[xXrootsrockreggaeXx]

I'm 13 and I think "Hey" is one of the most beautiful and touching songs I've ever heard.

[MrPapas1991]

@xXrootsrockreggaeXx i dont give a fuck your age.dont be poser. just listen to rhcp

[xXrootsrockreggaeXx]

@xXrootsrockreggaeXx I know but he said that you have to be "experienced" which means older. I was just saying that it might seem that way to him, but not me. 

[Chaosfromthedemon]

one of their best songs

[ska95124]

Hey is the best song on the whole album man, they should play it all the time, >.<

[Rdenman92]

Hey is one of my absolute favorite rhcp songs and was actually my first favorite song off stadium arcadium

[christian661199]

and the other day, i listened to it, but i didnt know its hey. and i was like:"man, what is that?" and from that moment on, hey is my favorite chill song! takes you to another place...

[Frankay615]

hey is probably my favorite song on the album. just everything is perfect. nothing else needs to be said.

[jyankeesrock]

[jigsaw1288]

I WILL SLAP EVERY YOUNGSTER THAT DISLIKES HEY

[PhantomCover]

yup. definitely took me the farthest out of all of them. I slipped into another dimension for most of it.

[kingoftheforestband]

It's definitely in my top five too! I get it. I love it. Badass tune, guys. I dug it right away. Stadium Arcadium is the best album you have put out. It made me love you more than I already did before.... By the Way was awesome, so when SA was being released I was scared. I thought, how can they top BTW? You guys sure as hell brought it! LOVE RHCP!!

[donckey123]

it's the simple most beautiful song they've put on the album, 4 best musicians on this planet

[remo07bassclot]

[joesbeforebros]

Listening to the commentary makes me like all the songs even more!

[rOaDrUnNiNgMoNkEy124]

the last thing he said was bullshit, heard that song last year and im only 17 now, that song is what funk and jazz shud be, its moving and fuckin amazin! favourite chilli song!

[acemerald]

Hey and Don't Forget Me are probably my favorite songs. If it is even possible to have favorites from them...

[daddyfatsaxohten]

@acemerald theyre all amazing, but if i had to choose a favourite having listened to all of their records id go with Quixoticelixer, even though it was only a b-side. perfect perfect track. that one, Shallow Be Thy Game, Love Trilogy, She's Only 18 and Savior are in pretty high regard with me... hell i cant pick haha. greatest band of all time

[elarson0405]

i LOVE this song one of the best songs on the album for sure. all the bass line and guitar solos and lyrics... phenomenal song.

[DoctorPepper0]

[MelvinMcNoodles]

Hey is definitely the best song on tht album

Dick-In-A-Box

[KevinJones2012]

[apina313]

[Mowgli715]

@EvilWizardMaltheore but you don't "get" it

[EvilWizardMaltheore]

@Mowgli715 Get off your high horse buddy, it's a song. I've listened to the Chili Peppers longer than you I bet. Condescending prick. I can also play the entire bass part too, in full.

[Mowgli715]

@EvilWizardMaltheore whatever all that meant.....

[PhantomCover]

[Luiso57]

[kiedissmithlover62]

[staggaz32]

I'm 20 and Hey is one of my favourite Chili songs of all time

[studiofifty4]

Yeah... what is anthony saying... it's a Great song for anyone of any age!

[Zado94]

he's saying that you need to have experienced some things, maybe had some troubles. It's a song for people who have examined their lives at least in some detail.

[rhcpfann01]

@Zado94 ..i thnk tats exactly wt anthony ment..the lyrics the the sound n just the way it is..has the feeling of experience...idk tats my opinoin..anyways love the song n it touches me=)

[mactacklelr78]

@staggaz32 samesies

[clearasil11]

Hey's my favourite

[Radz117]

Hey's guitar solo is GOLD

[rach6st]

@Radz117 More like Platinum.

[vlaf9]

john's house is awesome

[mikolene97]

I KNOW... GUITARS EVERYWHERE!

[PauIKim]

wat does this song mean?

[vindzhov]

Everytime John opens his mouth I think "oh god what a dumb f***" but he still plays damn good and comes up with brilliant ideas

[21Maestro8]

john frusciante is much more intelligent than you know

[Bambamyd]

@21Maestro8 he's probably the most intelligent out of them all

[madchild0709]

@21Maestro8 he had a rough time.. poor dude.

