  • i've come to teh conclusion

    ALL b-sides are always better than teh CD themselves

    there has to be a reason this didn't make teh cd : /

  • Just listened to this for the 6th time in a row. Such a nice sounding chorus. Shoulda definitely been on Californication.

  • i can't belive this wasnt on californication!!!

  • I have listened to this song about 6 times in row now.

  • 2:47! Was definitely not expecting that... rock on!

  • me neither

  • ya but i dont like it so much if they kept the chilled out mood it would have been better

    im sure this song in its entirety is amazing

  • this song is...

    well i think its beautiful

  • they need to release a boxset of all their non-album recordings SERIOUSLY

  • benjammmin:

    I completely agree. I think this and the Bicycle Song are top 5 songs by RHCP.

    ...Id buy that boxset :)

  • yo whats a b-side dude like the vinyl records b-side?

  • b side is a song that was written for an album but did not make the final cut

  • and then would be put on the B-side of the vinyl

  • My Top B-Sides 

    1) Bicycle Song

    2) Quixoticelixer

    3) Someone

    4) Eskimo

    5) Lately

  • cool song

  • oh the end aha xD. drum fill and scream, it's perfect.

  • I'm glad that all these songs like Quix,Someone, basically all their bsides didn't make it into their major albums. That why true pepper fans can appreciate all these wonderful songs :)

  • help me pop my pimples

  • Perfect Music

  • i love every song on stadium arcadium

    i love rhcp

    merry christmas rhcp fans!

    :D

  • really nice one !

  • aj lööv dat sång!!!

  • In scar tissue Anthony's ghost writer explained that Anthony had pushed for this to be on the album, and was disappointed when it didn't make the cut. This happens a lot with big record labels and high paid producers.

  • ghost writer? how does that whole patnership with larry sloman go exactly because it disappoints me if anthony didnt write that himself

  • rhcp refuses to make a song less than amazing...

  • this one is good but i like also really like Bunker Hill

  • The lyrics are genious. The guitar riff is simple yet great. And the Backing vocals are hella kick ass. This song is so addicting. I cant get it out of my head. And it would have been a perfect fit for Californication. How can you turn down a song like this? Its better than more than half the songs on the album like easily, porcelain, Emit Remmus, I like dirt, this velvet grove, purple stain, right on time. I just dont understand

  • Wow wow there, easily, purple stain, right on time, and THIS VELVEt glove are all great songs, i agree on porcelain and emit remmus :O

  • i heard that they purposly keep the great songs, like this one, off the album. so it doesnt get ruined by populartity and so the real hardcore fans can listen to it as a bside.

    they still put great songs on the albums. but they keep some of them off.

    like this one, and save this lady is a great song, and million miles of water.

    but thats what i haerd so i dont know forsure..

  • No, Anthony said in his book Scar Tissue he was really disappointed in how this song turned out and Californication almost turned out like this until John salvaged it.

  • I don't think anyone actually sat down and said "let's do this" but some good songs do stay off...I like to hope its so they can keep their albums at top quality, but I don't see a reason why this song (better than some ON the album) couldn't be tacked on somewhere. Songs that are rare are more valuable, which I think is stupid. If they hadn't released Dani California or the like, that shit would be GOLD.

  • All of those are fucking awesome, though, except for Porcelain. They should have put this song on By The Way, that album didn't have very many great tracks, IMO.

  • nah. id have to disagree. By the Way had some great songs. Cant Stop, The Zephyr Song, Throw Away Your Television, I Could Die For You, By the Way, and a few more. i personally thought it was a great album

  • I really liked On Mercury, Can't Stop, By The Way, and, to a lesser extent, The Zephyr Song and Throw Away Your Television. I just think By The Way is their most boring album, overall, especially when compared to greats such as Freaky Styley, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, and Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Note that these are only my opinions, nothing more.

    Anyway, I love this song. It's amazing.

  • i guess so. i have heard much from those albums but what i have heard is great.

  • by the way wasnt bad at all. it was just very different and lots of people were shocked by that. I'm not very fond with freaky styley but Uplift Mofo party plan was pretty nice. Am i the only one who really thought that Californication had the perfect amount of funk, AND organized harmonies as well as a few solid sot songs.

  • I never said that any of their albums are bad, I just said that By The Way was my least favorite. ;) Well, that honor(?) might actually go to One Hot Minute, though it has some of my favorite songs by them amongst the garbage.

    And yeah, you're right about Californication. It's one of their better efforts, and ranks near the middle of my list of their top albums.

  • my least fav would have to be one hot minute. but thats just my opinion. dont flame me. i like froosh more.

