REVIEW: Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm With You

[icravehands]

This guy really knows what he's talking about :D

[everlyredhot]

6 months later I totally hate it! the worst RHCP album so far, Anthony trying so hard to sing pop melodies while he could rock in rappin', the choruses are just awful, not one decent chorus on 14 songs except maybe Brutus, they all sound the same. wish they broke up when John left a couple of years ago, the new peppers are just awful...

[justkilledit21]

riffs that were really memorable and fun to hear, but with the new guitarist he didnt really blow me out the water. Which is actually good because i wouldnt want him to drown Flea and Anthony out with him trying so hard to prove to the fans hes good. I give this album a 7/10. It has its high moments, but like every RHCP it has some songs that are just terrible.

[justkilledit21]

this was a good album in my opinion. Rebirth is a great way to describe it. To be honest the singles were my least favorite songs on the album "adventures of rain dance maggie" and "monarchy of roses" were just annoying to me. My favs were, factory of faith, brendans death song, and goodbye hooray. They all had more pep in their step then the other songs on this album. Flea and Anthony definitely shine on this album, the guitar was kind of in the background for me, Stadiumm arcadium had good

[MrSlashrocks13]

great album, the adventures of the raindance maggie is just amazing!!!

[username1o2]

nada mas esta hablando este hijo de puta

[SebaChannel]

@username1o2 creo q para dar una opinion se debe hablar

si no entiendes ingles, este no es el video para ti

[tabrisbiebr20098]

4:10 Did anyone else think of that old MTV skit??(: AAnyways Great review dude!!! I give the album 5 stars xD RHCP 4evr <3

[katiasabbath]

good job man!

[redlanternman]

As a fan since 1987!I'm going to have to say this album is absolutely incredible!!!I LOVE IT!!ITS ARGUABLY THERE 2nd best release in the history of the band!!!Welcome back RHCP!!!

[rockypc24]

this album is like drinking your second favrote soda its really good and pretty amazing but its just not it

[misssophie119]

I disagree with this review. It was a huge mistake to continue without John. he gave them their musical identity. Their last album SA was their magnum opus. This new record is weak. It lacks coherence. I can't hear the labor of love that their previous albums exhibit. I rank the new album in last place. Their best albums are SAt, then BSSM, then Californication and BTW

And on another note: at this point in their long career, they shouldn't be goin through line up changes + other growing pains.

[maalbe987]

@misssophie119 So are you saying that you don't like any RHCP stuff from before Mother's Milk? (Self-titled, Freaky Styley & Uplift Mofo Party Plan)

[misssophie119]

@maalbe987 that's not what I said at all. I hold the John albums in high esteem, but I never said their early work was terrible.

[SebaChannel]

@misssophie119 i think this album just shows the other members abilities

anthony is singing better than ever, chad and flea are just beasts on this records and flea took the control of the ship and move it back to the funkiness with his bass lines

josh is not frusciante, he is not that great but his job is really good as a back ground maybe not as a lead guitar but creates the perfect ambient for a good rock/pop/funk song

[staticfreaker]

@SebaChannel Have you seen some of the recent live shows? He's definitely become more confident and is becoming a better guitarist.

[bdebramo]

you nailed this review. I followed completly and agree 100%%%%%

[vagosGREECE1997]

One word about the review:awsome(and please keep on doing them)

And one word about the album:DIFFRENT, now i'm not sure if this is a good

thing or not personally i like it

[ethansmall01]

excellent review

[johnmichaelosbourne7]

NEW RHCP SUCKS! its not rhcp! THEY WENT PANSIE! but the adventures of raindance maggie is really good

[johnmichaelosbourne7]

@johnmichaelosbourne7 and the bassline on the album. the rest is shit

[harantesr]

Awesome album review! About the album itself: It's really great! Bought it about two weeks ago and can't stop listening to it! Fortunately I went to RHCP concert in Rock in Rio last week and it was epic! 100000 people dancing, singing going crazy! And the new guitar player doesn't disappoint even in the old songs!!! Every song he tends to do the same as on the original record but he makes kind of different, so there's a little surprise after every single note!!!! They're great live with Josh!!!

[lindab30]

I love this guy! He knows his shit!! I'll be beack - ps I agree with him re John vs Josh- love love Flea - yeah star of the show - Flea this time YEAH!!!!

Love his piano - flowed into a child;s piano at end. He is smoothly, yet just into it ly ...This guy is GREAT!!!!!!!! Love his know how and his expression

[THELOCUST234]

It's actually my first experience with RHCP. My friends and dad have always recommended them as a good band, but I just hopped on the train. I love this album. All the musicians are very talented, especially Flea.

