Red Hot Chili Peppers - Knock Me Down (Daytona Beach 1990-03-16)

[ReallyRandomRoska]

I realize that this is lip-synced for whatever reason, but I feel like it might have been for a video like this. Given the attitude of the audience... I don't know, the whole thing just doesn't look like it was intended to be a real performance.

[neoconker2]

This isn't playback for god's sake.. you can't hear the audience sound.. in video editing they replaced the original sound for the Knock me down studio version. Thanks once again MTV. Anyway. they walked away at 2:25. Something was wrong. Look, what I am sure is that they would haver do playback. Anthony hates that, read the book.

[neoconker2]

I don't understand why people are disapointed.. THEY WALKED AWAY FROM THE STAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG LIKE A BAWS

[TrevaWhateva]

They make it look pretty obvious that the were lip-synching.

S'pecially flea.

[waluigithecool2]

... and then Chad and Flea get arrested THE END.

[AnissaAcoff]

2:30 Chad grabs his cock lol!

[TheNuma11]

playback

[escutaai]

why they are doing playback? I saw a video of them playing knock me down live and it was great

[carliarce]

look at the man that has pink hat..lol

[mrbrickmaster84]

they arent lipsinching were is the audience noise someone didnt have sound on their cmaera

[MrMulalichasan]

AND THIS WAS MTV RIGHT??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paul2705gmailcom]

Naa this is brilliant . First, they definitely weren't playing live and got overdubbed afterwards since neither the drums nor the amps are miced at all, so they ageed to mime it. However, the way they ended it was sublime, epic. It's great way to suggest you're not going along with that. Then, the audience look remarkably 80`s (not the band). Actually, it looks like a snippet of one of those cheap hollywood comedies with the badies and the nerds and the brainless chicks

[GnrRnR13]

nah theres no way they actualy played with the studio version playing....they definately had to of played for real. this is just overdubbed. at least i hope lol

[zeppelin88ab]

fuck you mtv, you take away their dignity by making them fake perform. they leave the stage and mtv shows a bunch of big, fake tits and ripped guys. fuck this corporate shit i hope you all die. long live the chili peppers!

[astemostevenson]

god this is lame

fuck mtv

[31turnip]

Yea this is an MTV thing so they do an actual record then record footage of them messing around

[Mateu89]

WTF? It is playback os something?

[MemorymanDL]

Ugh, fuck you Spring Break.

[1123awesomeness]

Anthony looks like one of those male strippers, he's a sexy cop here. It works guys..he looks nice. ;) haha

[mrbrickmaster84]

john guitar?



[Mefreudi]

hahahahhaa wtf the crowd is made of a bunch of fucking assholes!!!!!

[mrduckzzz]

Epically lip sinked :)

[B1LLyPpPp]

probably it was recorded for the video of the song but they changed their mind somehow...thats not a concer lol

[imeglio]

horrible...



[FJag92]

hahaha the funniest part.. when frusciante and chad leaves the instruments xd and go away from there haha, (sorry the bad english haha)

[PackItIn3]

this is when they walked into the crowd and started dancing flea and chad got in trouble because they picked up a girl from the crowd and they got charged for battery or some shit

[ksbrownie1]

why did they walk off

[Raphi186]

''live''' xD

[worldneedsrock]

Can't you see that is marketing?

[angelosinski]

BOAH I love them walkin outta stage

[goosetuff79]

@aekrhcpssbb yeah. but i mean you have to give them a certain amount of respect for walking off the stage at 2:25. but fucking MTV doesnt show them after they leave they just show the crowd of women with huge tits and ripped up dudes. MTV obviously made them lip sync, and im sure they were encouraged to do big shows like this by their record company, so they did it. they made somewhat of a point by walking off the stage.

[markaloo2]

@bergjasper wait so how come john nor flea are not plugged in?

[berryville08]

What a fuck...?

[bergjasper]

btw, ofcourse they did play it live, but it just sucks what MTV did to the audio by replacing it with the original song...

[bergjasper]

sigh... I hoped for a REAL live version, not just video.. RHCP rock live, why the fuck overdub this video :S

[calluponthedogs]

R.I.P. neon hats

[greeneyedladypotion]

too bad mtv sucksssss

[kaplanjoedudugames]

I WANT KICK THE SUCKER WHO OVERDUB THIS VIDEO!!

[iguanna9]

I still rmemeber these good old times when MTV used to play all this good stuff.

