RHCP - Knock Me Down (original long version)

[lluukkeeeekkuull]

anyone know why anthony's hand is bandaged in the last photo?

[Cubehead666]

@lluukkeeeekkuull Motorcycle accident.

[catzdadcatz]

hmmm I prefer edited version... maybe cos i'm used to it.

[cillianc09]

i prefer the version with frusciante mixed higher on vocal

quality track though :D

[Shredderman186]

Ever since I first heard this version, the short version sounds incomplete to me.

[Skaternick911]

The Israeli Cowboy

[falconserek]

Oh and it's a masterpiece too.

[andyth07]

well...I dont know if I like tthis version or not....I guess Im not used to ....

[Zephyesa]

hmm very gay

[LukasVidalSaldias]

@Zephyesa

Fuck you, it's a song didecated to Hillel Slovak >:'c

[Zephyesa]

@LukasVidalSaldias so its still gay

[waluigithecool2]

@Zephyesa

If you understand their history, MAYBE you would understand this song. But you're mind is cock-blocked.

[Zephyesa]

@waluigithecool2 whats 'cock blocked?'

[KSAntiNoob]

@waluigithecool2 don't feed the troll, man

[waluigithecool2]

0:30

LAWL Flea's face

[RHCPaddicted98]

3:20 :D AWESOME PICTURE!

[SHJimmy87]

This song it's beautiful. It was written with the heart. RIP Hillel.

[punkrockzoie]

I feel like the new verses clash with the old. I much prefer the shorter version.

[maulanawahyudi]

awesome,

I love you Red Hot Chili Peppers

[jacoblonewolf]

I really enjoy doing this song over the original album/radio version. I didn't get into the Chilis until "By the Way". I find the music "speaks" to something inside of me. I've listened to the self titled album up to "Stadium Arcadium" since. I've found each album to be an original experience, from "True men Don't kill Coyotes" until "Death of a Martian". I've heard the latest single and am awaiting the new album.

[imakerealramen]

I personally like this version only because the verses are so beautiful, it's such a great tribute to hillel

[SuperGorak]

Aaah the times when everything was better except for Anthony's voice......... :)

My opinion, so excuuuuuse me, princess

[mizzpipedream]

john frusciante is the geilest sau ever

[bergjasper]

@Chikawowwow101 Same, this one is cool too but the other version I think is better as for the verse that's different in this one ^^.

[Chikawowwow101]

@bergjasper actually i don't know which one's better

[MrCheez1]

3:56 starts what sounds like "torture me" guitar wise

[sprengmeister3]

It's Frusciante, right?

By the way (:D), this is our Aeroplane cover. It is just Improv but I think it's nice to hear nevertheless :) Please rate.

/watch?v=vjAm_MCZ71k

[epicpwnr1]

the short version doesnt make sense to me

[bigtom737]

@epicpwnr1 i think the short version transitions better like between verses and choruses and stuff and sounds like a better composed song but there's a lot in the lyrics of the long version that never should have been taken out

[Sabaylah]

I love this version and the pictures are nice, rhcp look like they have lots of fun together.

[KnckMeDwn]

oh man that picture at 0:20

[JADsGames]

This sounds like it had the fuck edited out of it. As in, they went back and added stuff into it.

[nunopumpkin]

it's so weird to listen to this version,

looks like a mash up from some stupid kid of you tube lol

[pollomartian]

This better than shorter.

[metalteen56]

RHCP Is more than a band , its a lifestyle , a theraphy . a new world to good music :)

[djina0605]

@metalteen56 I swear to good, I if I didn't start listening to them I would have probably killed myself.

[djina0605]

@metalteen56 so true! omg they changed my life! <3

[1999californication]

the shorter is much better!

[Mythe66]

I like the bass better on the single-issue

[CuteHotChiliPeppers]

Where'd you get all these pics???

