Red Hot Chili Peppers - Greeting Song Instrumental

[SpyrosMaragosLP]

why on earth antony hates this song?It is AMAZING!

[MrBeach21]

I learned this thinking Flea slapped it and didn't pluck it. I feel like a badass.

[TheBlackWhirlwind]

They almost never play this live, as Anthony Kiedis hates it, because Rick Rubin forced him to write a song about cars and girls.

[added23]

anyone else notice those cricket sounds at the end when chads talking?

[Alwaystheshyones]

Was just out on a boat today...the skipper played this on the way back as we sped along at 39 knots thumping down on waves...this tune, combined with the adrenaline and the beautiful white water rushing behind us, created a memory I shall keep forever..Good times :)

[MrGObigGOhome]

anthony kiedis didn't even want this song on the album...rick Rubin just wanted a song about cars.lol

[spiritofsantanabass]

watch my bass cover of this song :) with a modulus GAV=]

[GrimKage]

Why does Flea never play the musicman anymore?

[RHCPrimus]

@GrimKage because musicman's are more for funky and harder/faster based rock songs, modern peppers play more melodically, so he uses different basses now

[tarekflash91]

@GrimKage He got his own Company Called Flea :D

[FearghasG]

will ferrel was born after chad guys. >.> Therefor Will Ferrel looks like Chad Smith.

Anyway, chad has some crazy high hat rhythms with the control of closed > partially open. o.0 really interesting to listen to.

[SebaChannel]

they should play this song live

[jndkid013]

chad's foot has a frickin hemi in it

[RedAsterisk]

I kinda think the song would be much cooler when slowed down.

[jwild611]

If AK really doesn't like this then he's insane.  I do however think though that it was more or less the lyrics he "didn't believe in" rather than this groove

[ilhamm100]

@jwild611 yeah it's the lyrics

[Chiliguy007]

This is excellent,

It just needs more Cowbell....

[balmoral12]

Holy crap it's Will Ferrel!

[1999californication]

will ferrel is not even funny you little shit!

[alexjamess]

don't try that at home kid, you may hurt yourself.. hahahaha fucking master

[cannibalonXthedead]

man i want that drumset of chad's! it's absolutly gorgeous!!

[cannibalonXthedead]

man would i love to have chad smith's octopus drumkit!!!! i've always loved how that amn thing looked!! wish i could have it

[MrRockstart]

Chad Smith is so bad ass hahaha

[610372]

funky shit!



[gitarman00]

chad has some fresh shoes

[GuchiB65]

chad doesnt look like will ferrel, WIL FERREL LOOKS LIKE CHAD

[gera799]

Is Flea using GK amp?

[MadMagzzz]

if people looked while they play together they'd see that chad doesn't do that really quick thing he does in the "slow version" =/

but damn, he can still keep a groove man

[bassist1O1]

obviously that would be impossible at that speed without a double pedal. it's very difficult at the speed he shows you which is very slow.

[xXDeadBirdXx]

@bassist1O1

well, not THAT difficult, me being a drummer i can say that heh :) and yeah, i guess only people like john bonham or dave grohl could pull it off in the original tempo

[stinkymlinky]

@bassist1O1 no its definately possible with a single and u can see that his left leg is on the hi-hat + hes open/closing the hihat so he cant use double pedal =]

[bassist1O1]

@stinkymlinky

dude, you don't gte what i'm saying. he plays it differently when he slows it down. it's impossible to do it the slowed down one on a single pedal. and i know chad doesn't use a double pedal. ever.

[stinkymlinky]

@bassist1O1 oh right i get you now and yeah you would definatley need a double bass for the slowed down version =]

[huevito93]

@bassist1O1 not impossible just really hard hehe xD

[ElectricRain24]

@bassist1O1 Hes the goddamn best drummer in the world, just because your genes aren't good enough to do it doesn't mean it's impossible especially for chad.

[saxonthebeach11]

Nasty kick speed

[zildjian5o5]

"you may hurt yourselves" is missing at the end! LOL

[SpencerEGump]

chad smith is such a beasst... he and bonham are the kings of single pedal speed

[theboner123]

dumbass thats chad smith

[GreyJay69]

WOW

you're like, the first person to ever compare him to Will Ferrel, holy shit! Amazing, I'm sure no one has ever said that before, ever.

[lalaosd]

hahahahaha and the first one who thought will ferrel plays drums so cool

hahahahahhaha

[quackbeef]

yeah, its funny.. i was watching this video last night and my dad came in and said... hey i didn't know will ferrel played drums... and i was like thats chad smith.... haha....

[drumsticks135]

i certainly felt welcome by the wonderful display of funkiness lol

[plynwithfire]

it is funk dumbshit,p funk,funk rock..ur and idiot

[Demented888peng]

that kit is soo cool

[C0leman]

i wonder why anthony never liked this tune, I always thought this was just another great track to add to the already brilliant BSSM...such a fun track.

