Red Hot Chili Peppers - Making of Breaking The Girl

[terrancele]

Love Anthony in this, looks like he's giving a kid some hard discipline..

[1chamberlain1]

I want to own a mansion like this with different instruments and pots and pans and big trash cans all over the place for me to have fun with all day every day.

[Qoooba95]

hell yeah huh? :D

[dragon7590]

I was obsessed with this song and the drum break down!I remember trying to recreate with friends using trash cans and buckets.

[ivanafekonja]

breaking the girl.....

[TheAray6]

I use to watch this shit everyday freshman year of highschool. Good times.

[cait234yo]

this is just so great

[loopdeluke]

What's Flea's tattoo of on his chest? (the circular one) It looks awesome

[yonner490]

i fucking love when john rocks out on a 12 string for this song on the dvd- is that clip on here?

[malnes]

@yonner490 I've seen it once on youtube, I'm searching for it right now because I need it :(

[artistssoftpastels]

@yonner490 watch?v=3jCCJzMRpxU&feature=re­lated and look at the comments and watch from where the guy asks what song it is

[diversereel]

haha beating something with a pipe is the perfect job for Flea.

[Desperadounico]

Great guitarists of the 90's; Billy Corgan, Mike Mcready, Kim Thayill, Jerry Cantrell, John Fruciante, Nigel Pulsford,Tom Morello, Kurt Cobain. In no particular order (all based on the influence they had on me and Cobain being my main inspiration for learning how to play guitar).

[yonner490]

@Desperadounico i approve of this list. thank you for throwing mccready on there. .. not the greatest player ever.. but an incredible writer

[musicgetsmehigh1989]

and then we wonder how they're great musicians...its cause they were born without the unnecessary advantage of technology and did it all themselves

[rock009byoun]

uow..that's so freakin' nuts!

[UtUbEAdDiCcT13]

awesomepossum

[TehSorso]

did they really put that on the song? i always thought it was chad;s part... but now they show me the whole band kicking steel boxes and oil cans or shit... it's hella creative though!

[Saladbowl]

thats how music should be made - I love that album - John is a genius.. his best work..

[bamwow09]

wow, this is crazy and i love it

[ghostrid3]

Needles!!!

[dismntledsoul1]

all about thinking outside the box :D until all the fake mainstream bands nowa days

[4thDimensionFilms]

@iwish96 not always. this song is really just another loves song, but the way Kiedis writed gives it an illusion of sophistication.

[cageboyes]

I want to see more!!!!

[anthony36593]

I love rhcp to death but dont they look like caveman banging sticks around

[onehotminutex]

they are so creative

[chrisrave]

Does anyone know what model studio headphones those are that Flea's wearing in the beginning?

[AaronF526]

I did a cover of Breaking The Girl on my guitar. Check it out.

[francismunez]

hahaha they all look like the 3 stooges building a builind

[Attuneawake78]

I was always under the impression that Chad Smith came up this part. Pretty cool.

Is Funky Monks a video?

[electrakate]

I used to own the VHS of this movie...it's freaking amazing!  I remember this clip as being one of my favourite parts.

[wobblesin]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!!!

thank you so much!

[rhcploverforever1]

lolol, that's great. xD

[chiefitup]

my favorite part

[RedHotLove21]

I have Breaking the Girl as my ringtone!!!

[xinosko]

AMAZING

[stellarbeezyy]

This is beautiful!

[fubargarfon]

where can i find the original breaking the girl video?

[fullmetalfunk]

Try google video.

[4thDimensionFilms]

Im reading the book Scar Tissue which is an autobiography of Anthony an he siad that this was the most fun they had for a music video, beating the shit out of all the pipes they collected.

[Efep1236]

thats amazing! i must find this book...

[wheels85]

Barnes and Noble is where I got my copy.

[stringbean1212]

yo i read that book to. it was great. this song was about how he resembled his dad in different ways. for instance him and his dad both had a different woman almost every day

[josemaguire]

Amazing Book!

Just Finished It, Never Knew How Much He Went Through But It Really Makes You Appreciate The Music More

[4thDimensionFilms]

I totally know what you mean, most people will listen to music on the radio just for entertainment because it's something they can tap their foot to. but when you read his book an he talks about some of the songs, you really respect the music for how meaninful it really is.

