Het tweede wapenfeit van I'm With You van de Red Hot Chili Peppers is de single 'Monarchy of Roses', een half getekende videoclip geregiseerd door Marc Klasfeld en gebaseerd op het werk van Raymond Pettibon, woonachtig in Los Angeles.
Bassist Flea - de meest spraakzame van het viertal - had in ieder geval dit te zeggen: “The Monarchy of Roses video features the art of the beautiful artist Raymond pettibon. He is an artist I have loved since I was a teenager. His art was first seen as part of the hardcore punk rock scene in LA around 1980. He has since gone on to have a transcendently beautiful and dynamic art career. Raymond pettibon means a lot to us we are honored to have made this collaboration with him.”
De video is - zelfs naar RHCP maatstaven - vrij episch, en te zien hieronder.
