When learning acoustic guitar this summer we learned both songs and discussed their chord similarities at length.

Apparently Tom Petty's wasn't the last dance with Mary Jane - the Chili Peppers took her for one last spin around the dancefloor, but for some reason they call her Dani.

It says this was last played on September 29, though as I recall, it was played last night, on October 30. A bug?

GREAT Video!

I don't normally like these guys, but I like this one.

John Frusciante, no?

So much for Red and Hot...maybe if Flea takes his shirt off the song will sound better. That's about all they have going for them at this point.  Sick of Mr. Kiedis' voice.

Wait, maybe they could all wear costumes and each have different face make-up or masks. That would work. Cool new idea, too!

They're like a tribute band to themselves.

Yeah...these guys are so far past being exciting any more.  What a shame.  4.

Has nothing to do with age. Anthony Kiedis's (Is that right?) voice grates on my nerves for some reason. I liked them a little when they first hit it big in the early 90's. Bought a couple of their CD's but got tired of them quickly.

On the other hand, I have to aggree that Flea IS a great talent (acting aside) and that guitar solo at the end kicks butt.

As a stark contrast, folk should also check out the Red Hot Chilli Pipers, which are bagpipes on crystal meth and absolutely fantastic live. No disrespect to the Peppers, mind, though they never rung my bells, sadly.

love this whole album

Best thing is the guitar solo at the end. Gotta love that anyway.

I'm 53, have seen em live, have their Slane Castle DVD, and completely agree that they rock.  Flea is a huge talent.

This tune isn't one of their better efforts, that's all.

I want to like the Chilli Peppers, but everything since Blood Sugar Sex Magic sounds about the same. They've grown from Funk/Punk to Adult Contemporary Funk, and I have to wonder if their knowledge of geography extends past California.

I hate to say this Anthony, but I think you're getting pretty lame.

Love this song, love Anthony. His voice always touches my heart; it's like I can feel all his pain.

BTW, I'm an oldster, and I think the Peppas RAWK!!!

There are some fans that don't like the new songs from rhcp and "cry about the old time" (i have no idea if i can say it in english). So they rate the song very low whatever the song is good or not.

I like the "new" album from the rhcp.

All that being said, I still can't believe this song didn't rate higher .

Totally agreed, what the hell is the average age of RP listeners, 50? RHCP rock, including this song!!

Puttin' in another Grouchy 10 to counter the ignorant and the haters. Go back to listening to your Clearchannel Classic Rock(tm) station.

Best band ever.

I really like this song...ok, it's because I love Anthony

Well...that's a bit harsh in my book. But not by much. I do like their version of "Higher Ground."

boy oh boy the chili peppers sure do suck the big one.

A band that reminds me of CCR: pretty much one song in the repertoire.  Oh, sure, they call slightly different versions by different names, but still. . . .

Good thing it's a fairly good song.
