JAKARTA - The main inspiration behind the great Red Hot Chili Peppers album is about having fun. From day one, Anthony Kiedis' stream, combined with the great energy of Flea behind the bass, produced some of the most electrical appearances in rock history, when the band made a breakthrough to become a music legend with masterpieces like Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

When the band began to reunite everything after John Frusciante's departure, RHCP got one of their biggest hits by listening to the dark side of rock music.

Compared to their spirit of magnum opus, Californication is a much more nuanced album. Because RHCP members had to cope with severe drug addiction before the album's creation began, many songs reflected the weathering attitude, ranging from the work of Drugs Kiedis, Otherside, to the softer voice of Porcelain and Road Trippin. closer.

Although RHCP has never been known as one of the world's most liquefactory bands, the title of the song has massive criticism of what California means in the minds of people living in Hollywood. Shaped in Kiedis' head while writing lyrics, the song has a series of lyrics depicting what is happening on the outskirts of American society, where a person's dreams can be achieved instantly and snatched away only moments later.

Far Out Magazine's Coffman team revealed that although the song had a good foundation to work on, Frusciante was unable to find any musical backbone that matched it. When he left the band, the guitarist began to restore the situation, overcome heroin addiction and had to rebuild his ability due to the huge impact of the drug on his rarity and motor skills.

Although this band is famous for its high-energy songs, Frusciante found the key to the song by listening to the minimalist production of The Cure. When discussing the creation of the song, Frusciante recalled, "I'm listening to this song, the instrumental is 25 minutes long. If you listen, it sounds exactly like Californication. It's a different tone, but the rhythm is the same, the feeling is the same."

The song in question, entitled Carnage Visors, is part of the initial collection of the song Cure since their third album, Faith. Featuring a long and protracted electronic series spread over 28 minutes, the main synthesizer style is almost taken word after word for RHCP guitar figure.

Because this is the first time the band has worked on music that is related to serious subject matter, surprisingly Robert Smith's voice is working very well. By keeping its arrangements rare, Frusciante's smooth guitar kinks allow the bass Fleet to do most of the heavy weight, adding little progress as Kiedis begins warning Hollywood star candidates about what they're going to face.

Fursciante will say that The Cure stands out very much in most projects, explaining, For me, music in Californication, is largely influenced by The Cure, and there are no critics discussing it. These are Seventeen Seconds and Faith. Both albums affect Flea and myself when we make Californication, and I often hear those albums when listening to them again.

Although theAT energy from RHCP is felt the most distant from post-punk artistic and goth rock, Frusciante's clean guitar tone won't feel strange in Robert Smith's early work, having the same atmospheric quality. in songs like A Forest. RHCP may have a rock twist, but anyone who wants to touch their emotions will take something from The Cure, whether they notice it or not.
