Check out the 70s amigo :) From Aerosmith to Zeppelin on the rock side ...and a ton of classic R&B, funk, disco, etc. Plus, a zillion great One Hit Wonders.
I was a conscript in the army in 1993 driving an APC where we could pick up the local radio station on the intercom playing this song several times a day. Listening to this song while barrelling down the road with a heavy machine gun on the roof was quite the experience.
The drummer is Cindy Blackman Santana (wasn’t his wife then, though), quite an accomplished drummer. Agreed, she’s great both when it comes to looks and her performance. Actually, the rest you mentioned is also superb. :)

Love this song! I’m 72 years old but this makes me feel like a teenager again! I just wish someone…. Anyone in the video would smile! They’re all trying to look so aloof and cool that they don’t look like they’re having fun. And that’s a FUN song! Still love it, though. Lenny’s awesome.
It's an interesting observation actually. The video tries to recreate a 70ies vibe, they got the Rock n' Roll right but forgot about the Peace and Love.
I am 80 years old and loved this tune and Lenny Kravitz from day one. I may be getting senile and eyesight not as good as back in the day.....but there is nothing wrong with my HEARING!!! I Went straight out and bought this c.d. which I still have. I hope many more generations will love it as much as I still do!!! ROCK ON, LENNIE!!!🎉
Lenny Kravitz has a gift. He can look at your instrument and make it sing for you like a five dollar hookah. Atlanta. Early 2000s. Open Mic somewhere near Piedmont. I watched him do it. It was my Fender Bullet he tuned with a stare. True. Effing. Story. Not a paid spokesperson. I was playing bass for Madame CJ...
Epic? I mean, it's effective, sure. Compliments the song. But as a drummer myself, there is nothing epic about it. It's a very simple four to the floor with very basic fills. My 8-year-old son could do it and he's only been drumming a few months.
Man, one thing I miss about the 90's, everybody was more open with each other, we all loved music and openly jammed out, didn't feel divided by bullshit, always meeting new people and having fun. Hard to explain how iconic and popular this song was when it came out. It blew up the airwaves, and the video was also legendary with its energy....it's a real rock video, showcasing the incredible talent in the group, and those crazy rockers jumping levels at the end - also legendary!
You didn't live the same 90's I did, mine was a school of hard knock where I litterally had to fight for my life because I was not like others; I'm on the autism spectrum. Harassment was daily and physical violence a few times a month. My school was a battlefield between metal and rap kids and they would beat each others with their skateboards and wallet chains just because they liked different music. It was brutal and anything but open.
Those are some powerful rose coloured lenses you’re wearing. The 90’s were extremely cliquey when it came to music. Gen X amd the alternative scene especially. The grunge fans mostly hated anything with a synthesizer and a million other things like that. I always loved most kinds of music though! Wish I could go back with who I am now.
Best Lenny song, yes! The riffs, the metronome drummer, the energy, the SOUND! Best listened to on headphones or a legit hi-fi system with the speakers far apart. If you've never done either, treat yourself. It's a trip! Loved this since the first time I heard it in my Dad's FC Rx7. He cranked it up, and redlined the rotary. Now I'm 40 and still cranking this song!
Hearing Lenny Kravitz talk about it, it was just a jam at the studio that came together as a song at the last minute. At the time even they didn't know how fire it really was.
R u gonna light this shyt with a lantern for a G coming from a G I did go on to wander Sorry not a man speaking from woman undertone But we do love all In yours fam ❤️
At a time when classic hard rock/blues rock, tasteful guitar solos and Flying V's etc weren't popular, Lenny and his team come out with this. It was what classic rock fans needed in a landscape of grunge and alternative rock. I've always been more into metal but this song always has me reaching for my guitar and banging a few licks from it. The lead guitarist with Lenny is absolutely super.
