As Happy as a Boy in a Magazine…
The Red Hot Chili Peppers feature in two new GB magazines prior to the release of their new album, Unlimited Love (due out April 1st, 2022).
RHCP feature on the cover of April’s Classic Rock magazine along with an in-depth feature, and Flea is on the cover of April’s Bass Player magazine also with a detailed interview – lots of mentions of John Frusciante in it.
Transcript and scans for information purposes only – please buy the magazines if possible:
Details to Purchase Magazines:
Classic Rock is available widely in Britain (I got mine from my local Tesco; £5.99) but it can be ordered from their website HERE
I ordered Bass Player from the magazine website HERE (other companies are selling it but they cost more. I paid £4.99 and that included UK postage; there are different options on the website which were cheaper but involved a subscription or were digital whereas I wanted a one-off paper copy to keep).
RHCP New Song! Poster Child
The new RHCP song, Poster Child, taken from the album Unlimited Love (to be released in April), is being released world wide- it seems to be going live around the world as countries hit midnight (so you might not be able to hear it yet depending on where you live). People in Australia and New Zealand were the first to be able to listen to it.
This is the best I can do with the lyrics! Not sure about ‘YOLO’ in the chorus but I can’t think of anything else that fits!
RHCP: Poster Child Lyrics
Melle Mel and Richard Hell were dancing at the Taco Bell
When someone heard a rebel yell, I think it was an infidel
Adam Ant and Robert Plant were centre of a sycophant
Used to buy Ulysses Grant to record at the Record Plant
Islamabad is on the nod, Havana at the riot squad
And if you want to be a Mod, you’ll have to meet me at the quad
You got the best of my loco
I’ll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I’ll take the rest of your YOLO?
Parliam?nt’s Atomic Dog, that hats were filling up a fog
We talk about th? life and death of everything he ever loved
The seventies were such a win, singing the Led Zeppelin
Lizzy lookin’ mighty thin, the Thompson’s had another twin
I thought I won the lottery, the numbers never thought of me
Ramones had a lobotomy, so spin me like a pottery
I will be your poster child
You know the world is ours for a little while
And then I will be your poster child tonight, ow
La-da-da-da, bum-bum-budum
A funky piece, the Sandinista!, me and minor Mona Lisa
Judas Priest has whipped the beast, the mother love was named Theresa
Bubble gum, a cup of soup, dirty dandy nanda? loop
A small banana in your hoop, and now I know the band is…
Bernie Mac and Caddyshack were dusty as the bric-a-brac
And if you ask me for the time, I tell you that the preacher’s back
You got the best of my loco
I’ll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I’ll take the rest of your YOLO?
Steve Miller and Duran Duran, the joker dancing in the sand
Van Morrison – the Astral Man – the festival of hurricanes
Speak of Chico and the Man, the silence of a certain lamb
Dixie Pops kick out the jam, a poncho full of contraband
Mary Queen was on the scene on every preteen magazine
The Motörhead and mystic queen, I must’ve needed Valvoline
I will be your poster child
You know the world is ours for a little while
And then I will be your poster child tonight
La-da-da-da, bum-bum-budum
You got me on this
But then I can’t get off
With no one else but you
You turn me on too
Well, then I can’t get up, ooh
For no one else but you
Cream magazine, a love supreme, the ballad of a Billie Jean
And now we know the Status Quo, but God would never save the queen
David Mushegain, Copenhagen, cop a ghost of Ronald Reagan
All I say was Flavor Flav the cosmic rays were power saving
And my fist double kissed a listed number purple
Mr Chubby Checker do the twist, and everyone’s a narcissist
You got the best of my loco
I’ll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I’ll take the rest of your YOLO?
The waterbed was takin’ meds, a beaver with the house of red… a pocket full of Talking Heads
MIA? is making paper planes, addiction to the ways of Janes
My stuff is made of purple rain, ten fingers in the lion’s mane
Giant squid, Karate Kid, Sid Vicious and the… we did
The planet that we must…
I will be your poster child
You know the world is ours for a little while
And then I will be your poster child tonight
I will be your poster child
You know the world is ours for a little while
And then I will be your poster child tonight
Thanks to Nicolette and everyone else who has helped fine-tune the lyrics!
NME Interview with RHCP
“Flea had put the idea [of rejoining] in my head,” he continues, “and I was sitting there with the guitar thinking that I hadn’t written any rock music in so long. Could I still do that?”
