  • RETURN BOYS I LIKE THIS SONG I WANNA SING THIS SONG IN PERU

  • The best of this is

    they made this for a good action

  • this is AMAZING!!!

  • When someone play his own song many times he/she finds better and better things to add and when the creator is talanted , then are happen things like this . : ]

  • sometimes i actually forget how much red hot chili pepper songs actaully mean to me, i like this because it reminds me how much there music, and just music in general just holds can you together, it can speak for everyone sometimes : )

  • i cant wait till they do their last tour. it's so sad it's their last but I CANNOT WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

  • @lauralikes what do u mean their last tour

  • Anthony and John's voices go so well together..

  • the message is= dont do drugs!!

  • Man, John's backing vocals. Mind blasting.

  • John Frusciante <3

  • Red hot chili peppers? Acoustic? to rare

  • WOOAAAOOW Perfect , better then the Studio version !

  • john is having sex with his guitar, not performing

  • Ye good

  • @punkc4 Version

  • flea is the best bassist for me.... evah!!

  • Wow I Love it!

  • This is probably their 2nd best performance of this song, next to slane castle. Though if you're looking for a soft soothing version this is probably the best.

  • cannot stop listening to this, it's amazing

  • Anyone know what guitar frusciante is playing?

  • @TootingTooter A martin from the 50's

  • is the only song they played on this set??

  • lo mejor de lo mejor

  • omg they are so fucking talented!

  • can some write what they´re saying? my english isn´t very good and i can´t understand them. Thanks!!!

  • Does Chaz remind anyone else of Will Ferrell?

  • Like Bar = Anthony Kiedis' dick

    Dislike Bar = Justin Bieber's dick

  • we gonna miss you sr frusciante

    

  • Fruciante making backing vocals it's really good!

  • yeah i definitely laughed after "and your cash" ._.

  • "And your cash"

  • @co05 haha he wanted to make sure that went out clearly.

  • stoned

  • for me its a excelent song... i like...

  • beautiful!

  • awsome...

  • anthony sings great

  • please look at my acoustic cover that i did of under the bridge and comment, rate, critisize...thank you so much id greatly appreciate it. i think its pretty good but its wut u think thanks everyone

  • it's hard to believe that there's nobody out there part is amazing :)

  • wow...the added notes john put in the chorus sound so good.

  • what kind of acoustic is Fruciante (sp) using?

  • @jjointer it's a 42' Martin 0-15

  • Would anyone happen to know how John does this little lick or smth during the chorus?

  • @MrPelmeenid Just a slide, like a hendrix thing :)

    I can point it out more clearly if you want to.. :)

  • dude.. this is amazing!

  • my favourate part is from 0.00 to 4.50....

  • @howya45 mate, thats soo old, everyone pulls that one out of the hat everyday, don't make it out like your a really deep person because you wrote some cheesy comment. but i see what you mean bro.

  • awesome!

  • what a perfomance they are genius

  • Flea cant sit still :D

  • They are so awsome!!!

  • 2:26 so pure :)

  • They should play more of their songs acoustically... scar tissue, californication, i could have lied...

  • by far the best under the bridge performance of them all.

  • First time i've seen some emotion in Kiedis' face while singing this song. Probably the best performance i've seen of this song by them.

  • kiedis' vocals have very progressed, that was almost perfection

  • Some people don't know how unique anthony's voice is. He can sing and rap. And the rapping is one of the rhcp characteristics. My opinion is that since stadium arcadium anthony became a good vocalist live!(This is one of the greatest examples)

  • you got tabs for the guitar?

  • John added an extra fill to the guitar riff in the chorus! ;D Gotta love it! I Love them all!

  • peppers *Wouldnt be the ame,Anthony and flea are the originals,Ther all friends Not just musicians :)

  • Yeah but,If john was th singer,The peperswould be who they are.

  • the outro should ve been longer!! with a guitar solo or bass solo or something :(...

  • John should just be the singer in the chillis, think about how good that would be.

