i reckon it was an accurate review. even put next to a more recent song that didn't represent their best work like 'By The Way', this song is still pretty unimaginative. RHCP have always had the uncanny ability to write a song which both had appeal and could stick in your head for ages, but I actually have to play this song to even remember what it sounds like, and by the time i do i'm sorry.

I'm sorry if that hurts their feelings.

this was a considered critique of an incredibly shit, half-assed single that, if another, lesser-known band, had released, would've got them nowhere.
i'm sorry that it riled you but the first rule of journalism is: be honest. that's all i did.
i'm pretty sure it wont hurt the band and their mammoth bank accounts.

innit... Not great, but its ok i suppose. Listenable.

actually, i think the review is rather accurate. red hot chili peppers seem to be using this song as a test, to see whether their fans are going to accept this 'new direction' that they're going in. although, to be honest, it doesn't sound any different to their normal stuff - by normal stuff, i mean ofcourse the songs on the albums that are typically forgotten in the midst of much better songs.

i'm not saying it's a bad song, it's just that they can do a lot better.

I really do agree with the review... I like the Chilis because they're always a fun band that rocks! But when I listened to this one I thought "WTF, how can this guys release this shit-lame-ass-song as the first single to a double album?".
Been listening to an "advance" of the album and I can tell you there are a lot of better songs to choose from... I'd go as far as saying this is the worst song on the record... Which makes it even harder to understand...

hehe

'you (a credible music writer) have no insight'

'i (a fan) have insight'

so you're in the inner chillis circle ring of cool, and he's not.

"weak insults....man, i think thats lame"

..i could go on...

how much of themselves they put into this record as I didn't make it myself. There are many bands who put real effort and strive to make good music, but that alone should not automatically entitle them to a good review - well, it's music, not a charity is it? On the other hand, there are many people who may not care about music so much but perhaps about some other things - but when something sells, it sells, when people like it, they like it. Your fave band may be your heroes, but they are almost always pressurised to sell - and if you are massive, then you also become complacent about your music too. You know what I mean?
BUT despite all this, there have been some moments of miracles where musicians did strive and make good music and that got the review and sales it deserved......
I live in hope :) I'm not a fan of RHC but just wanted to butt in.

FUCKING RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS FANS EVERYWHERE.
DO US A FAVOUR DiS AND REVOKE THEIR MEMBERSHIPS NOW.

RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS FANS EVERYWHERE.

REVOKE THEIR MEMBERSHIPS.

I would like to join in and pile as many weak insults upon this band as possible. I never believed that they could water themselves down any more yet here they are, peddling painfully bland ear dribble one more time. I wish they would just give up and sit pretty in their collossal mansions sipping wheatgerm smoothies talking about kicking smack.
Bleedin rubbish.

all the guitar work in this song reminds me of Jimi Hendrix. the song's ok. it's not really anything to hate, it's just bland enough to pass you by.

It seems that all Anthony Kiedis can do now is warble things about "ka-lee-FAWN-yuh!" over some shit Page-wannabe solo from John Frusciante.

What a sad case.

that you're exactly the kind of 14 year old that goes crazy in his bedroom dancing to this shit, before being told by his mum to quiet it down and go to bed. "OMG LYK THIS IS A ROCKIN ALBUM", learn to type, philistine, and learn to string a decent argument together without resorting to "YOU LYK FUCKING SUCK DUDE".
