I gave this song an 8 because it's a classic RHCP song, and I like Anthony, but it is overplayed on the radio and I'd rather not hear it on RP.  |

Wonder how many bought this album based on this song. The rest of the album was quite different.
I liked this one, though...both then and now.

Lots of debate about Kiedis' vocals. Blah blah blah. Can't we all just agree that Frusciante's guitar work is impeccable?

Speaking about down and out, dancing on the edge of a full tilt addiction. Dreams of a better life wrestling with dreams from needles and bottles... I guess we all have felt that edge at some point. Some fell over, some never got quite that close, and some never knew, never saw and never realized how human are we all...

No, airplay didn't kill it. The fact that Anthony blatantly can't sing did. Let's face it...the guy hits wrong notes more than he hit right ones. I can only listen to a few Chili Pep songs in a row before I am running to hit the mute button.
Anthony can rap, and he's better with yelling in a rock song. Ballands are NOT his strong point. |

I simply fail to understand the logic of "it was overplayed too much back in the day by terrestial radio, I don't want to hear it on RP now." A great freaking song is a great freaking song and now..... on RP..... we only hear it .... if its an older classic,,,, maybe twice a month, if we are lucky enough to be tuning in. And when I hear this song on this frequency (two meanings) I am reminded about what a freaking great song it truly is .... not was.... is. |

So.. all those that have said it is soo overplayed.. are you all from USA by any chance?
We in the rest of the world... quite like to hear tunes like this which are not overplayed here.
I guess it is just a case of what stations you are/were listening to.

But the best cuts were probably too rap-like or too vulgar for mainstream radio (at least where I was when it came out) |

Two thoughts ... since he sings it pretty much the same way in each chorus, it's unlikely that this is a "screw up". You might not like his choice, but that doesn't mean it was some sort of mistake. And as I've said elsewhere, if you're looking for absolute tonal precision in your music, you're probably in the wrong place, and/or listening to the wrong genre of music.
Not looking for absolute perfection. I like many artists that fall into the category of 'somewhat flawed'...nowadays in the studio, artists choose to do a 'take' and then copy and paste it for the rest of the tune where the chorus is...which probably saves time, money and effort. When someone sings out of key or flat or sharp...it isn't really up for debate. It's a fact that one is on pitch or not. The variable is in the listener...and their ability to decipher such. I love all kinds of music including much of RHCP...just the singing on this tune isn't very well done. I'm not looking for opera or any such 'trained' or 'perfection'. Simply stating the truth. I wasn't attacking anyone's preferences or anything. Interesting that no one seems to feel inclined to 'speak up' when someone posts positive things about something they agree with...but when someone has a contrary thought about something, it gets construed as an attack. |
