      That's why I love the Chili Peppers. They're all like that. John Frusciante is a virtuoso, but he allows plenty of room for Flea to shine through. Many bands you can't even hear the bass. Flea, John, and Chad are all world-class, but they have such phenomenal chemistry.

    • @stridersongs
      @stridersongs 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      I think it‘s key to the Chili‘s success. Kiedis is not a proper singer - some may say he‘s a terrible singer but he has that SOMETHING in hid delivery that connects - and with ‚Under the bridge‘ that pretty much made them superstars. There are two Hendrix outtakes from the ‚Blood Sugar‘ album and Kiedis totally nails Jimi‘s vocals where most ‚proper‘ singers just sound off and forced when trying to cover Hendrix.

    To some of the comments out there: I'm thinking he hasn't heard the original version in years. Not like, We're all used to. Those drum parts are really burnt in our minds, wether we can play them, or, not. Especially after hearing them, tons of times, since 1991.

    • @johndoh5182
      @johndoh5182 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      I'm thinking every time he gets on the stage he's playing however he feels like playing, knowing it's his job to keep time, and provide his flair while not getting in the way of others.
      He's a great drummer and this stuff just flows out of him and I can see that whenever he performs.
      So the real question is has he ever played it like he did when recording the song since then? I certainly don't think he tries to or even cares to try. I think he wants to maintain the feel of the original recording and that's it, so I think the best way to say it, maintain the feel, but also play how you feel at the moment. To me that's how it seems he plays and it's always great because he's a great drummer with natural feel.

    there was this summer camp i used to go as a kid 13-15 years ago and this song was something like our anthem back then, woah man this bring back so many memories to all those people i met back then, all those nighs we cried with this song. Cheers lads to all of you, and to RHCP for making such a good track.

    My favorite band, one of my 2 favorite songs by them - a legend Chad Smith just comes to drumeo and plays all the classics - a dream come true for me and 1000s of others :) Thank you to everyone involved, i will definitely rewatch this in the future, just as i always do with RHCP videos)

      @ivan_off 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @tranullius6087As you said - to each his own. I don't think there's right or wrong choice. I just fell in love with the band from the very 1st listen, so i consider myself a huge fan, started listening to them ~ at an age of 10, and i'm 31 now, so yes, technically their 80s stuff is not something i heard at the time it came out. But that said my favorite album is BSSM, which, still came out in 1991 before i was born :) i'm definitely NOT someone who "judges" RHCP fans if they're enjoying mostly more recent albums - i think there are amazing songs in all of their releases, and i am also happy i got to see them perform live and they always play songs from different eras in each of their shows - which to me says that they themselves are proud of everything they put out there, not only some specific albums/songs

    My God this guy is talented - and on more than just the drums. It was 30 years ago during the NHL lockout that we sat front-row behind the team bench at the Great Western Forum for a celebrity charity hockey game. While chicks were literally climbing over us trying to get at Jason Priestly on the other side of the glass, Chad was in goal keeping Dave Coulier frustrated.
    Chad does it all.

    This goes to show how difficult it is being a high performing musician, just like a sports man. It's really hard to be in top performance shape consistently over the years, especially with instruments that require some degree of physical strength such as drums. Much respect for Chad Smith and all the oldschool drummers that are still pushing their boundaries.
