Red hot chili peppers- Subway to venus/Sexy Mexican Maid/Back in Black 1989

[4giveAnd4get11]

LOOK AT JOHN'S ABS!!!!

[JoVshChili]

Oh damn his fuckin´ his guitar 4:26!

[JoVshChili]

Uuuuuuuuuh that Frusciante´s stratocoastter guitar!

[kickliquid]

for everyone saying he was a better guitarist in the late 80s and early 90s compared to post 2000 and that drugs was a big reason for his intensity here is video that clearly shows he is better guitarist post 2000 and still maintains the same level of intensity....sober.

watch?v=jgy9eTs6fcY

Don't get me wrong I love both Frusciantes and both have their various styles but to say one era was better is a complete misnomer.

[SamZCooper]

4:29

HAHAHHHAHAHA

[baltapaulaxl]

SOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN SLANE CASTLE, ROCK IN RIO,ETC!!!



[pimptwob]

Give Frusciante a break guys,dude was like 19 or 20 here,in his prime,ON IT!! You get older you mellow out and enjoy the slowness and things like that i do believe,people change!

[pimptwob]

@pimptwob OH,and was on mass amounts of coke and other drugs in this era,so that makes anything more intense.

[AlejoGuitarRocker]

Holy shit Frusciante was really buff

[tmafkap]

Guess they cut out all the obscene parts...

[AFCoulthard]

@tmafkap i think it just skips

[SuperKore911]

that sucked. but i still love it!

[brunojadami]

Hillel Slovak and 'first' Frusciante (before 93) were the best guitarists they had..

[FabDrummer91]

Mothers Milk and BSSM define why Chad is one of the best drummers of the modern time...i find Stadium and im with you dont represent his talent well enough

[DyingSID666]

@FabDrummer91 That's because after BSSM they became more of a melodic band and less groove oriented, he seemed to let everything go in the shows of this era now he doesn't really do it anymore, sucks really, he's awesome.

[PureCore]

flea 1989 and flea post 2000 are the same crazy bassit geniuses =]

[earthdoll92]

FREE JAMES BROWN

[nicklei369]

i love john's red hair! :)

[paskiiainen]

where the hell I can buy shorts like those? 

[tokaicarl]

COOLEST FUCKIN GUITARIST EVER

[chapstickman34]

THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY BADASS

[Astreator]

Last albums have nothing to do with this. Missing this years a lot. T_T Go RHCP Go!!

[brunocleta]

David Sanborn is the announcer and saxophonist. nice to know that Sanborn and chili peppers played together a day.

[8699]

This was from a late nite Sunday show on NBC called "Night Music" co-hosted by David Sanborn and featured a lot of alt bands (like RHCP, Sonic Youth, Pere Ubu), classic rock & blues musicians as well as jazz legends. I remember seeing this and later Sun Ra performs w/ his Arkestra and Flea jams with them on sax!

[xRaZ0r38]

Guys frusciante is strong there, look at pinkpop 1990 ... 0o

[robuzy]

can someone suggest another band as awesome as rhcp at this erra, bcause ive listened to all these old albums millions of times and just cant get enough, is there another band this funkin' awesome?

[LostInPerfectZound]

@robuzy john frusciante you can listen to all his albums there pretty sick

[robuzy]

@LostInPerfectZound haha already have a million times, thanks for the great suggestion tho. =)

[kamino78]

man frusciante is fit

[cannibalonXthedead]

What's wrong with the video? Sexy Mexican Maid has tons of cuts in it

[eLLAMUSic5]

i want flea's trousers...

[oskarcaceres0]

amazing song

[TheUserless]

RHCP 1989 and RHCP after Californication - the same band, but different styles.....

[hojima]

@TheUserless BSSM was the best period. mothers milk is really not that great of an album because of the horrible producer pushing frusciante to play overly distorted riffs. Great live stuff though because they just dont play the bad parts.

[feanop15]

I hope someday to hear new song from rhcp like this one

[leitedenai]

i think that also themselves want, and i'm sure they still got the funk inside

[Jasplinter1]

teddy pants <3



[QZoja]

Free James Brown...

[turoniner]

RHCP is my favorite band. How am I only seeing this video now???

[punkrockgod100]

at 2:51 epic flea anthony head bang

[Jackkief]

I got a fright at 3:05 looks like Anthony punches John in the face.

[piccolo317]

@dtfNZ no shit he went to rehab 

[josephandhunter]

may i ask...did rhcp get a new singer since 1989 because listen to this song and cant stop song by them it sounds like 2 difrent people O_O

[KincaidBass]

lol check flea out at 6:21!

[JoeyJoJo1185]

Man John must've been no older than 19 in this.

[Johagorn]

Well, somehow you can't be a funky crazy animal your whole life right?

[Squidzillasaur]

@Johagorn George Clinton managed to?

[Johagorn]

FREE JAMES BROWN!!!!

[galipooh]

Those are the same pants Flea wore in 'Bust a Move' !

[04callwilk1]

JOHN'S AMP ISN'T LOUD ENOUGH! :(

[Barefoot67]

John's playing back then was SO FUCKIN BADASS its crazy, God he was amazing in that era

[mangosnake]

They all look like midgets.

