Hillel Slovak - 19 years without him

[777LUZBEL]

cual es el el tema de hendrix que estan tocando???

[comicheroes50]

RIP Slovak

[ThrashRoC]

Good Player , and iThink frusciante did a great job on "blood sugar sex magic" because he sounds really like hillel , he "absorbed" his sound , uses a stratocaster too (like me ;-D), and made a GREAT tribute to hillel slovak on this record , he must be proud of John .

[vsmcax1007]

This video has inspired me many times over...it makes up for that the LA Times only talked about Perry Ferrell after this show back in...'87 was it?

[sylicone221]

worm food 

[bitbandita]

The song is Jimi Hendrix's 3rd stone from the sun.

[vinnieIbz]

[NickLynyrdSkynyrd]

[MatrenaTrofimovna]

[MatrenaTrofimovna]

I love Hillel's Peppers much better than with the rest

[0LostAngel0]

Great man...R.I.P.

[festeringfigment]

does anyone no where i can listen to the full cover

[amanrob]

Days when they just were a Band having fun and being crazy. I miss those old days and Hillel was a big part of that.

[amanrob]

I was very young but I remember those early chili pepper day

[IV6995]

I am living in the same city that Slovak was born in..Haifa, and i feel greatly happy and honored by that..Godly guitarist..Rest in Peace.

תנוח על משכבך בשלום, יהי זכרך ברוך.

[MrCheez1]

[bmxfan13]

[mocowacoargh]

will klighoffer ever live up to his predecessors?

[DrMantecol]

@mocowacoargh Hope so.

[amygotback]

even though hillel died five years before i was born, he is still a major influence on my life. he was amazing RIP

[FrizAtHome]

RHCP's Guitarists. Best-Worst

1. John Frusciante/Hillel Slovak (They both deserve first)

2.Josh Klighoffer

3. Dwayne McKnight

4. Jack Sherman

5. Arik Marshall

6. Jesse Tobias

7. Dave Navarro Fuck you Navarro.

[ganareporever]

@FrizAtHome Navarro is not bad, he is only weird

[Frt666]

@ganareporever seconded, i really don't like his lennon hippie like look.

[jelmerdebom]

@FrizAtHome i don't think you can put klinghoffer in there already. i mean you haven't heard him in the chili peppers yet.. i bet he will live up to becoming 2nd in your list but who knows, maybe he'll be better than frusciante (im pretty sure he wont though :p)

[jwild611]

@FrizAtHome I agree with choice 1 other than that though terrible, stupid list. Why the fuck do you got Blackbyrd at 3? And what the fuck is wrong with Navarro his work on OHM was brilliant and beautiful. dick,

[FrizAtHome]

@jwild611 I wrote this so long ago, since then I have studied the chili peppers much more. My updated list would be:

JF/Hillel (still)

Dave Navarro

Josh Klinghoffer

Arik Marshal

Dwayne McKnight

Jack Sherman

Jesse Tobias

[Psychedenzo]

this is a cover of

third stone from the sun - jimi hendrix

[nictruf]

third rock from the sun!! that's where he is right now, watchin' us....

[CyrLiam]

Hillel's guitar is sex to my ears, it's so beautiful in my opinion he's better than John, but John is still fucking mind blowing as well.

May Hillel have all the Catholic School Girls he craves rock in peace!

R.I.P

[ranmore30]

RIP hillel, you didn't deserve to die

[IdRatherbeDeaddd]

@ranmore30

i tthink if you take heroine you do mate.

youre just asking for it really aint ya.

[ranmore30]

@IdRatherbeDeaddd yea i suppose your right, its a pretty obvious way to die

[sylicone221]

@ranmore30 he's worm food heheheheehe

[SludgeMudge130]

john frusciante is a hack

[zxcdf19]

pls write tabs for this song, here or send me prv msg on youtube only main rif

[KenneyB18]

Didn't know shit about the peppers til i read anthony's book where anthony makes it clear that Hillel was one of a kind. RIP

[doraloka2005]

Brilliant man.

[RedHotChiliPrimus]

Best thing that ever happened to RHCP was Hillel Slovak dying,sad but true

[malakas13th]

@RedHotChiliPrimus best thing was taking up frusciante, not losing a friend!

