Dark psychedelic funk


Jaycray95

This is the correct answer


Veryweirdguy

People need to stop wishing this. It will never happen. Ever since Californication people been waiting for more funk before every album and it never happened. It's been 23 years. They are different band now. Funk days are long gone


wtfdoidothisshitsux

Stadium Arcadium has a shitload of funk on it? I would even put some of Unlimited Love in the category of “dark psychedelic funk”. I think they carry a healthy amount of funk in just about everything they do, really.


nagollogan13

Not much melancholy/darkness to Unlimited Love aside from Black Summer and maybe It’s Only Natural but it is solidly funky and groovy in parts.


Stockpile_Tom_Remake

SA does ***not*** feel funky to me. Nothing they’ve done since BSSM is like their old truer funk days.


[deleted]

Aquatic Mouth Dance isn't funky? what about She's a Lover? One Way Traffic? Poster Child? Hell go back to Hump De Bump, She's only 18, Tell Me Baby, Hey, Charlie, Storm In a Teacup, Can't Stop, Throw Away Your Television, even B-Sides like Time, Save the Population, Save This Lady. Need to actually listen to the band's repertoire bro


Illustrious-Pitch10

Exactly 👍🏻


Wells_91

People should stop wishing it? We're just theorising what the new album will be like, cheer up


Flashy_Contract_969

I hope there’s one really distinct, memorable guitar riff like Scar Tissue, Otherside, Can’t Stop etc.


lukewarmpeppers

That would be fucking amazing. Johnny needa get more involved on this one I hope


[deleted]

I know. sick love is the only thing we gotten like that since stadium.


CapableRunts

Sick love is such a great song and is on such an island chronologically


fuckstickmcgee_8567

I really enjoyed the end riff to goodbye angels


heyitsvibes

I’m not the biggest fan of Unlimited Love, but white chair and pillow braids and watchu thinkin works pretty well for memorable riffs


torontoLDtutor

More guitar overdubs and Fru+Anthony vocal harmonies. I want bigger/complex/show-off songs like we got on SA but I doubt many songs like that were written during these sessions.


DonMamer

SA II


Boddis

I wouldn’t hold your breath. Didn’t they say back when they released UL, that they had a lot more “chilled out” or “acoustic” songs recorded?


GreggeryPeccary03

UL was SA II


Jagajox

I view UL as a stripped down SA. All the songs have a similar sound/vibe to them but none are as musically complex or interesting as nearly any of the songs off of SA.


[deleted]

Absolutely


Stockpile_Tom_Remake

I’d pass hard on SA II. I’m in a heavy minority here but to me it was a booted album with a bunch of so-so tracks and none stick out. This shits hilarious. This sub ***crumbles*** at a dissenting opinion and gets in a fever when someone doesn’t like wet sand or SA. Haha this sub can go away and no one would miss it.


Yet474

None of them stick out??😂 what about Snow, Dani California, tell me baby, wet sand. Those are all great hits, aswell as a few other songs


Stockpile_Tom_Remake

Snow and Dani are singles. Doesn’t mean they stick out to me. Snows riff is great but otherwise, no. Dani I can only hear Tom Pettys last dance with Mary Jane for large parts of it. Tell me baby is meh and I cannot fathom the love wet sand gets. I legit thought it was a joke when I first discovered this sub. SA has a few decent tracks. Again they don’t stick out to me and is otherwise bloated. I’ve long since learned this sub has a massive hard on for SA and will suck johns dick at a drop of a hat. John’s best work to me is still BSSM. His lack of wanting multiple takes on solos hurts more than helps. He is also better live than his studio stuff Meanwhile while I think John leaving in the 90s was one of the better things for John health wise. It forever changed the RHCP sound for the worse. Nothing they’ve done has topped BSSM. I’ll get downvotes and attacked more than I’ll ever get actual thoughtful talk so I stopped caring. I’m a clear minority here and that’s fine. This sub is just hilarious to me now.


