I just read the lyrics to this song and realized something -- I fucking love this band.
These guys have some true human background to them, a fucking human flame that pushes them to speak a good message to the world. There is nothing more badass awesome than that.
@MrMorelloJr well, on my MXR micro chorus i have the rate around 7-8 o'clock, pretty low basically.. i'm not even really sure John uses chorus but it still sounds good haha. he deffo doesnt use it on verses
@joshdh95 john deffinatley uses chorus on this song, theres heaps of chorus infact, from his original boss chorus1 pedal..... there are slight hints of chorus on almost all of johns tones on bssm
There need to be a most liked comment about chad being amazing. there are always about john flea or anthony. there are all amazing, lets not forget about chad!!
Estou até hj procurando musica ruim dentre os antigos albuns do RHCP, mas até hj não encontrei!!! uma pena a banda ter mudado um pouco. 2011 Rock in Rio eh nois mlk!!!!
i am listening this band since 1996.i was 10 years old then..my older cousin gave me some of their albums.This song in my opinion express exactly what peppers are.Funky and kick ass.Despite the fact i'm a bassist i admire John Frusciante's style of playing and his musical philosophy...but man..in this song....hohohoho :) !! Flea is a beast! so aggressive !!!1:03-1:05 wow ???!!!
@beno2367 There is no way he is better than peart, and you don't even want to touch the jazz world (Vinnie Caluati). It just seems like he gets overlooked a bit being in John and Flea's shadows. He's a flawless rock drummer is all I'm saying and he and Flea might be the tightest drum and bass duo of all time.
I grew up in an all-black neighborhood - I'm not; I'm Mestizo. When this tape came out, I put this song on as loud as possible, in my Jeep CJ-7, topless and doorless, and bump the bass. All the brothers would look at me as if to see, 'who is this freak?' Great song and album...:-)
@Mrlsanity personally i dont give a flying fuck whats bein played in a supermarket i dont go there for music and i dont give a shit if someone hates metal they are entitled to there opinion
I was just playing that game yesterday, lol. I heard that song play, and it felt even more nostalgic. I mean, this song got me into the Chili Peppers before I ever got really into them, if that makes sense.
@CYCanaan Honestly I think its just how he looks now! People look stoned when they arnt stoners or arnt stoned at the moment! I have that look sometimes! lol so does John
My fave chili peppers track. Love the stop time, love the bass/drum groove, with the rhythm guitar on top. Every instrument has fantastic tone. Landmark chili peppers tune. Good stuff.
Does anyone else see the line... Blackest anger whitest fear.... To mean that in order for equality between whites and blacks they both must change their ideas of each other. As in blacks need to forget about past rasicim and whites must see blacks as equal people and that whites need to stop giving blacks a bad rep. I kinda also see maybe it meaning black anger over racism and white fear of being racist idk.
These guys are awesome :D not too sloopy listen to the music compared to recorded, its not much difrent besides the singer, he needs the panty hose in front of that thing or to get back off it. but hey hes having fun with it, plus that backgrounds awesome
My english teach had us read the lyrics of this song and annaylze them as a poem. It was the best lesson ive ever had in school.