[SebasMarinS]

@RedHotChiliPrimus what an ignorant fuck. Hillel was absolutely brilliant, and so is Frusciante.

[Xiolablu3]

@RedHotChiliPrimus What a lkoad of crap, Slovak was incredible, watch the live 1985 stuff. Fruciante actually bases his playing off Slovak.

[red88dari]

HILLEL R.I.P.

[SamHain1031666]

I just finished reading Scar Tissue. R.I.P Hillel, Tonys lucky he didnt end up the same, fucking mirracle

[AFB12131415]

Rest In Peace Hillel. Everyone knows Michael Jackson died today but not everyone knows who you are. ou made the Chilis, May God Bless You

[sylicone221]

@AFB12131415 did he die the same day as michael jackson?

[AFB12131415]

@sylicone221 same day but not the same year.

[Rasiak98]

Tomorow is 22 death's anniversary ... [*]

[SweetKooshy]

hah flea with his red fro..fuckin awesome. and damn...hillel you would be a legend right now. rest in peace.

[leissurew]

I think it's like

[Luis400319]

hillel was a great great guitarist sadly he died he would of surely been a legend

[kanwulfNL]

john is so much better then hillel

[Bassman0Nate]

@ kanwulfNL

that might be true, but hillel put just as much heart into his playing, let's respect him for his work.

[sylicone221]

@Bassman0Nate he is worm food! heheeh a rotting corpse heheheee

[BlackFordStanHorses]

22 years coming up :'(

[errincon]

And he died 3 days later?

[1ctrlf]

RHCPFanMan15 he is Hillel Slovak :)

[RHCPFanMan15]

Lol i know. I am just saying many people sadly don't know who he is. He is one my favorite guitarist.

[1ctrlf]

LOL but he is a great player ... but now he still sings the Gift from the RHCP

[RHCPFanMan15]

Yeah a true expert. Beyond amazing player

[1ctrlf]

yeah.Sem duvida...

mas ele ainda toca nos RHCP?

[alberto1034]

naum veioo ele morreu de overdose de heroina

[cannibalonXthedead]

@RHCPFanMan15 then again mostr people only listen to BSSM onward. most have no idea what they were in the 80's it's sad

[RHCPFanMan15]

Got an amazing unknown guitarist!

[jucharic]

hillel is the best!!!

[olliepool1]

RIP HILLEL

[k0stil]

THIRD STONE FROM THE SUN???

HOLY SHIT!

didn`t know that they played it!!!

[mikeadk]

I got to see Hillel on the Uplift '87 tour in Pheonix. I'll always remember him giving an "R & B Chord Progression Lesson" onstage. Jamming through his half stack.

[MegaJamiem]

ha, he died.....what a poom

[rhcp4565]

fuck u cunt

[GRIFpenguin]

Yeah, just wait till you die. poom.

[BOTFA111]

show some respect to that man. he was a great musician. it doesnt matter if he took drugs.

[cheeseboy2007]

i love flea in the backround

RIP HILLEL

[Nimrod9458]

I love it when they play Hendrix stuffs!!!

[FuzztoneProductions]

amazing performance!

[Alewind1234]

Third stone from the sun-Jimi Hendrix

Incredible performance!!!go hillel!!

[MrRedhotchiliquentin]

whats the name of the song?, please

[metalman383]

[swiftubag1001]

RIP U STAR.

[CherryDarling788]

Great great great great great Hillel. We miss you. From Spain.

[06scorr]

No he didnt foxdog9 read scar tissue and yu'll no.corse he didnt puposely kill himself your dad obviously chats shit then,get your facts rite on hillel hes a legend and gt caught on heroin's slippy slope n you cant get out.hes not a moron to kill himself also he went abroad to get his drugs and dint die in his house!!! R.I.P XXX

[jamesbondk]

he didnt kill himself shut the fuck up

[brusselleke]

I am a great fan of John Frusciante and I always thought that the peppers would have been crap without him, but when I watch Hillel I think he's as great as Frusciante. The peppers are very lucky with there guitarists.

