Most uncool. The song was always a little raunchy but no-one would call it uncool in the biker bars on the Jersey shore, or Maryland for that matter. These songs were elegaic, about real people, and at the time, very, very cool... music to dance to,and to love. MY MAN IN THE DIAPER AND THE WHIRLY GIG BEANIE... YOU NEED TO SHOW SOME RESPECT. FOR THE FINE OLD TUNES
wow,, whatever happened to perforemers and entertainers having class. Goodbye james bond, goodbye frank sinatra, goodbye class act. Enter asshole wearing a diaper with a beany hat.. and people pay to see this. Pretty sad commentary. Guess i wont`be seeing any of these asshole crowd members at teh next debutante ball.
I use to hate covers, especially ones of songs that I love..but this is a good cover done by a great band. Anthony's way of singing it is a bit different then the original obviously but he did a good job on it, Red Hot Chili Peppers as a whole did well on this song. I dont like people redoing this song but they did a wonderful job on it and all the haters can bite my left ass cheek. So with that said, peace.
i love the fact that you all bitch about how he cant sing but if you were singing nearly everyday im pretty sure youd be alot worse and i would be the first to fucking abuse you becuase you must be a complete cunt to go on videos just to say how bad others are :L so basicly go fuck yourself :)
The who, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, ACDC, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Cheap Trick, Par Benatar, Aerosmith, Heart.. I can go on and on and on. Bands that sound like the record, live.
And you're defending a crap genre of music that lasted maybe 3 years? Anthony Kiedis couldn't sing live if his life depended on it. He owes what lil career he has to some sound engineer. "Garage Bands" LOL
What a freakin' butcher job. Stick to your own songs, thats what you're great at. Very disappointed, I thought they would have done a better job of it.
@RedBeardTattoo and mrrippinbongs, i know this version is really horrible, try to find the other version of brandy, it's super great really! anthony does a great job on vocals there :) just thought you should check it out.
wow anthony really goofed up the lyrics in the middle. although i think he realized it, and recovered quite nicely. great song, awesome cover, good performance!
Comparing this cover to the 'Looking Glass' original is kinda missing the point imo. I love that the RHCP would choose this track to cover in the first place. It's a bonus for me that they've made a pretty decent job of it. Any band that can cover Public Enemy and Looking Glass (that also features a bass-player performing in his underpants and a pin-wheel hat) gets my vote.
are you shiting me? Chad= the best drummer of the world. he plays like drum-machine. Flea= masterly bassguitarist. John= god of guitar. Anthony= legendary singer. And you dare to assert that some looking glass is better????
Looking Glass was the band that ORIGINALLY played this song. Skill on the instruments have nothing to do with it - if you listen to the lyrics you'll be able to tell that this song was not meant to be played the way Red Hot plays it. I respect Red Hot as a band, but they should've left this song alone.
Anthony is a lyric-legend more. OK, my bad. But you can tell me who´s the best drummer in your opinion because Chad is even in Guiness book(that´s only about his skills).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
anthony is tone-deaf. the only one who has stayed true to their live act of the 80's is Flea. Anthony has forgotten who he is as a preformer and I think that the Chili Peppers have lost something. I think it would do them all a world of good to break out their Black Flag and Fear albums and give them a listen instead of listening to Looking Glass.
this performance doesn't indicate what all of the chili peppers shows are like. i think they have much more energy when they perform their original material....and anthony really hasn't lost anything...he only gets better and better.
Fuck punk rock narrow mindedness. When it comes to music, often times people into punk or metal are the most ignorant closed minded people you can find. No real musician listens to one type of music.
me agree, dunno bout horrible but not good ...could be seen in any karaoke lounge or ...........add the venue dujour I think the intent is possibly campy and they captured it.
are you sure its a fender, i know it looks like a fender jazz but i was browsing the flea bass's on modulas's website and i am pretty sure i saw that one there too.
I'm pretty sure, since the stadium arcadium album he plays on a fender jazz bass ( good basses, but i like modulus more) when you look at videos from stadium arcadium, you can deffinitely see the fender JB
In 2005, around the time of the concert, he switched to Fender J-basses but later in 2006, he went back to Modulus's for all live shows. Look at more live shows in 2006 and 2007. You will will a kind of burst color modulus he is playing a lot.Maybe the next album, he'll play with a modulus.
This is so true for my life!! Flea....mmmmmmmmm. Gotta love a man and his whitie tighties!!! woohoo!! :p