I'd agree with that. Great comment! The guitars are super clear! The bass also sounds great and it's just a well recorded song. I can't get over the guitar lead sound myself...the air waves compress and expand before his solo and his effects are just super subtle but evidently clear...it just takes each step and they got it right in letting it transition like it sounds as opposed to trying to smooth out the effects turning on and up. It sounds amazing! The drums too. Sounds like it was recorded in a high end music store after the instruments were tuned by a sound guy professionally...but..hey..who knows..if these payers are who they appear to be..it could just be them but..who knows...the studio or the stage..things can be deceptively good or bad...and when tuned electronically..well..you can bring up some real quality sounds..I really like this song alot and the guitarists got some respect here...they made these instruments sound amazing and real! That's really cool...and it was really different at the time of release as well so...very cool song and video and definitly a song for the future and today. When the hell was yesterday? I dunno but theres a middle and 2 futures...one with the MC5 velevelt underground beef heart zappa and all kinds of amazing music and another with Kravitz sound garden Metallica etc...theres always these middle grounds...the past becomes the future because it really belongs there...nothing can get old..it can only be cool and get handled again and again..thats whats what. I hope it all comes around again.

Lenny! He may not be the greatest guitar player of all time. In fact he doesn’t even come close. BUT he’s got to be one of the greatest showman’s/ entertainer out their. Great, great video. Well produced and righteousness through and through. Just kicked a 6 day Fentanyl withdrawal. For the first time in over 23 years I’m completely drug free.

Lenny Kravitz is named in memory of his Uncle, PFC Leonard Kravitz of the US Army, who is a posthumous recipient of the Medal of Honor(The US military's highest honor for valor in combat) for actions near Yangpyong Korea March 6-7th 1951.
This song is what made this Lil black girl realize and embrace her deeply eclectic taste in music. Before discovering Lenny I was ashamed that i liked all types of music because I was teased for it. But after this song & video (because a sista w/ a fro like that killing the drums...COME ON!!) I knew that I was just a normal person with a highly seasoned taste in music and I felt sorry 4 those who were pigeonheld to one type of music😊
I have never understood that when people say some of his songs sound like Jimi Hendrix they are saying it like it's a bad thing or something. I think that's kind of awesome. Who better to sound like?
Jimi hendrix changed guitar playing forever He created so many new techniques that are used so frequently in guitar playing today You could say he is like Shakespeare for guitar playing
+David Glasspool To bring back the early 70s in the very 90s, when everyone was mad about Nirvana and all the Grunge thing, THAT was awesome!! And also a good reason this tune stands the test of time.
As a massive Hendrix fan, I have to say this is the only person who comes close in all respects - showmanship, technical ability and most importantly, the emotion. This song is our modern Voodoo Child.
@@shumbachidawo2176 I started to say.....93.....it's been 27 years but I still cannot stop bobbing my head and playing air guitar every time I hear this.....that's when you know it's something special. The video being as f'n awesome as it is.....helps too. I went out and bought this single cassette back in the day......still have it.
I don't think it's a mistake the rhythm guitarist looks just like Noel Redding. They are definitely channeling the Jimmy Hendrix experience.....and succeeding. I love it!
I was 23, and I used to play this song in my 85 Prelude to 11. Styling and profile with a Blaupunkt stereo an tinted windows with the top down. 1993, what a great year!
Yessssss the Lenny Kravitz unbeatable rocker of those golden days of music,,,i remember my college days when I used to listen this rock,,it sends a magnetic spark in the body to ignite all the music senses,,,, incredibly rocking🎉🎉
I will never forget my initial 16yr old reaction to this video...it was along the lines of "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!" This track, and this album...it dropped at just the right time. There was a lot of nostalgia for the late 60's to the early 80's, at that time (93). But in particular, from say 87/88-97/98, the 'sixties' becomes revisited by many artists, and even in the case of the developing house/techno scene, once the Brits get ahold of it, it literally becomes the second incarnation of the 'Summer of Love'. The 'seventies' show up in guitar riffs, Dazed & Confused and Boogie Nights. All that to say, that when Kravitz releases this, 'Grunge' is THE thing. Hip-Hop is THE thing. This single drops, and it's got a beat....it's got a riff...it sounds like rock...it sounds like funk...it sounds retro...it sounds new. It sounds AMAZING. I met him (along with 49 others, lol) at a record signing promotion, and he just oozed Big Dick Energy. Like, even though he was very reserved and cool, you still got this impressive Alpha presence, from him. My 27 seconds with him was sincerely a moment I'll never forget.