R.I.P.

[JayJayKlock]

@brusselleke In fact Hillel was Johns Idol, so they kinda had the same style when John joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers...

John kicks ass!

But who knows how far the Peppers would've come, if Hillel was still alive?

R.I.P. Hillel Slovak

[Davidguitarify]

@brusselleke

thats true , but i like more the style of slovak

[bboytobz332]

@brusselleke actually they have some shitty guitar players

[TrevaWhateva]

@brusselleke Thumbs down to grammar error.

[brusselleke]

@TrevaWhateva Yeah sorry but I'm not from England/America. I'm Belgian.. so I'm doing my best. ;)

[Frt666]

@brusselleke well i think hillel has invented the whole thing, it was his vision, john just had to fit in and go with it. I think that hillel is guitarr #1 in RHCP forever.

[peloniopepper]

hillel es una leyenda

que siempre seguira viva

para mi el es increible

[vvAtever21]

purposely? i didnt hear that one

[bvshdg]

bollocks

[jensbond93]

ok, he didint like shoot himself but he kind of killed himself whith drugs.

[The199322]

Hillel Riposa In Pace...Sei Stato Un Grande

[Coldur]

Hillel may cease to be, but he is in no way dead. People are still learning of him, people are still enjoying his work, and people are still trying to be like him. I cannot say he is dead, I can say he has been written in stone the way he was up until that day in 1988.

[08go]

Yeah you're right.

Some people never die, they keep on living even if they aren't here...

Hillel Slovak R.I.P.

[bvshdg]

i Cant agree more with u Coldur

[NicotinMan]

@Coldur In fact Frusciante said he learned his funky style imitating Slovak. Frusciante was not very funky in "Mother's milk" times when he entered the band, but quickly developed a funky sound almost entirely based on Hillel.

Hillel always was the funkiest element in RHCP, that's a fact.

[flyingchickenredsock]

i miss u man

[mangimosbii]

Hillel loved Hendrix didnt he..?? nice cover

[peloniopepper]

is god!!!!

[IreneRHCP]

hille, we miss you

[CherryDarling788]

He was great and amazing. RIP Hillel, my lovely man.

From Spain.

[Meeper27]

RIP Slim. It's been 21 years; I was only 10 days old when he died... :-(

[gnfnr211]

21 years today!

[BMXkid49]

R.I.P best guitarst for RHCP

[LawlessRick]

i miss you my funky brother. RIP man hope ur chillin good up in heaven with Jimi, send him my regards. Thanks so much for the happines u brought to my life.

[FunkyFellaDaBassist]

I love you Hillel!

[gilk12]

תנוח בשלום... Rest In Peace dear brother

[tokyol]

ינוח בשלום על משכבו נחמד אח שלי

[SunMan6A6]

ת.נ.צ.ב.ה

[rinoula14]

God I miss him so much... let him RIP

[YellowSG]

R.I.P

[aFrknPuertoRican]

Don't get me wrong. I wish he never died, but I don't think the Chili Peppers would be the same today without Frusciante. I think they would have stayed more funk oriented and we would have never gotten By the Way, Californication, or Stadium Arcadium of Slovak hadn't of died.

[Agu88x]

He'll be the best. r.i.p.

[Owninator666]

What hendrix song are they playing again? I can't remember the name

[Euanpy]

one rainy wish i think :) its definatly one of the last songs on axis

[Euanpy]

oh nope hes playing 3rd stone from the sun! :)

[AnthonyKiedisAK]

Hey Joe (Maybe)

[rocker66669]

man the chili peps have changed so much cicne hillel died

[shadowsofglory]

Ha, looks like Flea hasn't changed!

[Tojiro06]

Hillel is simply a junkie without talent.

[LawlessRick]

FUCK YOU. you dont even know what youre talking about man i bet you havnt listened to half of hillels work. go fuck yourself you fucktard

[Fleaman07]

fuck u man... hillel was amazin... im shur u not half as talented as he was... prick...

[FruscianteRox]

FUCK YOU

[CptChaos88]

right

[Jackwell1029384756]

go die in a hole

[Jimmmeeehhh]

DONT THINK HE IS LIKE.

