Watch Red Hot Chili Peppers' Video for "Monarchy of Roses"

The Red Hot Chili Peppers just released their second single from newest album I’m with You: “Monarchy of Roses.” The psychedelic disco-funk song follows the success of lead single “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie,” which is still sitting high on the alternative rock charts.

In conjunction with the release of “Monarchy of Roses” as a single, the Red Hot Chili Peppers also released a music video for the song, in which the band plays in a black-and-white world stylized like a surrealistic comic book. The artistic nature of the video is in sharp contrast with the live performance-centric video for “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie.”

In the video, Anthony Kiedis, Flea and company rock out amid a continually morphing landscape littered with everything from tidal waves to choo-choo trains to strippers to devil marionettes to abstract, poetic text (and, of course, roses). The video credits the writings of Raymond Pettibon as the band’s chief inspiration.
