Holy shit, I've been a RHCP fan for ages but I had no idea that they've done this song before, fucking legendary! Just as good as John Lennon's version :D
I've always loved Lennon's version for 40 years. This is the 1st time I've heard the Chili's. I think it's f'ing excellent. One of the best vocal performances I've ever heard from Kiedis. And the band's hot too. I noticed one small, not inappropraite alteration in lyrics: Kiedis turns "dope" in "Don't let them fool you with dope & cocaine" into "do-nope", as in "Dope, no thanks"!
@ceclovitchable No, his best work is on Nothing's Shocking and Ritual De Lo Habitual. For me, One Hot Minute proved more about the Chili Peppers as a band than it did necessarily for individual players except for Chad Smith, One Hot Minute has far and away his best drumming.
@NickODU2015 i agree with both of you guys. nothings shocking and RDLH are amazing albums and are so different than OHM but they are definitely daves best stuff.
its not like those JA albums were just about dave. the whole band proved to be awesome during that era too
this is a good cover but if this was 1989 and the chili peppers covered this song, it would be done at a much faster speed and a lot funkier. weird how things have changed
What are you deaf? You moron...NO cover has ever topped any of The Beatles recordings (band and solo)! Kiedis has one of the shittiest voices in rock history. He can even catch his breath live, let alone find a key. John Lennon was one of the great rock voices of all time!
i dont get why people say john is wayy better than Dave. Dave was just the right person for the band at the time, since john was getting off the drugs i think at the time. but john is truly the right gutiarist for the rhcp.
@FuzzyChurro Seriously, Dave did a good job IMO. He at least tried and wanted to give 100%. John was interested in being an egocentric asshole just for the sake of being an egocentric asshole. Obviously he's completely changed since he's come back, but Dave did a great job and tried his hardest. By the end of his tenure, John was just half-assing all of his shows. As much as I love Frusciante, One Hot Minute is actually my favorite RHCP album.
haha ok I will. love this song too.RHCP is the 90' s best band of this kind. Unbelieveble many bands with the PIXIES n NIRVANA style emerged but no one like them. May be Urban Dance Squad? Here in Italy we adore a half french, half latin band called SWAVE. Seek their song "In the Future" is awesome too
y'know that really generic funk rock feel that the chili peppers built their entire career on? It should never, ever, disgrace a Lennon song like this again
@phantom69ufk Yeah John is ALL OVER that recording.. there are so many incredible guitar parts, solos, effects. I could listen to it on headphones over and over. One of my favorites is the guitar on "Strip My Mind" when the solo first comes in it sounds like a rocket ready for lift off!
beastly cover and OHM is an amazing album and Dave contributed a new style to the band something John can't do because Navarro is a more diverse guitarist. There both damn good guitarists though.
I will agree that californication and bssm are different but not stadium. What I meant though was that in OHM you had so many differents sounds in just one song while BSSM which is an album that I love has a pretty similar sound throughout with little change which isn't a bad thing because I love bssm and cali but I still will say that OHM is there most diverse album.
Plus it's not too demanding a song. I'm pretty sure this is Navarro, if not it is John circa Mother's Milk and the guitar sounds too much like Navarro, Froosh didn't use many effects back then.
@RogelioCelestino this is pretty simple ''Working Class Hero: A tribute to John Lennon is a 1995 album'' (extract for wikipedia) Frusciante left the peppers in 1994. I don't know if its is Dave or another intermedium guy, but I'm secure that it isn't Frusciante. There is why I don't like it (Im aren't saying that it's bad)
@RedHotChiliZephyrs No, when I listened the first time, I thought it was Frusciante, but I don't really liked it. It was extrange, because I ussually love Frusciante's songs. If some one made me believe that this is frusciante, I won't liked it also.
I would bet this is not frusciante, and it definetly sounds like Navarro, too overloaded, too many heavy licks along with the lyrics, and the solo... it's just not frusciante :D
lennon wrote it, chilli peppers sang it because they wished they had wrote something like it and also becuase lennon is such a big influence to all real muscians. thanks john lennon and thanks r.h.c for bring lennons music to the younger generations.
its a hard cover to master and i think their pretty close because john lennon had a certian anger and intensity in john lennon/plastic ono band album that no one could fullfill
tell me, what makes them terrible? and dont give me some bullshit that they're out of key or out of tune, because they are hardly out. And if you listen to the original, Anthony is using the original vocal style that lennon uses so you can't diss that...id really like to hear your criticism, because im sure you could lay a better track down.
I'm not 100% sure but i think it was Navarro because the song was on "Working Class Hero: A Tribute to John Lennon" and that came out in 95, when they were with Navarro.
A Lennon tribute album some years back called Working Class Hero. The Flaming Lips, Scott Weiland and George Clinton were just some of the great names on it.
calm down man, the whole point of a cover is to add ur style to a song, rhcp do the song justice cos whatever you want to say, its an amazing cover, and anyway, rhcp are much more funk based than lennon, so thats why theres loads of wah, either way it sounds great, it changes it up from the original and still sounds good, its better that its slightly different
2) he wanted it like that..this about million times better than the orginal and i didnt like dave navarro at all. i would have loved to seen what john frusciante could have come up with for this song
Okay, calm down. Just as long as we all know he is singing off-key, generally flat. That's all. I'm not judging this as good or bad. Just out of tune singing.
this song is pretty good...although i see your point. but im used to anthony's vocals, and even if this was OHM era, navarro still makes it a good song. great cover.
Holy shit, I've been a RHCP fan for ages but I had no idea that they've done this song before, fucking legendary! Just as good as John Lennon's version :D
