  • wat is this.

  • this is not a bad cover, this is a funk cover and i love it

  • was he still in drugs there?

  • @ahrims221 haha very much so

  • @ahrims221 ya heavy

  • why is there no full version

  • As much as i love Red Hot Chili Peppers, this is a terrible cover.

  • @Danielledollface i wish i could give more thumps down on just one comment bitch

  • @mcbiggahiseenheld

    What are you crying about? all i said was that its a terrible cover, as many people agree, by no means was i saying they are bad, they are one of my favourite bands, get a life loser.

  • @Danielledollface THIS IS NOT A TERRIBLE COVER THIS IS FUCKIN GENIUS

    you definitely don't know anything about why john sang this song

    if you ''much love'' RHCP you can't say something like that

    you are the freakin loser

  • @Danielledollface BUT ITS NOT A BAD COVER GAH

  • holy shit chad looks like a fucking homeless crepo lol

  • @ahrims221 ? Because he has a sweet beard?

  • @HellsAngelsofNC that aint a ''sweet'' beard, and also by the fact that his long hair with the beard makes him look like that,

  • Did everybody forget that John Frusciante is actually the guitarist and not the singer? Oh and this was probably over 15 years ago to add on to this.

  • @xXCANCELMANXx over 15 years ago? man, this video is from 1990, 21 years ago... :) john was only 20 years old in this... sorry for my bad english

  • @fricalke 21 years is still over 15 years ago :P

  • Dislike

  • yesterday red hot chilli peppers were my faviout band.... so much for that

  • @GR33TINGSEARTHL1NGS IS IT ME R DOES THE DRUMMER NOT FAVOR WILL FERELL IN THIS VIDEO

    

  • @az09187 hahahahaha

  • That sounded like a coyote with his nuts caught on a hanger

  • I Cut off my left ear becuz of these people if you're only here to laugh and think how much better Elton john is wayyyy better then thumbs up

  • @XBrokenwingsX98 You fail at life...

  • @xxMMxKIDxx u fail at music

    

  • @XBrokenwingsX98 you fail at trolling

  • @70sdude117 Open ur ears this sounds like a retarted bird/wolf got their dick cut off and was forced to sing on a stage

  • @XBrokenwingsX98 hmm... everything's in key and the rhythm good i don't see anything wrong with it...of course its not elton john but still

  • @70sdude117 in key hehe and ur damn rite its no elton john

  • chad smith got locked in a cave

  • At 0:41 John looks like Fernando Torres. Lol

    

  • Chad Smith looks SO DIFFERENT in this!!!

  • Rather butchered this fine son. They should stick to the stuff they are good at!

  • Shudda left that one to Elton, lad.

  • yeah see how rhcp would sound without ant -SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why are there so many dislikes?

  • oh christ on a stick people..that was friggin awful...get a music bone in your body please...

  • He is very terribly out of tune.

  • @jacobtribiani could you do better? Frusciante is amazing whether you think so or not 

  • @demondude323 I realise that he is a great artist, and I am not saying I could do better. I rather mean that HE could do better, for I have heard him sing (and play) many other songs, and find that he is generally really good. You can't deny that this is not his best manifestation, which is OK.

  • Comment removed

  • wtf?!?!?

  • He as pretty bad out of tune lol

  • @misterjakemczilla Do you even know what out of tune is? He's not out of tune at all -.- except maybe a bit in some parts but that's on purpose like for the screaming parts. As for the singing tho he's hitting the notes perfectly.

  • @jewsmakingmovies Not his voice, lol his guitar sounds out of tune a bit

  • @misterjakemczilla he 50-45% is tuned down half step like hendrix

  • @FadedSTEELERSfan I thought he kinda sounded like him..

  • lame

  • this sucks:(

    

  • At least he did it with feeling...?

  • he butcher's the original.

  • John Frusciante did the best chorus to this song out of everybody who has covered this song

  • Comment removed

  • @zackattack94 oh yeah right

  • i love the band but he didn't do justice to Elton John on this cover song maybe an off day or something

  • Nah, original is better.

