  • Desecration Smile B-Side!!!

  • They should play this song live more often,so muthafucking funky..

  • jizz everywhere

  • every man has certains needs.... talking about them dirty deeds... to these needs i must concede...... yeah yeah... livin by my lowly creed...

  • la deberian tocar mas en los shows en vivo..... "there are no monks in band...... there are no saints in this land"

  • Does Flea have a 5 string bass in this vid?

  • @Olima15 Yes indid

  • i love this song they should play it more often at gigs

  • my favorite chili peppers song

  • So good

  • amazing. of course. should easily be in everyone's top 10 RHCP songs. so fantastic that they performed this before John left the band. lol to the girl @4:24, "are you recording? what song is this?" Not in a mean way that she doesn't know the tune, just the lack of enthusiasm :)

  • sucks that not many people at this show know this song... such a good tune of BSSM

  • youtube.com/watch?v=TDi7s2iKi5­Y

  • to this song i must conceeeeeed yeah yeah

  • They only performed this song in Denver(this video) and Milan 2006 both.

  • Not so hard to tell why this song was called Funky Monks.

  • this band is amazing... they've changed so munch since 91, but they still can play with the same feeling as they did in those days...

  • best song on blood sugar sex magik is sir psycho sexy. but this is a good song too i like the guitar parts

  • I never gonna understand why they never played it live before, is one of their 5 best songs.

  • why didnt they actually want to play it live?

  • @jamiemyhamster09 cause they dont know the song that well lol

  • This exact version, but in better quality is also available on the Desecration Smile CD Single 2 and 7" picture disc.

  • The band once performed with a tube sock covering their junk, no clothes just two pair of socks! Funny thing about it is Fleas' mom tailored the socks so they wouldnt come off during the show!

    '

  • @misspixiedust4209 well this is a pretty well known fact among fans :) Sox and Cox that's what they used to call it, good times :)

  • @misspixiedust4209 haha yes, but they did it several times! probably 20 times

  • intro is godlike!

  • "now lets funk out"

    nice.

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme agreed, to the fullest

  • is call Funky Monks

  • @redhothellers . I was at this show, Flea was wearing some sort of skin-tight fake tattoo suit. From a distance he looked naked, but you could only tell at the show if you saw the screens or were close to the stage.

  • amo a los red hot!

  • also, the end bit!! fucking love it! no one has the funk like these guys

  • these guys were the reason for so many hours of happiness in my youth. love them

  • favorite song by them! =D Might not sound good? They played it perfectly! Maybe even better than perfect. Just shows you how great this band really is, or was, with the departure of John =(

  • u can get this on itunes

  • it's really insane john can sing while playing that one weird rhythm part.

  • @LiuQingHai the chorus is hard to play and sing.. the rest of the song is easy..

  • There used to be a good quality bootleg recording of this on youtube

  • People should stop fighting and just listen!! This is the most badass song. So so sexy! It comes on the Desecration Smile single in Australia! Can you get Slane Castle on cd anywhere?

  • They fucking sound good live.

  • someone can tell me what flea and anthony say before the song? my english is bad.

  • Something about this song being a request from a radio contest winner. Anthony said that they hadn't played it live before, so it might not sound great.

  • Now that John is gone i hope they some material they couldn't play with John. Like Mother's Milk and even earlier stuff. Man that outro is so funky.

  • i like that funky sound that predominates on Blood Sugar Sex Magik, it make me feel like dancing and rocking at the same time

    RHCP RULES

  • @grzana2429

    Dude shut up and quit trying to be better than everyone else who posted on here. Music is the most important part but they're allowed to talk about other shit too. You're no better than them for coming and adding to the argument.

  • I never said that im better, i think its fucked up to show off sayn how much you know what the begginings of this song were like....

  • @grzana2429

    "I can meet Frusciante but only to play with him, cause i love his music not him."

    As if it mattered what YOU or anyone else would do if they met John. And if someone has knowledge about something they should feel free to share it, NOT act like it makes them better than anyone. That's directed at them, not you.

  • john has written this song;)

  • the actual rythm was made by anthony haha

  • @MusicMonkeysAreAlive

    I think Chad is playing drums and Flea is on bass... pick up an instrument and learn the difference. No more haha's... fucker.

  • @kzolotar ? anthony invented the guitar part in the song. he took johns guitar and just played for fun and that was what he was playing and john said wow that sounds pretty coool so they wrote a song with it...thats what antony tells in an interview so shut up...and trust me i already picked up and instrument and learned the difference

  • @MusicMonkeysAreAlive mmmm, kinda.. anthony didnt make that EXACT rhythem, he made something similar, and john said its cool, then got inspired by the rhythem anthony made, and made the actual funky monks rhythem. does that make sense? lol. i know which interview ur talking about.

  • @MusicMonkeysAreAlive Your stupid. The other person is right, fag.

  • @SupWitDat19 A very helpful comment. you´re cool.

