Nah Mr Fruciante doesn't indulge in the 'finer' aspects of life anymore... He even abstains from sex. Think he was just over it, fair enough, quit while your ahead

But it was still better IMHO than the RHCP single...
I like the serious Blink 182 and I was a big fan back in the day. They have kinda grown ip and continued the +44 style of music which is one of my fav albums.

I think it's alright. It will probably grow on people but I'm not sure it's a single. I kinda like it actually. I dunno, maybe I'm being kind cos I just posted a song and yeah... Glass houses etc :lol:

Heard it, hate the verse marginally less than usual, at least there's some groove going on, but I've got my full hate on for the lame chorus, although there's some nice George Harrison-y bendy stuff in the background.

Was expecting to hate it, but actually...I don't. The chorus is alright, and the verses are kinda funky...far from their best, further from their worst.

Better than I expected it to be. But tbh, they are fully integrated into the machine now. so it is what it is. To compare it to the Chilis of old would be a sad reflection on your on yourself imo

It's catchy, a little bit funky.. it's the Chili peppers. Ill probably have a casual head nod to it the next time I hear it on the radio.

Dunno if anybody got to the end of the song, but there is some really lovely playing in the last 30 seconds or so of it.

The more I listen to it, the more I think it's a really good debut for the new fella. I like his parts the most.

RHCP without Frusciante is a different and probably lesser band.

I think Frusciante is a guitar genius. He can be quite a technical player. For example, the song Snow, while not his best, is an absolute bastard to play, sixteenth note arpeggios over C shape chords. His solos are tasteful: check out the simple yet soulful solo on I Could've Lied off Blood Sugar Sex Magic. His funk playing is totally original, sometimes using one off tunings, like Power of Equality on Blood Sugar which is played with the high e string dropped a semi-tone. He can riff like a beast: check out My Lovely Man of BSSM, with its strange timing and use of atonal notes, but at the same time melodic and arty. He throws in double-stops, unison bends, Hendrix rhythm runs, octaves, and unusual inversions of chords, often in the same song but doesn't make it look like he is showing off. Everything he has done sounds like old ideas turned inside out into something original.

He is an example of how a great musician can lift a band up several notches.

He also has some of the most expensive false teeth ever made. He spent five years at home shooting heroin attempting to paint. During that time he failed to brush his teeth, resulting in an armageddon of tooth decay. When the RHCPs reformed, he went to the dentist for the mother of all checkups.

He actually didn't have a choice about that check-up. Apparently he had caught an infection that pretty much said "Remove your teeth or die". And also you forgot to mention the title track of BSSM, love the riffs to that song