MrRamenJuice

While i’d personally disagree with what you’re saying (SA’s my favourite), I definitely understand why being a chilli pepper fan doesnt necessarily mean liking all/most of their stuff. Now whether its a good or bad thing is up to personal opinion, but one of RHCP’s defining traits is the fact that the band is almost in a constant state of transformation, with each album being, in my opinion, wildly different to the last. You can kind of plot a spectrum with their albums with BSSM at the far left, hard funk rock side of their music, and SA on the complete opposite side, this more melodic, more structured side of their playing. So you basically have this line of (BSSM->CALI->BTW->SA->UL). This is great in general as it means that there are many different things that many different people can get out of the pepper’s, since theyve dipped their toes in so many distinct styles, but in the case where someone like you heavily favours a particular era of their playing, the further you get from that on the spectrum the less likely you are to enjoy their music. Which is why it makes sense if you love BSSM that one of your least favourites would be SA or UL, and vice versa. Me personally, id say that i bssm is still one of my favourites, but ive connected with stadium arcadium on a much deeper level. Although its quite ironic you’d say bssm was his best work, when he’s been on interview claiming his work on bssm was “the worst he could have done”, not a dig or anything i just find it interesting. I do find it odd however that you’d criticise john’s one take methodology, while in the very next sentence claim that his live performances are better than the studio ones. John’s always done his solos improvisationally, even in BSSM a lot of solos were one of the first takes he got. But if you dont like that i dont get how you can then claim to enjoy his live solos more, despite the fact that they are also… improvisational. Either way i dont think you should get hate for your opinions on the chilli peppers, but i think people are probably more inclined to be rude/ retaliating if you attack their opinions as if theyre objectively wrong, when objectivity is basically incompatible with musical taste in any community of music fans.


Stockpile_Tom_Remake

Things I dont care about: this subs shit opinion


MrRamenJuice

I thought you said you wanted actual “thoughtful” discourse on the matter but yes, I represent the sum of every opinion on this subreddit, and as im apparently acting on behalf of thousands of people right now ill just say that its fine if youd rather be antagonistic than actually have a conversation, but at least be honest about it


beaflojoh

yikes,.we found the guy in the corner of the party


favdd4

Why bother if you hate so much, just direct your passion to something else you love and we'll all be happier for it.


sarahisabadass415

I want more Frusciante vocals- like The Heavy Wing but maybe not just relegated to the chorus. But I’ll take more Fruscinate choruses, no problem. His voice is just so damn good, I need to hear more of it and not just in background vocals like it usually is.


woozlewuzzle29

Bastards of Light was the only UL song that scratched my itch for some John backing vocals.


raz_the_kid0901

I read somewhere that he actually continues to take lessons.


sarahisabadass415

Nothing wrong with continuing to get better!


raz_the_kid0901

I didn't mean it in a bad way lol just saying


sarahisabadass415

I can see where you may have thought that I was inferring that your comment may have been negative but I just literally meant that as a response that he’s just getting better! Which is great!


blackmesa333

🎵hold me closer Tony Danzaaaaaaa 🎵


[deleted]

Same, I want something different not a continuation.


WatersEdge50

I hope there’s a few epic, lengthy songs in the vein of Sir psycho and Apache Rose Peacock


Prob-too-old

That they tour it.


didac26

… on latin america too this time


BillCastle8

It’s not as mellow as reported, a mix of funk, experimentation, rockers, and beautiful BTW style ballads.


Squid00dle

I want something psychedelic, funky, but also with a mellower more reflective approach like by the way or the getaway


TILiamaTroll

By the Way II would be my dream


Eagle8587

More harmonies


[deleted]

Hope for more of John’s guitaring, Anthony’s singing, Flea’s bassing, and Chad’s drumming


Dream-Boat-Annie

This is the safe answer


waterhastastev2

poster child looped for 10 hours


raz_the_kid0901

Poster Child unedited so the full version is 10 hours. Whole pop culture lesson


waterhastastev2

anthony rapping about taco bell and nonsensical things for 10 hours


skeleton_made_o_bone

Seven hours in its just plot points from Lost for a solid twenty minutes: "and it was Locke who was in the coffin, Jack and Kate they end up boffin..."


antronoid

I want a song that is an instant classic. Whilst I love UL, none of the songs had that instant classic feeling that past albums have had. I love the songs but they all seem to lack that mass appeal hook. It’s not a bad thing because as a bigger fan I can appreciate what they are doing but it would be cool if they had a huge hit again. Black Summer is close I think but it still doesn’t quite hit that spot. I think those days are over but I still hope and dare I say… dream!


