Either you love them or hate them.. but either way, you have to give credit when credit is due. This band has never been one to bullshit and they would not do anything that they really didn't enjoy or like. Red Hot Chili Peppers are an iconic band already but they keep coming back with a strong album time and time again. Anthony Kiedis is another person who I think has a great voice and his sound is so distinctive; Flea is one of best bassists ever (& energetic) and Chad Smith is so much fun to watch on drums. Now this time around they have a new guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer who the band met through the previous guitarist, John Frusciante. John has to be one of the best guitarists out there.. something about him, watching him play - just real, real cool. However, he decided not to continue and left the band right before they started working on this upcoming new album, I'm With You, and thats when the guys invited Josh to join them.
These guys are continuing to break records with top charting songs. 'The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie' is their twelfth #1 single. After almost 30 years, these are still rocking out and just want to grow and continue to do better and this album supposedly is just that - just new stuff, new ideas, a continuation of growth as a band. It's exciting to hear artists so excited about their work-makes us listeners even more eager to grab that album.. so don't forget on August 30th to go buy that!
Here is the first video (to accompany the first single) which was shot in Malibu... just a real chill fun video.