I play this song every once in a while as I enjoy it so much. (I love the high-energy, the visuals, and the effort Lenny and the rest of the band puts into this music.)
This is just the perfect rock song; great lyrics, amazing guitars, that voice, hell I dig the drum riffs. Even the progression is badass. Played this at work a week ago and everyone, EVERYONE, had their head bouncing. The power of a badass artist on a badass song.
September 1994 Voodoo Lounge Tour, Lenny opened up for the Rolling Stones at Carter Finley Stadium, Raleigh NC. I worked there for three days setting up different areas for crew and bands. Snooker table, old stand up Pac Man machines, and the food for catering 🧡 Lenny brought a friend all dressed up as an Indian Princess. Beautiful. I'll never forget.

30 years later and this looks and sounds fresh as ever. Timeless.
Yo man no one asked you for that math. Ouch! lol
And Lenny himself hasnt aged a bit
The visuals of Lenny and Cindy are stunning, his wildness, and her cool but out of control drumming, perfection.
This song would come on MTV and we'd lose our shit. The perfect blend of R&B, fashion and straight up rock & roll.
Say it again for the folks in the back!
🥰🔥 It gets EVEN BETTER over time I have found from the old MTV days 🔥
@@DivineInspirationsClothing Have you heard the Tom Jones version? While not better, it's awfully good too!
@@jasonprovenciowriter NO...I havent!!! You mean THE "Tom Jones"??? From the 70s??? 🥰😲
That drummer. Man, in my 20's jumping out of planes I thought I would live forever
Thanks to Lenny Kravitz and the band for giving us this song!❤️🎶
the modern jimmi hendrix
I’m Japanese high school student I love this song.
I am of Japan also
me tooooo!!1

Cool...
Love it , so much energy
Lenny Kravitz is named in memory of his Uncle, PFC Leonard Kravitz of the US Army, who is a posthumous recipient of the Medal of Honor(The US military's highest honor for valor in combat) for actions near Yangpyong Korea March 6-7th 1951.
Love his music
One artist that should continue rocking this way permanently.
Simultaneously ahead and behind it's time!
Exactly!
I'm 56 and still rocking this song! Best song ever!!!!!
This song is what made this Lil black girl realize and embrace her deeply eclectic taste in music. Before discovering Lenny I was ashamed that i liked all types of music because I was teased for it. But after this song & video (because a sista w/ a fro like that killing the drums...COME ON!!) I knew that I was just a normal person with a highly seasoned taste in music and I felt sorry 4 those who were pigeonheld to one type of music😊
"Jjust a normal person with a highly seasoned taste in music"... AGREE !!!
This song introduced me to Lenny years ago...loved him since then.
As a drummer, this is a must play on the drums... pure fkn joy!
Literally one of the best guitar licks in the history of the genre. Amazing song from an amazing artist.
The guitarist gets all the credit for the sound of the song, but the bassist is clearly the best part of the piece 🤘🏿
2023 and I still can’t stop listening to this… much love to Lenny❤ tysm for such a great song
Happy 60th birthday, Lenny!
He’s 60? WTF? He’s still THAT GORGEOUS at 60?!? 😳🤯
@@TheeAntiChris Absolutely 😉❤❤❤😍😎thanks Lenny you got it always darly 🤩
He was born long ago
@@fairrodthecapacitor omg it's the first line of the song. Best reply ever
@@philkellr You are welcome! Thx you!