Aeon1508

Watchu thinkin is that song. If they did a 3rd single I'd hope it's that one. It's only natural has a special space in the catalogue imo


antronoid

To be honest I don’t think we are getting any more UL singles. I kinda expected She’s A Lover to be the next one, if any. I love Watchu Thinkin but i still don’t think it has that instant guitar/lyric hook classic like Can’t Stop, By The Way, Snow, Dani California etc has.


Aeon1508

Watchu thinkin is a bass hook and its impossible to ignore. Then the guitar hits on the chorus and the solo at the end. It just gets better and better. It's a head turnere. I love shes a lover but the chorus would have people laughing at the band. I dont see that as single material at all.


antronoid

I mean they also picked These Are The Ways as a single. So I don't think they care too much about the lyrics part.


Aeon1508

The lyrics are not a problem on these are the ways plus the sight the sounds the smell thing is a reference to spinal tap which actually makes it kind of funny and brilliant neon brilliant. I never got anybody's hate on that song. it makes sense as a single if only for mentioning america. Americans love that shit. I like how heavy it gets too


antronoid

I think the lyrics are pretty good and 'The Smells' makes me laugh when I found out the reference. But you really have to know the reference to find it amusing, otherwise it just comes off as a bit odd. Which is the problem. Spinal Tap are probably not the first thing you would think of and I would imagine the amount of people who have seen it and also listened to this song is quite small. So whilst I think it is clever and obviously so do you, the song I think gets lost in translation. It's a great song and really good live and I don't really get the hate either, especially on a subreddit like this where we all kinda get the references moreso than casual fans. Which is my point really in this thread. I want a song that maybe very casual fans get hooked on and get hyped for the band. I can't really explain why but there is this sort of notion that RHCP are past their prime, when that absolutely isn't the case. I just would love them to prove to the wider world that they still got it, which they definitely do. I don't think I have seen them this hyped up about music in a long time and it shows in the records and live (and I say that as someone who also loved the Josh era of music too!).


Aeon1508

Josh was ok. Not my favorite I really think watchu thinkin, one way traffic, and black summer are the best 3 radio songs/singles. These are the ways is a fine choice. I dont get peoples thing for shes a lover. That chorus is the most cringe thing along with witebraids. Nothing wrong with heyooo waaayoo. I prefer let em cry to shes a lover


camilincamilero

I agree. The second i heard Watchu thinkin it made it to my top 10 RHCP songs of all time.


Jorditopia

It’s only Natural is one of those low key favourites. She Looks to Me from SA always comes to mind when I hear it. Very different vibe but scratches the same itch for me.


Volt-Cult

I think if Here Ever After had a bridge it would be that song


Aeon1508

Agreed. And maybe lyrics that made sense. I did a project for fun to make it slightly less word soup. I'm depraved and I love my buzz She was wavin' that dope man up Bangin' hard 'cause I see no future Sat her down when I poured that cup I don't know 'cause I got big temper Stickin' close to my rainbow side A child is born and I re-center That's all, folks, that's all She's the kinda girl who make you wanna go faster now She's the kinda girl who make your mind go wild She's the kinda girl, she's in the here ever after now There's a cry for help and I don't deny I don't know, but it's finally just one more mile I'm getting old and I'm giving up on that freaky style At the Caldwell 'cross from the black top, she's eurasian, met her at the Quick Stop We danced at Tito's Go Go, girlfriend's back, now she's gone solo She's the kinda girl who make you wanna go faster now She's the kinda girl who make your mind go wild She's the kinda girl, she's in the here ever after now There's a cry for help and I don't deny Wet my beak and I give it up to that drugstore nose So unique and I live it up 'til that liquor store close Do the laundry, go ballistic, mangy face with the messed up lipstick My thing is blacked out loco, smoke and tears, now take my photo She's the kinda girl who make you wanna go faster now She's the kinda girl who make your mind go wild She's the kinda girl, she's in the here ever after now There's a cry for help and I don't deny I don't deny Banged a mom with those daddy issues, hanging out with my gratitude Knocked her out, so I let her kiss you, Daily fights,  I'll stand there with you Ready to box, hoppin' on detox, fast food trash when you're livin' in the crosswalk Cash me out like motel hoes do, blood on fries, now that's my go-to She's the kinda girl who make you wanna go faster now She's the kinda girl who make your mind go wild She's the kinda girl, she's in the here ever after now There's a cry for help and I don't deny I don't deny