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers Top 10 #1 Scar Tissue #2 Californication #3 Otherside #4 Snow (hey oh) #5 Desecration Smile #6 Under the Bridge #7 Soul to Squeeze #8 Breaking the Girl #9 Slow Cheetah #10 Can't Stop
  • wow close to mine but mine's #1 Scar Tissue #2 Californication #3 Otherside #4 Snow (hey oh) #5 Suck My Kiss #6 Can't Stop #7 Blood Sugar Sex Magik #7 Soul to Squeeze #8 Bicycle song #9 Dani California #10 The Zephyer Song
  • the solo at the ending of Scar Tissue is probably the greatest thing in music history.

    short & sweet.

  • yeah it is

  • my favorite (no particular order): C'mon Girl, Wet Sand, Charlie, Californication, Around the World, Under the Bridge, Knock Me Down, Zephyr Song, Get Up and Jump, and I Could Die For You.

  • In my Top 5 chili pepper songs. And that is saying a WHOLE FUCKING LOT

  • porcelain sucks....this song shout be on the album

  • I think that this should have made it on the album instead of Easily.

    most of the other Rhcp b-sides like Bicycle song, Over Funk, and Funny Face are better than easily. If you had to delete one song from each RHCP album, what would it be?

  • Easily is good song but porcelain is bad

  • Porcelain is way better than easily. But that is my opinion. Quixotic Elixer is better than both of them. Easily is the only song on Californication that I dont like.

  • i luv this weather its a perfect stormmmmmm

  • yeah I love their every song and all the b-sides should be on record but not instead of eg porcelain 'cause they made the decision and I honor that decision so don't get me wrong

  • I think this song should have been put on Californication in place of Porcelain

  • i think they should of just kept porcelain and added this too

  • omg this song is awsome!

  • this song is really good. :o

    I LOVE THEM <3

  • I swear to god I could not hurt you

  • <3 love love love love love..

    wow i sound like a tool, but fuck it. :D

  • They shud have put this on Californication instead of I Like Dirt.

  • Best B-side ever, hands down

  • I Like Dirt is a pretty cool song I reckon.

  • yeah. but if i like dirt was a b side we'd be like. "This shit is awesome! why isnt it on californication!?"

  • the only solution is to have easily available copies of every single rhcp song ever recorded or performed

  • this is true. torrents ftw!

  • this song is awesome!!!!!!

  • a real shame that they didn't put this song on californicatio...I think.

  • instead of making b-sides they should just make bigger albums!

  • seriously! these b sides have to be some of their best. they should just make a whole album of all their b sides so i dont have to rebuy every album on itunes.

  • torrents my friend

  • this song... fucking <3 man. fucking tight.

  • What is the B-Side of a song????? D:

    Red Hot Chili Peppers best group ever...

  • A 'B-side' is the other side of a vinyl record single--they don't make those anymore, obviously, so B-side is just a traditional, borderline pretentious way of saying "bonus track"

  • this is too good

  • it's kwikksotic-elixir. Adjective + noun.

  • Kwikso-tise-likser? Pretty good song, though.

  • Key-ot-iss-sell-ixer.

    Key-ot-ick-elixir?

    Hmmm. Definitely should've been on Californication, it's so much cooler and more meaningful than a song like, say, "I Like Dirt", which seems to be about .. um ... dirt. Amazing song anyways.

  • quicks-ah-tic-eliks-er

    but don't diss on i like dirt :(. It's still a good song.

    I do agree that this song is the shit though.

  • is the b-side on the other side of a cd?

  • why do you think so??

  • actually, hes kind of right...there called b-sides because they used to put songs on the back sides of records

  • A " b-side " is an old term, dating back to when artists would release a song as a single, usually seperate from any albums. Bear in mind, cd's weren't around 40 years ago, and if a band wanted to promote a song as a single it would be on vinyl. Therefore it would have two sides, A and B. The song being promoted would be on the A-side. The B-side would either be the very same song, alive track, or a track judged by the artist/record company as being not suitable for album release.

  • I think they should replaced Porcelain with this. Honestly, how can you turn down a song like this. Top 5 chili peppers songs of all time

  • Awesome xD

  • anyone have this song???

    my ipod NEEDS this song

  • download it with limewire ! ;)

  • I LOVE THIS WEATHER ITS THE PERFECT STORM

    and i love this fucken song!!!

  • Shouild have replaced it with purple stain.

  • i'm suprised this wasn't on the album, its better then a few of the tracks on there.

    "Gong-Li"

    "The Bycicle Song"

    "Quixoticelixer"

    "Soul to Squeeze"

    all could have been master tracks.