I have never understood that when people say some of his songs sound like Jimi Hendrix they are saying it like it's a bad thing or something. I think that's kind of awesome. Who better to sound like?
Its good to see those who bring the Jimmy Hendrix culture back.
Jimi hendrix changed guitar playing forever
He created so many new techniques that are used so frequently in guitar playing today
You could say he is like Shakespeare for guitar playing
+David Glasspool Sound like Radomir Mihajlovic Tocak
+David Glasspool To bring back the early 70s in the very 90s, when everyone was mad about Nirvana and all the Grunge thing, THAT was awesome!! And also a good reason this tune stands the test of time.
+StripyJACKSON5 Him and Eddie Van Halen
This video is ageless. I been dancing to this video for decades and people will be dancing to it for decades after I am gone. Lenny you the man❤❤❤❤
The drummer is simply amazing!
Thanks 😂
lol from a musicians view band was pieced togather amateurs..... with a Gifted vocal.....
@@TaleOfSeraph Drummer is Cindy Blackman. You have a trump like inferiority complex. Massive.
Cindy Blackman Santana
She didn't actually play the drums on this track on the album.
As a massive Hendrix fan, I have to say this is the only person who comes close in all respects - showmanship, technical ability and most importantly, the emotion. This song is our modern Voodoo Child.
That’s actually a great comparison
I couldn't agree with you more.
It’s 2020, still can feel 70’s music in soul
I can dig it !
Dis song is from is 1993 but i agree wit u brother
@@shumbachidawo2176 I started to say.....93.....it's been 27 years but I still cannot stop bobbing my head and playing air guitar every time I hear this.....that's when you know it's something special. The video being as f'n awesome as it is.....helps too. I went out and bought this single cassette back in the day......still have it.
It's more crazier when this came out, 1993, which couldn't be farther from a retro revival
It is a Soul music
Over 30 years later, still 11/10 on the cool scale.
Released 25 years ago today. February 22 1993. Awesome !!!
Drew Barrymore's 18th birthday!!
1993 have the best songs of all times!.
This Song still Rock's
Most overlooked song of the entire 90’s decade. Timeless riff and hook.
Exactly
The drummer is a beast!
She sure is!!! That's Carlos Santana''s wife!!👍
should see my girl @mo_drumming knock this song out! :-)
So is the bassplayer, not to mention Lenny himself 🔥
When I was in college that guitarist TO ME WAS THE COOLEST DUDE IVE EVER SEEN... he's basically SIDE SHOW BOB, GUITAR HERO.
Cindy Blackman Santana is a KILLER drummer!
Totally, she has a crazy amount of swing, and of course rhythm 🤘
Chills. I played this for my Daughter. I played lead and said u should play drums. One day I hope
She's so badass
Absolutely she was trained by the best drummer ever who was Art Blakey that was Miles Davis drummer. ❤️
Yes
The video that made me go 'wow shit I need to learn guitar'.
The riff is easy, anyways
+cgavin1 this song is harder to play than it looks though, trust me ive learned from experience XD
Fuck guitars, listen to that bass
TotallyNotZoid haha love that response dont play bass but ye its great
Me too, I never followed through on it tho
I don't think it's a mistake the rhythm guitarist looks just like Noel Redding. They are definitely channeling the Jimmy Hendrix experience.....and succeeding. I love it!
Damn!! You're right. I've watched this video a thousand times and never noticed the resemblance.
Beck’s bass player definitely had a hella Afro going on in the 90’s and eeearly 2000s do check out some of those live performances
This is where I came to Lenny Kravitz's music, back in the 90's when I was a kid.
My kid sister sang the refrain, neighbor kids were on shock !
I was 23, and I used to play this song in my 85 Prelude to 11. Styling and profile with a Blaupunkt stereo an tinted windows with the top down. 1993, what a great year!
2025 is so fucking impatient. It is already calling. It wants this kind of music back
I fell You brou
Hell yeah, this is badass rock and roll
Great comment...it Should be
the way rock should be... we need it back !!
