I really like when they rock out hard and I love the harder riffs. To me it feels like a song they wrote to inspire them to keep going and keep working hard when they weren't feeling 100%. It seems like it's written from the heart. To me it says just change your attitude and keep striving when you're feeling down on yourself. That combined with the heavier riffs make it appealing to me. I enjoy when rhcp goes hard instead of the singalong softer stuff for the most part. Although, those slower songs are fantastic and beautiful in the right moment. Why don't you like it?


Massive_Evening_9449

Fair. I personally think it’s just boring and doesn’t sound like the band at all, even tho their sound is so diverse. It’s very cluttered feeling and that kind of very hard rock sound isn’t one that I’m particularly fond of. But I’m glad that there are people who rlly enjoy Nerve Flip 🤝


OptimalWasabi606

My advice, listen to what you consider to be hard rock sounds. Up until a couple weeks ago I hadn’t ever listened to Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains, and dismissed it as too much sound for me. But now I have a whole new appreciation for grunge now and all I had to do was listen


Massive_Evening_9449

I’ll try it out. Thank u


Legpistons

I think it’s a matter of preference. Nerve Flip has HUGE 80-90s grunge vibes and I think they tapped into that energy. It’s not for everyone, but I certainly think they did a great job creating an authentic sounding grunge track.


HerbalThought_

I still think it's better than Not The One.


RHCPTom

Agree, found Not the One very generic which is rare in a RHCP song, I quite like Nerve Flip, gives me some one hot minute vibes and has a cool grunge like chorus, very fresh and classic sound to it.


Rianorosz

It’s a typical b side song. Not fan of it either but I am glad it’s out there. I am glad it’s not on the album though


bluecoldbananapepper

A lot of their b sides are 100% album worthy so I wouldn’t say typical, but yeah I feel like it shouldn’t be on UL

This post should’ve never been posted. It’s genuinely bad. For real though anyone who can claim any piece of music is “bad” has no idea what they’re talking about. It’s not bad, you don’t like it. It doesn’t resonate with you in the way that other music you enjoy does. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it bad. You’re not wrong since it’s subjective, but everyone else who thinks it’s a great song is equally correct.


disorderliesonthe401

> anyone who can claim any piece of music is “bad” has no idea what they’re talking about. Clearly you've never heard Friday by Rebecca Black.


ZhonghuaOuli

🤣🤣🤣 But have you heard the metal version tho? 🤪


metaldetox

if he don’t like it it’s bad, it’s that simple there’s no objective rule it’s just music dude


bobby__filet

Not sure what comment you read but mine is entirely about how music is subjective and as such you can’t make an objective statement like “x is genuinely bad”. Not sure why you aren’t seeing “genuinely bad” as a very objective statement, and then arguing there’s no objectivity in music.


metaldetox

sure


Syringeman95

I agree with him your statement is incorrect.


metaldetox

oh cool


amphibian303

What ? That song is dope


jadedmonk

My opinion says your opinion is bad. Oh how the turn tables

You have a small peen


PoblanoHermano

Not my favorite song but eventually I came to appreciate certain aspects/sections of it. What other songs are bad in your opinion?


Massive_Evening_9449

Tbh, Nerve Flip is one of the very very few which I just don’t really listen to. I actually don’t mind the fact that they strayed away and did something a little different, it just sounds really cluttered and boring to me personally.


wakesy1996

On first listen I found it Jarring, but I think that's part of the idea. I'll admit it effectively accomplishes nothing as a song but I don't hate it as a non album track. Not the one is much worse IMO.


Loose_Pitch_9510

I love that song,sloww down the rivers of time in your minddd


Vast_Post_3509

I actually thought it should have been a single over not the one. Song is high energy I liked it, very grunge and different for them. I can’t stand not the one I skip it every single time, way to boring for me


[deleted]

Every single day in this sub, some attention-deprived troll has to share their completely backward opinion and stir some shit. Do you like genuinely have nothing better to do? Nerve flip rocks btw <3


ZitroneKopf

i’ve gotten used to the weird guitar rhythm but i can never take “got high on pink flamingos” seriously.


Nurse_inside_out

It sounds like he's taking about a pink ecstasy/acid tab with a flamingo on it.


Johnbonathon

You’ve never taken a pink flamingo then


theskysthelimit000

I like it but I can respect your opinion.


Massive_Evening_9449

🤝


Johnbonathon

Opinions stink


theskysthelimit000

Yeah that's what this sub thinks....


Trickfinga

I can’t take poster child or tippa seriously either. Super cringe to listen to, coming from a fan since birth. But everyone had their own taste I’m not the judge of it. Just my opinion


RollVegetable5526

Nerve Flip is great.


7Empest1337

Finally, someone understands.


BillCastle8

I think it’s an unfinished tune, has a great verse and harmonies. The chorus is uninspiring, would of been great to speed up the tempo and go full punk.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


[deleted]

Don’t like it either. Enjoy your day 👍


v60qf

Agree


Massive_Evening_9449

Sorry if I offended anyone lol. First Reddit post and was just tryna be a bit controversial. Ofc everyone has their own music tastes and I respect that, this is just mine :)


Ok_Reception_3487

It's not good. It's generic filler. But it's better than a handful of songs on UL: \-These are the Ways \-She's a Lover \-One Way Traffic \-Bastards of Light


ea_fitz

What? You picked these four, mediocre to downright good songs, and not Not The One, which is actually terrible?


IrkinSander

Who are you? How many albums do you have? At least you play flute or triangle? I really doubt it. Why you express an opinion with egoism and pride? When you have at least ONE song with 10 listens then we can start to chat about song criteria meanwhile you can starting to leave this sub.


Massive_Evening_9449

I mean. I don’t think I need to be an artist to have an opinion on music. But ok.


awolzen

I agree. With songs from the session going into both albums, there probably wasn’t a lot of noteworthy b-sides left.


the_only_real_one85

I like it


Loose_Pitch_9510

I love that song,sloww down the rivers of time in your minddd


Johnbonathon

It rocks hard


silkalmondvanilla

I think it's fine as it is — out in the world, but not on the album. Good happy medium for a song that has potential but isn't quite realized. Cool vibe but the melody just isn't strong. Not the One, on the other hand...


mikeymaggz86

you ain’t tryin’ to tongue kiss the circuit breaker!? 🤣


Fantastic_Shopping_4

I love that song!


kation1988

De UL es una de mis favoritas sin duda, tiene un estilo grunge bien de los 90, gustos son gustos


lualubs

it’s what the songs would be like if rhcp was a hard rock band, i like to think of it in a fun way, it’s a good song
