Johnny Frush is playing the saddest, most tortured, most beautiful riffs on this song and on this album too. Hats off to the kid who wasn't sure he really wanted to be a rock star. Of all the great guitar solos in rock history this is one of the greatest. It's almost like it's not a solo it's just the whole vibe from this song flowing thru your soul.
This album came about after the band was at a crossroads in terms of their viability and direction and after guitarist Frusciante came back to the band after a long absence, during which he nearly ended his life due to years of hardcore drug abuse. This song is about psychic and bodily damage, alienation, loneliness, and f-ing up one's life in general, but also surviving and finding a place to survey the damage and start over again (or, at least, that's how I see it). A beautiful song and one that speaks to people who have gone through tough times.
This song is a Phoenix rising from the ashes song... This is dedicated to Anthony's father who he wished he could share his pain with but he'd rather share his pain with the birds... But you hear John and flea singing I will share this, as in we are here for you. The visual is a representation of going through life, trauma, bullshit and surviving it, albeit with some scar tissue to show for it
Red Hot Chili Peppers' album 'Californication' in 1999 came off a troubled decade (the 90's) where band members struggled w/ he+++n addiction and guitarist John Frusciante (who left RHCP in 1992) went through a horrible period where he was hooked on the drug after leaving the band... The band hired Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro for their 1995 album 'One hot minute'... but he was out of the band by 1998 after his addictions became a problem... That same year, bassist Flea (and others) finally got John Frusciante into rehab and got him clean from drugs... Then, Frusciante agreed to rejoin RHCP and the band wrote & recorded one of their most successful albums - 'Californication'... A few lyrics on the record were about surviving drug addictions and the chaos that comes w/ them. Anthony Kiedis (vocals) can be rather blunt w/ his lyrics but he does speak very convincingly on a RHCP song like 'Scar tissue'... or 'Otherside'...
The song and video tell everything the band has been through. Deaths (Hillel Slovak,friend River Phoenix) drug addictions (Kiedis and Frusciante) goodbyes and returns (Frusciante)... band with many scars but always alive. I recommend you read Anthony Kiedis' autobiography Scar Tissue. I love rhcp best band in the world.
"Obviously, I don't listen to the RHCP', well there is your first mistake. Edit: the thing I love about the band, besides the music and energy, is the stream of consciousness kind of lyrics that still speak to every one
I always thought it was "with the birds in the shade, it's a lonely view". I interpreted that as giving the middle finger to everything makes it a lonely way to live. Crazy.
Anthony Kiedis' autobiography ,by the same name, has got to be one of the best books I've ever read 🥰 if you're into reading at all, i definitely suggest this book ❤
The chili's have been my favorite band since I was about 3 or 4 years old, because the song under the bridge used to play on MTV constantly in the early 90s. And I'm 32 now.
It was probably how they felt at that point. John Frusciante the guitarist had departed the band, they had 1 record with Dave Navvaro on guitar, it was not very good, then John came back for this album. John had hit rock bottom and was happy to be back, but they still had a lot of scars to get over. At least how I always took it.
En primer lugar es una gran composición, sin ser anglo parlante es un buen intento de analisis de la lirica, para mi gusto la guitarra tiene un protagonismo al mismo nivel de la narrativa que logra el vocalista. Por otra parte la base armonica y ritmica son de gran clase. Por esto no me canso de oirla una y otra vez.
Have you seen the chad smith vs will farrel drum off on jimmy Fallon ?? There's a 6 min version and an 11 min version if you want extra chad smith but that version doesn't have have the epic ending so if you blind react you'll have to do the last minute of the short version to see who wins
If you want more chad I think you will like “these are the ways”. it’s a song from one of the new albums they dropped after John Frusciante (the guitarist) came back in 2020, the ending is very heavy for a rhcp song and imo it’s thanks to his drums.
I presume it's these comments. Just like to see how anyone copes emotionally to the message from the epic drop from The Cost featuring Serj of SOAD fame, El Estepario on point, take a listen to Her Eyes without a tear❤
Californication isn’t my favorite album of theirs - though it’s still phenomenal - but it’s very special and important to me, because it was the first album after John came back, and in 1999 when this came out, we were all just thankful that he was even alive after all he went through.
Just like poem, most songs are not literal. So instead of fixating on whether the words don't make sense or the meaning behind them, just let yourself go and feel the lyrics & the music.
Hey Ray. Will u check out my favorite metal band Fear Factory. I think a good starter song would be Regenerate. Also another band would be Primus. The first song of course has to be Jerry was a racecar driver. Thanks
Anytime you want some really good songa that are deep cuts yet no one knows about, cause i promise no one will recommend them cause they are too lazy to deep dive like a full time job in the music industry, you let me know and i will give you some songs to listen to. Having said that, they will mostly be grunge or pop punk. Possibly, punk, thrash or nu metal related.
You should do a reaction to the band Incubus. They have a great live set, The Morning Views Sessions. The song "Nice to know you" would be a great starter but they have a bunch of great songs to choose from. Hope to see one soon !
Sorry, but usually only those of us that are or have been "affiliated" understand the metaphor of the lyrics.. It's a good thing if the lyrics don't make sense to you..
Kid you are a professional writer. You have an editor or you are your own editor. On a listen through of this take someone should have said "let's do it again". The "Hot Red Chili Peppers"? You're supposed to make this feel real! Get your game on.

