#1 Record Has Been ERASED From This Legendary Band’s History | Professor Of Rock

- It has been called a flop, a letdown, and a failed album... Pretty much erased from the pages of music history, Red Hot Chili Pepper’s 6th studio album, the 90s classic, One Hot Minute has become a ghost record. It has been overshadowed by the massive success of its predecessor Blood Sugar Sex Magik and its follow-up Californication. But climbing to #4 on the Billboard Album Chart and selling over 2 million US units, and 4 million worldwide and producing 3 Top Ten hits including the #1 Hit My Friends is far from a letdown. Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith and new guitarist Dave Navarro were going with the flow that took the band through a harrowing experience making the record including Anthony’s relapse. … A 4X platinum album? Most artist would die for that.. But, what happened? How did one of the most anticipated albums of its day become a lost chapter in this band’s history? well it all starts with a key member quitting and then later coming back.... John Frusciante is the key . Get the story next.

In February 1992 the Red Hot Chili Peppers made what lead singer Anthony Kiedis considered to be a disastrous appearance on Saturday Night Live. And much of that was thanks to guitarist John Frusciante, who at the time, was in a dark and dangerous place. Disillusioned by the band’s popularity and steeped in heroin abuse, he began isolating himself from his bandmates. Well, that night, Kiedis was already apprehensive because ‘Under the Bridge’ as their second number.
The song was a challenge for him to sing. And he was dependent on John for his cue. But John was in a sour mood. During dress rehearsal, he played Under the Bridge in a different key, out of tune, and in a different timing... basically reinventing the song. Afterward Kiedis tried to hash things out with John, but he wasn’t interested in talking. The show’s first number was ‘Stone Cold Bush’, which went well enough until the end of the song.
Kiedis, doing what he does, burst into a fit of wild stage antics. And he kicked John Frusciante in the process. Whether or not it was intentional, John wasn’t happy about it.
When the Peppers returned onstage for ‘Under the Bridge’, Frusciante may as well have been on another planet. He started playing a version of the song Anthony had never heard before.
Live, in front of millions of people, Kiedis was left scrambling for the right key. But the ad-libbing didn’t end there. Instead of singing his backing vocals, John simply screamed at the top of his lungs. Some fans saw John’s deviations as a creative and beautiful take on the song. But Anthony felt like he had been stabbed in the back and hung out to dry in front of America. - Розваги
Poll: What is your pick for the Red Hot Chili Pepper's best song?
On this album. one Big Mob!!
Aeroplane is probably gonna be considered the best on that album but I find myself listening to Shallow be thy game more.
"Fight Like a Brave"
Soul to squeeze
On this album, Tearjerker
One Hit Minute was one of their strongest albums. Walkabout is INSANE. My Friends is def one of the greatest songs they ever recorded
I totally agree, Dave Navarro is a legend also!
One hot minute was an iconic record. It got me through a very rough time in my own history. Its songs are etched onto my soul. A totally underappreciated and crazy record.
How about the spoken word intro to Deep Kick and the middle section of One Big Mob? I was in middle school and MTV was my life, this album was soooo anticipated, i remember watching the MTV documentary about the making of this album, it gave me that wanting to run away with the circus vibe, later went to see them that year, Anthony Kiedis got hit in the forehead with a liquor bottle in the first song… after the song he says “to the person who threw the bottle at my head, I just wanna say………. I love you” boom right into the next song. Special band, I’d say as important as Metallica and NIN. I had almost forgot how much I used to love RHCP and Flea;) this video really brought me back.
I couldn’t say it any better. It’s an incredible record, and probably my favorite. It’s just just beautifully complex with it’s tone and circumstance. Navarro not being a funk player? Man….sounded good to me…
Tracks like Deep Kick, One Big Mob, Walkabout. This is rock’n’roll magic.
Maybe it’s fitting that an album so good, is the one the band hates.
Californication was the let down for me. It’s the second most musically bland record after The Getaway.
