Red Hot Chili Peppers x Raymond Pettibone

This is where I put myself out on a limb, by stating that I don't care for for this song in the least...so, don't even consider trying to state how valuable the RHCP are to to industry or why they're the best band in the world or some other life changing statement...because I don't care.

Please, boys and girls, don't get your panties in a bunch. I no longer care for the music the RHCP produce, and that's just my opinion...and as we all know, assholes and opinions, we all have them!

I am posting this video so one reason, Raymond Pettibon. That's all. That's it. Hit the play button. Mute the volume...and view. Have a nice day. Smooches!
