[simondeneuki]

kilos of drugs are in that room

[MasterJuancho]

6:42

[GRRJayyy]

Anthony looks strange without his tatts haha

[TheMiloBekins]

that was the year Hillel died ):

[Daan7000]

Nevermind - Red Hot Chili Peppers is the intro live song !

[BoogieMarc]

7:59-8:12... He was a huge artist already. RIP Hillel, our cup brother.

[TheAmazingScotsman]

WTF MAN, I've never heard Irons speak, I never thought his voice would of been like that. :o

[Whiteboye667]

finally irons speaks!!!!

[JudeG6695]

i like how Jack's voice is a little dorky. it gives the band more characture. not that they needed it

[DavidMRyanMD]

Hillell ROCKS @ 8*:00

[DavidMRyanMD]

Hillell ROCKS @ *:00



[Suddiefats]

anthony.. normal voice, flea oddly accented voice, jack high pitched squeaky voice, hillel lowly low velvet voice.

[TheBrianStones]

wow the bass solo at the beginning is incredible !

[zacman182]

7:59-8:12...why did you have to leave. this man would have been huge.

[04callwilk1]

Imagine hearing Love Trilogy for the first time live back in the 80's. That would be the best experience ever! When Flea just pops in with the bass like the badass motherfucker that he is!

[pikeybot]

used to have this doc on tape years ago

[aedong420]

its crazy cause RHCP's future guitarist is probably in that crowd

[bobule4e]

8:31 .. Doesn't John have the exact same guitar??

[arakenne1]

@bobule4e

John has every guitar.

[TheEthanhausler]

whats the first song flea plays or is he just doing some improv

[Gabe872]

what if we saw young john frusciante in the audience

[KurtMcGowan]

BUTTHOLE SURFERS T SHIRT!!

[robuzy]

ahahahahah!

[miniman1135]

1:46 sounds a lttle like magic johnson but since its 88 obviously its not

[cchavez1]

jack irons~!

best RHCP drummer ever!

[Coldacre]

definitely!! the original line up was IT.

[brainstorm44]

nah, i think cliff martinez was better, but that's just my opinion ;)

[WhiteBoyIsAwesome]

@brainstorm44 did you know they dropped martinez when they found out about electric drum machines?

[maxtof06]

what is the name of solo of flea pliz

[BassFace316]

8:13 :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Fleastian]

flea amazing!!

[triplectray12345]

If you read scar tissue all of these old shows make sense.

[rsohlich1]

@triplectray12345 I'm reading it now....and its at about this point in the bands career....actually Hillel died and I had to set it down. Stay away from HEROIN! It will destroy YOU. bUT, ON a lighter note, read amthony's book, "Scar Tissue." :)))

[DrummingSentinel]

It's amazing how Hillel dominates the early sounds. No wonder John was fascinated and learned his riffs. --- Drumming sucks, though.

[cchavez1]

show us what you can do sentinel!

[sludgetunnel]

Hillel Slovak rules...Those were the real chili peppers!!!

[scartissue94]

7:34 lol, hillel was swinging his guitar around

[toorude]

Too hot!!!

Jackie on the skins..

Slovak is unreal.

[evelknievel2000]

when I first saw this doc in '88 I was an instant fan! It just grabbed me and never let me go.

First time I've seen this in 21 years. Thx man!

Had some videofootage of pinkpop '88, but lost the tape somewhere down the line.

[giorgosfg]

kiedis looks like iggy pop with that hair...nice

[rcarreira77]

Love Flea's Worm Movement at 7:54!! Priceless!!!

[dillydean]

lol flea just gos off at the end lol and at 7:00 there just looking at them like wtf

[knil1991]

I love Anto's hair

[knil1991]

John Frusciante old 18 years in 1988

[RHCPFanMan15]

Slovak is an amazing underated guitarist!

[Bullet19881988]

yeah ! very amazing funky mixed style of guitar play !

he is underated

[Hvb101]

@RHCPFanMan15 Underdogs for live

[vivaelrock34]

flea amazing

[OrangeKewi8]

wow, they have changed

[begun101]

rick rubin!!

[sonoslain]

This is NOT part 1,I saw it when it was on television in Holland and have it on videotape

except for the first 10 minutes which got screwed up,I starts with all of them in a hotelbed in switzerland I think,the bass and drum parts with Jack and Flea are about halfway the documentary and Hillel does some freaky stuff on guitar after them.

[mariohbk]

AK didn't have the tatoos yet

[parlanus]

doncha mean magik johnson?

