John: *String breaks, keeps jamming*
Axl: *Cancels tour*
Lol
JAJAJAJAJAJAJA
No its not
Hi, Axl! Where's Axl?
😂
Notice how he mirrored the riff he played before the string broke.... Prince said if you make a mistake, play it twice so it looks like you did it on purpose. Pro tip.
yes
That's such a perfect tip 😂
That’s called jazz haha
never heard until now, I’m taking notes
How could he mirror it before it broke? You mean afterwards and similarly?
How to deal with a broken string:
1- Throw a bunch of guitar effects
2- Have a good bass player
XD
3) not playing floyd rose
@@brogoram I felt your comment
I think there is a video out there of vai playing with a broken string with a floating bridge
4) having a good drummer
it also helps to know the fretboard by heart, like definitely does
Flea's strings are made out of Wolverine's leftover adamantium.
Thanos' snap got nothing on flea's slap
And his bones out of minecraft bedrock.
more like his fingertips lol
He also has a digital metronome connected intracranially to his brain
Flea's strings are made out of nickel-plated steel with a special combination of stainless steel and nickel-plate on the low E string 😁
I feel like that's how John and Flea would talk to each other is by soloing in front of each other
it's true. finding someone you can do that with is the best feeling ever
Flea doesn't suck though
Well fleas do suck tho hahaha
@@Dante-xf1mu please don’t tell me you’re implying that John sucks lol
Whats the song pls
John: *breaks strings*
Also John: *Oh no, anyway*
Exactly.
The drummer was doing an absolutely fantastic job keeping everything together
His name's chad
They're all fantastic and pros, flea and John are remarkable so as Chad smith
@@fritz2128 don’t forget to mention anthony’s charisma and energy
That’s actually Will Ferrell

Thanks for the subtitles.

Most guitarists won't realize enough how important bassists are until they're in a band. Whether the bassist plays complex or simple lines, the guitarist will feel empty in the band without them. A bass can have some limited melodic capabilities, but when the guitarist is in need of help incase of a problem, the bassist can help save or maintain the overall groove or music created.
Totally especially with rhcp because they have flea. I don't get to play enough but even just playing with tabs you just notice the huge difference between the song in you head and the single line of meldoy youre playing
Man the bass can have super complex melodic capabilities too. A bass and a guitar are practically the same except the strings are thinker. If you imagine it like building a guitar with a massive neck where the strings start off at the thinnest guitar string and go up to the thickest bass...it wouldn't even take that long to get there and it would be piano like!
Hell the Ox thunderfingers himself rocked that shit as the lead to townsends rythm.
@@sammaloney1746 bass rules!
@@davidkekstroll5836 Hell yeah!
u should told this to metallica during the recording of their 1988 And Justice for all album Jason Newsted was an excellent bassist and he adds powerful clean backup vocals for James
Chad Smith is definitely not getting enough praise here.
Can there ever be enough praise for him, though?
I thought that was Will Ferrell?
Chad may not be the best drummer alive, but he's far and away the most stylish.
does he ever?
Yes
Saw them in ‘89 in a small venue right when John joined the band. They played the whole show in giant diapers. Greatest show of my life.
Lucky lol
Me too was in diapers in 89! But because I was just a newborn baby hehe
Saw them in 2006 for the Stadium Arcadium tour. No nappies, but still a sick show.
Funkadelic wibezz
So that’s why Josh was wearing those pants. He was just paying homage to the band’s past
I love how the bass is turned up
Its the chili peppers. What did u expect. 😂
sounds bad but thats all they have to work with so ig its fine
@@nigel7779 bad?
Nigel bro what ??? Bad????
Bass made this song good bro
For those people who says that the Bass does nothing, you better clean your ears.
Imagine how ridiculous this would sound without the constant bass shredding
If there's a good bassist of course...
Bass is the soul of the band
It's very important for jazz, not so much for pop
Who the fuck is saying the bass does nothing
anybody else notice the humility of kiedis to just sit back and let these guys steal the show for 5 minutes straight? not many front mans are gonna let that fly lol i love this band
Pretty sure this jams are common on rhcp, personally I consider everyone except maybe Chad frontmen of the band
@@mateotierno3780 singer is typically the front man of a band with multiple members and i will not tolerate any chad smith slander in my comments section so beat it punk
Man takes it as his resting time, and can't blame him with the amount of jumping they do the whole show
AK is the luckiest guy in whole world... he has the opportunity to watch every night the two best musicians alive of our lifetime, each in their instruments!
It also serves a chance for kiedis to chill and rest his voice for a moment
This is EPIC band chemistry right here. This is what a band should be!
There's no "what a band should be". A band is whatever you like it to be
@@Poincianaa sure thing!
Yeah Anthony just let them do their thing he wasn't trying to be the center of attention like some other band leads with big egos, not naming any band in particular
@@skater6442 big oof
@@Poincianaa cringe comment. Bothering people over their choice of words when you ought to be fully aware of the fact he means they're great musicians.
He don't need the strings, the strings need him