  • Nah, Purple Stain is unreal, I love the end. Top 10 RHCP songs for me:)

  • What?! Easily is Amazing

  • U talkina me? I was replying to someone...

  • la classe

  • Better than most album tracks! Actually, one of my all time fav. RHCP Songs!

  • i love this song. They should have squeezed it onto the end of the californication album! lol but still awesome song!:>

  • i wonder why i love the b-sides more then the "normal" songs^^

  • um whats a b side is it b side of vinyl

  • err i supose it used to be, but ist to moved on to just mean the second song on a "single" - kinda like mixtape - tapes needn't be involved

  • how do u think of these lyrics? its amazing

  • love this song

  • un des meilleurs b sides :p

  • wow, deep...

  • One of my top5 Peppers Songs!!!

  • bellissima sta canzone..this song is very good..

  • So can anybody send me this song? I want it soooooooooooooooooo bad. please1

  • download it, but that would be illegal. or download the youtube vid

  • Downloading from Itunes isnt illegal, and its not too expensive

  • this is real funk people...

  • real funk my ass. but still nice song

  • i thought about guitar riffs...that is funky...

  • it was either this song or californication on that album... what a decision huh...?

  • <3 RHCP

  • This is a pretty good song.

  • It's damn good! (;

  • Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

  • no words

  • jup

  • Are you sure? I'm pretty sure the beatles wrote it. Yeah, they did. I'm sure. It was released in 1980 by the Beatles when they were living in India. The Guitar part was originally on a Sitar.

  • yeah i think i may have read it in anthonys autobiography but im not sure if its quixoticelixer or gong li

  • i just read his autobiography. the song was supposed to be called Quixotic Elixir (two words instead of one) and it was one of his favorite songs he recorded for Californication.

  • hey if it's by the beatles can you tell me a site where I can listen to it??

  • ho can i get this song pls

  • Man, the Beatle's are so damn awesome. This is one of their best songs. I can't believe the Red Hot Chili peppers did a cover of it!!! Amazing.

  • Um.

    No.

  • i Dont think this is a cover?

    im pretty sure the chili peppers wrote this

  • I allso think that RHCP wrote this. One of the good ones :) if not the best.

  • the opening solo blew my mind

  • half of the views are me lol

  • the bicycle song is a good b side also

  • definetely

  • What is a b-side?

    And awesome, this song rocks, I love it, I can't stop listening to it! (and what does Quixoticelixer?)

  • When a band recordes an album they record "alot" of songs but they can't all be in the album so the songs that can't get in the album are put in the singles of that album, and that's why they're called b-sides

  • A b-side is just a song that didnt make the album, it might be realesed as a single or something.

  • are b-sides songs that didn't make the album?

  • yup

  • where can i find thes songs to get ino ther b-sides but i still wanna try to find them.

  • I know B-sides are meant to be good but this would have fit 'californication like a velvet glove

  • Yea, same with the bicycle song and by the way

  • by the way isn't a b-side

  • I meant that the bicycle song would be a perfect fit for By the way, just like Quioxticelixer is a perfect fit for Californication

  • oh... okay. Hoped u knew that cuz of the album's called by the way.

  • John's backing vocals in this song are extremely layered and eerie...I love it.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG.

  • I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it :^)

  • the first time i heard this song i couldnt stand it but really its fucking amazing

  • love everything about this song,i love the bassline in this song also

  • man, those baqckgrounds are freeky haunting.

    awesome song.

  • fucking awsome, the peppers are the best

  • Awesome! Glad there are still plenty of their songs I haven't heard (like this). Looks like i've got lots more to check out (I never thought about B-Sides)

  • try 'save this lady' or 'million miles of water'

  • I've got Save This Lady now. Cool song :D and Joe too

  • yeah i havent heard save this lady on million miles of water is good

  • kiedes said in scar tissue (book) that he was glad some song didnt end up in the thrash bin lik quixoticelixer i like this song tho i dunno why it didnt get on the album one or 2 of the californication album songs really give me a headache

    for any the fans..... if u like rhcp type in best of frusciante and watch the live tours its a collection of johns best solos with flea theyre fukn amazing

  • That 2nd chorus and rap is orgasmic!

  • OMG! I love this song <3

  • it's a good b side, but their best is "Bicycle Song"

  • Instead of bop I meant punt srry

  • "I refuse to bop on fourth and long" lol, I get it, quite deep

  • actually thought it was just ok on first listen but that chorus is so fuckin cool now i'm hooked!

  • truely amazing song

  • I have listened to this song so many times. I just...cant...stop. (addiction)