  • jesus john are you fucked up the quality of that shit was 1.5 on a 10 scale  laughable like american idol

  • Good cover, Elton is still best, but still best cover ive seen of it so far

  • Amazing!!!!! Please check out Matt Avina on youtube!!!! Singing a cover of this song!!!!!

  • mate listen to some of his other stuff, he has a voice of an angel.. seriously his vocal range is fucking sick!!

  • i know john is not the best singer but i love his voice

  • ......

  • Seriously , I love rhcp, but could you guys fuck this up anymore!

  • This song is great.... dont matter who sings it... rock on Elton John

  • now without john, how can the universe continue its daily functions?a cosmos is amiss, and rhcp will never be the same again. josh has to make a new cosmos :)

  • FUCKING GREAT!!!!!!

    This song has so much soul when John sings it

  • ..............................­

  • it`s so awesome to see how would red hot chili peppers sound without Anthony

  • @k0stil i guess... kiedis is just as important tho

  • @k0stil

    Don't get me wrong, I love John, but Anthony and Flea ARE the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Anybody else can come and go as many times as they like, but if either of them ever left, the show's done for good. No Anthony? No RHCP.

  • @Calipoppi

    agreed.

    but they actually were without anthony for some time before uplift mofo party plan release.

    They even got a new singer.

    They also had 2 shows where Anthony wasn't singing.

    One was hendrix tribute (he sang only on foxy lady)

    and another show, also in the 80s (i think they had bad brains vocalist or smthng...)

    He got kicked out cuz he used drugs too much

  • fuck the haters it's all about paying respect and the ultimate way is through a cover of a song

  • What's the deal with everyone giving John crap about this? He's just trying to pay respect to a song that he loves.

  • Bliss

  • This is so good

  • this has to be before john got into meth... he looks so much different and baby faced. still rocked though and for all those people who say that "butchered" it... it's the style of rhcp i think it's pretty cool.

  • @ohheychris Meth? Dude, He did heroine.

  • @Shambles940 He did crack and everything else under the sun dude. ;)

  • @theguitararbiter You sure? I thought just heroine and pot...

  • @theguitararbiter He was addicted to heroin when he did crack. He used the effects of crack to help himself kick heroin.

  • ah much as i love red hop chilli peppers,they've ruined this song.big time

  • die

  • Wow. BABY Anthony!

  • classic Chili Pepper moment.

  • I love Frusciante singing this

  • I think it is time for Anthony do learn a new war dance stomp.

  • leave it to the red hot chili peppers to make it look cool to perform on stage wearing underwears haha

  • @iRep45

    you obviously haven't ever seen a guns n' roses live video have you?

  • He's not the lead singer?

  • John?No.

  • looking this vid.starting to feel fucking nostalgic about chillis and john and everything good on this fucking planet,.oh shit my emotion are going wild...whagg iu oijdkjfh

  • So depressed about him quitting

  • (again)

  • Comment removed

  • what was that song at the end

  • @courselanguage The song is at the end is Untitled #10- John Frsuciante From his early days. Its short but You will play it like a million times. Trust me from exprience :P lol

  • chazz michael michaels grew a beard :p

  • I think this was Pinkpop 1990. Am I correct? Great performance!

  • You are correct =)

  • dave grohl also killed this tune.... hmm I believe people got hooked about this song because of the moment in ALMOST FAMOUS... the moment is big for any musician watching the movie.. dunno exactly what is it... why would anyone go and sound pitchy on such difficult high register to nail, make a fool of themselves (like Grohl) just to do a cover song, why?! also, that scene from the movie, can't be reproduced on stage by means of just performing the song on stage. Recon Sir Elton John punks :D

  • wasnt this before the movie

  • This was a long time before that movie came out, but nice try mate

  • thanks for pointing that this is before the movie. it makes me wonder even more why so many people try to cover tiny dancer. The question remains.. why would anyone go out and sing pitchy/play badly and kill the tune? is there a meme to covering tiny dancer?

  • Shut up man. People like songs and sing those they like live its actually respectuful. Jesus christ if john frusciante an dave grohl were singin MY songs id be so honoured.

