"The Heavy Wing" from the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album 'Unlimited Love' is out now! Get the Album at rhcp.lnk.to/unlimitedlove #redhotchilipeppers #unlimitedlove #rhcp
This is such a John Frusciante song. The chorus vocals give you the shivers, the electronic bridge is amazing and the guitar shreds throughout the track. Top 3 of the album at least.
It didn't take 16 songs to realize John was back but when his vocals kicked in during this one, I knew the boys were together as they were meant to be!
My dad passed away in late 2019, shortly before the pandemic hit. He was a massive die-hard fan of the Chili Peppers and I grew up with their stuff playing all the time in the 90's. BSSM was like a gospel at our place. I'm a fan as well, have been for 15 years. Listening to this gives me so many emotions. On one hand I feel like this album is probably my fave since OHM or even BSSM, but on the other hand this is the first time and album my dad doesn't get to hear it. He would've loved to see John back in the band again. Listening for both of us now. Thank you RHCP and thanks dad! Edit: Thank you for all the likes and nice comments! I hope everyone has a nice day!
I share a somewhat similar experience... My uncle was who brought their existence to life for me. They were his favorite band, and music was his life. He was hit and run by a drunk driver in 1992... he didn't love BSSM, but my last memory with him was riding around in his truck while he screamed "BLOOD SUGAR BABY, SHE HAS IT..." to cars that we passed. He never got to see what happened after they made it BIG and John left, came back, left and so on lol I always listen and wonder what he would think about their songs that have come since his passing, and, in a way, I feel like that is the truest sense of keeping him alive. I pray and hope that you can feel your father living "with" you, listening to this amazing new material, simultaneously as you continue this journey. Life is but a dream.
💖 grew up listening to them Too. A lifetime of memories. I never had anything in common with my dad and he’s dying now, I wish had memories like that bit he was always too busy for me. But music like rhcp Got me through my lonely life 💖 cheers your dad sounds awesome, I hope you carry that with you
@@NoChrReq it sounds like Anthony to me, with a second voice by John. Anthony did not pull it off the few times they played it live with Josh though. In the studio A. managed, I think. In the heavy wing it‘s clearly one John in the chorus
@@masterobio616 there's literally minus 3 quatrillion chance for anthony to sing these high notes, be it live or in the studio. anyway it's already clear that it's john. if you want to get a better look at it, go check the john's backing vocals only version. its on youtube.
This song is such a perfect blend of the Chili Peppers we know and love with John's mid-late 00's solo records like Shadows Collide with People and The Empyrean. Absolutely adore it.
I think the same. John is already a genre in itself. His sound is stunning in the chorus and all these incredible synths are something that absolutely captures you.
Yeah exactly, theres quite a few moments on this album that give me John Frusciante solo album vibes, not as much as this track obviously! Brilliant album
Totally Agree ... I find them inspiring ... so I picked up my gear and bashed out ' Space Boy - Maggie is Hurting me' ... Thanks guys it was so liberating.
My jaw dropped when I heard the Chorus. What a wonderful way to Show respect to John . Cant wait to see this live, when everybody joins the Chorus to carry John in His was Back in the Stadiums! Great Song
Heavy wing is one of the best songs on this album it has so much of John's sound on his solo albums I just get goosebumps from his vocals on the chorus.
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457 I agree with you, Anthony has great vocals, but John's singing gives me goosebumps. I think John's backing vocals complement Anthony's singing really well.
I cant believe people were predicting this album to fail. So many great songs to come out of this album, including Black Summer Here Ever After Aquatic Mouth Dance Not the One Poster Child The Great Apes It's Only Natural She's a Lover These Are the Ways Whatchu Thinkin' Bastards of Light White Braids & Pillow Chair One Way Traffic Veronica Let 'em Cry The Heavy Wing Tangelo Nerve Flip
@@RighteousBrother many fans who thought Frusciante might not have it in anymore. They were in their right to think that because the guy had not written a rock song in a long time. Even I thought that but I’m glad they proved us so wrong.