[MrPkmnmasta395]

all of the original versions of the songs sound way better than the studio version

why didn't they just stick with long version 

[musicsquid]

@MrPkmnmasta395 I think they got pressured into shortening by the record company and the producer for the sake of it becoming a single?

[ienjoyhoagies]

I had this CD when I was in middle school.

I remember reading the lyrics to this song and there were a bunch of extra lyrics that weren't in the album version and wondering "what the hell are these extra lyrics for?"

Well I guess I have my answer like 15 years later.

But yeah, the way the extra lyrics were inserted into song sound awkward.

[lokalllize]

Red Hot forever like Hot chilli peepers 

[cantsnapurpicture]

damn that guy was right, the chords are basically the same ones as john frusciante's bedroom lick.

[FruscianteSlovak]

Hillel Slovak <3

[BRUTALDEATHn]

@FruscianteSlovak It's frusciante in this album...

[falconserek]

@BRUTALDEATHn This song is a tribute to mr. Hillel...

[1234watsup4321]

@FruscianteSlovak john frusciante played guitar in this song

[FruscianteSlovak]

@1234watsup4321 i think you don't get the clu of my comment.... poor guy.

[1234watsup4321]

@FruscianteSlovak is it because of the song being about hilel?

[FruscianteSlovak]

@1234watsup4321 sure, what else?

[Andrewthegreathobo]

i want these chili peppers back

[beyondgirl]

it's so lonely when you dont even know yourself

[ilovememi]

oh and i enjoy that they took more time on the instrumentals

[ilovememi]

the drums are louder too

[DavidMRyanMD]

Sorta Cool backwards parts,never heard this!

[CuteHotChiliPeppers]

4:28 shows the Ernie toy that John gave to Clara for her birthday :)

[MrThorp1]

i guess i just like the original version better, these "extra" verses, just dont seem to fit.

[tvrulesnation]

Is it really the same song? like it doesn't meld properly (ie progression), sounds poorly edited unlike Mothers Milk.

[yellofury]

@tvrulesnation I am a big fan and I have to agree if I were to be honest

but its still has a "neat" factor

[tvrulesnation]

@yellofury

Sorry for slow wb was on holidays, ay it doesnt sound good when put together but judging verse by verse its still good.

This is probs a very loose version of the whole song somewhat completed in studio that was going to be re-done & edited to make it a better studio version, maybe this was something the producers were playing with & somehow leaked to the internet? Cause it sounds far too messy to be the possible finished professional product of the song

[GeorgiaGeorgia8D]

@tvrulesnation shsh. noone cares

[tvrulesnation]

@GeorgiaGeorgia8D

How about you fuck off telling me to shut up when clearly i was answering something for somebody else

[GeorgiaGeorgia8D]

@tvrulesnation baha settle down

[alexmoznik777]

where did you find those pictures there amazing????!!!

[dismntledsoul1]

songs a tribute to Hillel Slovak their first guitarist that od on heroine. the talent destroyer

[dismntledsoul1]

cool vid!

[KICKDRIP]

thats good : )

[XPUPA]

rchp=4EVA

[dontyougetitidiots]

They really brought out the slap bass in the version on what hits. - Much prefer this version however as it no longer sounds as key-less.

[fer1284]

la voz de antony se escuchaba mucho mas. Me parece bien el pedazo que le sacaron, no pegaba

[sunkyyy]

craziest people i've ever saw, but i still love them (:

[angrywolf8]

Nice song

The picture at 2:21 i have that one as a giand poster!

[adebicki]

whoa, what was that weird bridge? i've never heard this version before..

[struvita]

bons tempos....

[temptra62]

anthony looks like my cousin patrick and I cud not do anything...so frustrating....grrrrrr

[sikbitch]

ure a whore

[theMYSTERYofMARTIN]

violins in this version are dope

[sixtyeightspecial]

I think they did the right thing in editing it down.

[madkidftw]

i think the original fits together better but still an amazing song. Then again the 2003 mastering is rubbish

[slimjimpizza]

i like this version better

[safari8soldier]

I want John's Hendrix top @ 3.56!