[CheatSlav]

fucking genious! flea is the king!

[DeathToTheBully]

i bought at hot topic and album and i like it my favorite song is "even you brutus?" and what do you think the song is about? i give the album an 8 /10

[TheMatt8330]

i think this is an amazing album they really couldnt have gotten a better person to replace john the his best friends/jam buddies. its different to me it sounds like a mix of stadium arcadium with their older stuff like uplift mofo party and freaky styley but different is good as long as the music is still good which it is and on even ur brutus i think he sounds more like a street preacher he did a similar thing in death of a martion

[rockypc24]

@TheMatt8330 i dont really see any pre bssm vibes in this album none at all

[ROCKSTAR28337]

2 reasons why i live in mo irene& katrina

[leiscwf]

Fucking love this album.Great review man.Flea fucks shit up hard!

[filter1996]

its a great album, but in my opinion, josh is just as good as john (dont hate, read first) as we all know, johns main inspiration is hendrix, you can hear it in most songs., but josh is more like the edge from u2, i thought the solos were fine, but he uses more effects to add ambiance and an oomph to the song, except he doesnt spam effects like edge does, what im saying is, both guitarist are amazing, but with different styles of playing, when i saw josh play roxy, i thought he was amazing

[filter1996]

@filter1996 and i thought this review was fantastic, it was amazing, i loved this album, it was love at first listen, and my favorite songs are definitely monarchy of roses, factory of faith, brendans death song (probably the one ive heard most), ethiopia, look around, rain dance maggie, goodbye hooray, happiness loves company, even you brutus?, and meet me at the corner, but i still though all the songs were just amazing and well done, totally worth the wait, and im waiting for another record

[saiforfali]

sick review dude. I think its a great album.. The funky timing of Ethiopia sells the album :) I love Josh's work. Its up there with all their other great albums. Job well done.

[HalvLion]

The album is okay but not the best, but The adventures of raindance maggie is awesome :) espescially the bass line, one of the best bass line's from Flea I've heard :D

[LexouDuck]

I always think it's hard to accommodate yourself to new albums of a band, it usually takes me at least 3 months of listening, but here, just as you said, they're new and fresh, and I'm already listening to I'm with you wherever i go.

[TheMan0War]

Fricken awesome review man! I pretty much agree agree with everything you say, apart from saying Josh's solo's don't do it, they do it for me XD

[flickded]

Definitely one of the best albums of the year along with the King of Limbs

[TheSorceressKnight]

Dude, you blow the NeedleDrop out of the water. Period. I know it's not your thing, but please keep doing album reviews.

[rhcp484]

@TheSorceressKnight AHAHAHAHAHAH!!

[WestCoastIrk]

WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHN FRUSCIANTE????????

ANYONE?!!??

[rocknroll9queen]

@WestCoastIrk he's doing his own solo work

[happybirthdayto007]

hey sammi if you get some carpet (or some of that foam soundproofing stuff for the walls), itll make the sound levels work a little better.

[BenBroPro]

Great review man, im really digging the album at the moment. Rain dance maggie is a beauty of a track :)

[theedeadidols]

Every since I found out you make a little money every time I watch an add in front of your video (which I ALWAYS skip), I now will watch even though it's about pampers or something, just to hook you up 'cause I've watched you improve since you started. I think that you're a pro now and your humor and delivery is very enjoyable.

[DSakaiOnRye]

This is not news. Let Anthony Fantano do the the hard work while you can do whatever the hell you call this shows

[DBCochrann96]

My humble opinion of the Pepper album ranking. 1)BloodSugarSexMagik 2)Californiacation 3)By the Way 4) I'M WITH YOU 5)Stadium Arcadium 6)Freaky Styley 7)One Hot Minute 8)Red Hot Chili Peppers 9)the Uplift Mofo Party Plan. i LOVE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!!! Flea is my Bass idol and it is my dream to meet them!!!!!!!!

[cakelover33]

JUST BOUGHT THE ALBUM TODAY

[VacuiNatale]

Bought the album the day it was released. And I still haven't stop listening to it. It's a great album.

[vetsimpel]

great review sami! really helpfull thank you

i think the album is really awesome i enjoyed it but stadium arcadium will always have a head start since its the first rock album i ever bought in my entire life

[RockItOutBlog]

@vetsimpel thanks for watching!