@@FreakinRican6969I said classic era. This is the classic lineup for sure, but not the classic era. They are WAY past their prime…though this is a really good album! Love the heaviness on this particular track…
Hands down my most favorite song on the album! This is such an intense and magical song! John really brings it to life both lyrically and musically and I cried the first time I heard it! Thank you, John for this beautiful moment in time! ♡
The Heavy Wing brings out not only every passion and emotion from the band - especially Anthony and John, here - but it does the same to me. Cannot wait for the Frugasm that will happen when this is played live. This is like a song off of By The Way crashing into a song off of The Empyrean, and creating a cosmic blast of celestial birth. There is not a bad/filler song on the album, but The Heavy Wing has elevated me.
@@jd0879 you could say that about literally every single one of their albums, do you either like the peppers and appreciate the mechanics of their deep tracks or you don’t
If five years ago someone had told me that a) John would rejoin the Peppers b) they would create beatiful songs like this one again and c) I would see it live in Barcelona... I would've thought it was impossible... Dreams do come true...
Golden light streamin’ from your eyes Give me a piece of the real thing And I live with you this life Stripped and clean, a restless wolverine An eloquent part of the whole dance And I stray Tell the whole world to slow down We gotta get off and we gotta go ‘round Tell the whole world to roll down The window is broken, forever unspoken Only whenever Oh, I know that it’s only gold And I come slow now for evеrything The heavy wing Oh, I know that it’s only gold And I bleed into your pleasantriеs The memory A chemistry Death to rise, subtraction of advice The criminal ties of my rival And I’ll roll these dice Cold supply, scraping to get by Blatantly flooding the low rise And I’ll throw this dice Trace me now through your innocence Tell me it’s part of the program I started Space me now through your citizens Tell me it’s part of the whole plan now Bringing my slow hand Oh, I know that it’s only gold And I come slow now for everything The heavy wing Oh, I know that it’s only gold And I bleed into your pleasantries The memory A chemistry Oh, I know that it’s only gold And I come slow now for everything The heavy wing Oh, I know that it’s only gold And I bleed into your pleasantries The memory A chemistry
I always thought he was meant to say "Give me a piece of the real pie" I was always thought to myself This implies the existence of a fake pie But I'm glad I saw the lyrics
They should let john sing choruses on his own more often. It's a cool dynamic, Anthony for verses, blended co vocals in the bridge & let john erupt in the chorus.
imagine the role-distribution in that situation. frusciante is doing backup-vocals, chorus, guitar-playing and kiedies would only sing the verse. this would lead to a conflict. it's good to have frusciante doing the chorus, but this can't be a norm.
[Verse 1] Golden light Streamin' from your eyes Give me a piece of the real thing And I live with you this life Stripped and clean A restless wolverine An eloquent part of the whole dance And I stray [Pre-Chorus] Tell the whole world to slow down We gotta get off and we gotta go 'round Tell the whole world to roll down The window is broken, forever unspoken Only whenever [Chorus] Oh, I know that it's only gold And I come slow now for evеrything The heavy wing Oh, I know that it's only gold And I bleed into your pleasantriеs The memory Chemistry [Verse 2] Death to rise Subtraction of advice The criminal ties of my rival And I'll roll these dice Cold supply Scraping to get by Blatantly flooding the low rise And I'll throw this dice [Pre-Chorus] Trace me now through your innocence Tell me it's part of the program I started Space me now through your citizens Tell me it's part of the whole plan now Bringing my slow hand [Chorus] Oh, I know that it's only gold And I come slow now for everything The heavy wing Oh, I know that it's only gold And I bleed into your pleasantries The memory Chemistry [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Oh, I know that it's only gold And I come slow now for everything The heavy wing Oh, I know that it's only gold And I bleed into your pleasantries The memory Chemistry
In this song John responds by saying yes I'm back with everything. I will bear this heavy wing even if it bleeds. Because of this chemistry and this memory. John answered in the chorus and the second chorus was more convincing with an over tone chorus. I think the content of this song is like that. Great Song!!! Love It!
Frusciante at its best. The sing in the chorus, the arrangement, the tease of electronic sound in the break... my god!!🔥. For me, this is the best song from this album. 👏 👏
A powerful, emotional, and truly epic finale to this beautiful album. Everything comes full circle with the rockingly massive chorus, which drives the album home and cements the return of John Frusciante. Evokes a similar feeling like Wet Sand does in Stadium Arcadium. Guitar intro is also reminiscent of Funkadelic. I truly have unlimited love for the boys.