One Hot Minute is just the last picture of the band with youth in their sound.
ditto dude. was going through a major break up and this album got me through it.
makes me sick they that don't even acknowledge it
Being a long time fan of RHCP from their early punk-funk style starting with their first album, One Hot Minute was a definite departure from that style but it still grooved like crazy, of course how could it not when the rhythm section is Flea & Chad? Dave Navarro brought something to the table that was absolutely amazing. And I'll never slight John Frusciante because he is a phenomenal guitarist in his own right but the heaviness that Dave brought was just other worldly in my opinion. One Hot Minute will always be my favorite RHCP album of all time. I still listen to it after all these years.
Oh yeah oh yeah! 🤘
Yeah the first heavy riff in Warped is flea and Dave really locked in and Anthony floating up above the music with floaty Melodie’s and lyrics. I miss this time period in music, I also miss this high energy mid 90’s L.A. vibe, just electric.
They were hooking up at the end of one of the videos from that album. Then I thought I'm not listening to these guys anymore.
Blood Sugar Sex Magik broke me into the chili peppers and will always be my favorite. I raised my first son on it, took him to his first concert at lollapalooza to see them at the age of two. Sir Psycho Sexy will always be my favorite song. Anthony’s voice is just so soothing to me.
Had no idea I enjoyed music history as much as I do until I heard you presenting it.
Thanks for the great behind the scenes stories.
Warped is one of the most underrated songs of all time. As a drummer, that song is so fun to play.
All time ..You need an intervention 😂🗣🙏
great song!
I really appreciate and love this channel. As a casual music fan I often don’t appreciate or know much about the backgrounds of my favorite songs and bands. You really help me get a lot more joy out of the music that I love. 😀
My sentiment exactly.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks Brian.
I learn from this channel every time I watch, which is almost DAILY!
Agreed! I had never heard this whole album before today, so I appreciate Adam for teaching it to me!
This was such an eye-opening video. Hearing the untold and "swept under the rug" stories behind iconic bands and albums are one of the many reasons why I love this channel.
Long-time Chili Peppers fan. The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is my favorite album. I was lucky enough to see them live with Hillel and there might have been 100 people there.
One Hot Minute was severely underrated. I loved Jane’s Addiction and Dave really gave the band the balls it needed.
Also, if you haven’t heard deconstruction , check it out.
Dude, that bad ass. Original line up I suppose.
Uplift Mofo Party Plan, oh man, what an album, easily one of the best
Fantastic tour saw them two times for uplift mofo same deal maybe 200 people at the most
that’s so dope
Uplift Mofo- their best album
The Power of The Professor: I was NEVER a fan of RHC…. But, at 63, I found my heart melting and my feet dancing to their story and music…. All because of YOU!!!💃🕺❤️💫😁
I've come to respect a lot of these musicians even though I don't care a lot for their music. One really doesn't need to like art on order to appreciate talent.
@@timkaldahl Well said!!!
I love One Hot Minute. With Navarro it's their art rock album. Warped is brilliant. Aeroplane along with most other tracks are totally unique and musically amazing.
Both great songs.
yeah I'm surprised it has such a negative reputation. I honestly like a few of the songs on that album. my friends, tearjerker, transcending shallow by thy name, plus the two you mentioned. I will say though it definitely has it's own sound and isnt like the rest of their work.
Deep Kick and One Big Mob!!!
One Hot Minute is my fave record of all time by any band ever. It pains me that it's ignored. i adore it. So underrated, but I have been noticing that over the last few years it's finally started to get the respect it deserves.
Even as a huge Frusciante fanatic, I gotta give it up for that record! It's their best album without John, imo.
It's my fav RHCP album
That album is horrible
My favorite too. As much as I love Frusciante, One Hot Minute is my favorite RHCP album.
Had this convo just last night.
Thanks for making this video.... One hot minute is one of favourite albums... i saw Chilli Peppers on Wembley arena on the One hot minute tour with Dave Navarro... it was amazing. So much more depth and feeling than their more recent albums for me.