[broomeydbr9]

I totally disagree with the initial opinion that the chili's music cant be as funky without frusciante, because i think their music was at its most funky BEFORE frusciante joined...

[WildBullRider2007]

Great Review!!!

[RockItOutBlog]

@WildBullRider2007 great comment!!!

[penisbos]

I like the new album... Though in my opinion there is still a void-element that needs to be filled. I'm not saying I'm ass-kissing John Fruscianté, but I definately miss the guy.

I'd say: lets combine Josh & John (see, they sound like a couple already) on the next album.

Anyway, my favorite song is " Brendan's Death Song'' and '' Look Around" I guess.

I'm looking forward to seeing them the 16th of Octobre close to my hometown.

By the way, you ARE a yelling sailsman!! nice review though

[PoisonBannana]

Sami, i loved your review. I've been a huge fan of the peppers since the first time i heard these guys on the radio. Although i have another question for you about Klinghoffer. What is your full opinion about him? I really want to know what your opinion is about him, but not just from the album, also his future with the band and such?

[RockItOutBlog]

@PoisonBannana I got no problem with Klinghoffer. Of course I miss Frusciante but Klinghoffer does his own thing. I find it refreshing

[jlwthethird]

ARRRG IMMA PIRATE! lol

[RockItOutBlog]

@jlwthethird ARRRG! What are we stealing?!

[superrockification]

4:13 sammy its much easier to say hes the izzy stradlin of the band

[MrShatmerman]

When I was listening to "Did I Let You Know", I got that Latin Feel...and then the trumpet and congas kicked in...WOWZA.

[sammymusicchick]

HEY!! Flea has kinda the same transparent bass in the background! Ha! Cool :D



[RockItOutBlog]

@sammymusicchick except mine is a guitar. But its made by the same company

[MultiAutomaton]

best of the decade... i love the new guitar.. did i let you know is great

[dizzyisme]

I actually enjoyed Klinghoffer's solos. I mean they weren't the best thing I've ever heard but I had no problem with them. I don't think they took anyway away from the album. Flea's basswork though is really the best thing about the album. I really dig the album as a whole though. It's my first RHCP album actually, and I'm planning on buying some of their earlier stuff now (even though I know the guitar work will be funkier, which I'm excited for). Yep. Good album!

[therearefreasamongus]

@dizzyisme I thought you were joking at first, but then I saw this is your first album. If you listen to their early stuff for awhile without listening to this, and go back to it, you'll think it's garbage.

[charliesmakinme]

Ok I swear it Flea who says "We're rolling everybody, it starts with bass"

But hey ho.... respectful review

[RockItOutBlog]

@charliesmakinme thanks very much.

[elquazi]

Beautiful review, very well done. Did not upset, RHCP still own the music with flawless precision. Great album. Eternally fixated on Red Hot Chili Peppers =)

[RockItOutBlog]

@elquazi gracias for the kind words

[Extremo3000]

SPOT ON

[RockItOutBlog]

@Extremo3000 thanks!

[senorjiveturkee]

The analogy of Kiedis sounding like a salesman on "Even you, Brutus" was perfect

[RockItOutBlog]

@senorjiveturkee I rock analogies all day!

[LittleMeFromGermany]

Well, there's absolutely nothing left to say! I love this review, you really spoke out of my mind! Thanks a lot! :-)

[RockItOutBlog]

@LittleMeFromGermany thanks for watching. I appreciate it

[DSakaiOnRye]

im considering unsubscribing

[RockItOutBlog]

@DSakaiOnRye so am I

[TaffyRaphie]

You're giving the NeedleDrop a run for his money...

[RockItOutBlog]

@TaffyRaphie nah we're buds. And he's the review king.

[am5395]

@TaffyRaphie lol not really needledrop for the most part reviews underground music, although riob is good its still mainstream rock news

[madsholthansen]

Great review man :)

[RockItOutBlog]

@madsholthansen thanks very much!

[rhcp484]

@RockItOutBlog So are you like...friends with Fantano?

[Eddbassist]

i'm sure the start of Ethiopia is flea going: we're rolling everybody, it starts with bass.. not chad ;) x

great review i agree with you totally, its missing johns funkiness but josh works it all in. Liking it so far, but much prefer their earlier stuff x

[magicjj7]

@Eddbassist yea its deff flea.

[SC86Canuck]

If you want to hear Josh sing on a john Frusciante solo track, check out the song "Ommission"

[elwulfo666]

john isnt that good of a guitarist...