Never thought I'd see the day RHCP reminded me of Queens of the stone age. Fucking so great to have Frusciante back, Some of the most old school sounding shit in years. He is a special weapon
@ARTV Rogue Good ear 😆 I have to listen to the rest yet, but the melodies, strange breaks, and even some of the vocals timing/ attitude it's almost like....like clockwork.
After so many years... Finally. Thank you for still being here for us. I love you guys, you really make my life better. I am eternally grateful with you.
The layers to this song though! Lovely intro, great melody and vocals, and it's a powerhouse instrumental all around with heavenly guitar. What a time to be RHCP fan!
My favotire song of the album. You can't make better. The melody, the drive, the soulfoulnes. Amazing. Best from John Frusciante. I am so glad he is back....
I love Anthony's voice so much, but John is so sweet as second- voice. The band is so amazing and magical. All the year's they have a great level. RHCP are so gorgeous. Love forever. 👌💓💓💓💓
the feedback sound in this song is absolutely beautiful. it's an amazing example of how to get the feedback sound, flawless guitar and amp control, I love you so much John.
literally he used feedback SO effectively on this album its insane. Like pushing the limits of what u can do with a guitar which im sure was informed by his many years of doing electronic music. Also, acheiving these sounds without doing boring "shredder" type shit on the guitar, like it just all sounds so good!
RHCP IS ARE TOO DOPE FOR WORDS. They have kept their sound original over 20 plus years and Unlimited Love and this song is just their next effortless masterpiece. Bro, John Frusciante having a large chunk of the vocals in this song MADE IT. Reminds me of his solo work which I've loved since Shadows Collide With People.
This song is such an absolute banger. There aren't many bands that have lasted 40 years, and even fewer who are just as potent today as they were then.
I actually had shivers down my spine, I’m so so happy that John is back, I love that man so freaking much 💖 long life to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, they made my whole month, my whole year actually, I couldn’t be happier. Thank you. Thank you. Begging to God they’ll have dates for the tour in LATAM. 🇲🇽💖 We love you, guys!
Its amazing man indeed! Love both UL and ROTDC. Both are exceptional albums! In this one Flea and Chad shine more and in ROTDC mostly Anthony and John (John not for superb solos but mostly for crazy, unique and experimemtal elements he added) sooooo good!!!
I went to see them in London last Friday and they played this... I loved this track already but holy crap it sounded so much better live! Especially the chorus. It absolutely hit!
Fucking hell. Grown ass man crying, haha. This really hit the heart and soul man :) the comfort and relief I felt from that was insane. Thank you chili's ❤
@@AllOuttaBubblegum123 ah man it's a great feeling isn't it. Hope you've enjoyed the album man. Was like a big hug haha. This band has accompanied me through my best and worst times fucking long live the chili's.
@@connortpb3900 We would be friends! I cannot tell you how much John and the Chillis work means to me. It's a great source of joy to me to realise there are others out there that feel the same way!
They should totally go double vocals, I would love them to have many songs like this where John takes a kind of lead vocal from time to time! it's so good!
I believe that this song pretty much describes the Chili Peppers, as it mixes everything that RHCP is known for, funk, the laid back instrumentals that played every time the song returned to the verses, not to mention the heaviness of the chorus that the Chili Peppers is known to have... Plus the techno - sounding bridge that lead to the gritty beautiful guitar riff the John is known for. I'd say that this song mainly provokes the same emotions that every RHCP album from end of the 80s - now provoked through their albums.
Esa transición de sentir la calma con la voz de kiedis y de repente llevarte a la locura con la voz y guitarra de John es lo máximo! Qué bueno que volviste John!!! Todos te amamos!!!
Brings tears... when John sings. Fuck I'm 42. Waited for him to get back so long. Don't get me wrong listed to his solo stuff. But t h is is the boys together again )
I can’t even begin so say how amazing it is to finally hear John sing lead on a song again and the sounds from his solo work make it so satisfying to listen! 🎸🎤🎶🔥
who introduced me to music: my dad who loved rhcp the most: me and dad who died of pancreatic cancer: my dad whose memory will never fade: my dad love you dad
