Red Hot Chili Peppers - True Men Don't Kill Coyotes (Los Angeles 1984-03-16)

[GreatOldDesire]

ANTHONY HAS LIMBS OF RUBBER

[BeerBaron73]

I do like Cliff's drumming :)

[Anne001Gleuson]

nossa que relíquia!!!

[FaultyPly]

Those are what we call "Speedballs", children.

[shantelleg7]

jack gets absolutely NO SHINE LMAOOOO

[1234watsup4321]

little did this crowd know they were watching the first television performance of what would soon be one of the most popular bands around

[bmillerdrums]

Anthonys singing was quite bad in this one

[vsftin]

cliff martinez got the chili peppers' spirit back then. jack sherman simply didn't.

[p15t0lpet3]

umm...drugs?



[sideikiedis]

top 10 best songs of RHCP

[snabelsnokEN92]

This is why i got the chili peppers logo tattoo on my wrist!

[Joko67NZ]

What is that jacket AK is wearing. Why? It must be the brothers cup jacket? That jacket saved his life from midget mexican one day, I've always wanted to see it!

[cursedswordsman]

@Joko67NZ What are you talking about? I'm going to assume it's a Scar Tissue thing.

[duney]

Is that not Jack Sherman rather than Hillel?

[squashbucket70]

HILLEL!

[overcomingravity]

@squashbucket70 that's not hillel

[SKOTP69]

This is GEEEE-NIIIIIII-USSSS!!!!!

[cursedswordsman]

Listen to this, then go listen to any song on I'm With You.

Man. How things have changed.

[skater4t]

they evolved so much! kiedis went from yelling to singing. Funktastic tho.

[faridjabba]

ver y funk

[mcashx87x]

blizzard of 78' must have been going on in anthonys nose that night.

[SilkySkillsUnited]

If you saw these guys on TV in 1984, would you seriously think they would become one of the biggest bands ever!?

[Mefreudi]

@SilkySkillsUnited hahaha good point

[Lolwoo1]

This is awesome stuff! Their music now is so boring!! But how did Anthony grow up to have so much confidence when he apparently was a drug addict, I've never known addicts to have that much energy and vitality...I think he's exagerated the drug bit..really!!!!

[MrPurpleFreak]

@Lolwoo1 Their music now is "so boring"? Go end your life now please. Never once have the Chili Peppers been boring.

[MrPurpleFreak]

@Lolwoo1 Their music now is "so boring"? Go end your life now please. Never once have the Chili Peppers been boring.

[kaplanjoedudugames]

Jack sherman looks like one brazillian guitarrist called "Chimbinha"

[matheusvenanc]

@kaplanjoedudugames chimbinha mano kkkkkk

[MikesPetUnicorn]

You can tell that Alan Thicke doesn't want to introduce him.

[SuperGuitarPassion]

lol anthony makes me laugh cuz he is so crazy here...

and by crazy i mean FUCKING INSANE !!!!

[ParisTheMan1990]

Pfff red hot chilli peppers back then was really bad in my opinion now they are great!! I cant hear this thing :S

[hahah3425]

@ParisTheMan1990 dude they were great back then now they suck they all sound the same now

[Andy62697]

@ParisTheMan1990 then your not a true fan

[added23]

@ParisTheMan1990 honestly dont judge it by this performance, when i first started listening to rhcp i didnt like their old shit either but now its my favourite stuff to listen to.

anthony is a newb at singing in this video and thats why he starts to kind of loose his voice near the begininning of the performance. but the musics great, it just might take you time to realize that.

[reeblite]

oh, now i see where lady gaga got her fashion sense.

[snakefinger]

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CANT FUCKING HEAR THIS???

[cooperiscool9]

HOLY FUCK SCAR TISSUE IS AMAZING

[richard911112]

john frusciante was just 14 years old i gues (1970) lol

[mildseven2006]

AWESOME. I`m reading Scar Tissue for the first time right now, and having Youtube to look up the old stuff like this is the best shit ever. Thanks for the upload!

[undervenued]

holy shit, they have come so far in 25 years

Flea's bass is really good though

[undervenued]

holy shit, they have come so far in 25 years

[Drummerboyy26]

Wow I wonder how much heroin they did b4 that lol xD

[Jirloow]

@Drummerboyy26 heroin would probably slow them down more :P

[DoubleO711]

@JohnEddy123 I think their music from all eras can be called amazing. It's different yes and it is amazing how much their style changed. But the music is all great in different ways.

[robitosdude]

oh... i see where lady gaga got her fasion instinct :P

[ZagaPig]

@sixsixseveneight Tony = Anthony.

[ranmore30]

@JohnEddy123 man you have to appreciate that this is a bunch of young guys having fun, the song is decent, i wouldnt call it a masterpiece but it would be pretty sweet live

[ranmore30]

I'm liking jack sherman's telecaster, i have one just like that

[04callwilk1]

Theres a very good chance that Flea and AK snorted Coke before they went on stage :)

[dudumoraes1000]

true men don't kill coyotes cover guitar

/watch?v=grXzucKsVcE

[guiguipvn]

Anthony's Hair RED - EPIC

[stidu]

Kiedis singing hurts my ear on this one.....but its fun as hell hahaha

[aigmeyer]

I hate how Jack doesn't play a single real solo

[Arianah4117]

This is the first time I see Anthony sing with the microphone off the pole.