Its one of my favorite complete RHCP albums. I think having Navarro on it was the most intriguing thing because thematically he is a very different guitar player than the prior guitar slingers that preceded him on recordings. Nearly every track on it was pure banger
ANOTHER fantastic posting! Thank you, professor.
As a 10 year old my friends and I used to 'borrow' this album from their parents regularly, purely because it featured lots of swearing, which excited us.
Another 10 years down the line I re-discovered the album and became aware of its musical excellence!
This is still my favorite Chili Peppers album. Thanks for putting the spotlight on it. It deserves more respect.
Coffee Shop is one of Flea's greatest performances. It is a shame that they don't play it live. If Frusciante won't play songs he didn't help write, then he shouldn't keep leaving the band.
You’re right. I feel like John should have just taken a break from causing all of this drama for the band.
Frusciante is the Peppers. How bout they should quit making records when he's not in the band?
@@carlosimotti3933 well, except that he’s not, and they’ve made more records without him than with him.
He’s very gifted to be sure, but one member’s antics shouldn’t stop a band from working. Especially when he’s not a founding member and has marginalized himself from the rest of his bandmates.
@@carlosimotti3933 you obviously don’t know much about RHCP if you believe that comment and you’re not just trolling
@@jotacalvo I'm a massive john fan but even i know he is not the peppers!
I’m glad you did this one. I remember me and my friend Chris (RIP) buying this the day it came out and listening to it over and over debating the best songs.
Great memories
Thank you Professor for creating this video. One Hot Minute will always have a special place in my memory as it came about just as me and my school friends were learning to play instruments and forming cover bands.
My late friend actually auditioned for the Red Hot Chili Pepper's in 92'. They said he was one of the best guitarist that had auditioned but there was someone already in mind, but if that didn't work out they would let him know. They asked him to stay in California for a few days while they figured things out. Two days later they let him know they were going with Navarro.
Your timelines off
@@thedadyouneverhadchannel3544 John Frusciante quit mid-tour in 1992, IIRC. They finished the tour with temporary and session guitarists and then hired Navarro in late ‘92 or early ‘93. They wrote, rehearsed and recorded ‘One Hot Minute’ in June[ish] of ‘94 and the album was ultimately released in mid-late 1995.
If I’ve got any of that wrong, please correct.
Cheers!
Why do you make shit up?
No one cares
Maybe if he was more punctual he would have got the job
The content is awesome. I like how you give background on the artists, and their music. Cool how you give a backstory with it.
Thanks Daryl!
What I think is that I'm glad your out here doing this. Reminds me of a great summer I had as a kid, a young Marine stationed in Okinawa, Japan, driving around in a foreign world but listening to Kasey Kassim's top 40. Great rock trivia and stories told with wonder, respect, and an honest love for the art. Yeah, man I'm glad you're out here. Peace
I absolutely love this album. So many memories attached to this album. I actually rediscovered it when I was digitising my CD collection and now it lives on my players and in my car ☺️
Dido
I loved "My Friends" when it was out. Recently it popped up on an online 90s station in my car and I was so excited to hear it again! I had totally forgotten about the song, which made me a little sad, but thankful as well to have it back.
Thanks for this episode. Totally underrated album. After watching this it makes me appreciate the album even more. Love your channel.
Thank you so much for your channel. Your content captures the magic that Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 brought us. Well done.
I agree... I was thinking about this few days ago. Thanks for bringing this up!
My Friends is a great song from an under appreciated record. It was one of the first albums I ever owned actually as a child. Bought it mainly because of My Friends. But to me the Chili’s best song is another one that gets intentionally neglected: Knock Me Down from Mother’s Milk. I’ve read that they don’t play it anymore because of the personal nature of the lyrics dealing with the death of their previous guitarist. Understandable but man what I wouldn’t give to hear that song live.
Hell yes!
This is one of my favorite episodes Professor! There was one trivia tidbit you missed. “One Hot Minute” only made it to #4 because Alanis’ “Jagged Little Pill” was one of the 3 albums above it. Flea and Dave Navarro played on Alanis’ breakthrough hit “You Outta Know” which helped propel the JLP album above OHM.