[Yukonho72]

He didnt like it cos he thought it wasnt original and cheesy. He wanted tow rite songs that MEANT stuff to him

[Lulzrustypipes]

Rick Rubin asked him to write this and he didnt like it

[MeatwadandBoxyBrown]

ya and this is one of the sickest tunes by them. the drum part is awesome. the bass drum just keeps goin at it.

[adhdkoen]

the producers told the rhcp to make a song about good times and girls and stuff but kiedis didnt like it one bit

[Tondaman11994]

Yeah its funk rock

[TheLastPictureShow]

These guys are solid, good musicians, but I wish people would stop pretending this is Funk. It's not.

[ljevo1234]

stop fuckin complaining lets just listen to some good music

[papatalent]

Yep ur right, It's not Funk, but Funkrock!

[rhcpkzi]

p funk ..bitch..suck an ass

[damuska2000]

the funny thing is, everyone (me too) likes this song but kiedis writes in scar tissue that he hates it and that is why he never wants to sing it live...

[snare411]

what dvd is this from?

[LiquidStampede]

the little thing starting at 1:45 is the most amazing thing ever.

[Seikima]

The bass lines are so simple that it becomes very complicated and hard.. This shows that sometime the hard seems easy... This is so awesome.

[rhcpkzi]

drums are the instruments of warriors

[lamify91]

what are the tabs for what flea played at 1:44??

[fentonyoung]

on the A string, open 2 4 2 4 open A

then on the D 7

[vegadomis32988]

this reminds me of reading scar tissue and when they first try out chad and they were jaming fast and then was leading flea in the song...

[HaggardEffect]

Fuck the rhythm is tight, no wonder Kiedis and Frusciante can do whatever the fuck they want, these guys just hold it together.

[ilikeee12345]

Is there a bassist better than flea?

[ilikeee12345]

dont lie

[johnnylawrason]

there is but only in skill flea but his heart into his bass and is more creative

[TOsmusic]

close race between victor wooten and flea IMO

[frixione1234]

what's that year?

[airheadssss]

that's a beautiful drum set

[AncientBros]

chad is the best funkdrummer, my opinion

[TheLastPictureShow]

Not even close. That just shows you don't listen to much funk. Mike Clark beasts on Chad.

[rhcpkzi]

fuckin awesome

[IIIIFLEAIIII]

yea bass and drum.best jam

[wickedsword]

u morons can just joke around about him looking like will ferell, bt dat guy's one of the best drummers dat ever made it to the mainstream. this video clearly demonstrates how good dis guy is, mimicking flea's bass with his own bass drum and wit one pedal!! thank u for posting :)

[cooldude8332]

I agree Chad isn't given enough credit in the band mostly cause he is only ever given 1-2 bars a song to go have fun.

RHCP is made up of

Flea: Ranks from 1-5 on most top bass players

John: 5-18 (rolling stones 18)

Chad: ???

Only modern band I can compare to their talent is Avenged Seven Fold

[mozzadagozza]

i know everyones bored of the will ferrell joke, but its true. also, chad wanted to b an actor before being in chilis - imagine the two of them in a film together! if u dont believe, read scar tissue x

[kennethdude2334]

Wow he makes a joke you guys doent consider funny? is that like a mortal sin or something?

[apina313]

I love the Chads "aha!" after the fancy kick with the bass drum

[Dohdk]

Hehe, you're absolutly right, he's funny guy!

[seant2001]

omg...is that will farrel on drums...lol

[liddaz4life]

fuck thats old. i wish ppl would stop with the whole wiil ferrel thing an start talkin about how insane his drumming is

[EvKbassdude07]

that a cool drumset!! but flea shoulda been louder... oh flea, also i like the musicman

[420jaymac]

its for a drum dvd so thats why the bass is more background

[EvKbassdude07]

oh thanks i was wondering haha

[jzayed7]

will farell druming

[fabulasandcool]

very original dumb ass

[oscarm50]

man it looks like chad smith is struggling, by his face, if he plays that today, im rpetty sure hes dancing

[evilezee]

Does it SOUND like he's struggling?

Exactly.

So shut up.

[showghy]

i sprained my ankle trying to do that...with a double.

[oscarm50]

its cause u suck

[funkbassboom]

lol, cheers guys, me and my band thought we were the only people who thought Chad smith is a lookalike 4 Will Farell!

[goddamnit666a]

i always say that to my brother but hes a fatass and disagrees.

[SLlax15]

hahaha

[m4rtin666]

"dont try that at home kids, you maaayyy hurt yourself" ^_^ i tried, i got hurt :P

[tubros7]

im fine.

