If you understand music theory the two songs aren't very similar beyond the first few notes It was just inspiration a lot of artists come up with new songs by learning old ones
Look up a bands top 10-20 biggest influences and you will find pieces (or entire sections or even entire songs if the writer is unscrupulous or oblivious) of their music all over their stuff. Music is language. You dont invent a new language for every song. Its all the same alphabet and sentences. Context is everything
I was just starting freshman year in HS. Being a Star wars geek that was also when the phantom menace came out. It was a pretty goddamn amazing time for movies and music.
Good video essay. Has all the qualities I enjoy. No over-talking, showing the source (aka RHCP) instead of quoting and saying it yourself, no over-researched areas. Perfect!
This video changed my life. I was 6 years old - crazy about video games. This is how I got hooked to Red Hot Chili Peppers and subsequently rock music.
@@saml302 i remember reading somewhere that he was trying to get his legal named changed but kiedis allegedly said "no can do" and then he pointed to his OFF! hat
Wow i'm so glad I clicked on this video, what a treat. It was so nice having everything laid out nicely in front of me so I could enjoy it all super easily. Seriously, amazing job! I would love to see this type of video with any other of their songs! Or whole albums in fact maybe
Mate, what the fuck is this? I started on this video, got blown away, watched other ones and came back to say you're a great visual storyteller, what the actual fuck. You bring to the screen everything you mention, it's such a pleasure to watch something where everything is served on a plate for you. My curious mind really thanks your effort, I know how hard is to edit a video like this. Subscribed, great job!!
Its one thing to love the song and video, but to find out how it was made behind the scenes, makes me love it even more. I think because i can appreciate the art and creativity that went into it. You also get the sense that it wouldve been really fun to actually be there while it was all happening. Im just happy i was around when it came out (I was 5) lol.
@@mikolajpaluch4927 yeah, I do enjoy it, but it probably in the top 3 albums from them i heard the least. But I do love the songs Aeroplane, Deep kick and the b side Stretch
man this is an amazing video. love how you dove into different topics like the early history of the band and video games and johns journey without straying from the main theme at all. very easy to follow too and full of great information. well done, gotta sub now!
growing up in germany, for a non-native speaker, his lyrics sounded like total gibberish to me. now, after 25 years of learning and speaking english, i am so amazed at the depth of his lyrics.
The life and lore of this band is fully an interest of mine in and of itself. The shit these guys have seen+experienced is insane. Each of them could write several books and have several biopics. They are hollywood history, theyre an og homegrown L.A band that are still selling out tours. I remember watching this video as a little kid and being so fascinated by it+the music. Its burnt into my brain. 😂
Growing up 80s and 90s in Dallas, RHCP was a huge part of my life and we listened to Pantera, Metallica and several other rock bands of the times but when BSSM released we all stopped and took note then RHCP announced they were done. That was my welcome to reality moment that bands didnt just exist, they were people to. Until that moment I had always thought bands like Suicidal and Beastie boys would always just exist but RHCP made me realise these guys struggled to live in the world the same as us.
I loved this song as a kid and not really knowing the meaning behind the lyrics but now since i’m a little older i took a look back at the lyrics and it’s very deep and showing the real meaning behindbut
I legit as a kid thought there was no way video games would ever reach that point. At least not anytime soon. But I always thought it would be so cool if they did. It's funny looking back because it looks silly now compared to the state of modern video games lol.
This is such an informative and enjoyable video! Better than any documentary segment I’ve seen in a while. Gotta check out the Californication demo now - so good! Would’ve never heard it if not for this video. Keep up the great stuff!
To be honest, back then, as a teen, I listened to a lot of music not so much because I liked it, but because I felt I needed to be part of something to be cool or something like that. It was more about identity than about the actual music. I wasn't even some fashion victim follower who listened to the popular stuff to be part of the in-crowd. I was a contrarian loner, but I listened to music that seemed to fit that image I had of myself. The Californication album was one of the few exceptions. It was one of the very few I genuinely listened to for the music and on which I liked pretty much every song.
I love these back story's. Ya think; I got the lyrics & the melody, we're almost done, but there's so much more & so many parts of the puzzle coming from so many people, in & out side the band. The song is the sauce. The players are the spices & the Chef gets his que's from from not only his tastes, but all the muses that touch him.
The first time I listened to this amazing song I remember I was like 11 or less! I wanted to learn the lyrics so bad! As you can see English isn’t my first language! lol The rhythm 🎶 the melody, the instrumental combination everything made it so perfect !! I was addicted to the song lol. Later I watched the video and I said to my young self “you know what we need to make it to CA” I really wanted to experience it myself ! And so I did ! I moved to CA when I was 24 ! Went to the the RHCP concert and it felt so good ❤
I love how real the creative process is on this one. No I dreamed about this song woke up wrote it and it was perfect, but yea we couldn't figure it out so we listened to the cure and played crazy taxi lmao
I was there at the show in the very first clip of Flea and John facing each other playing the intro. It was their performance at Austin City Limits. What an incredible night, it was Flea’s birthday.
Amazing video man, I love RHCP and at the same time i'm learning english, so your video help to know more about the band and at the same time practice my english listening. Thank you, grettings from Barraquilla, Colombia.
This song is “a lesson in perseverance, if you think there’s something in there, you gotta just stay at it”. 20+ years and the audience are realising there’s something in there
One miss. "Can you hear the spheres..." Sphere was another term for UFOs during war time. Also commonly known as Foo Fighters. The band famously covered David Bowie's "Station to Station" on radio shows during their first album cycle.
I’m surprised that this album was released with its current sound quality. IDK whether it was the recording, mixing or mastering process but to me it wasn't ready. Nothing to comment on the quality of the songs in it.

