    I dont like the RHCP but I like the song. Gets even close to WWS even though I love PJ and dont like the Peppers, but hey, it's just 2 songs. I'll definitely buy Avocado but I wont buy Stadium Arcadium.

    Ill be buying both albums, yeah the Chili's are sounding like BSSM again but as the saying goes, if it aint broke dont fix it... and to my ears it aint broke and they're sounding rocking as ever.

    Yeh im a Peppers fan too, but i can't get into this tune at all. I'm sure the album will have much better songs though.

    I'm a big Peppers fan and I think this is the best song they've done in a long time. It has so much energy to it and the chorus rocks. I like all their albums, but I think this song is better than anything on By the Way.

    I wouldnt go that far, i think the new album as a whole will be better than By The Way but damn there were some awesome songs on that album.
    I think By The Way lost alot of their fans because they took a bit of a different route. I admit it did take me a couple listens to get into it but im glad i did cause i love it.

    Agreed.

    I love it. They make upbeat, funky, melodic soulful summery music. No crime in that.

    Ever since hearing 'Scar Tissue' in my 15th summer I've loved this band.

    RHCP... really really great and relevant band....till 1999...Californication was a soft, By The Way was a HUGE sellout... the latter is really terrible compared to everything they ever did... They are a bit tiring now...and Kiedis' voice sounds terrible on concerts... What a pity....They are not pearl Jam:((

    If there is one thing the Chili's are not about it is repeating themselves and I really don't think this song sounds like they are just dusting off something from there existing catalogue. Each album goes in a new direction. What song do you think it sounds like?

    On another note, I really hope this record in better than "By the Way" (they may go in a different direction each album but that doesn't mean I have to like it :))
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    I think Dani California sounds like a natural progression. It combines the melodic sound of By the Way with the funkiness of earlier Peppers. I love the combination of styles. The Chili Peppers are still a very relevant band. By the Way was in no way a sellout. It went in a completely different direction, one that fans did not expect. That is not selling out, it's challenging your audience. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it was selling out. It's a great record with some of the strongest songwriting of their career. That said, I'm glad the funk seems to be back on this one and I'm very glad Frusciante is finally cutting loose on the guitar solos.

    I could not agree more. Spot on.

    The new album will be ace because John is a legend.

    Their last great album was BSSM, and their last standable album was Californication. They went to shit with BTW, and I'm not expecting anything better with the new record. They make the same song 10,000 times over, and it's all beginning to sound like crap.

    people in this forum really need to learn the three words "in my opinion." It really bugs me when people state opinion as fact.

    I like it. the verses are nothing special but the chorus is catchy
