Isn't amazing that after so many years they keep their essence intact?. This is not easy to do considering today's music market and trends. Thank you guys for being honest and keeping the soul of the band alive and how is supposed to be. We were expecting this and you guys deliver it.

John: "It's my first song back with the band, really gotta bring my A game so everyone knows I'm taking this seriously!"

Anthony: "Think I'll do a pirate voice on this one."

[buzzfunk]

That classic RHCP sound. Gotta love these guys.

[BertieJasokie]

Listening to this song 2 years later, it feels like I heard it 15 years ago on an old MP3 player, but at the same time, it feels like it just came out last week. At 33, I realize that these artists have been a significant part of my life for more than half of it already. Time seems to be passing quickly lately

[leokimvideo]

My God, this is like being in a timewarp to much happier times. RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS ARE BACK

[Andi____]

Flea is the energy, John is the soul, Anthony is the voice and Chad is the beating heart.
*Red Hot Chili Peppers 4ever*

John's solos just rip right through your soul and you love it every second of it.

[SolidMoses]

Frusciante's sound is so distinctive, that you don't even have too watch him play to know that it is actually him. Guitar legend.

[ScenicFights]

That solo at 1:52 is simply mesmerizing. John Frusciante is legendary.

[tetonsandbeyonddogsledding]

We love the way Anthony sounds like he's singing a sea shanty. Brilliant song, brilliant band!

[johnmayersthoughts]

I agree with everyone here - THIS is the Chili Peppers lineup we grew up on and grew to love. I'm so happy John is back. But I also just wanna say huge shoutout to Josh Klinghoffer for keeping the band alive and kickin' for the past few years. Plus a very special thanks for that killer guitar solo on Dark Necessities! <3

[MatthewScottmusic]

I've waited so long for this day😭

[StarLeo_]

Anthony Keidis, Flea, Will Ferrell, and Keanu Reeves is my favourite bang

*LYRICS*

A lazy rain am I
The skies refuse to cry
Cremation takes its piece of your supply
The night is dressed like noon
A sailor spoke too soon
And China's on the dark side of the moon
Platypus are a few
The secret life of roo
A personality I never knew (get it on)
My Greta weighs a ton
The archers on the run
And no one stands alone behind the sun
It's been a long time since I made a new friend
Waitin' on another black summer to end
It's been a long time and you never know when
Waitin' on another black summer to end
Crack the flaming whip
A-sailing on a censorship
Riding on a headless horse to make the trip
Been a long time since I made a new friend
Waitin' on another black summer to end
It's been a long time and you never know when
Waitin' on another black summer to end
I been waitin'
I been waitin'
Waitin' on another black summer to end
I been waitin'
I been waitin'
Waitin' on another black summer to end
I been waitin'
I been waitin'
Waitin' on another black summer to end

[RockFeed]

Good to see these four dudes performing together again. 🛸👽

[SpencerBarton]

New Chili Peppers?! A feeling that will always hit different.

[yvetteceniceros]

Still has the Classic Red Hot Chili Peppers sound from da 90s

[Filya-chan]

I can’t understand how they can still be so active almost 40 years later, not looking like a parody on themselves as many other groups do.

[mslmob]

My dad was a big RHCP fan. He left this world back in 1994. I can't help but feel sad that he'll never hear their music that came after, but I know that he would still be listening to the enduring sounds of Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith, and John Frusciante.

RIP Dad. And long live Red Hot Chili Peppers!

[KirillStepanovich]

you know instantly there is a talent or gift or whatever you wanna call it when you are introduced to something special. When I was 14, I first heard RHCP, I didn't understand a word because I did not speak English back then but what I understood was the pure pleasure of listening to the music of their Californication album. I don't know how John does what he does musically and instrumentally but man this is something beyond this world
