The Red Hot Chili Peppers are back after nearly 5 years. They just recently released a single off of their new album, I'm With You. "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" didn't click the first time I listened to it. Maybe that was because I was sitting in the Jackson Airport waiting for a flight back to Austin, had frankly had other things on my mind. Anyway, I listened to it a couple times more and that same old RHCP sound came through. The song starts with a nice drum beat and steady bass line that is somewhat drowned out. You aren't real sure where the guitar is until he strums in and the vocals start. The first verse has those same crazy lyrics that we have become accustomed to from Anthony Kiedis. Then they hit the chorus, which is really catchy and has a pretty good summer feel to it. It's that type of chorus that will stay stuck in your head for the rest of the day. But, what do I know. Just listen to it.
It is a catchy tune but honestly I hate it and it makes me wish John Frusciante was still with them. I hated"Dani California" too and really liked Stadium Arcadium so hopefully they will prove me wrong again.
