- (Re-uploaded without overmodulation) Music Video with Hillel Slovak (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Alain Johannes. WARNING: strobe lights. From interview: • Interview with Hillel ...
#HillelSlovak #AlainJohannes
We opened for What Is This (with The Bone Daddy's and Fishbone headlining) with my band InsectAffect; plus, I went to see them at least 3 times live, (at The Music Machine on Pico Blvd, and other clubs) and Flea not only played bass, but also played trumpet on their best song, Get Off The Floor. I wish that video was still around with Flea wearing a dress and flopping about on the train tracks. Alain and the rest of the band was so wicked, and much better than the RHCP, and we were so bummed when What Is This split.
In this song, he's saying "I still have my mind", but reversed. We would dance and jump around in a sweaty pogo mess all show. Killa band. Hillel and Jack Irons were great too. They were like punk jazz fusion. Unique.
These are days of reflexion, My head is a drum, so many songs that still ring through the chasm of my skull.
Thanks for posting What Is This.
This song is pretty awesome. Love the rhythm and driving beat. Love to Hillel RIP.
Remarkable story behind these guys. Incredible
This is completely genre and i am sorry that this group could not continue with some strange and tragic circumstances
Damn i huge fan of Hillel and Alain until this morning i didnt know they used to play together!!!!Jack Irons on drums,lucky days very unique project
Great quality! RIP Hillel !
Alain really did have some talent going back all Tru the year's
the good ol' days of music videos!
Alain Johannes, Hilel Slovak, Jack Irons and a bass player.
Mind My Have Still I .... that's the correct name of the song.
Right; it's "I Still Have My Mind" backwards, intentionally. it's amazing the video show graphics person got it so incorrect.
Musically this anticipates the later sound of Eleven (also Alain's band, also with Jack Irons). Cool song. Good to see Hillel alive.
This tune is fucking awesome!
That's Hillel Slovak from the Chili Peppers.
And rhcp 83, 86-88 drummer jack irons
James Bowers
Jack Irons is garbage anyways. Cliff was miles better.
Cliff hasn't done too bad since rhcp got rid of him either, he's a real prolific film scorer
+James Bowers Cliff Martinez was in The Weirdos (punk rock) and Captain Beefheart (progressive).
Justin Brule Hillel and the drummer *Jack Irons* the last rejoined to RHCP at the 3rd album "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan". *Curious fact* : The singer Alan Johannes is the son of a 60s singer *from Chile* (South America) Danny Chilean.
Freakin sweet
I own the 45 !!
Who's the skinny, sweaty man in the green suit?
Legend hillel he made John in some way shape or form then jf became his own let's all love and thank hillel with out him rhcp would not have been props flea Chad josh Anthony jack irons xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x
The video isn't very good. But, this song, turned up really loud? It's great. It stuck in my head for all these years. I couldn't remember the band, or the song title. Then recently, an old friend gave me a box of records. This was in there.
This was Flea's, of Chili Peppers fame, first band. He was a horn player before this. He must have some natural talent. Cause he just started playing bass here with these guys
1st off this music video is amazing and way ahead of its time and chalk full of creativity. 2nd off this is not even fleas band Hillel asked flea to play bass for him the first time and he had two bands, one with flea and Anthony, and WIT
If you don't know, this was the first video of Wayne Isham, but it never figures in his resume. Another fact, Alain Johannes taught to Flea to play bass at Hillel house for a battle of bands during 3 months. You can Alain's career is really awesome, no matter he isn't public famous.
I guess they just didn't care about epilepsy back in the 80's.
ooo I'm gonna have a wonderful seizure
This sounds like old videogame music. Is that good?
Dang, it looks and feels like the low budget 80's "rock" that was coming out of New Zealand at the time.
Alex Paulsen like who??
Most of the bands signed to Flying Nun. Perfect example would be The Clean - Tally Ho.
It's funny you say that, I immediately thought it looked and sounded like something Australia from the same time. Spot on
I could totally see some Split Enz similarities
@@themoops811 In parts it sort of sounds like Mondo Rock's "Primitive Love Rites" w/the volume turned down to 1
Pretty much sounds like queen of stone ages i guess somehow, they are inspired by this band
Alain worked with Them as far as i know
Ah, the original Chili’s 🌶️.
The RHCP already existed before this.
@@TheStompboxer No they didn’t. Anthony stated in his book that he would come on stage after Anthem (What is This?) and RAO random words with Hillel, Michael & Jack.
@@Soul_Removal There’s an interview with Alain and Hillel about this very video (which led me here) where Hillel talks about having left RHCP because it was tough doing both. They shared members, but Keidis was never in WIT, and they were two different bands.
I didn’t say RHCP existed before WIT; I said they existed before “this,” meaning the video we’re commenting on.
@@TheStompboxer I never stated Anthony was in WIT? either. Lol Yes, most people are aware they where 2 different bands at the time, but that doesn’t neglect the fact that Anthony would come up & jam with WIT after their setlist was over. Which is very cool. I’m just glad that Hillel came back to the Chili’s so we could get all of these awesome songs. If only he was still alive who knows what’s songs/albums would’ve been made.
@@Soul_Removal “The original” lineup of a band isn’t usually a completely different band that existed at the same time. Of course I know the connection between the two; that’s the only reason anybody really remembers WIT at this point, though I’m sure there are a handful of exceptions.
Se nota que Hillel quería volver con los Peppers
Who is the bassist?
Chris Hutchinson
The kinks
This is horrible
this sucks...the guitars sound horrid, the whole track sounds terrible. no bite whatsoever. like it was recorded through a 50 buck amp. the only cool thing is right at the beginning when you actually hear a guitar feedbacking. rest of it is unlistenable. UNLISTENABLE!!!! put a little overdrive on it ffs
you sucks
Ok.
Also, no u.
Not everything has to be distorted and loud. And the reason it sounds like that is bc it’s a low quality video but the music is still amazing. You’re an ignorant prick.
IKR, let's just hear an overdrive pedal, and nothing else. That is what we all really want! 🤡