  • @MusicMonkeysAreAlive lol. the riff is johns

  • @odingr no, actually anthony was just joking around on the guitar while they were jamming one time and he played something like funky monks and john liked he so he made a little more on it and it became funky monks

  • @odingr no anthony made the rythm and john perfected it watch the v-prod stuff

  • @MusicMonkeysAreAlive

    What do you mean? He came up with the bassline or something?

  • @DrummaTy In an interview john said that anthony just picked up his guitar and played something like this, that's how the song came up

  • @DrummaTy heres the video that explains it /watch?v=7eBdhym7jr8&feature=r­elated

  • just reading the comments, a lot of ppl say they should play there old songs, but they cant exactly do that cause, for one: John and Chad havent always been in the band so may not know how to play certain songs, and two: they wont have time to play their old songs added with their new ones.

  • nope, when john joined the band he had already learned all of their old songs cuz he was a big fan, and chad learned some of their stuff from freaky styley aswell

  • john has said before he doesn't like his guitar work from Mother's Milk, which he was pressured into playing heavier with more distortion, and a heavy metal feel. One Hot Minute doesn't fit his style at all, so the band doesn't choose to play that either. Possibly same reasons for the first non-John albums too.

  • Shut up fuckhead, theres videos of john doing Mummy Wheres Daddy on here.

  • i see what you mean, but how about

    "pretty little ditty" i love that song, and its quite a short but very nice song.

  • @220891nb the did sex rap in 2006 live its way better

  • they r gettin back in the studio in october bitches :D

  • with out John lol. WEAKSAUCE

  • wow!!that made my nite..i never heard them do that one live..they did a great job for not playing it in 17 years.john is amazing..singing and playing those off guitar riffs..awesome...

  • RHCP kick ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    this song rocks

  • They're starting to write new songs in October 09, all bandmembers confirmed it this week.

  • Not John. :((( He quit

  • everyone but John.

  • got this exact vid, as a mp3.

    it good :D

  • yeah me too!

  • Any thing from One Hot Minute except Pea for one. Maybe Melllowship slinky or Righteous and the wicked too. But I would love to hear One Hot Minute songs especially Shallow Be Thy Game and the title song.

    I was at the god damn show after this in arizona why couldn't they play this song at our show.

  • Yeah bro!!!! they really need to play some of there old stuff in concert for us old RHCP fans. :/

  • @Jake623314 bro, righteous and the wicked and mellowship slinky were on BSSM....

  • Funky.. I love it!

  • Damb they can still really funk it up like they old skoool style :)

  • "we dont really know how to play it... but were still gonna kick ass anyways" so cool

  • You gotta love this song.. I'm still wondering why they don't play it more often.. It's such a great song =D

  • probably the best song by rhcp. IMO

  • flea shud have sang along wit john n it wud hav been da best!!!!

  • sir psycho sir psycho yeaaah!

  • YEA!!! RHCP FOR EVER!!!

  • this is a great song. they should play it more

  • john is the best !!!! oouuhhhhh !!!

    rhcp for ever :p :p :p

  • I love that song they did it so well

  • cool visual affects at the arena..

  • Is it "you are all alone" or "you are on the road" ?

  • it's you are on the road

  • it's both

    he says all alone then on the road

  • Yes he does, look at the lyrics of Blood Sugar Sex Magik, you'll see.

  • you are on the road

  • i told you where and when we were playing! You had told me you were gonna "kill me" lmao 400 peps paid 12 to watch us. What did ou do Sat? fucked your Bf? Also you never showed up? or maybee your just a punk?

    Musics not about hating assholes like yourself. The fact that i get paid fairly well doing somthing i love.Can you beat that? I get to add our originals during sets as we build a nice following. We get to pay our respects to a great band! ITS GREAT!

  • cool!!! play the HILO DE ARIADNA cover here in youtube, they play cool!!!

  • Liisten dickhead....do write my own music...playin tribute or covers supports my music habbit. plus if you build a following w/covers you can throw your won shit out there and have people hear it.

    i shouldnt even respond to anyone calling me a "fah=g" who don't know me....

    i promise you would never say that to my face...i have a gig fri....come find me :^) Make a g for trib and orig's or play all origs for 100 bucks...moron

  • the opening bass just wow

  • I'm in a Chili Pepper tribute band in Houston. Just 3 of us. Bassist sings! guy is amazing.... Messege me for future shows.

  • You're in Houston? Sweeeet! Awesome where can I see you guys fri? I'd love 2 see a show XD

  • does anybody understand the difficulty of playing johns part during the chorus and singing at the same time?

    What the fuck

    this man is amazing!

  • someone want to chat

    lets chat mB

  • either way they should throw a few more of the old ones in, after all they seemed to enjoy playing this one, and did an amazing job of it, the person should have gone for something like knock me down, would have strengthend their friendships, reminded them of the old days, also john and AK writing that song together, behind the sun or good time boys would have been incredible too

  • I would request snow (hey oh)

    joke lolz ^_^ save the population ftw!

