My thoughts. Flea is back! Although Josh seems to be a weird fit because of his age, but it works musically. Not the band's best, but I can't get the damn thing out of my head. :noclue:

Also feel Josh is a very good textural player. Even if it's sloppy in a strange way, the chorus he uses for most the song is much slower than something I would have thought of. Kind of like it.

I saw JK lead a band that opened for Jane's. His stage persona couldn't be more opposed.

With the Chilis, he looks like a Froosh impersonator with those caveman moves and interplay with Flea. Musically, he can't hold a candle to Froosh, so the moves irritate me to no end. I think someone said it here, that this band will sorely miss John's right hand. So far, I totally agree.

Having said that I still love these guys and the song is catchy. :nod:

catchy, yes. and instultingly simple in the same way.

I'll wait for the album for further comments.

I like the video. I like AKs look. I think the song is ok. If this was how Jane's had matured I wouldn't be upset. They're not embarrasing themselves here. I can see how an old school fan wouldn't love this but so what?

I like how the whole Venice Beach thing going on in the video. I wish Jane's would rep their roots as well as these guys.

I don't agree, I think Jane's have matured in a better way than the Chili peppers. Both Irresistable force and ETTL are far better songs than that Raindance song

I agree with the exception of AK's appearance and the new guitar player. Not a fan of that mustache and the jet black hair. Klinghoffer just doesn't do it for me as a player especially during the little solo break, at least on this song. I do like the song though, simple as it is.

My thoughts too Matz. Both Jane's songs kick that one out of the window imo.

I did not like the last Peppers album(s) and i don't think i'll like the new one. I could not even go through the whole video.

Especially Josh bothers me. It does not fit at all, i don't know his qualities as a player but seeing him acting and moving in that video, sorry - it's just a no-go.

I don't think it's fair to judge Josh until we hear the album.

Anyone notice Harry Perry in the video?

Simple doesn't necessarily equate to bad.

How long has he been playing that same guitar? 15 - 20+ years easily? It's been probably a decade since I've wandered around Venice but yeah, I noticed him and a couple other boardwalk old-timers in that clip.

Well, he was in Gift and that was filmed in 1990 (21 years ago!); I met him on Venice Beach in 1999.

I guess I can see liking the new jane's songs better than these, that's a matter of taste. But to say Jane's has matured better than the Peppers seems crazy to me.

I just meant that I like the Jane's songs a lot more. As to whose band that has matured the best I don't know, cause I don't know what parameters you're judging it by