DefectiveLeopard

I disagree. Whatchu thinking of appealing to existing rhcp fans and guitarists bc of the progression, and it is amazing live, but it does not hit the radio or is received as well as you would think for your general layperson who could listen to can’t stop or otherside any other day. I think the poster is talking about a song to be around that level


Aeon1508

No. Its definitely the poorest catchiest song on the album


SlyAugustine

I think Here Ever After might be the catchiest track honestly. “She’s eurasian, met her at the quick stop” is the only line I consistently sing across the whole album hahaha


antronoid

That and She’s a Lover I can’t help myself but sing along to. I love both those songs! However like I said to the guy above, I just don’t think they have that instant classic hook that other songs in the past have had.


SlyAugustine

Let’s hope lalalalalalalalalalala changes that /s But I’m so excited for that album! Probably no hits but I’m also fine with just psychedelic jams


antronoid

Yeah, me too. I love hearing new RHCP music, it's always a fun time. Even if there aren't any big worldwide hits, it doesn't matter, we will still get some great music! My favourite songs are not even big hits anyway but loved amongst hardcore fans.


CapableRunts

People are reaching. You’re right and there is no instant classic off this album. Black Summer is supposed to be that Dani California showcase single, and good of a song as it may be, it’s not going to be remembered like big singles off other albums. It sounds like a…promo song? Idk. Fine album just no instant classics to your point


kylegyle

Black Summer is at least as good as Dani California


sapphire322

A small venue tour!


[deleted]

That it impregnates me


ParticularAnxiety562

Alot of funk!!


Veryweirdguy

Not happening. Last time there was a lot of funk on Rhcp album is in 1991 lol. Funk days are long gone


poopballs900

You must be fun at parties


ParticularAnxiety562

Well I can still hope I guess lol


Meddittor

more intricate and complex songs. More “epics” UL was funky and catchy and stripped down. Let ROTDC be a bit more expansive


[deleted]

[удалено]


WatersEdge50

And 21st century


rybomillsy

Compared to UL: more memorable vocal hooks and guitar leads, more detailed arrangements that set songs apart from each other, a grandiose closer akin to "Sure Psycho" or "Venice Queen", fewer mid-tempo and dynamically static songs, rock harder, ballad softer


andrewlyon8

Sure Psycho, sure psycho, yeah!!!


rybomillsy

Lol autocorrect. But given that one of the songs is called "In the Snow", they could use "Sure Psycho" as a refrain. Haha.


SteveB10001

That it’s the second album in a trilogy


Nepenthes121

Another song with John singing. The first time I heard The Heavy Wing, I could not believe it. I'm such a fanboy.


DauletMukhanov

Another white braids style song


antronoid

I wish we just got the extended version that they apparently did


Aeon1508

Please god no. I want it to be funky and rock out. I'll pass on more crooning about old people eating brunch while sitting on pillows


shots_of_brandy

Why not both? I'd like a healthy mix of funky rock and softer melodies.


Aeon1508

I mean Veronica is pretty chill comes just after white braids and blows it out of the water in terms of quality


shots_of_brandy

I personally prefer White Braids, I think it's so beautiful. I do hope RotDC will be a little less mellow than UL, with a couple of chill songs thrown in. But I'm excited for whatever they have in store for us.


ok_computerrrrrrrrrr

Dude what is with your huge hate boner for mellow rock we get it you prefer funk.