[luciferslefthandlady]

@Arianah4117 lol, and the job he has getting the thing back in the stand is probably the reason he leaves it there usually. awesome clip though. love fleas body paint.

[kaplanjoedudugames]

Jack Sherman Looks Like "Chimbinha",one Brazillian Guitar Player

[necklacing]

amazing. tony is coked out of his tree!

[cicciofabr]

look at flea's face at 2:04! it's amazing i love it!

[mangowilliepepper]

Awesome. thanks for posting.!

[MEXICANOcomeCACA]

this was rhcp all about!, first 4 records the greatest!

[Godwad]

Thanks for posting this.

[chido979]

lol he laughs when he says that rhcp describes their music as bone crunching... lol 5 mins later he ended up in a wheelchair!

[cj1419]

I "like" zero dislikes on this video

[fendermaxime]

flea = a ginger that do have a soul

[k0stil]

Sherman looks weird with that costume

[ChillestVibe]

Wow, you can really tell that Sherman didn't fit in with them..

[lenirhcp]

[adebicki]

@zperson911 LOL

[TheKerrigan55]

Hahaha i love RHCP

[icedbannanas]

much respect to the host of the show, he seems a good sport

[ralphroulette]

I've been a die hard fan since 1992 and have seen extensive footage but this is definitely the earliest live footage i've seen. god bless the guy who put this one up.

[therockandroller]

bahaha lookit jack sherman that preppy bastard i wonder if he has his fingerease

but flea and anthony are crazy :P

[korvidkrow96]

bahahahahhha.

[jwild611]

[RHCP1231]

4:02 Star of David!!

[shaharrr53]

@RHCP1231 שיר חייתי :)

[jared33647]

whats on fleas bass? it looks so awesome!

[DavidMRyanMD]

Its even better the 2nd time,The BROTHERS CUP!!!!

[jwild611]

I personally love Anthonys vocals here. A great mix of punk, funk and rock. I loved Sherman here too although he seemed nervous

[msploszaj]

This is great! Shows RHCP before they sold out.

[jackiscool619]

@msploszaj Man, seriously, shut the fuck up.. How did they sell out? They became popular, which isn't selling out, it's what happens. Selling out is Iggy Pop who's doing insurance commericails now. They never sold out, only went from un-known to popular. I'm sure a part of them always wanted to be famous so not embracing their fame would have made them fake. Fucker.

[msploszaj]

@jackiscool619 Hey jackisafag619...RHCP are sell outs because of their faggy soft music vs. the hard in your face style they once had. So fuck you and the pussy you came out of.

[mrbassman25]

@msploszaj

they just mellowed out with age... also being T-Total has an effect on their music as well as line-up changes and improvement on skill with instruments.

they were smacked out of their heads on heroin in this era and god knows what,

but you are entitled to your opinion as am i , and atleast we can always look back into the archives of when they were bone crunching mayhem funk !! ;) lol

[quanmandetil]

@msploszaj Theres a big difference between soft music and bad music. Personally I think the red hot chili peppers were amazing every step of the way, every single album from this to Stadium Arcadium.

[LeopoldStotch23]

THanks for uploading but uh is it really necessary to put your name in the middle of the f*cking screen?

[hautelick]

@LeopoldStotch23 A great example of an up-front, back-handed compliment; it had to said and also made me LOL, as they say nowadays.

Well played, sir.

[wilksbamf]

This is back before Anthony Kiedis went permanently shirtless...and it kicks ass!!! RHCP roots!

[catherinewheels11]

thanks for uploading this gem! this is the only footage we have of the 1984 lineup playing live (apart from a few seconds from the debut album EPK). for what Anthony was lacking in singing, he more than compensated with raw energy. great stuff!

[urof]

Cool video but.. Jack really sucks. He sound so... Pretty and without power :<

[DavidMRyanMD]

No thats Cliff & Sherm,Cliff is SOLID!!!I If you have ever read Anthont Kieduss Book "Scar Tissue" He Described Sherm to a "T" This is So Fuckin COOL & Great Quality for wherever this came!

[The199322]

Oh my god!incredible,ultra rare video!!!Thank you lenirhcp!

[12rhcpfan]

Wow! 1984 they are making their first ever T.V appearance. 20 years later 2004 they're headlining concert venues like Hyde Park.

[DavidMRyanMD]

Wow this is SO Fuckin Awsome & Rare,THANK YOU for posting!!!!!!!!!!

[LamciaTybetanski]

They have FUNKED this tv performance UP !!! Love'em !

[jwild611]

sooo.AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit its so cool to see this

[LeftCoastGator]

Oh my God, I saw this as a kid! It's pretty funny, Thicke told Flea he looked like Little Orphan Annie, and Flea -- who was coked out of his MIND -- screams "Little Orphan Annie's Fanny!" I never thought I'd see this again, thanks for posting.

[SeitxiS]
