RHCP - Crosstown Traffic

[Gmaia85]

red hot jimi peppers :)

[sonicbootcamp]

Stupid version...the speed doesn´t make it better at all...but if I didn´t know the original, I might like it. Really demented...

[wades94]

This song was Red Hot Chili Peppers-ed !

[meisisequus]

i freaking love this song, now when i play jimi's i have to play it x2 speed so i can enjoy it, damn you rhcp and your awesomeness 

[birddogbull]

I think this was either the Agora or Cleveland Music Hall. Hard to remember, but I was there.

[giggs102]

flea is too fucking awesome.

[oOSpaetzchenOo]

YEHA!!!

[HeyWatsUpStranger]

They ruin this song

[TheMan0War]

@HeyWatsUpStranger you ruin this song with your face

[1922sultan]

SINFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ratm1211]

I also have a concert from Minnesota where they tear this song up!!!

[rotom223]

@ratm1211 They came to MN and I missed it? D;

[lalalalala5151]

great cover!

[bigchill123a]

Do you hear that tempo?!?!? Considering that they're playing it at crackhead speed, I think that this is a great cover

[troyj5518]

hahahahahahahahaha!! fuckin red hot chilli peppers.....this sucks DONKEY ASS!!!

[Coolconman1Alt]

Erm... I have a bootleg that this appears on that indicates that this was performed on 12/25/1991

[KurtMcGowan]

Fuk yeh!

[lukat93]

No one covered Jimi as good as rhcp

[fartmoneys]

@lukat93 correction, no guitarist has covered jimi as good as rhcp's guitarist

[thandle46]

yuck!!!!!

[bcome82]

at first i thought this cover was pretty awful, but hearing it some more it's actually  pretty rad!

[Aelia12]

This version is terrible.

[FantaVsPepsi]

@Aelia12 you`re terrible

[Matthew06660]

Sounds like great song got raped

[madjop22]

such a great cover!

[daxxx1960]

What a stupid version!!! i cant belive it!!!

[tenaciousdkid99]

[Modelichful]

@tenaciousdkid99 lulz he is mentally ill...it seems so

[RyanTD123]

[rokasja97]

[redhothellers]

[TheRoadcrew999]

[KBilbrey00]

@TheRoadcrew999 always look on the bright side of life!

[kimmedavid]

0:44 nice tatoo (:

[jakeblandjk47]

its been sped up after, probs because of a change in bitrate or something, hence why the pitch has been changed. this isnt the original speed nor the original pitch, you can tell cause the guitar and bass isnt in e standard tuning. the one from the mothers milk CD is however in standard tuning and slower.

[MaceMn]

Fail

[Thiago1950]

I think it's impossible not to compare with the original but it's a honest tribute with a lot of energy

[DerAufklarung]

i prefer jimi hendrix version nut original and better!!

[yepheth]

another lame Jimi stuff RHCP's version. These guys only can speed up, i can do that by myself on my audio editor. That's from a honest RHCP fan.

[fezzard]

@yepheth dude its actually pretty good, I think its even congruent to their style, the energy of punk but still keeping the sound of jimi loud and clear... of course, critics would usually favor the original, but to me this song is a different gem on its own....

[Dmpublishing]

@yepheth yeah I agree. I'd expect them to do better but oh well

[silver2zilver]

sounds like they sped it up. They just blasted through the whole song. Hendrix was melo, a reason his version is better.

[jakeblandjk47]

@silver2zilver its been sped up after, probs because of a change in bitrate or something, hence why the pitch has been changed. this isnt the original speed nor the original pitch, you can tell cause the guitar and bass isnt in e standard tuning. the one from the mothers milk CD is however in standard tuning and slower.

[hansen6102]

@browndragon47 Remember, this was before AK got good at singing.

[PuddinTater111]

Why is every Hendrix song also by RHCP??

[browndragon47]

rhcp took one of jimi's masterpieces and took a giant shit right on top of it. horrible in my honest oppion. on the flip side at least they honored one of the greats.

[boxingin]

Love the way RHCP's pay homage to my man Jimi Hendrix every chance they get!

