On April 1st, 2022 the Red Hot Chili Peppers wheezed out their latest studio effort, Unlimited Love officially ushering in the third act for guitarist John Frusciante with the Souther California act.
Some loved the album, and some hate it, but one thing is certain, for the Chili Pepper’s first official world tour with John Frusciante since the 2007 Stadium Arcadium Tour, the foursome brought the hits, the deep cuts, and yes, some new fodder too.
For attendees at the Chili Peppers kickoff show on 6/4/2022, in Seville, Spain, “Soul To Squeeze,” and “Scar Tissue” were two of the more fun highlights. You view the band in action below:
