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 : )
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.
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
@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.
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)
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 :)
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.
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
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
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! :)
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 ;(
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
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!
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.
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.
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
Easily the best performance of this song I've ever seen!