[m4rtin666]

lucky you. im happy just to be alive :P

[tubros7]

lol

[zjohn89]

lol chad does look like will farell in this one

[TheFleshStorm]

will farell is a good drummer

[crashxdrummer]

will farell?

[fashizzle316]

it's not will farell, it's chad smith. He does look like himthough

[TheFleshStorm]

i know that...it was a joke.

[alexowain]

i've just learnt the whole bass line to this song i LUV IT ashame AK doesn't flea and chad r legends!

[punkrockfan17]

lol chad has Shao Khan voice in 2:37:D good song though

[6milker9]

'don't try it at home' xD he is great drummer :D

[mssv676]

i luv that bass

[manunitedsucks]

i love that bass line!!!

[Baz0o0]

it would be an honor to play like Chad or Flea for everyone of us drummers an bass-players, woulnd't it?

(PS: im drummer)

[djcloudstrife]

lol man it would be a challenge for a drummer to work with a bassist like flea. im not a drummer so i wouldnt know lol

[RHCP999998]

lol i drum and i think ur right especially coz he has that slip slop bass style.. u would realy need 2 work out wat 2 play first

[djcloudstrife]

hehe yeah man definitely, i used to try to mimic that flea style of bass with a drummer but lol it would end up being one of us who would throw of the whole jam lol. As a drummer, how do you find the snare and hi hat work by chad? is it really hard to do?

[RHCP999998]

the snares easy by itself but its hard in some parts near the end of under the bridge and the hi-hat kinda easy but when u gotta open and close it with the base drum going aswell it just gets 2 hard coz of wat u thinking about wat 2 do next

[Apple0192]

its sick cause my drummer was like brought up on Chad Smith so he like..is an amazing drummer for playing such a short time and I've grown up with a solo bass player back ground so in sense I do kinda play like flea that intense slap/finger riffs and it just worked out perfectly.

[TheRealRevHAHA]

chat smith is funny lol.yeah agree on him looking like will farell

[decepticonier]

cool drums!

[ahmadkhairul]

funny duo! haha..

[kennethlowyangchoon]

ky.....

[ahmadkhairul]

what...hahaha..

[ChengCheng91]

ken and ky -.-

[notxjack]

chad smith looks so much like will ferell

[cab2132]

Yes he does!

[jaymzreid]

chyea.

[whubel]

been saying that for years

[MattEvo22]

and if somebody made a led zeppelin movie hugh jackman would be jimmy page

[timeflies91]

wat the fuck?

[lorddavoncarter]

I know it's ff topic, but if they make a RHCP movie Will Ferrell is a perfect canidate for Chad Smith.

[MattEvo22]

lol ur absolutley right!!!

[RustyPancake]

looks so much like him

[rhcpramonesfan]

doesn't anthony hate this song? remember reading through scar tissue saying he hated the lyrics. ah well good instrumentals though :P.

[capodastaro]

yea i was reading that and i was like what the fuck dude its a great song awesome lyrics one of the best guitar riffs aswell :o

[truganini29]

this is one of their best songs, very underrated i think. In my opinion this song sounds better than 'give it away' and as for this version it sounds just as good without the lead guitar, the bass and drums go well together. I found myself grooving a little when I was watching this video. Oh and 1 thing, Chad is a funny fucker. He was funny too when he came to adelaide during the OHM tour, while he was down here he was doing these drum clinic things, he kicked ass.

[residentre]

I disagree. The lyrics in the song are bad. Its better with just chad an flea. Anthony has said that he hates his lyrical contribution. The only reason he wrote it was because the producer Rick rubin wanted a song about cars and girls. But that bass drum mimicking the bass rocks hard.

[zbuntowana14]

they are the best!!!!!!!

[Lgolos]

Sounds much better without guitar for most of the song.

[Fithvael91]

John missing ;(

[Giorracho]

great

[cdnguy67]

just isnt there without john wailing on the guitar

[Fleapea]

i have this on dvd.. it cost me alot but its totally worth it, it's a good instructionvideo.

[perikoguevara789]

how much did it cost u?

[insectpinsnr]

wow he looks like willy farrel

[truganini29]

yeah he does!

[HeatHen92]

Chad and Flea are one of the best rhytm musicians in the world, that's a fact.

[nochumplovevsucker]

not many people think chad smith is good, but if u take a look at his solo stuff, fe is amazizing!!!

[obeseocallaghan]

what are you talking about.. heaps of people think chad smith is good!

[Petridishpete]

i agree, there are many people who like chad.

He is very under rated on his technical ability!

[quaz12]

my friend and I play this jam all the time and it is fun to play

[bastou000]

lol mee too ;)

[pizzaguy01]

i wish i had the money to actually buy this whole video