[0spazzy0yazzy0]

do you have the uncut version of sexy maxican maid?

[Extremepsyco]

I dont know what I'll do without RHCP <3

[accountsixtynine]

@Extremepsyco well your in luck, theyre immortal, eexcept hillel he went to jam with jimi hendrix :)

[Extremepsyco]

@accountsixtynine hell yes :)

[NormaJe4n]

I have always loved this band, still love them today. But there`s just something magical about the Mothers Milk-songs, and the Bloog Sugar-album. They changed a lot since then. I mean, they are still awesome, but I kind of...miss the energy from back then. Well, maybe I`m just getting old...=o)

[Masterreese1]

wtf 4: 35

[DefyingNoodles]

2:46 holy crap i wanna lick his abs.

[dtfNZ]

Frusciante 1989 and Frusciante post-2000 are totally different people altogether. =/

[geokavel]

@dtfNZ But they're both equally awesome in totally different ways

[fenix478]

@dtfNZ anthony changed a lot too

[ribaflea]

@dtfNZ yeah he don't do drugs anymore

[Andrewthegreathobo]

@dtfNZ awesome both ways though

[TheRareDevil]

@dtfNZ Yeah... Well some substances a funny for a short period, but in time they surely eat you.

[SEANBANOG4]

@TheRareDevil you got it in one....i get it all the time "hey u used to be this and that" yeh no shit

[dillydean]

@dtfNZ its called being a drug addict lol and its not even a joke

[JulienGuitarRocks]

@dillydean After saying being a drug addict you're loughing out loud??? it isn't funny or something if you think so...

[DesTiny2Kill]

@dtfNZ I think somewhere deep inside he's still the same John. The ego is still sort of ingrained in his personality. But, hell it's a well deserved ego.

[agbleu]

@dtfNZ you 1989 and you post-2000 are totally different people.

[Zephyesa]

@dtfNZ thats cause of the heroin addiction and recovery he went thru

[FruscianteLennon311]

@dtfNZ if you're the same person at age 30 as you were at age 18 then their is something very wrong with you.

[svengali0924]

@dtfNZ right. and this frusciante is a way better guitarist.

[Dejital]

Awesome sound quality ! Great performance -- Flea is totally on fire here

[fog812]

what the hell they had the copy of black in black of ac/dc he wasn't really singing it LOL

[LucDaRocka1]

never heard anthonys voice like that........... flea is an animal. love the pants and hair

[ernesto07051981]

MUY BUENA EPOCA DE LOS RED HOT

[eliaspuentes206]

muy bueno che!!!!

[skizmsucks23]

hell mother funkin yeah!!

[MrSpankinass]

4:22 John is F*ckn the shit out of his strat

[fretboardfru]

You're crazy .. ( the guy that claims that the guitarist on the video is Slovak.... this is just ridiculous...... The guy in this video is 1000000 % Frusciante... and he acts like him ... sings like him and plays like him .... That's it !

[TheOaks1993]

@fretboardfru Seriously man.... who else but Froosh would rock suspenders without a shirt, with bright red hair and fedora? yeah, no one in the world besides a 19yearold John Frusciante

[LucDaRocka1]

@fretboardfru  also slovak died in 1988, this is 1989......

[beno2367]

white mans james brown. fucking shweeet

[DJSpazzmatrazz]

19 people dont have stuffed animal pants. )':

[samastadon]

You guys are badly mistaken. That is Hillel Slovak. This was just before his death

[cain8934]

@samastadon trololololol, only john wiggles his tongue like a boss when he plays.

[Christophanus]

@samastadon I think you are badly mistaken man... i dont see how u can even think this is hillel. You obviously dont know much about the peppers man

[mofasaaa]

@samastadon YOU are badly mistaken! subway to venus was on the album Mother's Milk, and the last album Hillel still was alive on was The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. And this was played in 1989, slovak died in 1988. Besides it´s very clear to see that it´s frusciante O.o even in his playing.

[IIBrutalGrinderII]

@samastadon

nooo man!

slovak was already dead

this song was released in mothers milk 1989

slovak died in 1987 due to his drug addiction

[KDeGrayDemoliton]

@samastadon frusciante recorded Mother's Milk with the peppers...

[TheOaks1993]

@samastadon n00b

[adamskizz]

no like i just deal with the worst most unlegit swim team dealings everyday and then theres people that do this for a living. like i just wish i could live a legit life

[StraightPunkEdge93]

Did anyone else get the chilis during John's solo for Sexy Mexican Maid?

[XSK8xD]

SAWEEEET bass line man

[billyyfire]

[BesaidAurochs]

imagine someone who doesnt know them at all zapping in at around 4:18

he would be like: whats this all about?

[daSaboriGuitars]

Outa control handstand

[JovialJones]

@PrInCe5627

Keith "Tree" Barry. There are several references to him in Anthony Kiedis's autobiography "Scar Tissue", the first being on page 105.

[JovialJones]

@PrInCe5627 I'm not sure of his real name, but his nickname is Tree. Assuming you mean the guy without a shirt, that is.