They need each other
@@BROCK-hq9dn Mind blown
I mean no
Nah
@@somerandomduck5795 String theory is quite complicated.
I love how Chad enters at the perfect time and gives the jam renewed energy at 2:05!
ikr perfectly
The fact that he not only finished the solo of the song without skipping a beat, but also went right into a jam immediately after, is just another level of amazing.
It's not that remarkable,John's only riffing two chords lol
Just the way flea took over for him is crazy. Imagine how well they have to know each other for that happen. The drummer knew when to come back in on Flea and everything.
There is and old video of both jamming is super rad... u should look for it
Slane Castle Californication 2004??
They are all awesome musicians
Flea is just a great person in general
I don't think he took over, I think they simply "resynched" if I may, after the string broke
not a problem for flea once he knew what was going on.
how am I the first reply

I love everything about this. 0:32 john breaks his strings in the middle of a solo and continues to the end, 0:35 plays the end of the broken note to signal to the band somethings wrong and continues his solo. 0:41 and 0:46 he works the broken string sound into a solo. 1:20 flea sees an opportunity to duet with john. 2:04 Flea segues into the first bar for a 4/4 bass line and looks up at chad to queue him in. 2:11 john's watching chad as he hits his queue to drum. 2:51 flea starts pulling back to keep band from digressing too much and everyone catches on immediately,
Love how chad starts to plays the crash for a few moments at 2:27 but then when John starts playing the wah it seems like he changes his mind and switches back to the hi hats to give John more room. Chad is so good at improvising.
If he could walk on the water and turn water into wine, it's not surprising that he could play guitar without strings
soloing without a string honestly isnt as hard as i think people think it is, most of the time when you’re soloing you’re playing around scales and chord shapes. and when you’re doing this you are trying not to play up and down the notes in the scales but rather jumping across strings playing with feel and then playing around chord shapes on the grander chords (V, I). You aren’t being required to use every string when you do this because like I said you aren’t attempting to hit every note in the scale/chord. if you break your sixth string (low E) its barely makes it any harder to solo, it only becomes difficult when you break your 2 highest strings (B, e) because most solos revolve around playing higher notes to stand out from the guitar parts in other parts of the song. even then its still entirely possible to solo especially if you are primarily just bending. i own an ibanez at the moment with a broken high e string because i havent had the chance to buy new strings and its only slightly harder to improvise than it is on my fully stringed prs. the only genre ive found it actually difficult to improvise in without a string is jazz. in jazz you primarily play around 2 octave arpeggios which ive just found very difficult to sound nice without my e string. it sounds a bit contradicting because i said when john solos he uses chord shapes a lot which is pretty easy. but just trust me, i feel like it requires a decent amount of experience to state something like that and im sorry if i sound retarded or ignorant its lowkey like 4am and im tired as fucc.
@DawsonSauce lmfao
nozzie how much meth did you smoke 😦
Hahaha!
@@nozzie1640 he's right yknow
Flea is playing Mario bro
Lol yeah Stage 2 underground...I always loved that fonky stuff!
Minecraft
Sounds more like Toejam and Earl.
1:32 Love how Flea just looks at Chad and he stops doing the swing-time on the cymbal. He understood it was just Flea and John at that moment, SUCH GOOD CHEMISTRY!
0:38 the noise of the pedal effect, omg, sounds so smooth, heavy and unique at the same time, Jonh is the fucking best.
Is that how he got that feedback? How does that work?
@@RahulSingh-fl6bfthe dirty noise comes from the volume and the distortion on, and the second comes from the pick movement on the strings without any power chord on the guitar
That's how high level musicians work. Knowing exactly what to do, listening to each other, understanding the musical moment and being a team.
high level hahaha get the fuck outta here, i agree on the teamwork but this playing is FAR from high level
@@RickBomhof read again.
That honestly wasnt that good, just one scale and shitty improv, not saying i could do better but def wasnt impressed. Oh well. Wasnt expecting to say that.
SRV has a good video of him breaking a string, not missing a note, and swapping while still playing.... now that was impressive.
@@RickBomhof these guys arent srv haha. gotta do what you gotta do in that situation
0:35 REPETITION LEGITIMIZES
Nice reference
WOW
Oh man. Another lover of BASS.
How to not suck at music.
This video shows the best example of how a perfect synchronized band should be:
1. John's string breaks but he adapts to it and changes his soloing style from fast to bending.
2. Flea plays some accompaniment bass that turns into a bass solo to help his guitar colleague.
3. Chad studies the situation and synchronizes everything, giving a perfect entry at 2:05.
4. Anthony keeps out while dances and animates the stage
Will Ferrell is killing it on the drums
🤣🤣🤣 I had to read this twice
LOL always thought this glad i seen this shit
more cowbell
And somewhere Chad is out making an " Anchorman " sequel...
Yeah RHCP are really Iggy Pop, Wayne Rooney, Jesus and Will Ferrel 😉
This was my first RHCP concert!
Meu tbm
Woah! Dude what was it like tell me EVERYTHING
From the beginning when you woke up to the time you slept!!