[9JackO3]

16 and i love hey one of my favorites of the Chili Peppers

[FunkyMonks217]

12 and i love hey

[dandaman43]

Hey is the greatest song ever! If I was to etch myself into a song, it would be Hey. Its so chill.. :)

[razbigranicu]

they are acting, this is a movie. it looks real because they are amazing actors.

[Pattidermeister]

why? it`s an Interview.

[razbigranicu]

just a stupid joke from me, ignore that.

[pounds1212]

"You're telling me youngsters dont like Hey?" Flea seemed so sad when he asked that question, I personally love the song and the solo is something else. HEY FLEA I am a youngster and i LOVE Hey

[corb1776]

im glad to hear the band seems to really like this song.

the first time I heard Hey it was automatically one of my favorites.

[rachamelia84]

me too!!!  love Love LOVE this song!!!

[Eic92]

so true !!!!

[bazookatooth26]

im surprised they didnt mention johns fucking amazing solo... my favorite solo on the whole album!

[zacman182]

this song is amazing and i think if at any age you really appreciate it then you can understand where the underlying tone and groove to this song is. and yes flea your bass line is fucking amazing

[xXRG4UXx]

Hey is so great, too bad people don't really like it...

[paulio2293]

cuz people dont like their songs that are actually good, 50% of people are female therefore like all this la di da da shit like under the bridge, scar tissue, and dont appreciate skillful composition such as the song hey (inpaticular the solo)

[Rbovo12]

I love Hey. It sucks though that there arent a lot of videos of Hey live. Its a great song.

[chitah415]

IM A YOUNGSTER!!! and I LOVED HEY!! i totally got it.. and im on that train!! mmhmmm! ;)

[Malosovich]

tbh, ive never seen a negative thing said about hey.

and wasn't all the songs still pre production at the time of these interveiws?

[sodarajadude97]

its a pretty good song... i love the guitar john plays throughout and its fun to play along to

[Taren1010]

Everytime I see Flea in an interview- or on stage- I cant help but think of Cheddar Bob off 8 Mile... hahahaha

[Everlong54]

pause it at 0:14

flea looks funny

[Romans10Verse9]

Flea ALWAYS looks funny. Haha, that's okay, he rules.

[goodinbed64]

lmao. you jerk. lol.

[howlinggoat]

The dialogue at the end is so funny.

Flea sounds genuinely upset that the youngsters don't like hey :P

Untrue by the way.

[MissingStrings]

How come this song isn't on youtube anywhere? D:

[Recanon]

Cause you could buy the album too.

[MissingStrings]

Yeah, I have it.

Twice.

BUT

Every other song on the album is on Youtube. But Hey aint.

[PatC33]

Hey is my favorite song on the album...amazing stuff

[mrrhcp1111]

im a youngster and i love hey!:D hahah

[midnitegreen]

me too me too me too me too

[FruscianteLennon311]

this is my favorite song on the album.

[buddahchimp]

omfg i love the chilis so much, usually you find a band and like them for a while and go on and off them a bit, but with the chilis its just love love eternal love im defo getting my RHCP symbol tattoo!

[ablackguydg]

This song is the shit Strip my Mind,Hey,and Wet Sand have been on repeat in my car for a long time now

[Pastafield]

Its great to see Chad actually say something. It's rare.

[goodinbed64]

very rare

[35TCK]

lol. I get what Anthony's saying. Cause i'm like a prime example of it. When I first got SA I heard it and thought it was ok. Then about a year later after my girlfriend left me for another guy, i never felt more close to a song before. It really does take you to that place

[irocknj]

I didnt know Will Ferrel played for the RHCP

[stefan7n]

glad it's not just me who thinks he looks like Will Ferrel!!!!!!!!lol

[Pancho449]

ircknj, its not will ferrel playing the drums, it's chad playing AND acting xD

[STFIband1234]

dude im a youngin' and i love hey, but i also just love you guys in general, KEEP ROCK JOHN, LOVE THE BOOK ANTHONY,

[tycwithzggskatevids]

hey im a young kid and i love this song

[drepown]

like kiedis has a right to say to flea ppl dont like it. fuck off, without flea + co kiedis is nothing, anyone can rap and learn to sing over the 20 years he has been doing it. and hes still not that great a singer

[1Dancheg1]

idiot.. just idiot :\

[drepown]

you think kiedis is a good singer? flea and john are extremely talented. if kiedis wrote that song he'd rave on about it, but because flea wrote, kiedis tells him young ppl dont like it. what a prick

[Rigerdaby]

he is talking about the bassline which means "the song is based of the Chord Structure that Flea wrote on Bass" though this song kicks arse i think it should appeal to everyone its my Venice Queen, Sir Phycho Sexy (two of my Fav Songs of them) for Stadium Arcadium

[KomischerKauz90]

Oh guys...it has to do sth. with the things you experienced...