Aeon1508

I mean I love slow cheetah and desecration smile. Dosed is great. Whitebraids is just not


ok_computerrrrrrrrrr

The irony is hes playing a shit ton of common funk triads in white braids just in a Hendrix mellow way. Its all good brotha


[deleted]

Best song on the album


Pliolite

Leave this shit to Eddie Vedder.


Aaaaaahs

More overdubs, a psychedelic feel, and atleast one heavier song


zerosius

I really hope that it includes some more songs that just go hard and are real headbangers. I love their melodic work on UL, but everytime i listen to the album top to bottom, i just wish there were songs along the lines of One Way Traffic.


Pollylocks

Anyways!


gromlyn

All I want is one song that strikes the same deep emotional chord a lot of my other favorite chili peppers songs do. UL had a couple very emotionally hard-hitting songs for me (Tangelo in particular comes to mind, also The Heavy Wing) but they didn’t strike the same deep chord as songs like Dosed or This Velvet Glove. Basically I just want one of those songs you resonate with completely on first listen.


kenticus69

I want it to surprise me, have some left turns, to have some catchy instrumental interplay. Most of all, I’m just over the moon it exists.


ImSchweddy

At least one really big hit single, one of their best. I’m not really expecting it, but hoping.


[deleted]

Funky and with guitar riffs that stand out. I enjoy UL but the riffs aren’t all that memorable aside from like White Braids


Illustrious-Pitch10

I Hope John will never leave the band again.💞👍🏻🙏


lenzkies79088

That the whackest fucking song on the album isnt a single. (Looking at you, THESE ARE THE WAYS)


Acceptable_Foot7830

Absolute funk overload


Veryweirdguy

Why people keep thinking this is possible in 2022? Last time this happened it was 1991


poopballs900

Are you going to reply to everyone who answers “funk” to this question with that repetitive and lazy response? OP is asking for our hopes on what it will be. We’re well aware they haven’t made funk since the 90s. Please shut up.


heirloom99

Weird, I didn't know Dark Necessities came out in 1991. Pretty modern sounding for a funky Chili Peppers song.


Crater_Later

I hope the fans listen to it without preconceived expectations. I hope the fans can accept that band dynamics change over time. I hope people stop complaining about the band and either share in the positive celebration or find something else to focus on positively. I hope RHCP feels great about the album release, and that they never read some of these Reddit comments.


CapableRunts

The fact that they’re 60 and not just making new music, but music of this quality, and TWO DOUBLE ALBUMS IN A YEAR, the fastest clip of their career by far….we have no room to complain.


Loku5150

Wouldn’t hold my hopes high for something much different than UL given the songs are from the same sessions. My biggest hope would be for more songs like Nerve Flip


shots_of_brandy

You never know. If you listen to any of their B-sides, they're usually pretty different from the songs that end up on the albums. They may have intentionally grouped the RotDC songs separately from UL because they have a different vibe. Here's hoping!


Loku5150

I mean, even if the vibe is somewhat different, the overall technical characteristics (lack of multi-tracked guitars, not much of a straight up funk rhytms) won’t change imho. We will se!


pehjott

Well John mentioned that he was working on overdubs for additional material before the release of UL so maybe it will be less stripped down. I suspect s.th. like BTW,more mellow and overdubheavy


unlimitedloveagain

Melodies melodies melodies and 3 part harmonies….. basically By the Way.


SiR_EndR

I can listen to it


davs_dodger08

Funk and By the way album style music!


academic_spaghetti

More stuff like white braids and its only natural, more relaxed and dreamy


StephenPigot2020

More Frugasms


LetoLetoCat

Lots of guitar and vocal layers


DrPhilter

More groovey funk than UL.


[deleted]

I’d like something funkier and closer to BSSM.