  • Agreed.

  • I second that :( ...

  • moar liek; fucking awesome version.

  • awesome!

    This how will RHCP sound without Anthony

  • aaw, it didn't have the argument they had before playing this :/

  • Chad and his mullet <3

  • hes clearly wearing a hat but ok

  • not bad!

  • only damn genius!!!

  • the last song is a john frusnicantes untittle i think there is a video of a cover

  • whats the song at the end man? dying to know

  • Untitled #10 - John Frusciante

    off the album Niandra Lades and Usually Just A T-Shirt.

  • who not like,make better

    ,\,,/

    Frusciante is the men

  • *man , dont you mean!?

  • LOL. one word maaaan

  • I think it's friggin awesome! I love their cover!

  • esse filho da puta simplesmente acabou com a musica!

  • how high were they ? hahaha

  • You guys are all fucking retarded. John frusciante is a genius and anyone who thinks otherwise is probably as straight as a fucking fish hook, like goduke and jimboguitarman. This was a great cover so you guys can suck my cock.

  • it was a great cover. i loved. it.

  • I agree its good but I see some discrepancies in your logic here. To the fore is the question of you branding others as homosexual while at the same time inviting them to "suck your cock" it seems quite Ironic. ya fag

  • @snoboard4life765 very nice dude.everyone is entitled to their own opinion.i love this song too, but i don't go singing it around.and yes,john is a genius but do you see elton john making a cover on i don't know...give it away?i don't think so!and learn how to speak on a website millions of people get online.geez

  • @snoboard4life765 this version sucks

  • @snoboard4life765 I don't think he did very good I would have been even more upset if I paid to listen to it I love RHCP but not this cover IMO

  • @snoboard4life765 agreed

  • @snoboard4life765

    yea everyone here is fucking retarded for having their own opinion, the chili peppers are one of my favorite bands but I think this is a terrible cover even though he puts a lot of emotion and feeling into it.

  • @snoboard4life765 Holy shit, how did this comment get so many Likes? This guy basically called anybody who doesn't agree with him gay, and presented his opinion as a fucking fact. I didn't realize that being a douche was so popular.

  • @snoboard4life765 "so you GUYS can suck my cock" !? sounds like you're the bent one my friend!

  • whats the outro riff~?!!!

  • Everybody that says this sucks , doesnt know what music is , go fuck yourselff ,

    John Frusciante is a genius. So is this version of Elton John's Tiny dancer.

  • no its not and i agree

    blinkday44

  • No one said this song is better than the original one, it's a cover.

    But the Chilis did a really great job, there's no need to say John doesn't know how to sing.

  • Exactly.. They can't sing for shit when it comes to Elton Johns style. But if Elton tried to sing any chili songs he would be terrible too.

  • True, true/

  • chad looks awsome!!!

  • I always love how the drummer reminds me of a mix between Will Ferrell and Chris Pontius.

    At least when he has long hair.

  • LMAO!!! Ive been thinking that for YEARS!!!

  • wow :01-:23 singing sucked

  • wow john frusciante can really fucking sing!

  • beautiful cover.

  • frusciante is a genius

    this, the past recedes, and your pussy is glued to a building on fire are all amazing

  • damn guys, give him a break. hes 19, had never been in a band, and summed up enough courage to put on something badass. the fact that he has to sing the first couple words in falsetto is even more awesome. hes no elton john, cuz hes john frusciante and he does what he wants and what he wants is to rock (or pop rock, whatever)

  • fucking awesome! this is at Pinkpop right?

  • check out mine... see if you like it better then

  • this can't be real

  • morningperson, yes you did, because you dissed the best guitar player, one of the best songwriters, and best song coverer of this generation.

    get a life.

  • u know ur an idiot learn to appreciate good music you dildo

  • i love the RHCP! are you kidding me? but you have to evaluate things with a critical mind and doing so, allows you to say that their good music is top of the line. this isn't good enough "quality" to put on a cd. and that is what i am saying.

  • you're a motherfucker