[dannybb92]

hey hey hey some pretty little ditty right there, lmao taht didnt surface tll years later

[Randomheid]

youtubedotcom/user/VPRO

[iunnodiapeys]

ahahha look at jack irons rat tail!!

[GreenColdCarrot]

Im reading scar tissue and im reading about this part of their lifes right now.

it says that anthont indeed was in some kind of rehab but when he got out he started using again. so he is't clean here.

must be one of the last footages of Hillel before hi OD'd. peaceandlove!

[kximike]

Hillel ODed just weeks after this video was shot... the day the band got back from the '88 tour of Europe.

RIP my friend.

[tthiiink]

no hillel died in europe not in america

[1337Egghuvud]

Holy shit, Flea was amazing even back then when he was so young! Splendid!

[nicole64123]

Anthony was dating, Ione, at this time, right? Or was it still Jennifer? ??? cofusedddd.

[sicktkdchick]

jennifer ione was around mother's milk i think

[nicole64123]

Which one? Jennifer or Ione? Jennifer Bruce, and Ione Sky. Ya know, i think it was Ione, cause jennifer was around like, freaky style if im not mistaken.

[RightBrigade]

Where are the interviews?!!

[Glendale1901]

Jack Irons was cute back then!

[TommieDee]

never heard jack irons speak

[wierdoman051]

what is this vpro thing?

[SybeSatellyt]

a marginal, smartassed dutch broadcaster.

[callum2903]

awsome

[cman86s]

most jewish people don't really get tattoos since it's agaisnt judaism

[ConorS1]

did hillel have a tattoo b4 he died?? that looked like a tattoo on his chest at 2:05-2:08

[SlashPwnage]

They probably wouldnt get a tatoo after he died

[JadedGracex]

He said before not after.

[JadedGracex]

No, Hillel didn't have any tattoos.

[nicole64123]

really?

[Drummerken]

At 1:44 till 1:54 it's just like Magik Johnson

[ilovetheRHCP4ever]

HILLEEEELLLLL  !!! ♥♥

[Peppers1girl]

Hey, where is Hillel?:-o =[

[JunkiesPromise]

He's in the video playing guitar...

[mg343]

haha look at jacks face, hes so calm while playing so hard and fast. Him and Hillel were so awesome in the red hots. I wonder what the band would be like now if they were still there, Hillel wouldn't put up with this pop-rock sound now R.I.P.

[akalabah]

flea's bass playing is amazing from 5:13 till 5:39

[onurborama]

Its Magic johnson. they start to perform this song around 1987.

[Irakione]

Yeah, thank you very much.

[shatu]

thanks for the video!

[guitareluver]

The intro to nevermind really sounds like magic johnson

[assie48]

it's amazing Anthony is still alive.

[xxpeppertjexx]

i love it!!!<3 but i don't get that children they just stand there...:P It rockssssssssssss <3

[akrhcp81]

nevermind

[ski21sr]

anthony was doing alot of heroin around this time--acording to his book

[nicole64123]

No, he was clean. 1988. Notice, fight like a brave. The lyrics. he wrote them when he was on the plane comming back to LA after going to meetings in michigan about drugs, and getting clean. =]

[Summsifrusciante]

This documentary is so great ^^

[may9th]

so you don't have it... that is too bad. do you know were i can find the whole one? this is cool, fantastic, great, beautiful, awesome, amazing, geweldig!

[anthonyflea]

flea is greatest..

[RHCPxAnthonyKiedisx]

THIS IS GREAT it looks so strange cuz its just so long ago

[thinkwwakd]

i love this so very very very very very very much!!!

thank you!

[calmar5T]

THX for uploading! interesting footage

[W114Benzie]

I'm sorry guys, I don't have it. This is captured from an old VHS tape. When I taped it back then from TV I used the pauze button a lot :-)

[TheFuzzysham]

Thanks for this, but yeah, like ponzapapa said, it would be very very very kind of you, please W114Benzie, upload the whole documentary =)

[ponzapapa]

Hey W114Benzie please put out the whole documentary, it's better with all the interviews and all that!

[beemb12]

omg, anthony with no tattoos!!

[maddermofo]

I thought I was a die-hard fan, but when you hear another fan noticing that I realise I need to perk up, although as far as I know the only time both John and Anthony had hair almost down to their backs was in 2006

[beemb12]

anthony did have his hair down to his lower back alot of the 80's and 90's, but you're right, i don't think john did till just the last few years, mostly it was short. there was a time when john quit the band that his hair was a little longer but it was all strangly and stuff when he was doing heroin, it's amazing cuz he has beautiful long hair!

[nicole64123]

oh wow. that is freakishly weird=)