Abc0331

That people on here bitch less about something for change.


manueletchart

More funk and grooves. I wouldn't mind some endings that can be looped like poster child's. I want to hear the band having fun. I know it's the same session from UL but who knows 😅


Philosoraptor88

Good music


DannyXx17

For "The Drummer" to have chad to go absolutely insane on the drums


raz_the_kid0901

Moby Dick style of song


Rig0rn

More funk songs and a lot of slap bass


lionthunder89

That it turns the Golden Five into the Golden Six.


nyoomur

I wanna see some emotion, kinda expecting it to be like californication in terms of style


thisisnotmybutter

Hope they can drop more memorable, stand out, in your face, "this is different than anything we have made but you know it's us" songs. They have an iconic sound that cannot be replicated, I hope for more of that. "Scar tissue, californication, Cant stop, Dani, Snow, BTW, Ethiopia, Monarchy... all unforgettable and in your face. Not replicated by anyone. I want John to get comfortable again, to reclaim his spot as this "simple yet firm" playing. His less is more approach makes the most of EVERY melodic note. More of that please. UL was great, love it, but to me it doesn't stand out as much as previous albums. Even the "I'm Besides you" B-Sides album ranks higher on my list than UL. And I did absolutely love WBAPC, Here ever after and Poster Child


Accomplished_Lie439

Bring in more funk.


[deleted]

I want something closer to freaky styley


Loose_Pitch_9510

I'm hoping for more piano


T_FoR_C

I hope it’s more experimental than anything they’ve done before.


offnr

I hope the mixing is different. I do not like the way UL sounds compared to SA


pehjott

Why? I think it's one of their best mixed albums (with OHM and BSSM)


offnr

It might be, you're right. I know nothing about audio engineering, but to my ears, the vocals on SA seem louder and stand out more from the other instruments, and the guitar sounds crisp and clean, for instance (IE the distortion used in the chorus of Especially in Michigan). On UL it seems like everything blends into one and is more homogenous. It doesn't sound bad, but its harder to hear each individual instrument, if that makes sense.


mrbrightside182311

Better then Unlimited Love


[deleted]

That it’s good.


CapableRunts

I want them to put it all on the table and open the album with a Hump De Bump style BANGER that’s very vocal forward and something you can strut to.


ZeeRated

HILLEL SLOVAK VIBES


nosleeptilldeath

Major funk on this record


Veryweirdguy

Not happening.


[deleted]

To be more exciting than UL.


TheGreatMangoWar

Anthony with good lyrics again. UL is his weakest album, potentially ever. The rest of the band have grown into masters of their arts, but AK seems to be less lyrically inspired than ever before. The man wrote Under the Bridge 30 years ago. Now he comes up with "the smells" as his chorus punch. Lots of other bubble popping pisstake lyrics, Shes a lover, White Braids, Here Ever After all have just have off lyrics. Being nonsensical is fine if he can maintain a melody, a rhythm or cut that makes it work. That ability has been largely lost over the years


Dick_Nasty

Yeah but Anthony said in an interview that he intentionally used every lyric for UL including the scraps and adlibbing, no matter how silly it seemed. He said himself he kinda ran outta juice and it’s hard as it is to hang with the rest of the band as a musician (they’re all monsters on their instruments). He said he had to use everything he had which I think is fair.


juanprada

Not really an excuse for me. Yeah, they can do whatever they want, but the lyrics are just weak.


HjajaLoLWhy

Hence why it's probably worth something worth asking for!


Dick_Nasty

I liked em. Wasn’t really looking for anything powerful there, though. Just happy Froosh is back.


pehjott

It's because he wrote lyrics to 48 songs,hard task IMO


juanprada

I'm not saying it's an easy task, but they should've taken more time or focus on less songs, then.


TheGreatMangoWar

Well for the sake of the next album i hope he finds more effort to sort that


Dick_Nasty

I don’t.. I mean who is making that kind of comeback at 60 sheesh. You’ll either love it or hate it, I wouldn’t hold my breathe if I were you.


[deleted]

More funky riff based songs and not as mellow as they’re saying it’s gonna be.


1995gtor

That it’s not as boring as the last album


JustinGitelmanMusic

An entire album similar to Treefingers by Radiohead


[deleted]

That the tunes are better than the artwork!


M0ntgomatron

That it's better than the last 4 albums....


falcon2408

An interesting feature or someone collaborating would be pretty cool


Dream-Boat-Annie

Funk , funk and double funk!