[iwish96]

@4thDimensionFilms Music is way deeper when you know the meaning of it...

[senna01]

@4thDimensionFilms Don't believe everything you read though... Especially if it's AK telling the story.

In my view most of the songs released on BSSM are about AK bashing on John. That's my interpretation, at least. No wonder that album has some of the most interesting lyrics he ever wrote.. He actually had some material to write on.

[4thDimensionFilms]

@senna01 Yeah come to think of it, you're definitely right. Knowing the meaning doesn't necesarrily ensure you'll respect the music more.

Now that I revise that statement: I think you'll have a better, more concrete understanding of a song when you understand its meaning.

[Seanuk]

what book is that?

[josemaguire]

Called Scar Tissue By Antony Kiedis :)

WHSmith Will Stock It

[coma8coma1]

oh my god..

[87655788]

awesome

[MezzPaul]

You wouldn't think it would turn out to be such a masterpiece would you? :P

[ppetracco]

I kinda miss albums recorded without computers...

[Quimbinator]

@ppetracco A lot of people do man..

[TheChippyRick]

@ppetracco I think you mean you miss good albums.

[Sqroob]

@ppetracco The new Foo Fighters album "Wasting Light" was recorded without computers. If you didn't already know.

[ppetracco]

@Sqroob Yeah, great album! Been also hooked up on Gabriel Roth's Daptone stuff - Sharon Jones, Budos Band, Charles Bradley, etc...

[loverhcp4ever]

heyyyyyy this is from funky monks!! <33 :]

[cocksocks19]

was anthony playing too fast?

[musikspaten]

That's what I thought as well.

But, aah, this is so insanely sweet =)

[trevorfarren]

I feel old when I say it, but they just don't make music like this anymore.... It just kicks ass.

[bacardidarck]

thats amazing

[eternalgreen6]

thats just awesome man

[komenglar]

i love it<33

[Siillvv]

love it!! the song is awesome n thats just so innovative!!

[SunnyCool]

man this song is timeless - I wish they'd make one like this again. It's strange, weird and oddly psychedelic.

[fefiss86]

@SunnyCool hump the bump :)

[Outdoorenthusiast96]

@SunnyCool

Not possible with the current line up. They need John more then John needs them. I'm With You was the most disappointing RHCP album in their history.

[maddermofo]

John's guitar part is pure genius and Flea's bass line compliments it beautifully

[CiaoBellamina]

hahha anthony from like 0:34 to :50 ...his butt is sticking out....gotta love him!

hahaha

[ePhilosopher]

tires and rims and wheels and clanging, sitting on a sack of beans

[OnEHoTMoMenT]

nice...

[chsdrumcorps]

hahahah! that was great.

[thesamandcalexpress]

there is more of breaking the girl on funky monks than that

[alayne14]

Um... that's not from 'breaking the girl'. It's from the music video for 'suck my kiss'.

[j11mz]

M8, I dunno how you got that, but it's breaking the girl...The percussion section of the bridge

[JadedGracex]

They're playing 'breaking the girl'. This is from the Funky Monks documentary of the band making 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik'. The 'Suck My Kiss' video uses footage from that documentary.

[rhcpfan004]

actually its in their recording studio

[SweetPurpleHaze4]

well actually its in a mansion but ok..

[elsabor12]

It's in Charlie Chaplin's old mansion in LA I believe.

[marcobeats]

Que buena percusión, grandiosa.

[TallyHo22]

really good percussion part. Me and my drummer used to always play that part, but he got tired of it lol

[Aldrahill]

It's not really the making of 'Breaking The Girl' it's just one take of the percussion section.

[Cannelle93]

I MUST buy quickly this vid. I want it, I want it!!! LOL

Seriously, I watch often the entire Funky Monks vid (from the web). I love it.

[Texasredfish5114]

amazing.

[CharlieJoy]

men this IS great. love it.

[didzz]

I read Scar Tissue and Anthony refers to it this I think as, 'hitting pieces of metal'. From then on I've always been curious, finding this has made me happy ;D

[rosedewitt]

hilarious xd

[macprozac]

asdf

[DocVader]

Rick Rubin is a pimp.

[kbrinks]

[ptalex1976]

[hannahxkiedis]
