Who can honestly say that they don’t like at least some part of the Chili Peppers career. At my younger days I was a bigger fan of the guys than I am now, but I’ll always call myself a fan. My expectations hit the floor when I found out that guitarist and longtime member John Frusciante left the band.
We have our first look at new single “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie” and new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. I expected to be underwhelmed with this era of the Chili Peppers but this single is leagues better than I expected.
It still sounds very much like the Red Hot I remember, which is a good or a bad thing, depending how you feel about them at this point. Truth be told, they sound like they still got it. I’m pleasantly surprised with how much I’m liking this new song:

I would never know that the guitarist left – but now that I read that, I feel like I can pick up on slight style differences (totally in my head though lol) Maybe it’s a different pace than I’m used to – not quite fast, not quite slow. Idk. I have a love hate relationship with RHCP. The songs I love, I LOVE, the ones that I hate, I really hate… You know the drill. This sounds pretty good though, if it were on the radio I would stick around for it!

I’m a huge fan, but it sounds like a B – side. 6,5/10