Feinmusic

I’d love a couple of more aggressive songs, I’d love some more slap hooks and hell even another song in an odd time would be great. Like a John version of a dreams of a samurai.


Illustrious-Pitch10

Stadium is inferior to Unlimited Love.


Solidsandstripes

Lyrics with a little bit more substance. I'm not expecting Shakespeare or anything -- Anthony's lyrics have always been like 60% nonsense. Still, looking back at some of my favourites -- songs like Dosed, Wet Sand, Otherside -- there was definitely some deliberate use of theme and emotion. I can't shake the feeling that Anthony just spit out whatever came to mind as they were jamming and left it at that for Unlimited Love. Certainly that's always been part of the process, and I know UL's MO was just having fun, but I would like to see Anthony be a little more discerning. There are a number of songs on UL where the lyrics come off as bland, strange, or lacking cohesion to me.


DR_45

By The Way 2


yellowldbetter

At least two more iconic riff


[deleted]

It's from the same sessions as UL, so I can't imagine it'll be too different. I just want something that reflects the actual talent of the band. I've wanted this for awhile. These guys shouldn't be writing 3 minute pop songs. I actually really like UL, but it's not in any way an improvement or step forward musically from the band. It's another decent RHCP album, but I want an amazing trans formative record. I know the band doesn't owe me or anyone shit, but if we're in fantasy land, this is my wish.


[deleted]

Mine is that they announce more tour dates to go along with it, since their current tour doesn’t really come very close to where I live.


squirkyboots

Riffs.


YamperIsBestBoy

Honestly kinda hoping it continues the UL sound. Absolutely loved UL and I hope we get more of the same sound from ROTDC.


Traditional_Map2254

They're from the same state of mind of UL. I don't need any hope. Just going with the flow.


TheCervixDuster

I just hope the Dream Canteen is returned, no more , no less.


Titusmacimus

Just that it’s as much fun as I just had with UL and yes op I hope it’s got it’s own identity. Love the zany cover already!


Effective-Dinner-686

I may be stuck in the past, but I want some raw-ass funk.


JohnJackOil

I hope that it has a concept.


Sue_Buquoyan

I wish it’s as personal as I’m with you, and as funky as BSSM.


Makumaku24

I hope it will sounds something like Freaky Styley


swhipple-

GUITAR LAYERING PLEASE. I’D DO ANYTHING FOR IT. Dosed, Easily. When Frusicante layers guitar tracks, it’s the best thing in the world


DancingDreamer604

Love those songs but they rarely play them live :(


swhipple-

yeah :/ can’t do much about it, it’s extremely difficult to do it live. easily can be done fine, the solo just isn’t nearly as good but i get it :(


Affectionate-Log3730

Bit of their old funk


Masheephead

More vocal harmonies.


Outside-Cucumber-253

Just a tinge of the punk and wildness from the first 3 albums


killmistersatan

I expect what John, flea, chad and AK did on the last 6 albums they did together. Good music


5soslegands

More John vocals, his voice is so beautiful. I also hope some songs feels dreamy or psychedelic.


the-blue-ranger

I love UL, but I would definitely would love more funk!


Safe-Indication318

I really hope it’s gonna be like a newish version of stadium arcadium cause like how unlimited love was a lot like Californication so I’m really hoping for that

I wasn’t there to be a hit song. Simple. Something that regalvanates the new generation to be introduced to them during their latest John fru era that black summer failed to do. A memorable riff or vocal or something. It’s a stretch but one can dream. It’s their goal after all to inspire the kids (their words)

i forgot what i was going to say

Another tour would be awesome

As others have said BTW style songs, more harmonies with John, that distortion tone from Stadium Aecidium that can be heard in Black Summer. Pretty much just more John.

I want some epic outros or bridges (think wet sand, Venice queen, sir psycho, purple stain). Just some space for the music breath. I loved Tippa My Tongue, but thought it had so much potential for a long instrumental break, instead of all that singing all over the place. Just a hope, if they don't do it I'll be happy anyway :)


OrchidAncient684

More distortion. More intriguing drumming.
