Red Hot Chili Peppers - Funky Monks

[EnchantingIllusion]

actually, it's the guitar playing at the beginning, not the bass... just check out a live version of this song and you'll see that John's playing that part :)

[Follyfy]

@TheGroumpfy

watch?v=OJGbJD3z4P4

Check this if you want to see Fru playing it

[Follyfy]

@TheGroumpfy

It's slapping n popping on an acoustic guitar, usually a technique used on a bass guitar however.

[TheGroumpfy]

@Follyfy I thought that too, 'cause the strings don't sound like bass ones, however, the strumming is strange. Thanks, anyway.

[MrAero164]

at the start it's a bass guys trust me ;)

[americanTDz]

@TheGroumpfy Sounds like popping on the G String.

[americanTDz]

@TheGroumpfy Bass, maybe...

[ldizzzy8]

Acoustic.

[TheGroumpfy]

At the beginning, is it an acoustic guitar or a bass playing the main riff ?

[DarkJinx257]

@TheGroumpfy Actually, it's an unamplified strat miced up!

[CaptainFunBlade]

The ULTIMATE GROOVE !

[bergjasper]

Fking sick solo!!!

[toshi281]

The bass line is again dirtier than a naked nun doing power squats in a cucumber field.

[BlackenedThorn]

@toshi281 Or dirtier than Tiger Woods after 18 hoes... I mean holes... Golf holes...

[MrDavehef]

I have loved the Peppers since i was at school. From the begining-ish... I put this shit on and it sounds as good as the first time i ever listened to it. Fucking dirty funk. Evil sexy, funky dirtyness. OH SHIT YEAH!

[CarlosHigg]

not enough of a hook for this song imo

[FarewellThoreau]

Anthony made up a part of this strumming on one of John's guitars one day, and he shows it to him only to be laughed at. John says that the tune just stayed in his head and he eventually went back to the melody :)

[added23]

@FarewellThoreau lol. everyones seen the video dude

[PusswhipBangGang]

comments are lame. you all are lame.

[RHCPFreaklol]

@PusswhipBangGang You're better than us because you don't comment on anything, right? 

[Millerfresh]

johnny, don't let your naive sense of musicology let you post dumbass comments on youtube

[johnnyturrington]

dude fuck nirvana they gargle dick and balls if kurt cobain came back i'd shoot his pathetic ass again

[RHCPFreaklol]

@johnnyturrington Well, I think somebody got drilled in the ass a little too much. I think you're the one who gargles dicks and balls. Nirvana is one of the best bands ever. You're just a big assface. I really hate you for saying you'd shoot somebody just because you don't like their music. You sound like fucking Mark David Chapman you fucking douche.

[camolas]

@RHCPFreaklol Nirvana one of the best bands ever? LMFAO 

[MaxxPaulTv]

@RHCPFreaklol Actually Mark David Chapman was a Beatles fan just crazy.

[CJcleere]

@RHCPFreaklol Hahaa, yes i do agree with you but, 'you big assface'?!, i mean, come on man, couldn't you think of something just a little bit better than that? :P :')

[aerlingus18]

@CJcleere exactly what i thought

[LongLiveOzzyOsbourne]

@RHCPFreaklol and why isnt Mark Dead yet???? is the real question!!

[MaxxPaulTv]

@johnnyturrington I don't know how Nirvana came up, but anyways fuck you.

[stojkebg]

@johnnyturrington So you are the only saint in this land?

[skullncrossbones365]

Nirvana RCHP RATM Korn were the only really innovative bands in the 90's

[XxMetalicDeathxX]

@skullncrossbones365 eh, subtract Korn and add sublime, i agree

[aaronJORDON]

@skullncrossbones365 yep. unfortunately KoRn is a pile of shit NOW. i mean, then, they were fantastic. "Blind" such a great song.

[holymetalhypocrite]

@skullncrossbones365 PEARL JAM???

[sciencemath777]

4:27 and on *struts throughout house and dirty dances with cat

[DinoRider831]

i love all there music.

[MrToorude]

Love Funk music .. this really made my day!:D

[mheow86]

If you look up the word funk in the dictionary the name of this song would be beside it:-D puuuure funky funk.......

[mheow86]

If you look up the word funk in the dictionary the name of this song would be beside it :-D puuuure funky funk.....

[RHCPFreaklol]

@pithw Lol, this is like Funk......just like the title says.

[Beckedorff]

Dude, and you forgot fucking "Ten" by Pearl Jam

[patrickcharleton]

By the way > Blood Sugar

[Beckedorff]

@patrickcharleton dude, are you serious??? BSSM is the best album ever made by the Chili Peppers. By The Way is a good pop album, but Blood Sugar is fucking awesome. RHCP is funky, and who really knows the band knows it...

[fendermaxime]

one of their best guitar riff

[CrypticC62]

Blood Sugar Sex Magik > By The Way + Stadium Arcadium

[pbxj2000]

@CrypticC62

Dude you forgot One Hot Minute and Californication!