  • I would choose Get up and jump or Johnny kick a hole in the sky

  • No chump love sucker and never mind

  • i would have wanted them to play Sir Psycho Sexy... they would probably flip out in the outro and do some improvisations that would rock

  • They have played Sir Psycho a number of times, just search "sir psycho sexy" ;))

  • SHIT! awesome!

    it is the B-Side!

    great!

  • my requests would have been

    1) my lovely man

    2) mellowship slinky in b major

    3) funky monks

    Ha can anyone tell I liked BSSM?

  • id say

    1) power of equality

    2) mellowship slinky

    3) sexy mexican maid

    XD

  • awesome! i hope they make a new album so i can go to one of there concerts...i love this song!

  • sweet request. i woulda chose sexy mexican maid or nobody wierd like me. well maybe not i dont know. tuff call

  • sikamicanico or dosed for me!

  • awsesomeee

  • nah man, i would've chosen fight like a brave. But funky monks kicks major ass.  BSSM was such an insane guitar album, sciante was on a roll

  • play rightous and the wicked!!!!!!

  • Totally agree!@!!

  • "now lets funk out" :D

  • i wish i was the kid..

  • obviously nobody in the crowd knows this song. Just dani california and by the way fans.... :(

  • very true, that was the problem with SA, it attracted too many false fans, people at their shows today rarely know anything else other than the big songs, not even the ones from the newest albums, its a joke really, maybe thats why they dont play many old songs, cos people dont react to them when played live, people say rhcp have lost the funk, their newer albums might not be their funkiest, but this video shows that they can still play the funk, this is better than the album version

  • i would have picked out in L.a.

  • i would of chosen stone cold bush. now that would show up pop rhcp fans

  • or something like nobody weird like me or knock me down.Also aeroplane would be really nice!

  • That would piss John off so much.

  • XD so so true

  • i would love them play Johnny Kick a Hole In the Sky.. never heard that before live..

  • Was this in The pepsi colisee in UQuebec city that would be sweet! I PLAYED THERE, anyways i wanna see them play more stuff before bssm, get back to there roots, with hillel and irons, irons was cool. to bad i wasnt born back then...

  • i always thought there should have been a music video for this song

    it is awsome and one of my favorite saongs by rhcp

  • when i saw them, we got i could have lied and nobody weird like me... it was intense! there were people around us that were like "WTF is this?" when they did Nobody weird like Me. i was going fucking crazy!

  • THttas it if it was me id wanna show up all the pop rhcp fans and just go insane!

  • does anyone know the pickup setting used in this version? neck or bridge?? and did frusciante use the pick? it sounds very close to the studio version :)

  • He play'd with the Neck pick up ^^

  • thanks! and in your opinion he used the pick?

  • he used both his fingers and pick, but i think it would be fine if you used just pick, cause it sounds the same throughout

  • frusc sounded so pimp this whole tour

  • They played I could have lied as the last encore song in Cleveland, OH. They did play Higher Ground which surprised me a little.

  • The opening acoustic guitar riff to this song is probably the funkiest fucking thing I've ever heard in my life.

  • yeah but it's an electric guitar unconnected

  • Now that you mention it, I think you're right. But then, if I were to clarify that the scope of the word "acoustic" in my previous comment refers not to the word "guitar," but instead to the word "riff," then it's technically correct. :-)

  • ok! great riff anyway :-)

  • Does anyone else note that

    Just like the album we don't know how it ends!

  • I'm proud to have this fucking great performance in good quality ;)

  • wow amazing performance by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

  • man that solo was so awesome, i like how john played in a different key in the weird badass solo

  • The outro is the best part of the song. Favorite bassline ever! Pure funk.

  • absolutely right

  • absolutely right

  • their funkyest song ever.

  • I love this song!!!

  • i went to this concert. IT WAS AWESOME!!!

  • me too, it was fantastic.

    But strangely, i dont remember them playing this song. I was probly too busy screaming =]

  • damn they should play this more often. this is by far my favorite rhcp song ever... it's just that fabulous. and its such a great riff... i get bored and i sit there and play this song on my own guitar (though not as well as john... seeing as he wrote it... at least his part.... but yeah.... you know what i mean)

  • it's for sure in my top 3

  • this is amazing =D

    but hahaha he got the lyrics wrong after the solo =]

    thats the only thing that gives away the fact that they never play it

  • wow! they Rock and they did thier best and as usual sucseeded!

  • "ive been doing all i caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayayan, if i die an honest man!" 5 *'s you funky mothafucker, blackcross!

  • flea's last bass line is one of the funkiest of all time

  • rhcp u rule

  • this is possibly one of the funkiest songs eva... and one of my favs by rhcp

  • i kno they used to be really funky

  • dressed like that at my concert in vancouver 06 lighting the same, they opened with cant stop, two encores

  • this is one of my most favorite songs by them...maybe it's my most favorite....probably

  • FLEA IS GOD
