Bob's voice sounds like a mix between Frusciante and Chad
And his singing voice souds like Elvis Costello. 😎 if ya know you know
"Me and Anthony were like... golfing or something" - :D
Thank you for posting these!
To be a fly on that wall
John will always be remembered as "the kid" 😁❤
Reading Scar Tissue it's clear that Anthony and Bob have a real solid friendship
That's somehow comforting to know😀
Nice to see Bob. Back in the day, I’d go see Thelonius play at McCabes and Anthony was usually in the audience. Another time, I saw Thelonius at Whisky a Go Go and Flea played trumpet there. Great shows, great memories.
Bob is The O.G.
great stories
Great story :-)
Positive train is not that hard...
At what age? Knowing music?
Or was that only song you practiced?
It's amazing.
Music.
I want to sing with John live like flea connected. Music.
Will happen
Lol its not that its hard. The verse part can be played easily. But if you listen to the chorus, theres too many overdubs to play by yourself. I wouldnt doubt that Frusciante figured out a way to do it without the studio magic used on the record.
Awesome.
Thelonious Monster is terrible.😂. Thank you John for joining the peppers.
Dude absolutely not. Clearly you're not REALLY listening. Theyre fuckin brilliant! Check out "Try" "Anymore" " Swan Song" "Blood is thicker than water" "See That my Grave is Kept Clean"
Youre trippin. Frusciante wouldnt think Bob was a "god" when he first heard them, if they werent good.
@@xavierrhcp13 yeah I take that back, I went back and really gave them a listen. They are good
@@markrosenquist8259 yeah Thelonius was one of the most underrated bands I’ve ever seen.
@@andrewferguson8032 seriously dude, Bob fucked it up. 😂 this is from his own admission. Most of the band were way over deep with their issues.
@@xavierrhcp13 so true. I became a fan of Thelonius in the 80s so I was used to Bob being a little overweight. Then one day in the early 90s, I saw Bob on State Street in Santa Barbara and he was super skinny in a really bad way. He looked so destroyed from all the drugs and I honestly was surprised he lived through that. Bob and Paul Westerberg are 2 guys who pissed away talent we could only dream of. They were their own worst enemies, but they defined my younger years and gave me some of the best memories