[JovialJones]

@PrInCe5627 I'm not sure of his real name, but his nickname is Tree.

[jewsmakingmovies]

I'm the 1000th like! Heheheheheheyeeeee

[DL345]

@jewsmakingmovies When i read your comment that laugh seemed very creepy sounding >.>

[Dash49]

[shittyname567]

[shaunthonys]

Listen to Flea and JF try to take off at 3:13. Chad just reels 'em right back in! MONSTER!!!!

[DimebagsLeftToe]

hey sonic youth in their prime! thats a cool surprise

[redhothellers]

what talkshow is this?

[peckoner]

the real RED HOT with the REAL tracks. after one hot minute > bull shit.

[simonrob88]

@peckoner nah by the way was epic. Should have left it there though.

[gusterk]

its like he is in fast forward...

awesome

[ChunkyKongClan]

I like most of Sonic Youths melodies and stuff but their stuff is so damn noisy and scrachy most of the time.

[everlyredhot]

The REAL RHCP , it will never be the same with with Josh !!

[jozzo6]

Ant, Flea, John and Chad...this will always be the REAL chilis, although we'll never forget Hillel.

[cezack]

Men !!! This is awesome, the real RHCP !!!

Why I was so young at that time ?!?!?!?! I would love to see them live back 80´s ... and I am 29 years old !!

[aaronamccoy]

thats my man marvin pontiac up in this bitch!

[oliver1rhcp]

the favorite song of chuck norris

[SUPACHARGED]

@oliver1rhcp why you dumb fuck?

[hypnosfera1980]

does anyone knows the name of the show ? rhcp wow !!!

[Groove545]

look Chad fuck*ing destroying in the drums!!!

[senna01]

Will someone kindly explain to me what the hell Frusciante is doing at 4:18? I would very much like to reproduce those melodious sounds on my instrument.

[rymansimon]

@senna01 @senna01 Ok..try this..crank up your distortion and volume nice and loud(sustain helps). Press your whammy bar all the way down. With your other hand try plucking the high E,B or G strings behind the nut(above the neck on the headstock). While plucking the string work the whammy bar up and then back down. I got a similar effect to what he's doing that way. He really nails it..I tried it last night and got close. You just have to experiment and practice it.

[JonnyZywiciel]

4:31...no words.

[fireskubabrad]

holy shit 80 pages of comments

GO CHILI!

[Jalnakid]

what a pair of trousers on the bassist

[Jalnakid]

what a pair of trousers

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

David Sandborn is like..."How in the fuck did I get here, and when does the subway come by again?"....

[chicobam89]

in my opinion... this is much better than the studio version.. more feel more emotion. guess they coudnt capture that in the studio

[666yanco]

compare this performance with their latest gigs and what you see is great band that went down the commercial road once again.....sad. they should've stopped at californication if not before that.

[jamezj66]

haha john an an anthony fell over !! class

[Cupnoodlesz]

space is king or so i sing, subway to venussss!

[jburd999]

fuckin dave sanborn!

[d4nl31]

Flea's trousers: insane!

[JerryTheHeretic]

@d4nl31 his famous "animal pants" . they got stollen outa his car later on.

[vincentmack37]

john is so cool on here

[snubbs741]

I've always thought htat RHCP should do a cover of Step off by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

[vladimir0402978]

sonic on the end!

[ranmore30]

[FemaleFrusciante]

[billyyfire]

hahahahahah fuderoso

[No1RHCPfan]

during the solo, what exactly is john doing when he brings his right hande up to the headstock?

[Berwald89]

That's G.E. Smith in the beginning. His new band that he is in, Moonalice, is awesome. check them out.

[TheSicDominator]

sounds pretty much the same as record, incredible how they keep in time with each other.

[peckoner]

@MrJKS10 better to 19 years than now...... they suck now.

[SebasMarinS]

@peckoner they don't suck, they're just different

[peckoner]

@SebasMarinS yep , but i am fan since the 1 st album and i can't to be fan after one hot minute, :'( just different but just ordinary music for me :)

[jensbond93]

@peckoner so you were a fan of RHCP sience you were -1 year old? that sounds pretty weird.

[peckoner]

@jensbond93 ...? i'm deep purple fan's too and i wasn't born during the 1 st album .....what's the problem ?

[jensbond93]

@peckoner well, looked at your profile, your 25 right?

[peckoner]

@jensbond93 i am 25 and.....? i don t understand your reasoning.

[jensbond93]

@peckoner you said you have been a fan sience RHCP first album (1984) you are 25 as it says in your profile, notice anyting weird?

[peckoner]

@jensbond93 fan sience ? fan since i said... yes i am fan since 1 st album (1984) and so...? i listened the 1st and 2nd album when i discover the rhcp and i was born in 1985 , i don t understand lol ^^

[MassiZeGH]

@jensbond93

Seriously ?

[hermano666]

@jensbond93 That's not so weird. I've been listening to the peppers literally since I came out of the womb, nearly 22 years ago.

[jensbond93]

@hermano666 ´sweet

[SuperSaiyanNaruto]

Ahh, good old Heroin.
