Red Hot Chili Peppers at Green Fest - Charlie

[CharlieFromStadium]

Charlie is another way to say imagination.

[mindfreak990]

5:29 Holy shit thats Josh! Foreshadowing?

[786Vahi]

Am I the only person who DOESN'T care what the song is about.

It's an awesome song. Just enjoy the music.

[SebaChannel]

what is this song about?

sorry i cant get the right translation

[19gastonazo70]

your bloodlest as snake. please! there´were noo second chance. you are dead. and no make any sign of live. just yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. your dead!!!!!!

can you see. no blood on your vains. love and scream. that´s the way to talk.

[iWentToNam]

i love the chorus of this song

[NortheasternHuskies]

@caiofiliper3- actually in the Stadium Arcadium commentary release, Anthony says Charlie is 'your imagination' but that it can also be your girl, drugs, or anything you want it to be, so youre right, but youre wrong.

[lukat93]

Greatest band in the fucking world

[kaca2903]

@aigmeyer Thanks. (: I thought it was him because of the hair, but i didn't know he was with them all the time...

P.S. How do you know that he is going to play instead of jonh? I mean, where did you get that information?

[aigmeyer]

@kaca2903 It was all around the internet last year.

[The3rdBaboon]

@kaca2903 He worked with them on stadium arcadium and was playing with them for most (or all?) of the tour after that album. Don't know how long he'll be their new guitarist, they probably don't even know themselves.

[ToxicAntony]

@The3rdBaboon He's been with them for over 10 years. He was backstage and I think he walks past Anthony and Anthony all "Hey look! It's Josh!" for the camera and introduces him an' all, this is on the Off The Map DVD which was released in 2001, so I have faith in him!

[kaca2903]

Who's the guy at 5:29 ? o.o

[aigmeyer]

@kaca2903 That would be Josh Klinghoffer, who is the Red Hot Chili Pepper's new guitarist, and was their touring guitarist

[stevebeard23]

FLEA is my Hero

[stevebeard23]

FLEA is my Hero

[musicplayer69]

there's something fun here: everyone is posting some comments about Josh but none has yet heard him play with the Peppers... sounds like a calomny to me

[daitheflu1]

lovely song!its makes me cry!

[jamiemyhamster09]

everyone who loves RHCP thumbs up

[Cupnoodlesz]

i love how flea tried to slow down to match with john's tempo. xD

[AfterNiandra]

listen to rhcp and especially JOHN FRUSCIANTE is the best the world ever gave me!!

[cardinaldriver]

Frusciante's prodigious guitar and amazing vocals will truly be missed by both the fans and the band. I don't think he will be coming back again any time soon...and that really sucks. John is a godsend to this band.

[medicinalsnowball]

Charlie is such a well-crafted funk jam.

[DAVIDDANTE7]

Pepole u should have been here. The cocnert was awsome!

[kennethjhogan]

Charlie is Cocaine. Not heroin.

[ruaridouglas]

@kennethjhogan Some folk are actually retarded eh.

[MrPanamericana]

3:29

[DardEvil1993]

the RHCP is my favourite band, but now the new guitarist of band is Josh Klingoffer!!

[Koldenenmaster]

@DardEvil1993 josh is not john but is a very good guitar player

[DardEvil1993]

wow!

[Koldenenmaster]

@DardEvil1993 wow?????????????

[DardEvil1993]

wow because Josh Klingoffer is a very good player!!!

[Koldenenmaster]

@DardEvil1993 oh ;) yeah is very good

[Koldenenmaster]

@DardEvil1993 it's good but is not john :)

[DardEvil1993]

yeah!! :)

[No1RHCPfan]

@Koldenenmaster i remember when hillel died. i thought hillel was irreplacable. now john frusciante is my favorite guitar player of all time. then again, dave navarro did a horrible job on one hot minute. don't get me wrong i love dave navarro's stuff with jane's addiction but one hot minute sucked in my opinion. so i don't exactly know what to think.

[Koldenenmaster]

@No1RHCPfan i tell you something, john frusciante is the best guitar player of red hot is like the white hendrix , josh klinghoffer is good but John is the best... in my opinion...

sorry 4 mi english.

[roadsidecoyotes83]

I don't normally post comments on youtube, but you can really start to see John gravitating towards the time of his desicion to leave the band. Watch the Charlie video from the Fugi Festival, its crazy to see.

[AnthonyKiedisAK]

No way john broke up with his girlfriend in this concert day... this is why he looks sad

[carlosfrusciante1]

It looks like anthony is trying to cheer up john, I duno why he looks so sad.

[zigmaister]

Omg you gotta love the bass! Flea 4 ever!

[CmnDmn]

he looks ruff as shit..gues he always has tho

[AnthonyKiedisAK]

@CmnDmn You mean Anthony?

[caiofiliper3]

Charlie is another way to say Heroine

[7Nicklord7]

LoL find lyrics of the song pls :)

[MrMostWanted146]

google it xD

[WhoReadsMyNameStinks]

Not heroine but cocaine

[cautionus]

@caiofiliper3 you mean cocaine?

[Koldenenmaster]

@caiofiliper3 cocaine

[Alenchina]

@caiofiliper3 Cocaine not Heroine. :)

[ZlaI9ZaI9]

@Alenchina Ololo xDDD

[281294NIRVANA]

@caiofiliper3

*cocain

THIS SONG ISN'T ABOUT DRUGS !!

[renegadepoptard]

@caiofiliper3 you mean cocaine?

[cbassizle]

Anthony has a shirt on?!? hahahhahaha

[u05ikoren]

it's at the beginnning of the show i think...

[Bubbles424tdb]

Who is charlie?

