@richman1011 yeah this song is definitely overlooked on this album, but that's just because this whole album is just great, but this should be a classic, i agree.
Puts me in tears every time i listen, just reminds me of the power of RHCP and how their music is becoming more of a legacy, and hopefully will live on. thumbs up for the chili peppers legacy.
@keystonedtp@MrGeltabs Lots of ppl were in that situation "wanted to take away their life" but you dont see them sharing that on youtubu.. For me personally suicide is a cowardly act, and not something you re almost proud with, and telling that to EVERYONE...i admit, i was a dumbass for saying that in such an ignorant way, but i still think sharing those kind of personal matters ON YOUTUBE is very shallow...just looking for sympathys..sry for bad english XD
@dixipri Ya know, it's a lot easier to relate to someone's mutual love for a song if you understands it without having to look up a translation. Just saying, don't mean to be rude
@keystonedtp you got to almost feel bad that the poor fucker (@rajngla77vol2) he is in such a shithole in life he can't even see how far he gone he is.... What can ya do, people wish good on others. we all got those times when we wanna kill multiple people but geez let them man celebrate life!!! Suicide is no way to go, most often it because our eyes are only focused on ourselves.. example u wanna kill yourself, spend 2 months helping say Haitians out, learn from them.. life is wild
That solo.. that motherfucking solo - omg so powerful.. bliss, transendence, happiness, sadness, pain, redemption, elation, defeat; some of the feelings it evokes in me. Beautiful <3
these guys are so sick and play so tight no one can compare.i dont give a damn who you put them up against.the red hots are one of the greatest bands ever formed.what makes it hard to recognize is that its happening right in front of our eyes.these guys are legendary period.its magic what they are doing pure and simple
Anthony Kiedis' ability to convey an emotion with the sound of his voice...without the listener even understanding what the fuck he is saying, is the reason that I consider him the best at his craft.
@buttpennies anthony kiedis is conveying as much emotion in this song as in all their others = zero. I give him his lyrics but musically he's crap, barely able to hold a note. Superkudos to the rest of the band for weighing up their leadsinger's flaws.
@spent1985 Eddie Vedder is indeed very talented, no question about it. I think that you should, however, research your vocoder theory a little bit more thoroughly.
@buttpennies that's best comment I've seen on RCHP videos so far. Seriously. And the double amazement is that it is coming from a person with such nickname...:-)
These guys have been on a completely different level for years! Yes the guitar and bass and all of the instruments are lovely but some of the lyrics are fucking masterful. "My theory isn't perfect but it's close", c'mon that's awesome. Not as awesome as: "Christ I'm a sidewinder of a California King", but still awesome.
Does somebody really know the meaning of the song? Sometimes I think that Anthony Kiedis is singin' to his/her child and telling him not to be like him.
John is such a phenomenal guitar player. So much is missing, for me, since he left.