It's Trickfinger, he could do a solo with one string.
I've seen him do solos even without a string
I saw him do a solo with one string walking on the water under the bridge
I've seen him doing solos even without a string walking on the water under the bridge with one hand
@@rigursos7520 was he playing smoke on the water 🤔
bruh frusciante is so good he could do a solo with 0 strings
Good thing he was playing a telecaster this time. It has a fixed bridge. Unlike the stratocaster he usually plays, which had a floating bridge, which means that if one string breaks, the resulting change in tension cam cause all of the other strings to shift and go out of tune. This doesn't happen on a guitar like a telecaster, nice and simple, and reliable, guitars.
My thoughts too
To be fair I don’t doubt at all that John could bend each note into tune
@@grapefruit3581 good luck bending a full chord into tune
@@musicoflloyd hey man wouldn’t doubt it
If it like my Kahler, it just drops everything half step... easy enough to transpose on the fly when string breaks
He's lucky he was playing a Tele and not a Strat...
Seriously though, the chemistry between John, Flea and Chad is pure magic.
If it were a Hardtail strat it wouldn't make much difference, much like what happened with SRV
@@elvisjsax even if it wasn’t it wouldn’t matter, unless it was a floyd rose.
I don’t really get it . Why ?
Is the tele better than the strat ?
@@davidgeorge5863 The "tremolo" on the strat makes the guitar go out of tune if a string breaks.
What song is this
Was anyone else here enjoying Flea's playing more?
😄
All of them are great
Almost always
Yeah but tbf I’m a bassist lol
@@beelzebubbles6031 I play bass and guitar.
That high note coming up at 2:20 is so good
Ty for time stamping that lol
0:10 Such a cool riff
Yes
its from "if you have to ask"
Love the communication in this band! How John and Flea group up, Flea tags in the solo while John begins playing rytmn to make up for the lost string, flea notices it and counts in the drums.. Just pure improvisation and deliverence on this song
That beggining could be a meme. If they just keep the jumping on a loop lol
John was so damn good, even when the string is break, he break the rule of riff and still play the melody as well as he should be. You won't believe the strings break, if you don't watch the video. Bravo, magnifico.
Love how flea turnin' up instantly after he relised it...
When does that happen?
"Hey Flea, I broke a string"
"How bad is it?"
"Bad?"
2:04 Flea notice the string hanging
🤣
I saw that. Was gonna say, think he noticed about the 2 minute mark. Haha
Lmao
00:38 I love how his guitar just screams for a sec
He turned on his wah so whatever high freq feed back was going on that was covered up by him got amplified by that.
Its breading
Honestly the string couldn’t have broke at a better time cause in this song there’s the breaks between each part of the solo so when he did those pauses it wasn’t out of the ordinary and it’s John so he handled it wonderfully
What song is it?
@@carlossebastiantenajuarez1540 if you have to ask from blood sugar sex magik
1:40 piece of clothing randomly being thrown up on stage lol
Lol imagine if instead of a girl’s shirt it was a dude’s poopy underpants