[nabokovdiplomat]

This shit is obviously sped up. Does anyone have the original?

[johnhudson41]

@nabokovdiplomat this is the original lol

[KDeGrayDemoliton]

@nabokovdiplomat this was the very last song used at a concert and the band was asked to leave much sooner

[nazarbandi]

its better then any cover Ive heard, funk it up......

[WTFmangos]

nothing compares to jimi hendrix original....

[zacandtaylorrule]

Yeah Jimi's is better but these guys freakin' rock! Best band around now. Or at least they were before John left. I hope Josh is good.

[amstaff007]

frusciante did great job here...

[8isD]

@amstaff007 was'nt fusciante

[stickerpictures4ever]

best pictures in this,

especially the one of them all naked!

cool pics of John and Hillel... i miss hillel

[ajbbig14]

wow this is horrible ... i usually like rhcp but they almost ruined the song .. luckily its unruinable (not a word, but should be .. just for hendrix songs)

[broadns]

just like.............

[jamestkirkesq]

Hendrix himself said something along the lines that a cover shouldn't just be a carbon copy of the original.

Why cover the same old ground the same way? What's the point of that?

Well, RHCP's cover here sure is different from the original ... I think Jimi would like that. I know I do ... :-))

[opticage]

@jamestkirkesq Agree. If anybody, and I mean anybody, would appreciate someone taking their music and doing something new with it, it would be Hendrix. Remember the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock (The one in 1969).

[MagicHetero]

@jamestkirkesq if hendrix were alive he would probably do an album with them or at least john frusciante

[jamestkirkesq]

@MagicHetero

Hendrix and the Peppers??? ... COOL !!! ;-))

First song on the album ... a Red Hot cover of Jimi's blues number ... Red House.

Yep, Jimi Hendrix and The "Red House" Chili Peppers ... now that would be an Experience ... ;-))

[MagicHetero]

@jamestkirkesq nah red hosue isnt exactly for red hots

more ezy rider or message to love

and then thy would a classic red hot frusciante jam with him somethung like fela's cock

[jamestkirkesq]

@MagicHetero

Voodoo Chile Chili Pepper ;-))

[poopedmahpants]

@jamestkirkesq damn right. take any of Hendrix's covers as an example

[Drenwickification]

@jamestkirkesq Exactly, you look at Hendrix's covers, Hey Joe, All Along The Watchtower, Like a Rolling Stones, he's tried to make each of them his own.

Hey Joe especially is very different from the original.

[coolvans900]

haha awesome cover.

[twistswitch]

Come watch my video SYMPHONY GUITAR RIFFS. Its got tons of classic guitar hooks from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Nirvana and Pantera all played back to back to create a rockin' extravaganza!!!-_-!!!

[reelnub]

i'm off and on about this song but right now it sounds fucking sick

[ThePerusse]

wow, horrible.

[Buli0n]

sucks

[FischKopfD]

1:53 wtf flea fully clothed and with (!) glasses

[SDJrekoff]

Never heard of 'em.....

[777jackpot1]

@SDJrekoff so sad.

[SDJrekoff]

i was joking you stupid fuckin idiotic miscarriages

[777jackpot1]

You are a wank.

[therealCanablisS]

@SDJrekoff  hehe

[Swagerama]

They put a groovey funk twist on this song !!!!

[Kreso191]

where did you find this pictures ? can you write me url? thanks

[PixarTrailers]

it's a great cover, it has it's own style.

[TheGrungeGestapo]

no way. I didn't know they did this song. not so crazy about their cover but I love red hot chili peppers!!!

[burntoast]

Favorite hendrix song

[aledobretociastko]

@burntoast My fav one too.

[1dogballs]

fuckin bro

[ilr111]

come on,this cover is cool,just like with fire,that's the deal with covers,to make it different,and thats the peppers way!

[jonasvd1996]

Great cover, they realy turned it in to an rhcp song ;p I like flea standing realy punk on some pics

[Gary190tube]

Crosstown Traffic is the best song ever written.

And this cover is really good! Load of energy and fast. You can tell they like the song, which is good enough for me!