[deldiegu]

the 2nd chorus in this version is amazing cuz u can hear frusciante..even tired his voice is amazing..but i think the best Charlie version is the one they played at fuse..the 3rd chorus on the version is beautiful..u can hear an AK n JF both full of energy xD!

[deldiegu]

oops! sorry..the best version the one they played at Alcatraz,Milan (my bad) anyway look for that video is amazing ;)

[TheZLProductions]

AH TO SLOW! IT''S KILLING ME

[vizcacha5]

slow is the slane castle version of otherside

[SEBASSTIAN8]

slow very slow jajakjajajkjkjk pero no deja de ser uno de mis temas preferidos

[tbjbunkfho]

love this song^^

flea is awesome:P

though this one is slower then usual~_~

[maxy552]

John John John!!!!!

[TiSij]

this is a great song to drum along with!! :D just groove :P

[CAChills]

John Frusciante is my hero! I love his voice O.o

[parrboy7415]

@CAChills awkward.

[dekartrene]

awsome !

[PhilipDaq]

Not bassists perfom with long har but cutet down

[Malosovich]

i been meaning to ask

can they hear chad when he's couting off? start and finnish, I mean

[kooljsl]

probably they probably have amazing chemistry since they do on the spot jams and stuff.

[Smownage]

they might also use a click track

[doublebassaxisdrummr]

nope, chad doesnt have a click thru his monitors. just groove.

[Malosovich]

its sad that even an exhausted peppers still put on a better performance than most other bands of this age.

[moogerfooger55]

that just shows how good they are :]

[Malosovich]

parrot?

[JonasFreak124]

no one even boters with inprov anymore their all cover bands of themself

[Smownage]

that's not a bad thing.. if someone writes a good song, they're entitled to leave it as it is, a good song. improv is fun for the player and often fun for the listener... but if you've written something good, sometimes it's best just to leave it.

[patriots12]

john performs better when he has long hair

[lavo990]

All musicians do.

[msorte]

what??? craziest thing I ever heard

[sumsup2007]

geez...john reminds me of how he was back in 92 just before he quit the band, just stood there not jumpin around like he normally does....its strange how his interest has seemed to wane and now the chili's are on a 'hiatus', even flea looks like hed rather be somewhere else here!

[charliedearmound91]

couldnt agree more with you, i saw them back in 2006 and they were mentle, flea wore the skeleton suite and they were jumpin all over the place, then u look at this and the live earth performance (was still briliant though) and they dont move an inch

[sumsup2007]

yeah, i think they toured S.A. like crazy and it burned them out, and there are rumours of illness throughout the tour also, but still, i wont rest untill i hear the promising sounds of a new album or at least a return to gigs!

[kooljsl]

ya i know what you mean i think they just need a breather want to maintain the personal life in tact. but ya even John's solos to be aren't 100% his best. but i don't think they are going anywhere they usually take a 4 wait to release the next album so i wouldn't get worried until 2010 if they don't put out the next album soon.

[izenbutt]

I would agree that they are almost motionless in this sing. However, in the intro jam John was going crazy on his wah and whammy bar.

[meato77]

Thats what happens when you've been on tour for awhile.. You get burned out.. The music is tight, with them not showing to much emotion thats a indication that they are getting tired.. Be it the schedule or the rest of the band members, who knows but I do hope they don't call it quits. It would be awsome if they came out with solo albums.. I know Flea wanted to awhile back..

[kingofdash]

This was near the end of their tour. Plus its in Serbia. No one gives a shit about Serbia

[sumsup2007]

well, good points from all then, except the whole serbia thing, it just seems that their last performances were very tired and reminiscent of their japan tour from 92, ah well, chad said recently that they were going to further the hiatus for a while, i saw it on the web, basically it's because they have yet to find the proper enthusiasm and time to get back into the studio, i just hope they find the funk soon!

[Nickovitch2370]

When I saw them during the Stadium Arcadium tour in Chicago, they were very animated.

[Reborious]

Flea MURDERED that end jam :D And we even got a glimpse of Killinghoffer!!

[jackfender24]

i love the jam between flea and john at the end!

[damianpdm]

3:25 <3

[Horschty]

2nd chorus is really awesome.. johns voice -> goosebumps!

[rich920]

Fuck rhcp the Chorus at 1:55 is jhon sounds grest! :D Good !

[maryniaRHCP]

0:43 - oh, Anthony... :))

[MasonLogHead]

[hsolimpija17]

[downthesystem12]

[dedemaister]

i just love the chorus on 1:55..john sounds great!

[peterkehoe99]

this osng shows how good at bass flea is, its awesome, best song off the album and even better live!

[arcticmonkateer]

Iv listened to most of these Green Fest 07 vids now and it seems to me kiedis's voice is spot on in everyone!!!!!

Luv the chilis so much, best band in the world and theyr so energetic!!!

[antidote023]

this is much slower than the albums version, but i like

[bigpj09]

musically, that was the best version of charlie live ive ever heard. in other versions i feel like they rush it a lot

[rhcpxlove]

i agree!

[raph83130]

Great song!!!! Funk, punch, rock!!! RHCP!m!!

[adaz450]

they should really turn up johns mic....

[Retardinjo99]

[adamwhite450]

[Retardinjo99]

nvm look at my rhcp covers pls comment

[Xomep182]

I've been here!!!

[skinnysweatymanRHCP]

flea's such a joker singing his bit in the chorus, great little effect for the song though! josh is really useful in this song, sounds great with the two guitars

[Hektor88]

i love the peps, but Anthony's voice is always a bit...interesting live...

[rhcpxlove]

[robin440]