[CrypticC62]

@pbxj2000 It was a simplified inequality. I shall expand:

Mother's Milk + Blood Sugar Sex Magik + One Hot Minute > Californication + By The Way + Stadium Arcadium + Tits + Cookies

[drewmfuller]

you can't not sway with beat

[fuckingsob]

I was in 10th grade in 1991 when this album was released. Can you imagine a more perfect time? I rocked the HELL out of this and Pearl Jam "ten" which was released just 3 days short of a month prior. Right in the middle of them both, two weeks after Pearl Jam and two weeks before RCHP's release...... Nirvana. Late 1991 and all of 1992 could not have been better planned. We may never see such a cluster trio of epic music again.

[cullenequipment]

@fuckingsob Don't forget Metallica Black album and GNR illusion 1+2. Different genres but geez 1991, 1992 had some killer music!

Beck, REM, The Cult, Ministry, Iggy Pop, Black Crowes, Faith no more. All had the best albums of their careers in 91+92

[RHCPFreaklol]

@cullenequipment Dude, you forgot fucking Nevermind by Nirvana!

[cullenequipment]

@RHCPFreaklol I can't believe I forgot to say Nirvana? Shit I was even listening to Bleach today!!!

[Andrewthegreathobo]

@RHCPFreaklol how can he forget nevermind thats one of the best albums ever

[Ciabaja]

@RHCPFreaklol fuck nirvana !nirvana is faggy

[RHCPFreaklol]

@Ciabaja Fuck you, you dickface, cocksucking fagget.You suck fucking dick all damn day. Kurt Cobain was one of the most influential people ever! All you do probably is set around all day and watch nirvana videos and say "I hate Nirvana, they suck ass" you fucking fagget. Don't comment on Nirvana videos or mine if you have something bad to say about Kurt or Nirvana. Just fuck off.

[Seanyboy225]

@RHCPFreaklol /Facepalm... sorry dude

[RHCPFreaklol]

@Seanyboy225 About what?

[Seanyboy225]

@RHCPFreaklol About being trolled.

W/e thx for uploading these awesome songs.

[DinoRider831]

@RHCPFreaklol dude you should check out the blue scholars real underground hip hop NOT mainstream. oH ps. nice video and song.

[LifePr0]

@RHCPFreaklol too right! nirvana are quality as are chilis! thank you very much for uploading ignore the haters they clearly know nothing about music, back to their shitty kanye west they should go!x

[RHCPFreaklol]

@LifePr0 Yeah, or fucking Manly Gaga. LOL

[sciencemath777]

@RHCPFreaklol Agreed pop and hip hop culture are the demise of intelligence, ethics, and lets not forget music. We should just let monkeys take over, ignorance would expand at a much slower rate. I came from East St. louis and I don't feel the need to walk around like an illiterate crackhead.

[tyler199580]

@LifePr0 nirvana is awful. i'm glad kurt cobain is dead. you're a fool.

[charlieandchocolat]

@tyler199580

u obviusly have the musical taste of 50 cent (none at all)

u fucking crackhead cunt

rot in hell

peace and love :) (to all who deserve it)

[DinoRider831]

@charlieandchocolat  haha lol nice comment.

[DinoRider831]

@tyler199580 your a terrible person for being happy that another human being died.

Your sick. and nirvana wasn't the best band but its good. and how can you say your happy hes dead when you didn't even know him?

don't judge before knowing, thats your ignorence-Abe Lincoln

[RHCPFreaklol]

@tyler199580 Wow, you're such a dick it's unbelievable. Nirvana was, arguably the best band of the nineties. Although I prefer RHCP more then Nirvana, they could be named the best band of the nineties.

[rockshow256]

@tyler199580

Go suck cow dick. Nigger

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

@rockshow256

lol you sure told him nigga

[RiideCymbal]

[Smokinjoewhite]

[hufreak1]

[SuperTugz]

The Peppers held a contest a few years back and the winner was able to select any song they wanted to be played at an upcoming show. The contest winner picked this song, and before they played, the Peppers mentioned that the request took them by surprise because hadn't played this song live since the early 90's. lol

[getback4444]

@SuperTugz I remember seeing that video on YouTube about a year ago. There should still be a live version of this floating around here somewhere.

[terrapin1979]

[zeldanerd22]

i love this songso much u are all alone can i get lovin from can i get alittle bit of that donda do or somethin like tht lol

[scarletvonalisha]

he knows I used the last line of bass?

4:22 to 5:24 would be an fletess or effect because at live music in that it uses the modelus flea bass and not fletess!

can get me out of this doubt?

[zosoxolo22]

maybe in the future the dictionaries will be updateded so when i look up for the words funk and sex this song will be the meaning of these words lol

[struvita]

tem uma meia pendurada ali ó. hahahaha

[struvita]

sabia que nãe era isso...hehehehê

[i2oo]

I learnt how to drum by using this album. it has everything, off beat hi-hat, double hat work, irregular counting - absolute effin' masterpiece.

[pearldrummer250]

@i2oo true that, man! I didn't learn drums from this album, this and Mother's Milk formed my general style of playing. I still love drumming to Sir Psycho Sexy!

[RichSaysRawr]

AHHH I LOVE FLEA

[Italblessings]

Thanks for uploading these. Fresh!

[marinowisch]

John, Slovak died in 88 and John took over in 88'. John has done every album from Mothers Milk except for One Hot Minute which Dave Navarro did.