  • Nah, as much as I love Frusciante, he's just so perfect with his backing vocals i wouldn't want to take that away. And I love the way Anthony's voice goes with all their songs

  • Fair enough, see thats a sensible reply, its silly when people are like "ah fucking douche fag" just because they disagree with someone haha. His voice sounds good sometimes, and good in the studio, but on a lot of live recordings that ive heard its out of tune and just lacking something in places. Especially in the other acoustic version of under the bridge thats on here. Then again i obviously like RHCP otherwise i wouldnt be here :)

  • probably because those live recordings were before anthony got singing lessons. he sounds better now.

  • He had singing lessons? Lame. Well he sounds good on the recording of this song, just not live.

  • wat r u talkin bout he sounds great

    :D

  • Yes, he had especially to sing just Under the bridge. He was teaching by Michael Jackson's teacher.

  • All professional singers have/have had some form of teaching/lessons. Most do it through out their entire careers to learn new techniques and stuff.

  • Definatly not true, granted a lot of them do, but a large number of singers have never had any singing lessons and never intend to, alot of people can just teach themselves.

  • David Gilmour has been at it 40 odd years and can't read music. Still pretty damn good at what he does

  • Even Michael Jackson wasn't able to read notes...

  • @AreYouIrrelevant he sounds really great live. just check out the slane castle concert and you'll see how awesome they sound live!

  • well did you here his solo songs? I think his voise is made for backing vocals.. well He is a good singer but it sounds better like this..

  • you are only being a dick

  • Amazes me that people care though.

  • JF's vocals are amazing in this

  • i agree

  • one of the best things about the chilis is that one song is never performed the exact same no matter how many times they play it. The same song always seems to provide a different experience because of the variety of ways that they make it sound. you cant say that about many other bands

  • Wanna see anyone flame AK's vocals now...

  • the Best!!! <3*

  • yeah, RHCP is the 90' s best band of this kind. Unbelieveble many bands with the PIXIES n NIRVANA style emerged but no one like them. May be Urban Dance Squad? Here in Italy we adore a half french, half latin band called SWAVE. Seek their song "In the Future" is awesome too

  • this is the most beautiful live performance of this song...

  • wow i think this is the first time iv seen them play sat down

  • I am soo pumped for their new music. can't wait to see what kind of magic they will come up with this time.

  • shhh flea just shhhhhhhhhhh....

  • amazing...

    RHCP FOR EVER!

  • He is the master, super good

  • amazing

  • my favorite song :) _:

  • Okay 2009 is half over, time to come back from hiatus and start pumping out new tracks, RHCP!

  • they're coming back in october!

  • Yeah I heard about that, I'm so stoked!

  • Anthony sings better

  • it's really hard to do back vocals on the verses on under the bridge

  • what kind of bass is flea using?

  • its just amazing how great anthonys and johns voices sound togehter

    love RHCP

  • I love this music, it's my favorite song.the best of Red Hot Chili Peppers.I love when John Sings "Under the bridge Downtown"

  • Beautiful bass

  • holy shit ;]

    they're dressed

  • @kubak2008 thats because this is a serious event for the tsunami in 2005

  • my favorite live version of this song by far

  • beautiful song. RHCP r the best. go to my channel for Chili peppers videos

  • 4:29 = awsome

  • Comment removed

  • incredibile, non so se la suoneranno mai più in questo modo...

  • Best live performance I've ever seen these guys pull off of this song. Smashin'!

  • Whoa, this sounds just like the album version, which means RHCP are talented of course.

  • Actually I think that the best version of this song is the one Anthony and John performed on a boat in A'dam. The sun shines and they're so happy about life... just beautiful... But this one is also a good one.

  • John wasn't happy. He said he and anthony didn't really cling that well.. his only friend in the band back then was Flea and he was bummed that he had to do the interview with anthony and not flea.

  • no, not that he was bummed because he had to do interviews with anthony, but instead because he had to go in the first place to do press, when it was always anthony and flea who did that.

  • Are you sure? I think I can remember john saying he didn't like the way anthony was treating him, but I can also remember he saying he didn't want to meet the press.

    But I am 100% sure he said that his only real friend and the person he had the most fun with at that time was Flea..

