  • "Under the Bridge" is a song by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was released as the second single from their fifth studio album, "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," in 1992. The song was written by the band members Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante, and Chad Smith.
    "Under the Bridge" is a heartfelt and introspective song that reflects lead vocalist Anthony Kiedis' struggle with addiction and feelings of loneliness. The lyrics describe his experiences and emotions while living in Los Angeles, particularly focusing on his connection to a specific location, which was a bridge over the Los Angeles River. Kiedis expresses a sense of isolation, but also finds solace and a sense of belonging in music.
    The song became a major hit for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. It is widely regarded as one of their signature songs and has been praised for its poignant lyrics, melodic composition, and emotional delivery. "Under the Bridge" remains a staple of the band's live performances and continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.

    The lyrics of this song was in Anthony Kiedis journal. It was in a poem about his drug addiction. I think the producer Rick Rubin convinced him to make it a song. “Soul to Squeeze” is another good ballad

    They have always been labeled alternative rock. Always hear punk, rap, rock..little bit of everything. Blood Sugar Sex Magic was/is a classic album and in my top 10 formative eras for me.

    The lyrics tell of Anthony's loneliness when he was on drugs and his race is towards freedom from drugs. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹

    HUGE hit back in the day. This song alone was probably enough to buy them all mansions. Great band from the 90s. Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik one of their best.

    My favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers would be Scar Tissue. But Under the Bridge is great too, video included. It may be shallow but it doesn't hurt that here the lead singer Anthony Kiedis looks as good as he sounds in it. Another song you might want to react to (besides Scar Tissue) could be "Higher Ground" a cover that the Chilis did of the old Stevie Wonder song.

    This song, more than any other, reminds me of the 90s. I hear it on the radio, and suddenly, I'm back in high school, reading a X-Men comic, wondering if I can use the plot for a Dungeons & Dragons game.

    Producer Rick Rubin regularly visited singer Anthony Kiedis to review his new material. He found a poem titled "Under the Bridge" in Kiedis's notebook and took an interest in the poignant lyrics. Rubin suggested that Kiedis show it to the rest of the band. Anthony wrote the poem while reflecting on loneliness and the struggles of being clean from drugs (Wiki). 😊

    Grunge was a regional thing, that included a wide range of bands out of the Pacific Northwest that played loud, heavy, punk- inspired music - it was not strictly a style of music. Chili Peppers were from Los Angeles.

    Haven't heard this since I went out with the (English) ex- girlfriend of a Red Hot Chili Pepper (can't rememebr which one) and she played this but I was into classical music then. Now of course I recognise this perfectly well. And it's good.

    They were not grunge! I remember them being considered: Alternative/ Punk/Rock. I only know because I was there! l also believe, due to all the new sounds of the 90s, no one really knew what to call stuff. I believe different radio stations around the US may have called it differently, due to different locations calling it different names. Ultimately, I believe it was their fans that properly named them. Ask them!

    Not Grunge. The Peppers were releasing albums in the early to mid 80's and had some commercial success by the late 80's before Grunge came on the scene. Their musical genre would be a combination of Funk Rock, Rap Rock and Funk Metal.

    This song became a surprise hit right before the FREAKING
    "RODNEY KING RIOTS IN L.A" So I don't think back FONDLY ON 1992 even though I love grunge and alternative.

  • @Sunshineandhydrangeas

    More RHCP would be good. Much like Eddie V. of Pearl Jam, we really didn’t care that we couldn’t understand what he was actually saying. His voice was just another instrument. My favorite RHCP somg is “Snow (Hey, Oh)” because I love the guitar work. Now, as far as grunge goes….when I think of grunge, I think Alice in Chains. They were my favorite and their Dirt album was a masterpiece. Soundgarden was a close second for me.