It’s an almost identical musical situation to when EVH’s Michael
Jackson “Beat It” guitar solo helped propel “Thriller” to #1 with VH’s “1984” album peaking at #2 as a result. Keep up the great work! Your channel is amazing! ❤️🔥
neat little tidbit!
Of course I knew that EVH played on Beat It and Thriller was #1, and 1984 was #2, and I knew Flea played on You Oughta Know, and Alanis was really the megastar of the year, but I had never thought of it like that. You're totally right. Good call.
And Celine Dion and Mariah Carey daydream were still big sellers, 1996 was alanis vs. Mariah Carey at the Grammys..
People still can't believe the success of daydream and she went out empty handed especially the one sweet day made history..
I gotta tell ya, I’ve been subscribed for a bit and I want to express my appreciation for your Channel. Thank you!!!
I was there at that performance of My Friends at Ohana Fest. Such a pleasant and beautiful surprise to see Dave and Chad perform together which I never thought would happen, especially with Taylor on vocals. Even cooler now after watching this video
“ My Friends “ is a beautiful song .. if Dave’s only input in the Red Hot Chili Peppers was that song it was all worth it .. one of my favorite RHCP songs of all .. ❤️
It’s a wonderful song. Really hits you in the feels.
I feel that way about Aeroplane.
I read somewhere that Flea wrote the guitar parts for My Friends. Dave's still great, though
@@sombra1111 I don’t mean he made the song or the guitar parts .. whatever input he had to the song .. even just playing the guitar and solo is enough of a contribution.. I’m sure Dave’s input probably molded the song too ..
I actually prefer One Hot Minute over the rest of the catalog and wished they could have at least done one more album with Dave Navarro! To me it was a big step forward in their sound and style.
Yikes thats a bad take.
Me too, but I think what that really means to the people that will likely scoff at me is I am not a fan of the band as much as many, but Warped and My Friends are two songs I love. I love playing bass and singing to Aeroplane too. Under The Bridge is definitely not a song I liked and that alone will baffle many.
@@blackjackfan58 not a bad take at all, OHM is a step up from Blood Sugar Sex Magic, and many others think so to! Once John came back they took a step back which was a major turn off for many.
@@blackjackfan58 why is everyone talking about about One Hot Minute and not the bland, soulless Hollywood chud-rock schlock that is Californication?
@@blackjackfan58 a bad take is keep pretending Frusciante isn't a major diva that turns the rest of the band into a snooze fest.
This is my favorite album they do. I was around for when it came out it was right when I started playing guitar. It’s such great listen from start to finish. I had the incredible privilege of telling Dave Navarro how much this record influenced me he knows it’s a classic and work of art.
PoR you are a exceptional source of history and backstory. Stay going, don't stop. Thank you!
"Life has a wicked sense of humor" Amen. Another great story about great music fr the Prof
Thank you daryl!
Exactly.
This album was my first CD I ever owned, given as a birthday present when I was in 6th grade. This era of the chili’s had a massive impact on me and I wish it was more appreciated
🙏🏻🌶❤️🔥
Wet Sand.
Thanks for giving us all the background on this album. As a rchp I love this One Hot Minute and I listen to to it regularly, even though I started following the band in the mid 2000s. It is indeed a bit sad that we never hear any live performance of this songs anymore.
I agree that’s a great song one of my favs as well. Great video keep on rocking 🤘🏻
I bought this record because I loved “Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic”. Listening to it I realized that “One Hot Minute” was very different. My favorite songs were “Aeroplane”, which I loved, and “Coffee Shop”. It took me a while to warm up to “My Friends” because it was downtempo, but I often wondered about the character Anthony sang about. I’ve always suspected that the reason the record has been pushed aside because of Dave Navarro’s departure. I think this album absolute speaks to the artistry of the band. If you want your art to be truly artful, then it has to grow.