[bubba5000]

He's no Frusciante, that's for sure.

[matbellers]

he inspired frusciante

[bubba5000]

To do heroin?

[matbellers]

no.....frusciante got his style of playing from him

[Lulzrustypipes]

true

[Hardtack444]

no he is different but Flea and anthony were completely different musicians back then two though so..

[ZAKROCKER93]

they should make this video an anti drug video

[Verushka79]

It is so bad that Hillel is dead for the heroin addiction. He was amazing!!

[RHCP2210B]

Hillel was amazing but so is John...there both really different though...johns real melodic whereas Hillel was so fuckin hardcore, not sayin that johns not but without hillel there would be no john

[nick12098]

chili peppers wouldnt be the same without frusciante man..

[shortyat1093]

that dude was a badass

[R0binv]

about his 'death-birthday'??

[rockierichie]

RIP Hillel. Go Red Hot Chili Peppers! Although they would be better if he had lived to play their new songs. No offense to John Frucsiante.

[pookermit]

RIP Hillel

Their new songs were developed with the help of frusciante so you cant really take that away from him.

[josecalderari]

he is playing jimi hendrix

[vivaelrock34]

slovak is playing something of jaco pastorius

[bhagiti]

It's Hendrix' "Third Stone Form The Sun" which Pastorius almost always played in his unaccompanied bass solo during his Weather Report years. RIP all three.

[ville00]

Was this when flea and hillel were in "what it is"?

[kevermanslap]

no this was the original chili peppers line up but Anthony was backstage fighting with his gf

[Ravenhart1]

MORE LIKE ROCK IN PEACE

[fullmetalfunk]

I really didn't realize how good of a guitar player Hillel was until I actually sat and listened to the Uplift Mofo Party Plan all the way through, and I've never seen his playing the same way again. He is so underrated.

[RHCPFanMan15]

RIP Hillel. I hate how some of the great guitarist have to pass away.

[queenmrsarah]

Hillel is my favourite RHCP guitarist. John kicks ass and a more rounded, versatile guitarist I think. My favourite album though is One Hot Minute, so underestimated and Dave Navarro gets too much flack for it. The fact is he alsi kicks arse.

[RHCPFanMan15]

I think that Hillel is amazing. What brings him out so well is his use of the whammy bar, a peice that a lot of people don't use often. I feel that RHCP would have kicked more ass if Anthony had sounded like he did in the Californication album in the 80s.

[Nockgale]

its sad he's gone and the red hot chili peppers r so lucky they have managed 2 get john back 2 and thank god dave is out of teh picture for good

[mediakel]

June 25th is my actual birthday. I was 21 in 1988. May you RIP Hillel.. he was a true gem in the world!

[beerandpluggers]

did you see em live and in there prime ?

[thegools]

Yes. I always like Hillel and Irons in the line-up the best.

I remember being really impressed with the drumming.

[beerandpluggers]

FUCK YEAH man that is sick

[francescuz]

Thank you for all you've done for us...we won't forget you,lovely man.

We miss you a lot.

[themdamnhoes]

the band wouldn't have made after Hillel if it weren't for John Frusciante And Dave Navvaro.

[senssuck2sunday7]

your stupid the band would of mand it without this guy at all

[fitzroy38]

the band was always going to make it with Anthony Kiedis as a member

[kevermanslap]

i love Hillel's persona on stage lol he acts like he's the funkiest mother fucker around and thats the way a good musician should act on stage

[kevermanslap]

i dont understand how sum could mark u as spam lol thats a great idea

[CadillacL]

I first got into RHCP when John (Who RULES) was in the band, so this is my first taste of Hillel. AWESOME.

[H13drummer]

john IS in the band

[CadillacL]

I know. What I meant was. I didnt even know who Hilel was. I only knew/know John.

[Nockgale]

no :S john isn't the band because it takes all 4 of the wounderful musicians there r in the peppers 2 be that good lol

[sexyduck69]

great cover u r not forgotten

[zjemetalhead93]

today is the 20th year without hillel. rest in peace hillel

[lilbean32]

I was about to say the same thing
