well damn. thanx for catchin me up. so hillel was the original guitarist? which album(s) did he play on? yea i guess it was 4yrs ago, didnt realize id been outta college that long. i remember gettin this album my sophomore yr
@lanceunderpants No he didn't. He recorded on Freaky Styley and Uplift. Look it up if you don't believe me. Hillel and Jack Irons were with What Is This who signed a record deal two weeks before RHCP did so they got Jack Sherman and Cliff Martinez to fill in for them. Hillel quit What Is This in 85' and then they recorded Freaky Styley with Cliff. Then Jack quit in 86' and they recorded Uplift which was the only one to have all of the original band members in AK, Flea, Hillel and Jack.
@MrPatto003 This album came out 4 years ago and John was with them for Mother's Milk, BSSM, Californication, By The Way and this album. They've only have 4 guitarist's that have actually made an album with them. Hillel, Sherman, Dave and John. Hillel overdosed, Sherman was a douche, Dave was on drugs and John quit in 1992 but came back in 1998 and he just quit in 09.
@RHCPFreaklol Just not a big Dave fan. He seems to be in rock only for the drugs in girls...and while the RHCP mainly do it for the love of music...though obviously they've had their drug/girl issues as well
i know ima sound like a total douche for askin this, but who are the members in RHCP now. i just love their music, ive never really followed payed much attention to ne one but flea to be honest. n i dont wanna hear ne shit about it from the peanut gallery, a simple answer is all thats requested
@mrode001 Okay, i'm tired of people saying Dave sucks or "Whack". I'm gonna put some Janes Addiction up in a while just to show everybody Dave doesn't suck. DAMN!
ok, i never said he sucks. He can play,, I know Janes Addiction, but they're whatever. His style in general, as a person/musician is not that tight. Obviously its just my opinion. But Frusciante, on the other hand, is without a doubt one of the best ever. You cant say that about your boy Navarro.
@bluemonkeyinc They're not legit without johnny. When david navarro was there it just wasn't good. Even Hillel wasn't as good. I don't know with this new guy, but nobody will be as good as frusc was.
Anthony doesn't like the Rolling Stones, around 91' i think i don't remember, they play as an opening act for them and he said they had to stay in one spot the whole time.
@RHCPFreaklol he said he hated opening for them but i dont think he dislikes their music, if i remember correctly he mentions liking them as a kid in scar tissue.
Well said. I've read Anthony Kiedis' book and he says that as soon as Chad auditioned for the band, they knew he was right for the Chilis as he could create a matching beat with no problem at all and even started challenging Flea's bass playing with his beats whilst jamming. He is a quality drummer, no doubt about that.
chill man i didnt say its a bad thing im just saying its funny to see the same riff, doesnt matter if he used it, musicians do that some times, no need to freak shit on me.
They might sound similar, but they haven't stolen anything. Also, you think that DP wouldn't had done anything if they knew that the RHCP had stolen something from them?
The standard riff of the guitar goes up at the end but comes of one note short. This is why its just on-beat and off-beat playing trough out the song. The drums just keep on doing what they are doing. Both the guitar/bas and the drummer have to make sure they fight the urge to start playing on-beat again :P nothing a little experienced band can't handle.
dude, look at chad play this, he's the only one who changes anything during the main riff, it's where he hits the snare drum in a bar, he just hits it an eight note later after a riff is "played through". John and Flea play the same riff over and over
ive never heard a song where the snare and toms are replaced with symbols, if you would be so kind as to show me another song where this method is used, i would be very entertained
who cares if its not complicated? chads drums have never been too complex. i think what hes trying to say is that chad came up with a really unique sounding part for this song. not to mention that it sounds dirty as fuck. if you listen to a lot of rhcp youll notice that his beats are usually simple but they fit with what flea/john are playing really well.
*the last time i listened to a kid who played drums he tried to tell me that slipknots drummer was the best drummer in the world. fuck that.
oh yeah, i know, chad smith is one of my favorite drummers actually. I'm not arguing that he isn't a good drummer, or that this beat isn't great for this song... I'm just saying it isn't that complex.
Playing this song on Bass is like getting in a fight with Chuck Norris, winning, banging over 9000 chicks at once, having your fantasies come true all while being a complete and utter badass.