As always thank you for the trip to the 90's. Red Hot Chili Peppers are truly one of a kind. I'll always remember One Hot Minute. Plenty of hits of that record. Dave Navarro did a good job filling in those guitarist shoes. It sounded different than Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic and I say that's a good thing. The first single Warped kicked everything into high gear. Aeroplane and My Friends were truly wonderful additions to their singles collection. My personal favorite is Coffee Shop! Thanks again Professor and have a good weekend 🤘
You too! Thanks for watching and commenting. I too, love Coffee Shop.
Frusciante is still the only guitar player for this band. Some excellent tunes and an underrated album but Navarro knew it and the rest of the band knew it that it's Frusciante through and through.
Another excellent episode of this show.
All great songs!
@@ProfessorofRock my favorite song from one hot minute is “falling into grace” such an underrated song. But the whole album is great. Could easily be their best work. Although stadium arcadium had all the bangers lol
I love your backdrop! So cool with the albums. ✌️❤️
Great production on your video and audio !
"Aeroplane" is a classic. My old band also used to do a cover of, "My Lovely Man". And I LOVE the song, "Coffee Shop"
100%
My band covered my lovely man back in the day too!!
Three great ones, for sure!
I remember hearing Warped for the first time, and as the first released single from One Hot Minute. It blew me away!! Sooooo much angst and energy. I went and bought the CD that day. It's still my favorite track from it.
It reminded me of if Metallica and Jamiroquai had a baby!
Same for me. It was metal when rock bands including Van Halen were going grunge.
This is such a great episode!
Fantastic video, figuratively this album was popular for one hot minute. Like you adam, this is my favor chili pepper song. So beautiful
I saw Anthony when he was back in addiction. It was dark and real and you can see him change for the worse and it was a different creature. It was good to see him through to the other side ! He said that in his song 🎵 My friends I was given thanks. I said no Thank you!
You know everybody!
It is so tragic to see him in that state. Luckily he survived.
@@ProfessorofRock There's far more that I wish to forget.
I remember buying this album the day is was released as well. A local record shop put an ad in the newspaper the week before and if you clipped the ad and showed up on the release date you could get a $2 discount. This album and Mother's Milk are the only RHCP albums that I ever seem to revisit anymore.
Great video!
Just subbed man
Haven't ever heard of this Channel.
I am not the biggest rhcp fan. But I was a teenager back then, and didn't understand at the time why they had such a rolling lineup. My Friends really struck me at that time, too. The deep description of where songs I love come from is one of my favorite things about music -- my life passion.
Thank you for putting it together, and I look forward to seeing what else you've got.
Definitely one of my favorites. I listened to this almost non-stop as an angsty 16 year old in 2000. So many memories associated with this album
What a fantastic deep dive, well written and composed professor. I didn't know a lot of this. Can't agree more Friends is a fantastic song. Anthony is a great songwriter and the RHCP have a sound you know instantly it's them. Fantastic album and a fantastic follow up to Blood Sugar. Keep doing 90s music professor there is so much great music in this era.
Will do my friend!
I second this thought.
Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the best out there! I hadn’t heard this particular album all the way through before today but have heard a lot of their other stuff. My next 90s request is anything by Garbage or The Offspring.
@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980 it's a great album, RHCP always original, both those groups would be fantastic, I like Spin Doctors and Third Eye Blind
@@MyName-pl7zn Spin Doctors’ Two Princes is classic! You also cannot go wrong with Semi-Charmed Life!
Just discovered (and subscribed) to your channel via this video. Loved all of the info and 90% of it was news to me. At the time this album was released I was fully chasing my own Rock'N'Roll dreams. Writing lots of music but also playing in a popular and busy cover band. We learned Aeroplane and My Friends and added them to our set immediately. They went over great with the crowd and we loved playing them. Funny thing though, they fell out of our set within a year. It seemed like nobody was really into them after awhile and they got shuffled out in favour of songs that got a better reaction. To this day it is still my partner and guitar player's favourite Chili's album. He has bugged me for years to re-learn My Friends and your video has inspired me to do so.
Hi Adam, great work with the video! I have a question - Does Scotland have it's own album chart aside from the UK? You mention both when citing the success of OHM, but it seems odd to me as Scotland is part of the UK. Thanks and keep up the great work.
