[salfratuka]

[Diceman215]

Its ok Anthony.. If Flea was my friend I'd make love to him too.

[guest101ism]

Damn, You even have to know people just to go under a bridge in LA.

[tamunageorgia]

very sexy and cuddly

[BestExtazy]

[CanEHduh88]

@BestExtazy Ya, thats what im looking for. I came on youtube looking for that exact video because i just reached that part in his book! I wonder if it exists?

[Jackoo1511]

[sydneymassive]

Genius and a legend.

[tommybattz420]

he was hanging out with mario his drug dealer under a freeway that was never patrolled by the lapd he had to say he was marios brother in law to gain entry to the homeless mexican murderer druggie freeway underworld where he shot heroin with the lowest of low mexicanos for days laying on shitty dirty matresses with bums he would frequent this spot for a while or be at marios house shooting up with granny in the next room lol long story short read the book SCAR TISSUE

[JoeLeo823]

Under the bridge is about when he did mad heroine with his mexican friend mario i think. read the book, best book and most interesting ive ever read. Let alone the fact i love the chili peppers.

[xoDD20ox]

hmmm, salad comments are getting a bit played out ... haha

but anthony kiedis was fucking hot when he was younger 

[jimimyhero]

What's this about a salad?

[bmillerdrums]

@jimimyhero A sad ballad...

[boydman117]

I could really go for a caesar salad with croutons right now.

[eMiLyRoSe735]

I can totally relate to this. And how he was feeling at that time. Ive never done drugs, but everyone feels alone.

[SandmanJAAE]

under the bridge is a salad!!

[nikola4thelolz]

[Alicelove]

@nikola4thelolz it's a baseball cap, what is wrong with you?

[nikola4thelolz]

@Alicelove i know that he's wearing a baseball cap, but what brand is it...

[gamerlife247]

[ObviousTwilightLover]

"Which is a salad..ballad, if you will." ♥ ♥ Fucking Anthony.

[DanAgger5]

Everything about this song is beautiful. The lyrics, the guitar, the bass, the drums. They just flow so beautifully and this is, in my opinion, the greatest song ever written!! RHCP=Greatest band ever

[IKIrocks]

*_______*

[anyghost]

for the love of god i can't tell if he was serious when he called under the bridge a salad and made a mistake or if was just joking

[Kilovolver]

@anyghost I Think he was calling it a salad combining "sad" and "ballad", as he after said "a ballad, if you will..." Just my guess

[chrischance87]

@Kilovolver mmm salad...

[delaney803]

2:15 he forgets the words to one of the most iconic and brilliant songs of our generation.... AND HE WROTE IT!!!! Ah all due respect to him though for writing the song and inspiring many others such as myself to play music

[sharpsuitedmod]

the way he talks reminds me of drederick tatum from the simpsons

[kimsielovesjourney]

@sharpsuitedmod he also reminds me of neal schon!!!:D haha:)

[thall051893]

whats with the guy swimming at the end?

[MagdaS]

@thall051893 As I can remember, it's flea.

[MagdaS]

@thall051893 nah.. sorry. my mistake. I'm sure of it now, it's definitely Anthony. :)

[laggersgetchopped]

i see massive similaritys between this guy and madchild from swollen members....two musicians that fought through very heavy opiate addiction and seem to share the same views looking back on it.

[tamaking86]

cracked.com goes in to great detail, such as this youtube video, in references about what they talk about. Thanks, cracked.com =]

[vgmgc]

[QLADILLACONO]

1 person sell drugs under a bridge

[blake2112]

@QLADILLACONO

One person needs to leave this shit alone.

Actually way more than one person. But seriously, stop.

[algerhistogram]

low depths of incomprehensible demoralization? that sounds rough.

[vgmgc]

@algerhistogram Demoralization is straight up psychology terminology.

[FoodBasedLubricant]

@vgmgc Junk psychology? Wait! JUNKIE psychology? SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!!?

[sasquatchsully]

[JamesIsMyNamo]

I disliked RHCP until I saw this, he's awesome.

[crazymusiclady1]

[Ian6178]

under the bridge is probably one of the best salads of all time

[schnids1605]

@Ian6178

agreed. who doesn't love under the bridge salad

[floralsky]

i will forever now remember under the bridge as being a salad.

[purplegirlerin301]

@floralsky "balad if you will"

[oaxaca911]

@floralsky i wont, did u see the rest of the video?

[floralsky]

@oaxaca911 yes, i watched the entire video, and funky monks, but it still sticks in my head the fact that under the bridge is a salad. lol.

[dancetospongebob]

This is from a documentary the Chili's did called "Funky Monks" It's all about the recording of BSSM and the band living together during that time. It's worth the watch, and it think it's available on DVD :)

[AshPalaceMusic]

This is a fantastic vid, and I've seen alot of RHCP videos, where is this taken from?

[waassaa123]

Under the bridge, one of their greatest songs. RHCP