[panterarules96]

lol, this isnt a lip sync, somebody removed the original audio and overdubbed the studio version

[fadiga3010]

lol chad stand up and stop drumming and i still listen it

[adds102]

is there any version with out the overdub?

[1999californication]

rhcp never playback

but its the stupid mtv

[ninja0724]

almost live xD :)))

[POOPOOSOLDIER]

i hear johns voice in this alot

[squeter]

playback ;D

[goosetuff79]

im surprised the chili peppers agreed to play the prerecorded version. makes me sad. 

[aekrhcpssbb]

@goosetuff79 me too!The RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS played playback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!Oh my god!Why?There are no live guitar and bass solos there...I totally agree with you man!I like you ;-)

[cherryawful7]

@goosetuff79 same here. Wasnt expecting that.

[Psychodad585]

@goosetuff79 this doesn't look like a real concert, who knows what's the story behind this, knowing Anthony hates lyp sincing....

[goosetuff79]

@Psychodad585 yeah dude i actually posted another comment cuz i kept watching and i realized they walked off the stage half way through the song. which i respect them for.

[turtlliwdnifuoyehthr]

@goosetuff79

look in the end.

the band get tired of it and they crash the instruments.

and they needed recognition.

[goosetuff79]

@turtlliwdnifuoyehthr i know. i posted that comment before i saw the end. and then when i saw it i posted another one about how i respect them for walking off stage and making somewhat of a statement.

[falconserek]

@goosetuff79 Sound is changed. You can hear only music but no audience...

[elibartoskova]

1:50 nice moment :)

[mrshakemelikeamonkey]

Later that night,,,,,Chad & Flea are arrested for committing a Lewd & Lacivious

Act. Saw their show the next night at the Texan Hotel. Great Show loved the opening band The Prickledorfs. 

[Gabriel77Rhcp]

Cuaaaaaaaaaaalquiera le mandaron jajaaj

[NextGenAnimation]

its so fake that it's funny!



[jayfrayshaytay]

LOL at :30 look at the line of douche bags

[timberwolves03]

@jayfrayshaytay yeah totally haha

[SupremeTeam149]

look at chad at 2:29

[hippidyhoffider]

i think they had a strict no fat people policy

[pattonPwr]

I fkn' miss the 90's... look at all this shit in 2011!!!!!

[abar1204]

LOL THIS IS LIP SYNCED!! Thats what mtv made them do.. and to nirvana too! LMAO

[azjc04]

They DID play the song live, but this upload obviously has the studio tracked dubbed over. When they leave the stage, it's the end of the actual performance. No clue why the original sound was replaced. Bad quality, I guess.

Anyway... Club MTV. It was around in the mid 80s through early 90's. Clearly, it's the Spring Break version.

[senna01]

/watch?v=EwMNcENFZNg

2:39 - How to handle a live playback situation.

[RichardLaarge]

I like to think this was a competition put out by MTV - "spot the straight guy".

[DONTRAPETHEKITTEN]

John's hair <3

[reads006]

This isn't live :(

[emosdieslow]

2:38 I just finished my glass of milk and I want more.

[103238]

playback

[Kotti05]

is this playback?

[masser120]

You just don't see that kind of crowd anymore these days :p

[lithiumissick42]

i dont think that this is ...right? you could see only anthony singing parts that both him and john sing and i could definitely hear johns part...and I definitely dont see the black woman from the official music video and I can hear her, i think they just overlayed footage with the album track and some audience cheering tracks

[alehi1]

fuck yeah john and chad

[PuddingGal1919]

lol at Chad and Johnny

[capodastaro]

So much fluorescent my eyes can't adjust!

[leoshoutlouder]

I know......You see tits!!

[grubang]

That's how I dance to their music at home.

[megatallica03]

"theyre leaving the stage! hurry show the people who think they are still playing cause theyre that good!"

[JosephKuby]

@megatallica03, they changed the camera too late.

[ohad156]

MTV SUCKS

[fiveyearwinterkiss]

wait, where did john go? haha

[Pimpalozauras0000]

lol

[greeneyedsomething]

HAHAHAHAHAHA I love it how John's like, ah fuck it, at 2:30.

[TXF1990]

1:52 BOING BOING BOING!

[CuteHotChiliPeppers]

They were booked to lip-sync the song...which they hated. John and Chad just left the stage probably because of that or because of the fake crowd or both. But either way, I was happy he left that fake-ass MTV shit.