[Bridget9311]

the pictures in this video make my life complete. tight as hellll.

[arcticnoordpool]

at 2.07... is that john frusciante with the glasses?

[galbo91]

yea, is john frusciante

[galbo91]

yea, is john frusciante

[SantiRedOx1]

it's me or it sounds like the extra verses, where added to the actual recording from the '89, that's why doesn't fit very well

[SlasherMiniFilms]

@SantiRedOx1 Believe it or not, thats the actual recording from the '88 sessions, but the extra verses were edited out

[SantiRedOx1]

@SlasherMiniFilms, Thanks... very rare really... well here we can hear the magic of editing :P

[chiaramegan]

at 2:21 the guy on the right looks like River Phoenix...but I guess it's John

[thwipp]

i like the version that made the album much better. it's interesting to hear this version but the other flows so much better. thank god for good producers.

[SpamNapkin]

the Mellotron is a nice touch.

[bill14231393]

will is such a good drummer

[GalacticBoss]

his name is chad XD

[bill14231393]

nah b thats will ferrell.

[thewhochilipeppersU2]

i accidently bought this one on iTunes tonight, but I'm disatified cuz I prefer it without the extra lines!

[bcwarlock926]

i didnt like it as much as first either but i got used to it and now i really like it

[silight86]

what a awesome version!!!!!!!!!!

[Ju1ceem4n]

is that the old rhcp?

[bcwarlock926]

1989

[bcwarlock926]

the sections in this are good, but they dont fit

[DrJemini777]

The short version flows better to me. Besides that John is one of the best guitar players ever!!!! His style has influnced my guitar playin so much!!!!!!!

[AlpsSoul]

i love this version !!!

[lurvleelaydee]

i love the shorter version more but i suppose ill get used to this one in time :D

[vansbrand]

I like the shorter version better. It has the superfunky bass slap in it on the chorus. This is great too though!

[neanngis323]

I absolutely LOVE this song.

[goodinbed64]

whered you get these pics?!?!?!?!?!?

happy 20th bday mothers milk!!!

hahaha anthonys shirt at 1:15! "real men wear black"

[sharkmen007]

wow this version is aewsome

[69nixon69]

i prefer this version. It seems pointless to cut so much good stuff out of the song

[SagaLee00]

great song!  Madona- 2:35

[typo1337]

i think they cut these parts out form the original because...withouth them theres a better "flow" however the lyrics in these cut parts are quite touching

[littlepea91]

it is my favourite song of RHCP but I don't know which version I like more... maybe that shorter...

[nickthecomedian]

when i bought there album called sadium arcadium i was amazed by the bass.

[Josip185]

Then you should listen to Blood Sugar Sex Magik album. :D

[eliexmute]

Omg!!! Where can I get pics like these!!? From where!!!? :(

Like from yes 89 90 like mothers milk album time... Where?

[macolyfran]

the best

[elizabethbeatles]

I can say I am not their biggest fan (stupid thing to say) but I have been listening them since forever and never got tired of them, they have always been my friends in need.:/ happy or sad...

[VaultMusic105]

I cant say Im their biggest fan but they are my all time favorite band and I like ALOT of bands. Every single thing they did was amazing, I like every single one of their songs. They are the Best LIVE band EVER and one of the best bands ever.

[ByTor190]

Kind of odd, but quite good.

[peaonflea33]

yeah the original is soooo much better. they shouldnt of cut it out!

[xxxnickrhxxx]

john had alot of looks

[SKRDELUXE]

desconocia esto!!! gracias por subirlo!!

saludos de argentina

[pinkxclaudia]

i've been a die-hard chili fan since I was 11.

[brianizzle3]

thanx for nothin bitch

[thisisforjohnny]

john was so hot!

the hottest pepper.

LOL.

[idiadi]

perfect song

[Hankandthetanktops]

good pic montage!

