  • Totally rocks btw..

  • What is b-sides? Wondering why I've never heard this...

  • @musicalmaster12 songs they cut from the cd

  • putamadre!! awesome :)

    john frusciante come back.........

  • Reminds me of a cross between "Machine Gun" and "Are You Experienced?" by Hendrix

  • @jerkwang69

    Fuck yes.

  • am I the only one that thinks red hot has lot's of better b-sides than a-sides?

    love their a-sides too tho

  • Oh my god, 160000 views EXACTLY! :O

  • ye they make amazing b-sides, but think otherwise, it those b-sides would be on albums, and those album songs would be b-sides ( makes so much sence lol) then u would say that those b-sides are better than a-sides... such a paradox.

  • "But a Jezebel spirit gonna steal my health", my name is Jezabel and any time I hear this song, I got so proud ! :)

  • it is actually guitar music backward. Several times drums are backward on Beatles (magical mystery tour) songs. the strike of the drum or a guitar string is the 'end' of what you hear. Instant 'stone-idge' is what I feel.

  • Comment removed

  • @JCisAWESOME246

    You're wrong. The intro of "like the dj" of incubus sound like this song :)

  • The intro sounds like "Are You Eperienced?", from Hendrix..

  • i don't know why this song isn't in Stadium Arcadium, it's awesome

  • Its a lick from the song Are you experienced de Hendrix!

  • Am I really that stoned or is pacman changing colours?

  • @inFamousMun hahahaha! now that you mention it :D

  • this should be the official music video for the song

  • b-sides ftw :)

  • One of my favourite RHCP songs... ever.

  • rip off riff of jimis song of are u experienced...

  • @Randy4herEra sounds nothing alike.

  • This color-changing effect is so freaking cool =)

  • i never knew they made this song

  • Fleeee!!!

  • I coulda sworn that Pac-Man was orange just a minute ago...

  • pacman!!!

  • why the b-sides are SO greeat but theres no album for them??

  • just : WOW!

  • Red hot chili peppers and the cure both do fantasic b-sides!

  • @WomenOppinion You're a fucking nimrod, woops, I said "fucking", that's sexual. You need a root, loosen up.

  • The beggining sent chills throughout my body & i was lyk ":O ...wait its just typical John being his awesome self with the guitar ^_^"

  • Frusciante !! T-T

  • @WomenOppinion Just making sure you aren't one of those 3 fellows that enjoys licking windows... A simple like or comment regarding the tingling you feel in your genitals when you hear this would've been suffice...

  • Pacman?

  • this song is on par if not better than a hell of alot of their A sides .. i dunno what it is with b sides they seem to have this magic resonance about them.

  • @Bushie1988 Every single song is awesome :) tell me which asides your talking about

  • @YourSkyliner lol are you seriously expecting me to go through 20 + years of A sides ? and im a massive chilli's fan but sorry not EVERY single song of theres is awesome sure theres been a good few albums where every song has been damn good but yeah to keep things simple i find this song better than the majority of there A sides .. thats just my opinion doesnt mean its gospel haha , peace.

  • @WomenOppinion Not only are you an idiot, you can't spell or punctuate. If you consider this sexual content you should go play in traffic on a busy highway...

  • If I try really hard, maybe I can imagine people who don't like RHCP. But how hard I try, I simply cannot think of anyone who could DISlike them! I mean, the've got songs for everything!

  • best fucking bside ever....why the hell havnt i found this before now?such a awesomrific song. froosh's guitar is sex!

  • no matter what style they write songs in, it's still totally them and no one can touch them because of that. (:

  • I love Red Hot Chili Peppers, because of their history, music types, instruments, emotional songs, live performances even better than album songs, you name it. People often compare RHCP with Lil Wayne. At some Channel once I saw lil wayne having a performance, and I thought it was nice. Only the fake stuff like he trying to play guitar is what I didn't like. I didn't even know it was Lil Wayne! Now what. To me: lil wayne nice, RHCP forever.

  • i never understand how people like frusciante and hendrix have reversed solos that sound so good. im curious if they play a solo they like and reverse it to see what happens, or if its planned out, i feel like that would be a hard thing to plan. anyone know?

  • @crayyawn there is a reverse pedal for guitar which reverses it just as you play, I guess it would be impossible to record something while thinking it backwards, total confusion! :S

  • @lukat93 hahaha, that explains a lot!! that always mind boggled me so much, they would be total geniuses if they could do that lol

  • John Frusciante is simply a god when it comes to making riffs.

  • @minimizzelstat dont forget flea!! lol but yes, very much so, imma miss him

  • @minimizzelstat lol n1 for me

  • @minimizzelstat JF is simply a god when it comes to making music :)

  • @minimizzelstat He is the most influential guitarist since Jimmy Hendrix.....But Clearly the world best Guitarist EVER.........