[korvidkrow96]

either they we're miming, or the video just has the song synced over the video's audio ):

[massivegtu]

I call fake and gay

[PhantomCover]

hahaha. John just couldnt take it anymore. If I were playing for these fake ass people I would want to smash my guitar into Chads drums too.

[daddyfunk13]

Didn't Flea get sued by some chick that he picked up and dropped at this performance?

[FunkyMonk988]

no wonder John eventually left... if you just look at the crowd :D

[jimihendrixEX2]

2:33 WTF ?! paralitic

[cygnux1]

hummm i dont see any " LIve" here... maybe i should say hear....

[Striker439]

What's with the crowd?! XD love this song

[12rhcpfan]

How much was that crowd paid? haha

[spazers27]

Holy crap! There's so much wrong with this, I don't even know where to begin. I feel like I'm watching Hot Tub Time Machine with all the spandex, hairspray, and mullets. I hope I can be cool enough one day to dance in a convertable Volkswagen.

[JosephKuby]

@spazers27, my favorite piece of unintentional comedy is the black guy at 2:32 - too bad they don't have shows like this on the current reality and fiction-oriented MTV.

[MonsterxSGx209]

anyway john sings in this song lol and when john and chad stop playing its just like on air heads

[slimjimpizza]

I love how john stops playing and they stop showing them on stage lol

[Fankz]

playback shit 

[fretboardfru]

MTV are really disgusting ! Blah ! This whole rent-a-crowd-ala-lip-sinch stuff is pathetic ! I've never ever seen before red hot not playing live.

[Floipster]

HAHAHA this sucks!!! Lip-syncing!

[qlino1313]

haha this is so late 80`s and early 90`s but awesome band

[nachofunkiest]

Este video es asqueroso... no representa el espiritu de RHCP

[gimmeshelter72]

yeah thsi is the record - whata jip ;(

[simonthegoalie]

they must have been forced to do lip-synch.. they love their music too much for that...

[djpj69camaro]

wow. this was the 1990's. Still looks like the 80's. Scary.

[JosephKuby]

@djpj69camaro, I've found that the first year of a decade always has remains of the last hence why movies and music videos from 1990 have that '80s thing going on.

[sibriidio]

this kix ass

[KarlaRobyn]

I'M DISAPPOINTED!!! Its not live...hmmmphr. :-(

[rocklive88]

what a hell!!!!!!

ahahahahaha

[gogmagog123456789]

aaaaaaaaaaaajajajajajjjaja,,,,­,,,,, the pepper`s messing around over idiotic crowd of bastards!!!!!!! "the band was asked to perform on MTV's coverage of Spring break in Florida. At the event, Flea and Smith attempted to engage the audience by jumping from the stage; the situation got out of hand, and the two were alleged to have sexually assaulted and verbally abused a female audience member."(wikipedia)

[dontmesafrusciante]

Why are they not really playing(pre recorded)????

[SLAPnPOP726]

yeah thats appropriate dancing for a mournful song about the death of a best friend. look at the way they dance when he's saying 'it's so lonley when you dont even know yourself.' fuckin preppie bastards...

[Delta1382]

haha this video is hilarious

[yadrok]

the great peppers!!!

but stupid crowd!

[mseerob]

This is not a live performance. Fucking idiot that did that!

[yuiyuizz]

golden age of mtv before they sold out to shitty teenie bop music

[GalacticBoss]

it isn´t live but.. the vistors don´t care xD

[bloodsugarcrazy3]

hahaha the crowd is so lame XD

[Sk8pk420]

this shit isnt live..

[MopHead010101]

@Sk8pk420 No shit i was being sarcastic...

[TheDantealighieri75]

I think the reason you can't see the band, but only the audience after 2.33 (when they walk of stage and Chad rubs his willie) is that this is the event where Chad and Flea spanked and offended a girl which they were prosecuted and convicted for. Because it was a Tvshow in Florida and around this time.

[MopHead010101]

wow album quality :)

[Sk8pk420]

@MopHead010101 wow your fucking retarded. this is the album playing.. its not live.

[musefan117]

MTV mad them they had no choice.

[ilr111]

[lucastar07]

[ushuaia213]

[TheTonioXoret]

[themoreorless]

[MrNiceGuy1996]

It's funny how John and Chad just walked away from the stage while the song was still played and then the cameras just stopped filming the band and only filmed the audience :)
