rocknroll41 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 The new song “Eddie” is really good. Surprised it wasn’t on Unlimited Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I loved that the solo has some parts of their jam fans named "Don't You Ever Leave" that they used to play as an extension of Throw Away Your Television during 2003-2007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 So happy to hear a guitar-forward song - this is what I wanted when the reunion was announced. Unlimited Love was good, but didn't scratch this itch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with a feedbacky sustained note Waaaaaaaaooooouuuuurggggghhh Then some fast stuff Bibidibidinidibididinidibibibididudii Back to feedback in a different spot Neeeeeooouuuurggghhjjjj Then a bit of a melodic part doh doh doh di di di Dum dum dum Then back to feedback with fast stuff Waaaoooneeeooorrgghhuuuuuoooodibibibididibibidididodidibibidudibibo - then go up an octave - ziminimiininizizinimimizinimzini Finish with the whammy bar Wowoowwowowwowwwooooo Play it with your mouth open and eyes closed and there you go! Don't spare the wah pedal either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) He has always fallen back on the same pentatonic licks and noodling during improvised solos, and I say that as a fan who is hugely influenced by his playing (although mostly by his rhythm playing). But to be fair, most guitarists who mainly stick to the pentatonic scale have certain licks that they always fall back on during improvs. Some players are more original while some are more repetitive, but there are only so many ways to go when you stick to the pentatonic scale for the most part.

True, but as you said, there's only so much one can do that sounds cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Good, but I prefer Tippa My Tongue, hands down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Eddie is competing for best song of the era for me so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 For me the best songs of this new era is still Here Ever After, but I’m liking a lot of these other songs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Eddie is the best one since Stadium Arcadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Yea, Eddie is awesome. Definitely better than Tippa My Tongue, but I prefer the chill/mellow RHCP songs. Can't wait to hear this album in a couple weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Bummed with the choices for the Sirius XM videos, hope more are coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Also, I think John can't sing like he used to :/ I noticed this 1) on the album 2) at the show I went to 3) in The Heavy Wing performance from the Apollo. Makes sense as the guy wasn't doing any vocals for basically 10 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The album is out. It seems that a lot of people got their vinyl/cd today. I saw 10+ pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) It leaked. Just finished it. First 7 songs and the Japanese track are all amazing, but everything else is so shit that it makes UL look like a masterpiece by comparison. This is easily their worst album since Freaky Styley. EDIT: listened to it again. it’s growing on me now. Edited October 8, 2022 by rocknroll41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there are no California mentions in it. Oh what a bummer, I really like Tippa and Eddie so I had high hopes for the rest. UL was very polarizing (I really like it) so hopefully I enjoy this album just as much. 7 amazing songs on one album is nothing to sneeze at! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I don't fully agree that it's 7 songs plus bonus tracks that are good but the middle is noticeably weaker than the rest of the album (and UL) I like that there were several songs that RHCP never did, like In The Snow or My Cigarette All in all, it's enjoyable. If you put the best songs from those 2 albums you'd get a great RHCP record - similar level to BTW. The rest of the songs could've been bsides. This way with 2 full albums there are some duds. I'm not bothered with it, I would like if every band released (almost) everything they record 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) I tried combining UL and RotDC together but RotDC is growing on me more and more now, so it’s getting too hard to do so. Edited October 8, 2022 by rocknroll41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is easily their worst album since Freaky Styley. I wasn't sure what to expect from this album but after one listen, it might be better than Unlimited Love. It feels more consistent. It does take a weird turn in the middle but it's interesting - definitely gonna have to listen a few more times to really have an opinion. Fake As Fuck was the highlight but The Drummer and Carry Me Home were standouts too. My Cigarette was really unexpected but it's a cool to hear them try something like that. In The Snow was interesting, had a kind of chill Death Of A Martian vibe at times with the spoken parts. I like it but it's not a great album-closer. The Shape I'm Takin' is too good to be a bonus track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