[iamponer]

And on the review I pretty much agree with you on. And the only thing I didn't really like on the album, is like you say the solos from Josh. I like the idea of them that his not is overplaying in the solos or trying to be John. Is like his doing Anti solos. And like it, but it doesn’t really stick to you like Frusciante solos. But the solo/outro guitar in Goodbye Hooray is actually is pretty sick! 

[iamponer]

Fantastic review!! One the best I’ve seen (or read) on this album and overall. I really like that you don't give it a number or stars or anything! I hate that!! You can’t rate music like that. Thumps up for that and please keep on making reviews likes these!

[RockItOutBlog]

@iamponer thanks very much for the kind words. Also thanks for watching. You are loved!

[bluemonkeyinc]

It is growing on me

[kobeshaqkobe]

Exactlyyyy my thoughts. Imo, Californication and BSSM is better but other than that this is just as good as Stadium Arcadium and By The Way. I really like every song other than Happiness loves company. I like it more every day. I just hope to see some better guitar solos from Josh I think he has room for improvement but his abck vocals were amazing and his rhytm was just flawless.

Who else cannot wait for B-sides??

[hillbillygenius72]

I don't like klinghoffer :/ the rest of the band is more than good enough to make up for it but still

[bestmusiclists]

im digging the stuble

[RockItOutBlog]

@bestmusiclists i got rid of it. It itched

[TheJewishKoolAidMan]

in the beginning of ethiopia wasnt that flea that said that

[RockItOutBlog]

@TheJewishKoolAidMan i know i know.

[TheJewishKoolAidMan]

@RockItOutBlog ok thanks for clearing that up though, it was a good review i agree that josh was very subtle but hes been playing rhythm guitar for them and frusciante for years so thats what he is comfortable with.

[NetflixButFree]

Download Red Hot Chili Peppers "I'm With You" Album Free: filesonic(dot)com/file/1805033­374

[abar1204]

great review!!!! i feel the same way!! and on Even you Brutus, i feel his vocals are reminiscent of some of Bob Dylans vocals, especially in his song "Ballad of a Thin Man"

[Jaxter2798]

Frusciante is the one who left. They didnt leave him for Klinghoffer.

[raddeon101]

happiness love company has a huge Beatles influence. It sounds like Help with my little friends.

[SC86Canuck]

Oh yeah and one more thing...Sami, if IIIIIIIIIIIIF Anthony Kiedes loses his voice somehow you could totally do the "E I O I E I A," part in Ethiopia

[RockItOutBlog]

@SC86Canuck i plan on trying out for RHCP soon

[SC86Canuck]

Awesome album review by the way, keep doing them please

[RockItOutBlog]

@SC86Canuck I occasionally do them. They're not my specialty but thanks for watching

[SC86Canuck]

I just bought the new album, I love it &, I will say that I cannot rank Red Hot Chili Peppers albums. I listen to RHCPs songs according to what kind of mood I am in. & no matter what mood I am in, there is always a Chili Peppers song that will suite my mood. I doesn't matter if its a song from their first self titled album or "I'm With You" or which guitarist or drummer is playing on the song, or if you just wake up & have a Red Hot CHili Pepper kind of day. am I the only one who has RHCP days?

[rhcphallofame]

it's flea who says "were rolling everybody, it starts with bass"

[RockItOutBlog]

@KingofDrums19 WELCOMEWELCOMEWELCOMEWELCOME!!­!!

[animebaka129]

As far as the album goes, I absolutely love it!

[SetJENNAYYOff143]

SOOOO GOOODDD!!!! XD I just bought it!

[slowcheeta13]

dude nice review, still jealous you have had the album for a whole week! I thought it was time to post my approval for you and what you do. This new body of work from the chili peppers is awesome! Frusciante or not, i'm so glad the chili's have continued moving foward as a unit. This album is pretty fucking sweet to be honest, I feel flea had a lot to say with this. It's fucking incredible to hear his bass humping your face every song! Glad to see you back fellas!

[RockItOutBlog]

@slowcheeta13 thank you for watching. Enjoy the album

[dwelch4]

Thats just my list at the moment but it's changing all the time

[MonarchyTheLegend]

Lmfao, I'm subsribing dude. I totally agree with everything you said. I loved the whole album and love how they chose Josh and how he does a different job to the album.

[RockItOutBlog]

@MonarchyTheLegend welcome to the club! Thanks for watching and subbing!

[NightViewer00]

Hey Sami,

Another successful album review, but I'm surprised that you forgot to mention your Chinese Democracy album review as part of your review credentials (unless you're embarrassed about it).

