Red Hot Chilli Peppers, old ground?

So, with evidence that Dani California had its introduction copied from that Tom Petty song, some people are rasing their eyebrows at the creativity of this band.

But I've just listened to another one of their songs, which is apparently new.

It's called "Tell Me Baby" and in my opinion it's pretty much the same as "Can't Stop" Not chord wise or anything, but the style, short fast lyrics etc
Made me think, come on guys, we've heard this all before, do something fresh.

I could just be talking ballwhacky, but have a listen.

It doesn't occur to you that the reason some of their stuff sounds the same to their older stuff is that it's because they're the same band? I mean come off it, they're going to have the same style. If you really want the band to suddenly sound totally unique from their older material, you'd need to throw a spanner in the works like a new guitarist for example.
I don't think I'm making much sense at the moment because I'm tired but "Tell Me Baby" sounds nothing like "Can't Stop".

Loads of bands are able to keep their own style without making songs that sound the same as their older ones. Like I said, the chords and stuff aren't really the same, but the way Can't Stop was sung and played had that quick paced on the button delivery of the lyrics. Nice style, but don't do it again, make a song that has their own style, but not something that we've heard before. Be creative, come up with new ideas to incorporate into that style, that's what their job is afterall

also, stop listening to the radio.

My mp3 player wasn't in the car and I had a 40 min drive.

Acceptable?

If you found my post aggressive I'm sorry, it was meant to be tongue in cheek, because after all I'm on the same level with you on the radio thing. It's a last resort a lot of the time.
