@alexromeroster I like it. If you don't, you don't have to say you don't. Just throw down a dislike. No need to say it sounds like shit. If you knew anything about bass, you could understand that.
@xheartshapebox I don't know, but those people can suck it because they don't know what they're missing out on :) BADASS album damn screw those fuckers...
But also don't get me wrong I love Scar Tissue...I've read that 3 times now.
But there are alot of fans who only know of Californication onwards...and they themselves IMO are missing out on even greater music from before that time. So yes my statement does make sense and the people who overreacted obviously got a nerve hit because it probably applied to them.
It really isn't a big deal. Fans are fans and that's fine.
ive also looked up this song because I read what inspired him to write this song in his book Scar Tissue, the most interesting book ive ever EVER read.
Anyone who came here bragging that they came because of Scar Tissue...yea its funny and all and Scar Tissue is a fantastic book but a true fan such as myself already knew of this song for years and years...and to 67gabby76...this song isn't wack it's just as Anthony describes it in the book: a shocking assault of kinetic sound ripping through your brain.
@jwild611 yea and i made a comment toward you. so dont reply if you dont want. rhcp doesnt care whos a "true fan" or not. they appreciate all, new and old fans. so it's best not to be an arogant dick.
@jwild611 Well you're special aren't you? You didn't even have to read a book to find out about an obscure song. It really matters HOW somebody discovers something, doesn't it? You can't be a TRUE fan of RHCP unless you've known about this song for several years. STFU you asshole
@rockateer45 "obscure song" you're the asshole. They played that song live right up until 1999 regularly. So how is it obscure? Just further proves my point...actually thank you
@davidwalz Amazingly enough I bought this album in an FYE. Granted it was years ago. i bought the other 3 EMI albums in a cd store as well...it seems they're harder to find these days
I only had it once (from the library,) and it was for a book report. But I'm considering to actually buy it, just so I can get fully immersed in it with no deadlines or due dates.
I love how 90 percent of us only searched this because of Scar Tissue. Just goes to show how far they've come. I have to admit though, although this song is wack it's catchy as hell!
the reason i am here is because i had this on cassette tape in the early 80's and it was my favorite song from the album. you young whippersnappers missed out on a great era of music. i guess all you have now is to read about it in an autobiography.
@muneymakingmission book is really good! can't stop reading. i just can't figure out how you can do all that being steadily stoned by speedballs, but still..
This version is different to the version I have from the 1984 Red Hot Chili Peppers, and its different to the demo I have...where is this version from?
haha my boyfriend is a huge fan of chili peppers, and when i said that in the book the engineer labelled this song shit in his notebook, he laughed and said he had to agree.
@GraeCabbage , i'm reading it too! you must be finished- but i reached this point where I had to recognize that the chili peppers have influenced my way in so many ways- it was about time i read the damn book
Hillel, Flea, and Anthony moved to a street called Leland Way, AKA Pot alley because the mexican mafia dealt pot on the street,. It gave him material because everynight he would stare out his window and watch LAPD helicopters circling over his block, shining lights down on the maelstrom of the pot dealing activity. page 108 in his biography, Scar Tissue. Just read that part and looked up this song, that how i know..
no ur getting that mixed up with flea i think, this was inspired by a seedy part of la were anthony lived and there was always cops outside in the sky
lol i read anthonys biography, and he is so strange! ahaha
but in a good way and im looking up all their songs, theyre so unique, so un mainstream and i had no idea what the songs he sang was realy all about until i read the book, and i really dont know why and how they could go around naked whenever they felt like it, and poop in a pizza box and give it to their producer! its fascinating! ... oh i like this song by the way.. very cool :)
omgggg i hate reading but this book is my fucking favorit im glued, im halfway, Hillel just died :[[[ but anthony is sober!! and they got john fruciante and chad smith and doing gooood its awesome, oh i know the grizzlers is sooo cooool
oh! hillel dying is such a shock ! i was like wtf!!!
NOOOOOOOO, and then i cried (ashamed)
grizzlers was so awesome! ive had to put the last pages on hold coz i have to read olord of the flies for school -.- im like obsessed with knowing everything about them now, i love how anthony is so sensitive about people and thinks so highly of people.. :D
omg i knoww its sooo funnn to know more, whats awesome is going on youtube for his interviews cuase they are tied in with the boook at the times andshit or olld live lays with hillel (rip) its awesome
this is their first song...they have started with this...producer said this is shit...but anthony made this lyrics great and flea made this music great too...
I reading the Scar Tissue - Anthony Kiedis....and it's captivate me...ammmm...I used to listen some r.h.p.c. song,but not a lot....but nowadays I always listen Red Hot Chili Peppers...:D It's coool!!

still though it would be one of their weaker songs in my opinion
check out their version of ''i found out'' (lennon originally) its f*cking unbelievable.
still though their first album gets way too much s*it, some of the tracks are unreal on it.