[darklord2626]

i think this cover sucks honestly...jimis version all the way! 99901827387%

[MannyBonham]

you are right but you suck haha!

[Huddiethegreat]

...No kazoo? the kazoo is vital

[ccfliege]

I love it when bands give reference to great acts like Jimi Hendrix

How do the kids now later whos jimi? they learn it from RHCP

[2boddah]

They do something called  SHARE....they dont steal..stupid ppl dont know what indian giver really means!!!!!

[Slacker46]

fickin amazing cover!!!! FLEAAAAAAAAAAAA

[stuckmode]

you are a fucking idiot. does this mean jimi is a "stealer" of bob dylan? and the myriad of musicians he's covered?

get your verbs and your Pittsburgh football teams correct.

[Oumanouar]

@stuckmode Fuck you, I heard this a thousand times. I have something better to do than listen to your Fucked up comments. I love RHCP, Don't you have something better to do, like doing your mom!!!

[darklord2626]

its a COVER retard!

[Oumanouar]

@darklord2626 Same to you, do something better like doing your mom!!!

I now it is a cover, you Fucking dickhead.

[music5710]

peppers are the best, what are u talking about!!!!!!?????????

[Oumanouar]

@music5710 Who do you mean, cause if it is me, Fuck Off

[zeppgirl94]

and you are great...you can lick their fingers...you idiot...

[mildseven2006]

They did Crosstown traffic at Lollapalooza 92 as well. But it wasn't this fast from what I remember.

[papakilatube]

fail

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

orig drums in this song are gods gift to my ears. this version is nice though, love the FUNK!!

[thefirefly06]

I love voice Anthony at 0:22 :D

[puffinstuffsmum]

I remember their 'cock orchestra' whereby they would all hit the mike stands in time to the music with their cocks wearing only socks on their cocks - nowt else. Circa 1991. Anyone see this?

[maccies99]

Aka as Rock out with your cock out and Sox on Cox :D

[FuzztoneProductions]

rhcp's rock!!

[thinkyouvegotmewrong]

i miss the clothes they used to wear, colorful eighties, suits their music

[whoknows1235]

HED PE's version of this song is pretty gd

[evilkanival1423]

jja la ultima imagn... the last photo jajjaja

[Fruscianteistheman]

Frusciante is doing a lot more justice than Anthony on this song XD

[ASpanishguy]

yeah thats cuase frusciante is, with hendrix, the greates guitarist in the whole world :P

the only one who can try to reach hendrix, yeah, hes the man xD i dont really think anthony be a great singer, i suppose hes good, but flea, chad and frusciante, i think they are some the best musicians with their instruments

[TMLeafsGuy]

i agree about what you said with flea chad and john. Anthony does make up a lot for not being the best singer in the world though and I can't imagine anyone being the lead singer of the rhcp any better than he already is!

[JimiHendrixLegend123]

naa i would have hendrix on lead guitar,

i would have flea on bass,

i would have mitch mitchell on drums,

and i would have bb king on vocals and buddy guy on rythm guitar, that would be my perfect band,

but i love the rhcp, but im more of a jimi man myself

[JorgeElMexicano]

good cover but i miss the kazoo in this song though

[lorylazza90]

very good cover!!!

[RHCPmikeRHCP]

my god listen to that bass line!!!!!

1:18-1:24

[chiefitup]

there is so much fuckin' energy! I LOVE IT!

[Iriedahmusic]

and also, this version was on the Christmas Party '91 release

[Iriedahmusic]

i heard this one first and i gotta say both artists know how to play the song perfectly with their own style. both are great but jimi is the legend :)

[TMLeafsGuy]

that is true that jimi is a legend but the peppers are in their own right legends now. They have been around for more than 20 years now! they are making some new music this october and they better tour cause I want to see them so badly!!!!!

[snowy976]

Where did you hear that rhcp are making some new music? You got me intrigued.

[thinkyouvegotmewrong]

i read about it in some article, something about taking a hiatus but theyre back in the studio now... maybe it was a rollingstone article

[ToxicAntony]

samesamesame, never seen them before as i'm only 15 but i can't wait!