[Jonathan0229]

hmm, interesting. I love the song to ribbons, but I never thought about 'getting it' I mean, I always felt I just got it, but when I sit down and listen lyrically, I don't know what Anthony is actually singing about. But same with Death of a Martian. I didn't know that it was about Flea's dog. I just liked the song, and found something in it.

[TheArcticMonkeyz]

WHY DO YOU TEENAGERS SAY YOUR AGE? WTF

[Lausnersner]

never realy liked hey that much but am going to listen to it right now ;)

[allemeineentelein]

last year i told my bass-teacher, that i wanted to learn Hey. he was not optimistic ;) it is very difficult to play, because ouf the taps. he thougt my hands are to small for playing this, because i'm a girl, but i did it :D yeah!!

now i'm playing the hole day only this song. allways better and i'm so proud! now i can play nearly every song from stadium arcadium. so, this song showed me that i can do all i want! great symbolic isn't it ? ;D

mhm, my english is garbage..

[baserunner1514]

im 17 this is their best melody for any song

[CoverThis21]

I'm 15.

The first tme i heard it i fell in love with it...I listened to it 34 times in a row at one point. Greatest song on that album, possibly the greatest song by the red hots in my opinion........Truly Beautiful.

[TheArcticMonkeyz]

why do you say ur 15? I don't understand

[Philipp1610]

Probably because Anthony somehow said it's a song which youngsters don't get .

[guitarplayer407]

im 16

" Hey " was my favorite song off the album.

Johns part truly is brilliant

[Femi696969]

"you tellin me the youngsters dont like hey" lol

[blackhand381]

anthony dsnt say tht youngstars dnt like like tht song!

he just say tht you need sme experience to undestand it!

[etblades]

im so on the Heytrain

[milani04]

2:37. I agree with Anthony. If you don't get Hey, you just don't have enough life experience. Because it's one of the most real songs I've heard in my life.

[CanadianChronic2121]

"Hey" is definetly my favorite tune from the Stadium Arcadium album.

its so bluesy and bliss

[Ancaja123]

yes this is such a great song

[Pastafield]

Man, i've never heard Chad so involved in an interview.

[randomproductionz252]

i love this song. it's so good! if i had to pick a song off the top of my head to play for a first time red hot chili pepper listener it would be hey. and i was excited when i listened to this interview because the way anthony describes it is exactly the way i feel about this song.

[californication111]

but all of their songs ever are awesome

[californication111]

not top 5 for me, but top 2

[ricta9]

the video interview has more views than the song..how ironic

[drewmax03]

I agree, this song always remains in my top 5...mesmorizing really.

[jizzneck]

hell ya hey is my favorite song off the album.possibly favorite ever

[californication111]

hells ya man

[nervouswreck22]

this is my favorite song on the album. Im 16. so i guess im kinda young. definitely the song for me though

[glamrocko]

for me thats the best song of the jupiter

[blakemoody3]

brilliant tune.

it is a song for me, anthony! =-)

[crazycrl94]

14 yrs old rhcp ftw =]

[XanderLander100]

yo im 14and i waqs 12 wen de song kame oooot and i luv il..

[ajstaiti]

I'm 14 as well and I can speak proper english.

[FrenchFrye360]

Haha, ajstaiti. What a response!

[Peo2225]

haha yeah i am 15 and i liked it when it first came out when i was like 13

it is the best song ever

[iratevidscuzicool]

im 14 and hey almost makes me cry when i listen to it rofl

[nothinbutmetal1605]

flea looks like mike vallely here, that skateboarder

[lasheron]

song is beautiful. i Love it. It fits into so many aches of life. strip my mind is dope also.

[SportyMusician]

I know what they mean now, first time I heard hey I thought "Hmm nothing special" Now I am ashamed for thinking that. People said that they were deeply moved and I used to just make a confused face. Now I listen, and I missed out...Big Time

[aryalyan]

I'm 16. The notes in the songs (flea's bass line, chad's beats and MR.Frusciante's guitar) are magical. First time I heard "Hey", I felt I was in wonderland. Cheers RHCP for bringing the magic back to music! =)
