De i forvejen fantastiske nyheder toppes af endnu én - nemlig at guitarist John Frusciante vender tilbage i bandets line-up. Frusciante har i høj grad været med til at definere bandets unikke stil og været en essentiel hjørnesten i bandets kompositioner under deres allermest succesfulde udgivelser. Unlimited Love markerer således første optagelser med Frusciante siden 2006. Samspillet mellem bandet grænser endnu en gang til intergalaktisk - men alligevel forhøjet til en helt ny stratosfære. Unlimited Love repræsenterer den forenede ånd af fire individuelle sjæle, der stadig frygtløst udforsker fremtiden for deres evige venskab og musikalske samarbejde.Red Hot Chili Peppers udtaler:"Our only goal is to get lost in the music. We (John, Anthony, Chad and Flea) spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another, to make the best album we could. Our antennae attuned to the divine cosmos, we were just so damn grateful for the opportunity to be in a room together, and, once again, try to get better. Days, weeks and months spent listening to each other, composing, jamming freely, and arranging the fruit of those jams with great care and purpose. The sounds, rhythms, vibrations, words and melodies had us enrapt. We yearn to shine a light in the world, to uplift, connect, and bring people together. Each of the songs on our new album UNLIMITED LOVE, is a facet of us, reflecting our view of the universe. This is our life's mission. We work, focus, and prepare, so that when the biggest wave comes, we are ready to ride it. The ocean has gifted us a mighty wave and this record is the ride that is the sum of our lives. Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoy it. ROCK OUT MOTHERFUCKERS!"John Frusciante uddyber:"When we started writing material, we began by playing old songs by people like Johnny "Guitar" Watson, The Kinks, The New York Dolls, Richard Barrett and others. Ever so gradually, we started bringing in new ideas, and turning jams into songs, and after a couple of months the new stuff was all we were playing. The feeling of effortless fun we had when we were playing songs by other people, stayed with us the whole time we were writing. For me, this record represents our love for, and faith in each other."
