Funky Monks - Blood Sugar Sex Magik

A clip of the Midwest's only RHCP tribute performing at a Kappa Sigma / Sigma Chi fraternity party at Hampden-Sydney College, VA. Unfortunately, the only audio available to accompany this video was from the camera's microphone, so it isn't the best...but you get the idea.

Loved it, but playing rhcp with a les paul?? Wip out that 3-tone sunburst strat son!

[jefflea]

Agreed, that was almost 4 yrs ago and probably the only show he ever played with the Les Paul. He's been using a Strat or Tele for everything since then.

Is this for the people who cant afford "the real deal"?

[jefflea]

It's for anyone that enjoys the music of RHCP.

The real deal is absolutely 100 times better than we'll ever be, but then again I don't think RHCP would play at small clubs and fraternity parties either. We're the next best option.

[jefflea]

Been there done that - we've all had original bands in the past, worked really hard at it, but we've reached a point in our lives where we just don't have enough time to do both. The RHCP tribute is a fun and different challenge and we've found there to be a demand for it, especially when we take the show on the road.

Thanks for checking us out, maybe we'll see you someday!

Hey carljung13 - sorry we didn't impress with the music on the recording...but I do think we get it right. Maybe it's just a factor of the lousy sound quality from the camera mic.

Check out the mp3s on our website - go to www.funkymonksmusic.com, and click on Tunes. Then click one of the music notes next to a song title to hear what we did on a demo recording in the basement. Yes, there are a few sloppy notes, but it was done "live", and we didn't go back to fix mistakes with overdubs.

hmmm yeah you're right dude, idk lol i made that comment 9 months ago and i do sound like an ass...idk why i said that, sorry man, you did do an amazing job tho, liked it alot now that im listening to it again, my bad man.

but what if its just a bit of fun and your not making much money, its quite an investment to get all the same kit as the band, it would cost the drummer a small fortune because chad uses some incredibley expensive, top range custom pearl equipment. im a drummer so ill only commetn on the drums as ive no idea how much it would cost to accurately imitate the equipment of the other guys.