    Well, I dosen't really matter who's right, the important thing is now they love eachother and want to make more music! :)

  • hang urself

  • lol, what's your problem?

  • Thanks alot to all guys! :) You are a real help to get over the pain that's still in me! thank you!

  • Holy shit ElWurstoConPopone is your story true? I feel terrbile for you ::S

  • my mother and my father were killed by this hurricane! i saw this on tv, i thought hopefully my parents are alive, but they weren't anymore , i always have to cry when i hear this song ;(

  • Dude, I really feel sorry for you... and yeah, a good song to cry to. Cheer up dude!

  • thanks alot!

  • dude, I'm so sorry for your loss but I'm glad you're still here with us. I don't know you but I hope everything's OK with you. God bless!

  • im mexican but your situation really shock me, all the people on the world no mater her nacionality have to be united.

    good luck friend, im really sorry.

  • sorry man i feel really bad for you

  • That harmony John sings in the second verse sounds wicked!! I didn't think this song could get any more awesome, until I heard that, it's the icing on the cake!! They should have recorded it like this hahaha

  • better then live at slane !!! 5/5

  • can't agree!

  • john sings wonderful in this song

  • I love this song sooooo much it isn't even funny. I think the acoustic version seen here might even be better than the album version. Regardless, this song is amazing!

  • He's a great live performer.

  • One of the best songs ever wrote i say

  • yeah !

  • whe was this?

    im just wondering what "disaster" he's talking about at the begining

  • Hurricane Katrina.

  • it's Katrina

  • What kind of acoustic bass is flea playing? Martin?

  • looks like a taylor i think

    i think its called the AB-4 but im not sure

  • For an acoustic bass it has a real clean tone.

  • what kind of guitar is this ?

  • clasical

  • yeah, I meant what model, but Ive skipped a few pages, thanks anyway !

  • it's a martin 00-15

  • That's not a classical guitar...like shigityshigityshwa said, it's a Martin...steel string.

  • Your right it's not a classical guitar, but it is like shigityshigityshaw said, a Martin 00-15 a steel string with mahogany top. A 00-14 fret mini jumbo, really nice guitar.

  • its actually a 0-15

  • A 1940 one if I'm right... Going to buy a 00-15 one.

  • RHCP ROCKS!!!

  • Was this for Katrina?

  • xvre!!!!!!!!!

  • holy shit

    i love this so much

    bout all i have to say

  • Probably one of the best songs ever!... Great performance, best band!

  • I really enjoyed john's harmonizing:)

  • I know, during the second verse. They sound awesome.

  • this was great, Anthony was in the zone. John sounded great as usual, but the backing vocals were really impressive.

  • Shit hot!

  • damn.. great song, great performance, great band one of the best.

  • love you,guys!!!!!!

  • bien cool le morceau surtout en accoustique pour destresser c est parfais

  • One of the best songs every

  • Johns playing a vintage 1950s Martin 0-15. The resale value for them surprisingly isn't that great. A guitar like that costs approximately 1,500 to 2,500 dollars.

  • Try 1930's according to his website,

  • Trust me his is worth more due to the fact he owns it, probably five times that price your saying...possibly more.

  • aun no termino de traducirla, pero me fascina esta rola me inspira

  • john is playing too damn fast in the beginning

  • He's either playing a martin oo-15 or a d-15.

  • Anthony did a GREAT job during this performance.

  • It's interesting how there multiple closeups of everybody but John. John only got a few closeups.

  • Yeah, I hate that.. There should be a "John camera" :D

  • One of the best performances of Under The Bridge. One of my favorite songs <3 it!

  • does any1 know what type of guitar john is playing there

  • If its the same as the itunes version its suppoisdely a circa 1930s-1940s martin.

    As to what kind of Martin I'm unsure but I'm sure martin's website can let you know what gutiar in that time frame had that deep finish with a very small profile. I gotta image its worth in the 10s of thousand range

  • is a Martin 0-15 from like 1957 or 1956..

  • go to his tab/gear website..jftabdotcom,shows pics and info on all of his gear.

  • I like how johns playing has gotten more fluid for songs like this