[BountyHunter233]

i first saw chilis when i was 12 and im 15 now

[ToxicAntony]

Bitch!

[BountyHunter233]

:o how very dare you

[Gonzaga78]

so what?

[masterfulmuffin]

I saw them during the Stadium Arcadium tour, even into their 40s, they still put on a great show.

[oldschoolHalen]

you act like 40s old 40 is like the new 30 man..no excuses there shit should have been some of the best stuff and it wasnt it was mediocre at best i saw flea at a gig and he was playing the bass with his head/mohawk it was awsome

[Emberplate]

Everything Jimi did was a work of art. Wierd to Wonderful.Wonderful to wierd.

[skateconnor]

amen to that brotha

[ultrakillerlemonade]

this wasnt on mothers milk before...fire was

[rozkrokokrok]

čo ti jebe !!! toto je masaker !!!!

[Elendil161]

from Děčín :D

[bharrisongrandview]

this is badass but jimis is better

[laxlaxlacrosse]

@bharrisongrandview ya but when people cover songs its usually tribute to the original artist. atleast for me. cause it is a ton of work to cover a song. more work than writing your own

[74867853]

Very good!

RHCP sound.

[serbinator69]

love this shit! still though, no one can do Jimi Hendrix

RHCP is still my fave band but im just saying.

[Mowgli131]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

This is insane!! But I prefer Jimi's :)

Still good though.

[JoeLivinTheDream]

i love rchp but this version of crosstown traffic is good but jimi's was a work of art well everythink of jimi's is i love both of theys bands but jimi has got all of my respect

[K1dDread]

great band covering a great song! can't lose.

[physicalgraffiti01]

reminds me of Stone Free a little

[tranurse]

if flea is involved it is usually pretty good.

[nickcolella]

soo much energy!!!!

i feel it

[15555Hadji15555]

ahahahaha

[sillysp8]

Not bad but Jimi is still da king

[kendrikMN]

one of the few good rhcp hendrix covers i reckon

[osustinks1]

castles made of sand is pretty good too, but not as good as the hendrix version.

[happyendy]

old good funky RHCP....

[KANEANITE708]

Not a big fan of this one.

It's not supposed to sound the same, but it's almost hard to tell it's a cover song, and not in a good way.

[gargano3000]

bunch a fuckin cold turds

[gez2007]

john frusciante is mainly influenced by hendrix.

[eipylOh]

heh this is cool.. didn't know they'd done a cover of this. :)

[jdizzinyaear]

remember they are a funk band at heart so i cant think of any other way they could of did this song, classic rhcp

[FourTwoThreeOne]

rhcp are putting their own style on this track, what would be the point in making it sound exactly the same?

makasoona is right.

[jbarkerhill92]

the singing doesn't work with the song...

[turd121]

they should've kept the kazoo

[bassface36]

this sucks rhcp is shit compared to the jimi hendrix experience

[Galwanzie]

Maby but man it's just a cover...

[makasoona34]

hey bassface dont be so ignorant, the peppers didnt do this cover to be compared to the Hendrix experience they did it to honor them and show their love for them nd music, but judging by that comment u made u cant b a musician or a good one at least cause wat u said proves u dont understand wat it means to love music.

[vanhalen4life32]

i appreciate the attempt but it sounds crappy faster. jimi was never close to dragonforce..lol

[vvAtever21]

crazy different styles chili's put on this and fire personally i like this cover better than the orginal as for castles made of sand rhcp-tried no comparison

this and fire are 2 sickk covers

[MushroomP1llowz]

i like how thepartyboy0607 put it hahah

[MushroomP1llowz]

yeahhh i love jimi hendrix and red hots. i don't mind their covers of his songs cuz its there own feel to it like any cover should be. i dont think this is bad at all its rock man. AWESOME!

[skateswitch099]

This is shit.

[ryantwilliams]

i really, really love the chili peppers, but im not at all a fan of their hendrix covers. well, i take that back. there was a cover of castles made of sand that i heard and liked. but fire and this are just all around awful.