@@itwontcomeout5678 ?
That’s why they’re pro’s. I saw a guy swap a string out during ‘Jonny be good’ in a Gibraltar bar in the 90’s. Blew our minds.
HOLY SHIT
That's insane. Imagine how many string breaks during a gig it must take to be that good at handling it. I bet those guys rocked.
Talented musicianship means being able to rest on one chord for over 3 minutes without making the listening experience boring
I stared to listen Jimi Hendrix recently, watching this, now I can see how Jimi influenced the style of frusciante
2:05 is when flea sees the broken string and knows just what to do. They rock!!!
“Oh shit we gotta write a new song without that sting, RIGHT NOW.” Lol.
Wish I could play any instrument that well.
Will never cease to amaze me that four absolute musical gods somehow came together into RHCP. Like every band has its star but they’re a whole damn galaxy.
Now THAT’s improvisation. Bless you John, Under the Bridge was one of the first licks I learned.
John’s love for Hendrix comes out every time he takes a stab at a solo.
This is the best if you have to ask performance ever!
I think anyone with a decent understanding of the guitar could figure it out, it’s just badass how they all followed through as a band
The guitar tech”nah fuck this dude let him figure it out he’s got it” 😂😂😂 that was sick tho
The 2 masters in another awesome performance..
0:20 Anthony's little dance is awesome.
OMG I remember watching this alive when it was transmitted, my old CRT tv, Ohh my.... I was only 12 and I started playing guitar after this, and I never ever stopped anymore. I'm 36 now...
1999 São Paulo - Brazil - Credicard Hall. I was there. Amazing show!
Serio? Daora
I’m jealous
Ia perguntar, em inglês, onde e quando foi esse show até que ..... Hahha. Que tesão !
Marcos Bere nem me fala, Esse show foi incrivel. Vc encontra ele inteiro no youtube. Vale a pena assistir! No Brasil, Melhor que este, só o de 2002 no pacaembu. Abraço
Eu tbem, nem tava lotado, pouco antes do estouro do Californication
dude i just love the vibe of being in here
0:20 Anthony is doing the SpongeBob Christmas dance
I just love how iconic each member of this band is.
I was there! October ‘99 - São Paulo - Brazil. It was a great gig!
0:50 my mood all the time
Bro John's and fleas musical connection is insane
A broken string mid performance is my biggest fear. These guys are amazing and handled it with absolute style. If I didn’t see the string break I wouldn’t have known.
0:30 Looks like Fender couldn't handle The Frusciante Style.
The string broke tho? Not the guitar...
Well how 'bout next time you get a guitar that can handle the Frusciante style? Later Nick-o-rama! 😂😂😂
You spelled D'addario wrong. That Tele held together just fine.
@@HipsterEatinShark uh oh, the Jimmy Neutron joke/reference flew over someone's head...
@@gonzacollao Well, I mean, I was actually replying to the OP, Gonzalo. But I confess-sitting around keeping my kid’s cartoon references sharp is an area I’m super weak on. I’m way too busy NOT nursing a bong in my mom’s living room to get whatever dumb reference you made.
In fact, I wasn’t even referring to you. You’ll get that the world doesn’t revolve around what you say as you go through certain... changes. For now, clean the spaghettios off your bib, and go clean your room...
2:03 Flee notices the string is off, looks like he is thinking: Damn the string is off, but we still jamming! , starts to "head bang". =)
This was the sign for the drummer to do the fill in and go heavy. Then they swapped roles. The guitarist played the rythm and the bassist started soloing.
Sure the guitar playing was sick but can we take a second to appreciate the fact Flea and Anthony were jumping in perfect sync during the beginning.
Lol yeah
They do this a lot at this part of this song, even Frusciante used to do it as well on certain performances.
Loved the way Flea just took over after he realized what was going on. That's real chemistry right there.
This saw this solo many times but on a lower qualitty. this video is in great quality. Love it!
Looks like tommy wiseau is shedding it from the behind angle lmao

This is an amazing display of teamwork right here🤘🏽
I don't understand the people who say negative things about them, they are fantastic in every way
I love this performance so much like back when I thought I was gonna be a famous musician I definitely will wanted to have a moment in a music video that was a tribute to how he continued the solo
I think a lot of ppl are misreading the situation. That flea solo would have happened regardless of if that string broke or not, it’s what they do on this particular song. Give John credit, he rocked that solo, and then kept going with flea during his part. Phenomenal musicians
that was awesome I love when something outside the solo has a effect on the outcome of the solo such as a mistake or string breaking. You can notice he completely repeats the way the mistake sounded and made it work into a repeating pattern
Those two freak are unreal! Such talent, how can you now smile and bob your head.
That guitar tone is so badass!
If it had been his strat it would've been a different story lol.
Bet he’d still figure it out even with the tuning messed up lol.
I think he has the bridges fixed
@@rainerwinkler1026 no he has it decked like jimi
@@rainerwinkler1026 def uses the whammy often.
why?
I love flea just standing there literally slappin his bass just chillin 😂
That little ditty between John and Flea isn't present on the studio version(such as is every other live performances) but when Flea takes the lead and John proveeds with supporting riff and CHAD comes in with the absolute banger, it's a bond of something magical.
I could NEVER figure out how the damn drummer did all those WILL FARRELL movies and still found time to drum for the chili peppers... 🤔
Yeah he's so talented
21 years ago!! WOW time flies...
I love how the bass and the guitar parts mach perfectly together and make another sound epic
As a guitarist I love asking people who their favorite guitarists are. Most people say Hendrix, Slash, etc. When I ask other guitarist A LOT say John Frusciante and John Petrucci. I really enjoy asking other guitarists because it's an instant insight to how they tend to play.
They both paying final respect to that string who died on duty.
Love how Will is back there playing the drums and enjoying the show
Such a great awareness, after the sting breaks he just waits so patiently to mirror that last phrase, giving it musical meaning. A moment of mastery.
So much talent from one band
John is so good that even the “your favorite band sucks” guys agreed when they did the ep on RHCP
Brilliant, so damn talented John
the vibes of this guys, best jams ever