I enjoyed the album greatly, and that's all I can say (granted I had to quickly adjust to the new guitarist's style within the band).

\m/ Rock It Out !

[rockmetaljunkie]

I think it is one of their top three along with Blood Sugar Sex Magic and Californication.

[dwelch4]

I'd rank it somewhere in the middle of their albums

[krishkule]

Definitely Subscribing! Great review! keep on doing what your doing!

I am glad that you mentioned the amazing bass solo on Goodbye Hooray!

[RockItOutBlog]

@krishkule thanks for joining the crew!

[JohnMaaayze]

@RockItOutBlog wow congratz on 35,000 subs man!!

[RockItOutBlog]

@JohnMaaayze thanks a lot!

[goodbadugly16]

Sammi on my channel i have 6 songs with/featuring klinghoffer; 4 with his side project dot hacker, 1 with ex-jane's bassist martyn lenoble, and his own cover of thelonious monster's 'anymore'. he's a talented motherfucker.

[RockItOutBlog]

@Rexworthy all good. Thanks for watching

[Rexworthy]

@RockItOutBlog Always :D

[SuperDestroya]

I for one love this album I mean yeah it's different but it's still good too many critics r hating on this album without giving them a chance I mean this album is trying to beat out today's crappy music of auto tune nd talentless losers

[anujsuvarna94]

I want that kind of wall

[anujsuvarna94]

How much posters are there in ur wall.whch is ur favorite

[MiniMousePoo2]

Arrrh youtube ahhh Internet !!! (Thumbs up if you agree!)

[stomie4]

i've never seen your channel before, so i ask myself 'why the fuck not!?'

great job man. had me hooked in the first minute, so keen for your radiohead and incubus reviews, watching them now :)

[RockItOutBlog]

@stomie4 thanks man! Welcome

[SadButTruee1991]

Fantastic review, Where did you listen to the tracks at?

[annarbor84]

Great review Sammi, please do more in the future!

[RockItOutBlog]

@annarbor84 i'll consider it

[GTIpleb]

this was an amazing review, and the first video ive watched of yours! I had the album up and checked out everything you pointed out in each song as the video went along and let me say everything you said was completely on point and true. I feel like this album ranks right up there with the funkyness of stadium arcadium and will be one of the best albums of the year. thank you for this review and consider me subcribed!

[RockItOutBlog]

@GTIpleb awesome! Welcome to the family

[killerchicken750]

Didn't Flea say "it starts with bass?"

[TheAdventures97]

RHCP were still "funky" when Hillel Slovak was guitarist! >:S

[sam169995]

Dude u forgot the Flea's trumpet solo in Did I Let you Know

and great review man :D

[patXross]

@sam169995 Haha thats because its not Flea :D Its a teacher at silver lake con.

[sam169995]

@patXross really??? ahhh but i think he'll play it when they perform it live

[q0zi]

Holy shit... this is their tenth album.

[RockItOutBlog]

@q0zi yup...it is

[demondude323]

I wasn't upset when John left because i knew Josh would bring something nice to the table, and i was excited to hear what he had to bring with guitar, and his backing vocals especially

[BigRockMusicFan]

@RockItOutBlog, one of the reasons why I don't have respect for Anthony Kiedis is because he cried when he watched the Justin Bieber movie, he cried tears of joy. I mean seriously, wtf. BEIBER IS NOT MUSIC. I will say it a thousand more times if I have to, and judging someone on their likes of music isn't necessarily right, but seriously....

[goodbadugly16]

@BigRockMusicFan the world may never know the subtlety of sir anthony kiedis' sarcasm.

[BigRockMusicFan]

@goodbadugly16 This is true..

[nivguyzuk]

sammi, i am with you

[JagannathMxO]

Is Klinghoffer's guitar the low point on the album, then?

[RockItOutBlog]

@JagannathMxO not at all! It's just different

[Andromelian]

Umm deleting my comment uh? Nice for you. Guys Check my channel for more on the RHCP. I have the Whole abum Uploaded just for you. Thanks

[RockItOutBlog]

@Andromelian I didn't delete any comments. Sometimes it happens automatically.

[Lyriks64]

but ya, great album way better then the crap from today's music. with probly only one or two that i didnt like. 

[Lyriks64]

josh 's vocals are best on the chorus of ethiopia

[Lyriks64]

pretty sure it was flea that said rollin starts w bass.... but whatever good review

[Jazzman1996]

you should do a review for Neighbourhoods - Blink 182 when it comes out :)
