRULY overated Mother's Milk and declaring sellouts. Bollocks to that.
