The new album from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, called I’m With You, is in stores on August 30th. The first single, “The Adventures of Raindance Maggie,” will be out on July 18th.


I'm really curious to hear what they do now that they don't have Frusciante. On previous albums he really settled into the role of adding all kinds of interesting instrumentation in the overdubbing process, adding harmonies and other sonic stuff. Now that he's gone, and Dave Navarro's not the replacement, I hope this isn't that bad, but I'm still kinda wary.

Im looking forward to this record. I expect this to be really great or really suck....

I liked the Navarro Peppers....Warped was a good tune.

this can't be worse than the adult contemporary stuff they were putting out with Frusciante

It's been five years since the last record and for being one of my favorite bands, I almost just want them to hang it up. I know Josh has worked with them before, but I just get the feeling this is going to suck and not work out for the band.

whos the guitarist now and why did frusciante leave again?

"The record was produced by their longtime collaborator Rick Rubin and will feature the debut of the band's new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer."

As I remember it, Frusciante left basically because he no longer got anything out of the band. His tastes had evolved and he no longer felt like he was in the same musical space as the rest of the group.

I'm cautiously looking forward to this. I think it will most likely suck.

I hope there are some songs about California on it.

That sound suspiciously like Tom Petty.

About as likely as Eddie writing songs about the ocean

i was really bored to see what the peppers became after californication.
that record is their masterpiece really.

I really like that one, and I enjoy the one that came after a whole lot too. i never got into stadium arcadium though.

with frusciante out i'm not really looking forward to this next one.

Yeah, By The Way is a really underrated recored. I really loved that little fucker.

Stadium Arcadium was just too tedious. Maybe as a single disc?

But no Frusciante.... probably won't even think about it. I'm out.

Stadium Arcadium sounded awful. Way too many mediocre songs as well. Not to mention the fact that they regressed rather than progressed after By The Way.

hey girl

Everything RHCP related is insufferable after One Hot Minute. Come on.

i look forward to loving every song the first time i hear it and being bored with them every time after.

I didn't really care for One Hot Minute.

It's like 2 good songs, 3 meh songs and then some other stuff.