So do I.....Priceless
It is a CRIME this song doesn’t have a BILLION views.
No That'd be the Crime
Song is classic. It wil live without views. Who care about? Simple
Assuaged minds always wilt when it counts 😮😂

@@amycarter8497 with 19 OD's I came back from the DEAD in 5 hours and....I read here a folowing ALSO...hah
Gives me a very 60s rock vibe.
The guitar work is a masterpiece of music
This song reminds me of a simpler time when I was growing up, it's still not too late to get it all back together.
Cool things in this video:
-The guitar riffs
-Hot AF female drummer
-that red pantsuit
-trippy ceiling lighting
And of course the entire song!!!
And that thumping bass line.
@@ScrivenerofDoomExactly, that mf hypnotizing bass line, specially after 2:23 🤤
Yessssss the Lenny Kravitz unbeatable rocker of those golden days of music,,,i remember my college days when I used to listen this rock,,it sends a magnetic spark in the body to ignite all the music senses,,,, incredibly rocking🎉🎉
Imagine being one of the extras in the background of this. One of the greatest music videos ever
Agreed.
This is one of the greatest music videos ever made and captures the vibe of America in the 90s.
This is my favorite all time Lenny Kravitz song. I remember back in the 90's with the big floor speakers and big screen TV blasting this song. EPIC
The energy is outstanding...Simple but drive you through the wall...Takes me every time
And again I have come to say Cindy Blackman's drumming kicks ass and moves this along nicely.
Hell yeah
@P J Pachasa Jr WELL SAID.
ask her for a date ....BE THE MAN FOR A CHANGE.....chicken
Sadly, it isn't Cindy on the actual recording. That said, I got a crisp high five that says she still beat the hell out of those drums in the video
I will never forget my initial 16yr old reaction to this video...it was along the lines of "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!"
This track, and this album...it dropped at just the right time. There was a lot of nostalgia for the late 60's to the early 80's, at that time (93). But in particular, from say 87/88-97/98, the 'sixties' becomes revisited by many artists, and even in the case of the developing house/techno scene, once the Brits get ahold of it, it literally becomes the second incarnation of the 'Summer of Love'. The 'seventies' show up in guitar riffs, Dazed & Confused and Boogie Nights.
All that to say, that when Kravitz releases this, 'Grunge' is THE thing. Hip-Hop is THE thing. This single drops, and it's got a beat....it's got a riff...it sounds like rock...it sounds like funk...it sounds retro...it sounds new. It sounds AMAZING.
I met him (along with 49 others, lol) at a record signing promotion, and he just oozed Big Dick Energy. Like, even though he was very reserved and cool, you still got this impressive Alpha presence, from him. My 27 seconds with him was sincerely a moment I'll never forget.
It's 2022 and I'm still in love with that drummer!
This song still rocks over 30 years later, and solidified Lenny Kravitz as one of the coolest men on the planet.
I play this song every once in a while as I enjoy it so much.
(I love the high-energy, the visuals, and the effort Lenny and the rest of the band puts into this music.)
I always liked the female drummer.
This song is pure energy and powerful
This is just the perfect rock song; great lyrics, amazing guitars, that voice, hell I dig the drum riffs. Even the progression is badass. Played this at work a week ago and everyone, EVERYONE, had their head bouncing. The power of a badass artist on a badass song.
September 1994 Voodoo Lounge Tour, Lenny opened up for the Rolling Stones at Carter Finley Stadium, Raleigh NC. I worked there for three days setting up different areas for crew and bands. Snooker table, old stand up Pac Man machines, and the food for catering 🧡 Lenny brought a friend all dressed up as an Indian Princess. Beautiful. I'll never forget.
The lady on the drums is fantastic!
Cindy Blackman. She's awesome.
Carlos Santanas wife
@@mattfleming4953 Thanks. I did not know this. I think she is great. I also love Santana's music and have done so for decades