  • @minimizzelstat John Frusciante is simply a god

  • @minimizzelstat yeah but is nothing more for a great song, exemply....

    

  • Satan is waitin`for me!

  • @elspackodelsol now i hear that too :D

  • @thesuperjustinbeiber

    You are a retard. Lil Wayne is an awesome rapper, but like srsly?! Lets not start spouting random, incorrect shite just for the sake of having a comment. Muppet.

  • OH SHIT WHEN DID PAC MAN GO UPSIDE DOWN???? :D

  • anyone know what year this was around?

  • @MooseHunter911 this song was written to be included in Stadium Arcadium (which was originally supposed to be 3 separate albums, reduced to a 2-disk album). The song was released as a B-side to Desecration Smile in Feb 2007.

  • @penjrav8r thanks!

  • like Frusciante sad .... Its not the point to show people what i can do with peace of wood in my hand ... the real thing is to sound good and people to feel that...

  • @thesuperjustinbeiber

    Lol. I only hope you one day stop wasting your time and get a life. Its quite nice :)

  • YEAH.. PACMAN...:D

    

  • Great song. . . no ceilings

  • Does the intro remind of Are You Experienced by Jimi?

  • @lukat93 the intro a little yea but not the song . the percusive palm mutes...

  • @lukat93 indeed

    

  • the verse reminds me of especially in michigan :D

  • omg this pac man smile thig is sooo epic^^

  • save this song for me --> to favorites

  • sorry but can someone explain b-side to this new generation? is it like b-side of a record?

  • Tell me this that this would not make a good stoner song?

  • am i the only person who thinks that this song was VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY inspired by Hendrix`s "Are You Experienced"?

  • i think this song holds some of a.ks best lyrics =)

  • Can't wait until their next album in spring. I'm definitely seeing them next year on tour!!!!

  • RHCP keep it old school, newer music genres gotta make way for the bands that honor the fathers of our music

  • underrated

  • That stuff at the beginning reminds me of Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?"

  • @b1gguy7 same here.

  • @b1gguy7 DUDE I was thinking the same thing lol

  • oh.

    i`m not the only one

  • gotta love the reverse solos

  • The intro is so similar to are you experienced by Jimi H !!

  • FUCK! yaaa :D RHCP!!! ^^ RHCP RULEZ!

  • y is this song a bside!?

  • remix of especially in Michigan in slower version VV....i mean it hear the same....but still it's a good music ^^

  • I would kill to know where to download this :P

  • i just had an eargasm

  • they should realease a B - side album, just like Peal jam did with "Lost Dogs"

  • the verse is extremely similar to especially in michigan

  • PACMAN!!!! RHCP!!!

  • good video :)

  • Guys don't you notice verse is the same as specially in michigan?!

    and you say you are fans of them?!

    that's the reason this songs are b sides because they weren't satisfied with them for SA

  • i love songs like this. you know when they recorded it based on the sound. its the same basic outline as especially in michigan. RHCP is one of the best bands to ever play music. please come back john frusciante

  • #LOL

  • is it me or did the first 12 seconds sound like Are you experinced by jimi hendrix

  • #LOL

  • amazing song

  • #OMG

  • @johnmacdee Wow, best RCHP I have heard in months, thanks a whole bunch. Now for the million dollar question, how to get the original tracks ? Most likely not available.

  • #LOL

  • @hucar3z how do ya do that?

  • @MyJobIsToKickAss put # then fail, lol, or omg in capital letters. #LOL #FAIL #OMG

  • Flea and John compliment each other well when they play.

  • one of the few pot one hot minute songs i like

  • "Vampire blood and a baseball glove" Kinda reminds me of the baseball scene in twilight. I can't really see the connection between vampires and baseball though :P

  • @margarette86 that's what i thought, and i searched through the comments to see if anyone else noticed it xD

  • what does it mean B-SIDE?

  • B-Side means that it wasn't on any of the major studio albums.

    Most bands have a lot of songs that they write, and only some of them make it to the official studio albums.

  • @misterfreekie1996- If you go in you parents attic you may find a source of music we used to call "records". They are a flat, black disc and carry a sound long forgotten. A long time ago artists would put their "big hit" on an album (record) and studios would put another not-so-popular song on the back. The "hit" song was the "A" side, while the other was a "B-Side."

  • RHCP cant make a bad song no matter what style they choose they have to much talent and natural gift to make shitty music i wish there were more bands like this today, todays music is just noise nothings worth listening and buying full albums for just because u respect the artist, i see lil wayne on tv tryin to look like he knows how to play guitar nd i jus laugh and change the channel... what happened to music

  • @Kickaholeinthesky88 mtv is what happend. after the first minute of the real world, MTV was killed, thus killing real music in the proses.....and rap...rap killed real music as well........stupid lil wayne trying to play the guitar.

  • @Kickaholeinthesky88

    i wonder how they would sound if they make metal...