"I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl" is a crazy line
I also love the Hot Red Pepper Chilis 😂

Amen. Life has a flavor for those who fight for it that the protected will never know. Life is more precious when you realize you nearly thru it away

I love that you called them the Hot Red Cilli Peppers at the beginning 🤣

Their makeup is like a visual version of the title. The utter smoothness of the guitar leads are the highlight for me.

Haha I just commented about the book! One of the best books I've ever read ❤
This guitar tone is legendarny, also backing vocals in this song are so cool

Crazy.
Lol i had always thought it was "with the burden shared, it's a lonely view" 😂😬🤷♂️
This was a great reaction! Thanks Ray! 😀
I mean, Will Farrell has an entire career outside of playing Chad Smith, so...
Or is Chad Smith playing the character Will Farrell? 😉 Quite the conundrum!
Anthony Kiedis' autobiography ,by the same name, has got to be one of the best books I've ever read 🥰 if you're into reading at all, i definitely suggest this book ❤
From SUCK MY KISS to this smooth track is the evolution of RHCP🤘🏽😎
The chili's have been my favorite band since I was about 3 or 4 years old, because the song under the bridge used to play on MTV constantly in the early 90s. And I'm 32 now.
I can't believe I've never seen the music video. I have very distinct memories of listening to this song in college with friends.
I never thought I'd see a nicer smile than the Bladerunner 2049 chick
Out of all the Red Hot Chilli Peppers songs. That i have listened to this is my favourite.
The lyric is "lonely view and"
My favorite band at last
Please do some Live gigs. You will fall in love😊 By The Way - live at Hyde Park is phenomenal.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an absolutely GOATED band I definitely recommend checking out "Tear Jerker" there is a lot going on with that song.
2:56 original "The hangover" crew lol
RHCP-Don’t Forget Me live Paris.Frusciante is incredible!
Yessss
You should really watch the Dani California videoclip
You'll love that one

@Rayactions I've been a Rhcp fan for a very long time and I still don't know what they say in this song😮😮🤔
I love the mellow sound
I hope you get to Soul to Squeeze one day ❤ I think scar tissue is like the baggage we carry from past experiences maybe?
The HOT RED CHILI PEPPERS! 😂😂😂😂😂
I happen to be wearing my RHCP shirt.

You should listen to wet sand by these
They are not just all injured...every instrument they play is broken :)
They all have....wait for it....scar tissue :)

Here for the reaction. Left because of the reaction..
Yeah, I've also heard the song a lot over the years without making out the lyrics.
viewing? I thought it was just "view"
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s just view, and he sort of rolls it into “and”. “With the birds I share this lonely view, and….”
The albino rhinocerus. Chad Smith!
React to RHCP - Don't Forget Me live (Frusciante is incredible!!)

He’s talking about his drug addiction. I think lonely viewing is him feeling alone .
Screw the lyrics, 5:49 the guitar is the MVP.
Red hot chilli peppers identity song....this song lyrics and the other song....that what chris rock saying😂🎉
I was 22 and injured of a bloody fight I was driving home through sunset this song always reminds of that moment which I cried .

I believe a Red Hot Chili Peppers have songs which aren’t about drugs. I just haven’t found them yet. 😅