[Siffman910]

man they were really good bac in the day

[R1ch1ter]

oh yes, the were so brilliant, now kiedis pledges his servitude to obama... pathetic, they lost in time so much :(

[AnthoniiDimech]

the red hot chili peppers  are one of the most incredible bands ever despite anything

[dima9917]

they have always been,

[Vinivinilombardi]

Red Hot = the best band forever

[Rajcevic666]

I never heard this version before!! I think both are good!!!

sorry for my english if you don´t understand me but I speak spanish XD

[iamcoolest11]

haha, i have to stop this video every two seconds, so i can save the pictures.

p.s - both versions rule.

[timbertruck]

I love the red hot chili peppers, listening to them since I was 16, I am now 29 and still feeling the love. Goddamn love this shit man!!!

[fdalkjfdsalkj]

i still prefer the original version, but this version is cool too. The buildup to the chorus is definitely more intense.

[memercyme]

woww the long versionn. :)

[MobsterOfRock]

HELL YES HELL YES!!!! RHCP is da bomb! :-)

[GalGx007]

rhcp is the best band ever

[rhcpfan84]

man when kedis sings about hillel you can tell he really means every word when he sings it (knock me down) (my Lovely Man) (and some songs in by the way)

[vivianne2503]

of cause there is a little similarity to miss you of the rs , but there is nothing bad to it, that just shows their sympathie to the stones and their song. and a little inspiration cant be too bad while making new songs!!!!

[sixtyeightspecial]

This is just far too long and fucked-up sounding for my liking. The album version is far better, imo.

[chjohnst]

I dont hear anything that sounds similar to miss you by RS in this song.

[Jadix]

it is pretty much the exact same phrase as the riff from Miss You

[colmitch]

The chili peppers hate the stones, and this version is the best of the two

[KoreaFlea]

Wow! You're a fan

red hot chili peppers

[kmax1189]

this song is incredibly deep.

[mailadam]

tell me he does not look like will ferrel?

[heety9]

I actually like this version better. :)

[AlLigamGun]

and of curse i don't mean the whole song, but listen to "Miss you" and probably you'll catch what i mean

[AlLigamGun]

ok ppl, now don't lynch me and shit, maybe it's only cause i'm weird, but don't you see a similarity between this and "Miss You" by the great Rolling motherfucking Stones? i like RHCP and i'm not attacking them or anything, it just seems to me they were...strongly inspired by that RS song in this case:P

[hitithudson]

This just seems too long...it gets kind of tired near the 3 minute mark. The other version is JUST right. And where the fuck is the pop in the chorus?!

[riderx30]

y does it matter wut version is better? jus enjoy the music

[Narmycats]

not enough bass in this audio

[jRoHaCnPa]

I prefer the other version..

But this version still good enought to say that Red Hot Chili Peppers are the bestband EVER.

[barsuk707]

GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!

[phryedbanana]

Oh my God, those boys were so cute.

[minisando123]

the shorter version is better

[bius90]

az a hajjjj! :)D no meg a zene sem utolsó :D

[gnfnr211]

Album version better

[Gargolian1]

Peppers ruled big time in those days.. I miss it.

I love that song, I find the albumversion better though.

[RZubie94]

i dont think they shouldve changed their old styles of clothes and hair, but you know they matured , but honestly woulda been awesome if they didnt change

[shotbythepope]

I think if they didn't mature, no one would notice them at all. I think the only reason they're still alive and kicking is cuz they're aging gracefully. Like The Ramones said after the broke up, you always see old bands like The Rolling Stones playing the same old songs and they're getting old. And thats sad. Because they're not doing it for money and yet they dont bother to evolve. They're just doing it because they feel they have to.

[vanessaRHCP]

3:48 XD

[chumpnl]

I've the cd

[imQaQsped]

that make no sense you use i've like "i've done it." not "i've the cd"

[chumpnl]

so what ...

you know what i mean!

[David28587]

the pic by 3:39 fits perfect :) good slideshow

[TheFuzzysham]

Thanks for watching! :)