    (sorry for my bad english... im german)

  • @Kickaholeinthesky88 Money happened to music. What happened to literacy standards? *cough*

  • @Kickaholeinthesky88 i agree 150%

    today's mainstream music and "musicians" SUCK

    nothing beats red hot chili peppers

  • @Kickaholeinthesky88 agree with u man. rhcp are just utterly amazing in so many ways. and as for lil wayne fuck him stick with this and u cnt go wrong :D only way we can get music to how it shud be is by promoting stuff like this to ppl

  • @Kickaholeinthesky88

    well thats why we have RHCP! XD

  • @Kickaholeinthesky88

    completely agreed dude. I'm attempting to bring back the older style of good music with the music i write. Hopefully when i make it big i can change some peoples views on music.

  • @Kickaholeinthesky88 fuck yeah, it's like for me who is 17 year old in france the only one i see to understand that, where is rock and music ?

  • I would agree but only a little bit

    i would still say that its a work of art

  • they are the same people exprssing their selves through their music. if that feeling that sound makes takes them away then I think its ok to use it again and again.

  • Come on! Don't you hear it? It's a rip off(plagiarism) with no original idea.

  • @redyossarian - meh, both good songs. I dont care. lol. both give major brain boner when the world is quiet accept this song or that song. agree?

  • That's probably why it didn't make the album. No need to insult them.

  • It is not an insult, it is just my personal feeling about the song. If I wanted to insult them I would say: Frusciante should have got back to drugs instead of going back to Peppers in 97. Something has change in his mind after his departure from the band in 92. He's not the same man and I blame the drugs for it.

  • so youre saying all music you listen to sounds the same?and that musicians shouldnt ever change?because idk if youre aware of this,but CHANGE is a part of life. people have experiences and they grow and evolve as a result of those experiences.the thing that sets the chili peppers apart from any band in the world is how much they cherish and love each other and how honest and real the emotions are in each of their songs.if every album was a clone of BSSM, they would have run out of ideas long ago

  • @erikleib420 well said! :)

  • Comment removed

  • I'm still heavily considering seeing them this year live this summer (hopefully). I still have mixed feelings regarding "Stadium Arcadium" (even though there are indeed a lot of excellent tracks off it). "By the Way" still ranks to be my favorite of their work.

  • alot of people say by the way is there worst record cuz they changed there style but its onna my favorites of theres alot of feelings on that album dosed, dont forget me, midnight, tear, on mercury not to mention cant stop, zephyr, nd by the way awsome fucking album

  • @JesusCristo2002 same here. By The Way is pure euphoria.

  • awsome song, listened to it on repeat for a while now, deffo should of been on the stadium arcadium album or should of been released!

  • i think there should be a b-side compilation album, for one because more people would know about this music, and two, just more convienent for people

  • Why is everybody whining about a b-side compiltation? I mean, it would probably make an awesome album, but all those songs are already out there, you know? It's not like you need that compilation to listen to those songs.

  • @GerbenD4., some people like to own CD's. It's not really a huge deal, some people just prefer it.

  • im in love with somebody since one year. alot of things have happend and im grateful for all of it. but i still i wish i would have four minutes to share my feelings with this person. awsome song!

  • don't let fear take control of your life, live.

  • "Boy named Sue" *

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah (JesusCristo ) When they are gonna do this B Side compilation ?! I really surprised by the quality of those B sides ! I love Red Hot !

  • shouldn't it be "42 years young is a little bit old" ? :P

  • to die? 42? old?

  • why they didn't put this song in the album stadium arcadium?? I think that some b sides are better than some album songs

  • Excellent B-Side recorded during the "Stadium Arcadium" sessions, I also love "Mercy Mercy", "Million Miles of Water" and "Lately". They need to release a B-Side box set consisting of every B-Side recorded between "Californication", "By the Way" and "Stadium Arcadium". They also recorded a few for the "Greatest Hits" compilation (the 2003 release).

  • wanted this for years but i dont have much hope they will release one

  • I agree. Most of their B-sides in those eras are just as good or if not better than the studio tracks. Bunker Hill is one of my favorite songs by the Chili Peppers, but not many people know about it.

  • @JesusCristo2002

    a few?

    they recorded a full album (about 16 songs)

    but they released only fortune faded,runaway and save the population

  • @JesusCristo2002 Totally agree !!

  • i think he used his chorus...

  • definately sounds like chorus.

  • lol basketball jones and the great unknowns haha

  • i was wondering the same thing about the bridge

    how does he get that echoey kind of sound in the part where its just a picked riff? 2:00 - 2:37

  • vibrato pedal

  • does anybody know how JF is getting that guitar sound on the intro and stuff? it sounds to me like it's palm muted with distortion and maybe played backwards, but it's hard to tell.

  • In the right speaker john plays the intro riff with muted strokes (not palm muted), in the left speaker he plays the exact same riff but only reversed.