My little daughter loves it. And the song.
@@apl2606 i remember being very little and loving everything about this, i know that feeling and its awesome. Glad your daughter loves it too ❤
Kinda crazy how Frusciante just straight up said "I couldn't come up with anything, so I ripped off The Cure" lmao
Music history is one huge recycle bin, awesome to hear such big stars tell it like it is

Remember buying this album, watching fightclub and matrix in 99. What a year.
Fuck i varely remember im 30 lol
I’m 33. I remember. One of the best years of the decade.
I was just starting freshman year in HS. Being a Star wars geek that was also when the phantom menace came out.
It was a pretty goddamn amazing time for movies and music.
That was a good year
Good video essay. Has all the qualities I enjoy. No over-talking, showing the source (aka RHCP) instead of quoting and saying it yourself, no over-researched areas. Perfect!
Thanks a lot!
Ikr I hate when people do that, just basically reading aloud a quote from an article or video instead of showing the actual video!
This video changed my life. I was 6 years old - crazy about video games. This is how I got hooked to Red Hot Chili Peppers and subsequently rock music.
Chad: "I've never been on a snowboard in my life." 😂💀
Chad is my favorite Pepper.
Mine too. He was great in Step Brothers.
I laughed so hard
that's "Big Cat" to us he famously goes by the nickname "Big Cat"
Chad had that "I got a rock" energy in his voice when he mentioned the snowboard.

I always thought that the line "space may be the final frontier but it's made in an Hollywood's basement" was about the moon landing being fake lol

havent seen the vid, but..
so it wasn't about that ? 😮

Californication being BSSM Part 2 is so on point even the intro tracks are damn near mirrors of themselves
I've listened to this song probably a thousand times, and everytime I read the lyrics it's evident how beautifully poetic Anthony's songwriting is.
growing up in germany, for a non-native speaker, his lyrics sounded like total gibberish to me. now, after 25 years of learning and speaking english, i am so amazed at the depth of his lyrics.

if you think anthony is poetic lol check out mike patton, wipes his ass any day on his own style or any other. anthony still cool tho but check it out
@@MollyGaia Can you not just appreciate someone's work? What's with the stupid comment?
I love this song. I’m amazed that the music was inspired by a Cure song. This was great.
Legit, never noticed it before but now that I hear it its a shock

Acid for the Children is fantastic. I recommend the audiobook just because Flea narrates it himself.
@@derrickrussell8933 I'm definitely going to be listening to or reading it! Thank you !
“Scar Tissue” give it a read. definitely interesting
Could go multiple series with multiple different actors playing characters like the Crown.
ABSOLUTE CLASSIC! first RHCP song ive listen too in the 2000's Poland.....childhood 😢❤
Hęll Yęąh
you went crazy on this vid i hope your hard work pays off
I love this. When I was still a singer in a band, we made songs exactly like 2:00. It is so nostalgic to think about that.
glad that you showed a lot of clips from the actual band members instead of voiceover the whole vid

If it wasn't for Californication
I would have never known that Mr bungle exists.
Such a blessing.
6:30 actually had my jaw dropped for a second 😭
HE GOT ME THERE TOO LMAO
I legit as a kid thought there was no way video games would ever reach that point. At least not anytime soon. But I always thought it would be so cool if they did. It's funny looking back because it looks silly now compared to the state of modern video games lol.
"i never snowboarded in my life" the way he says it is gold
The real lesson here is: If you can’t figure out how to make a song work, you just need a John Frusciante lol
John frusciante #1🎸
TERRIFIC job, loved the editing and storytelling. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
This is such an informative and enjoyable video! Better than any documentary segment I’ve seen in a while. Gotta check out the Californication demo now - so good! Would’ve never heard it if not for this video. Keep up the great stuff!
Super interesting! Love the band, the song and this video
Thank you!

Hope this vid gets blessed by the UA-cam algorithm.

To be honest, back then, as a teen, I listened to a lot of music not so much because I liked it, but because I felt I needed to be part of something to be cool or something like that. It was more about identity than about the actual music.
I wasn't even some fashion victim follower who listened to the popular stuff to be part of the in-crowd. I was a contrarian loner, but I listened to music that seemed to fit that image I had of myself.

I love these back story's. Ya think; I got the lyrics & the melody, we're almost done, but there's so much more & so many parts of the puzzle coming from so many people, in & out side the band. The song is the sauce. The players are the spices & the Chef gets his que's from from not only his tastes, but all the muses that touch him.

I've been loving the Animated Video of Californication ever since I first saw it as a 6 year old. With each and every year it only became cooler

Yay! Its from the Cure melody ❤ and I love the demo version with a touch of reggae❤️❤️
