Has anyone heard the complete version of Dani, California the new single from RHCP. I have only heard snipets but it sounds great, very Chili Pepperish but still different. As well I am reading the book Scar Tissue written by Anthony Kiedis. It is a great read for any fan of the band. He has done alot of crazy stuff in his life. Has anyone else read this book?

I've skimmed through that book a couple of times. Didn't Cher used to babysit him when he was a kid? Apparently his father worked in the entertainment industry and was friends with numerous celebrities.

i like the new tune after the first listen. Video's kinda cool as well but I don't really care about videos so much these days.
I read the book last year as well, dude did a lot of heroin. Crazy childhood as well. Getting high with dad and having him pay for a hooker to pop your cherry's a crazy way to get a start in life.

I found this interesting:

Red Hot Chili Peppers To Release Different Versions Of Album
In previous interviews, including ones with Q Magazine and NME, Anthony Kiedis has told about how the Red Hot Chili Peppers had 38 tracks and that 24 or 25 would be on the upcoming double album, Stadium Arcadium.
"Slow Cheetah," "Storm in a Tea Cup," "Hard to Concentrate," "C'mon Girl," "Ready Made" and "Desecration Smile" are just a few of the titles that survived the process and will be on every copy of Stadium Arcadium.
As previously announced, the first single & video will be for "Dani California". AK said the director of the video will be Tony Kaye, who directed "American History X." The video will be character driven about Dani the girl, who has made appearances on the previous 2 Chili Peppers albums.
But what to do with the 12 or 13 songs that don't make the album?
Bonus tracks.
Each retail site will get a different version of the album with a different "bonus song". Local, small record stores will get one, iTunes will get one, Wal Mart will get one, etc.
"We're going to try and do that with the independent record stores across America, and for all the monster chains," he said. "We'll service everybody with a different bonus track, because we have them."
According to the band's management company, Stadium Arcadium is due May 9 in the states. [/quote]

I think the song is pretty good, even though it is a little too mainstream. This is probably just because to get any airtime on stations like Much, they had to release a fairly pop-like single. Also, the video leaves something to be desired, but I love the Nirvana reference, doing the MTV Unplugged.

I'm not gonna lie, that was awful... The Chilis have done so much better... The video was ok, not great, but ok... But I really don't like the song...