I loved this album. I bought it when it came out, "music is my aeroplane" is a great lyric. I love Flea singing on it, they all contributed greatly. I was going through some rough times with some close friends of mine, so it's kind of painful to listen to now, but being in a better head space now means I can enjoy the music more.
Awesome song 🎵
One of my favs. Dave’s contribution can’t be overstated.
Of course it can. I’m a huge fan of Dave but OHM was not his best work, and his funk rhythm work is underwhelming.
That album was better than any the Chilis released after it.
@@dxfifa A lot of people would disagree with you.
@@KickflipGnasty this album is top 3 from the RHP. Dave Navarro live with the chili’s blew John’s versions of songs away outta this planet. Dave was and is a fucken rockstar.
@@greganguiano4308 I’ve never heard any hard-core fan rank this in their top three. I love Dave and I’m a huge fan of Jane’s Addiction and of course he was amazing with them live, but you sound like a casual fan.
Great video 👌
I agree with you there.... might be there most interesting and varied album! Also I am one of the lucky fans who bought this on vinyl back in the day 💰💰💰
"My Friends" is a great song. "One Hot Minute" is the most uneven album in the RHCP catalog. It's still a better album overall than anything released between 2010-2020 imo. I bet Frusciante could bring an interesting touch to the song if he decided to interpret it. Navarro has a great guitar sound, but John Frusciante is a guitar god and has otherworldly vocal/songwriting chops.
One of those songs that always brings a tear to my eyes and makes you think of everyone hurting in hard times, whatever the context
I also remember that in between Frusciante's departure and Navarro's hiring, they hired guitarist Arik Marshall, but he lasted less than a year. That was the lineup I saw perform live in 1992, which is still the only time I've seen them play.
Transcending is amazing! It gives me autumn vibes. I love the guitar part after '"All we are, are leaves that fall".
Excellent video. Really thurough and knowledgeable and super interesting. I had no idea about Anthony's relapse from a dentist appointment that's wild. All that being said- damn! Doing Josh Klinghoffer* dirty with that "John Kingoffer" name! 😂
I bought this album since it came out, and loved it... My Friends. A Masterpiece. I've shed a tear or two when listening... Warped... Crazy AF..! Great other songs within... Sad been almost thrown into oblivion, but thank You, Professor, for bringing this back to remember..!
Oh man, I LOVED this album. It was my first Peppers album (later picked up the rest) and I could not stop playing it. These guys along with a few other bands got me out of my Depeche Mode bubble and opened me up to other types of music. I might have to play this album again today in honor of this video! 😎👍
One hot minute is one of the albums played in my garage while in my Skateboarding phase. How I miss the good ol days of buying CD's or cassette tapes at a local music store... thanks for posting this vid! It brought back memories
95-96 I felt that RHCP, STP and Sound Garden albums released those years where my favorite albums at that time and some of all 3 of the bands best work. I remember seeing and hearing the videos all over everywhere I went on radio or mtv. I was 15 at the time some of the most fun years of my life
Walkabout is one of my favorite RHCP songs. So unique with such a dope funky bass line. Absolutely and incredibly dopealiscious
Love One Hot Minute! Some great songs that still get me way pumped! Always loved Jane's Addiction too. Hard to say where I rank it, in the top 6 for sure, at least until Dream Canteen comes out. Interesting aside, before Navarro joined they actually advertised and auditioned guitarists I believe. Great episode Prof. Cheers!
I had this years ago... I'll have a listen again on Spotify. Thanks for this!
dude, thank you for this video.
"One hot minute", came out at a bad time in my life, and at the time all music was dark to me through the 90's funny how now I cherish these song's! After getting my life back together I can now listen to these song's and really enjoy them even though they bring back some of those dark feelings it's something great about them! Its almost like they were made especially for me! Great episode Professor! Thanks for keeping the music alive!
Nice! Glad you made it out of that dark place.
@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980 Thanks!👍
I played that album to death. I still go back to it from time to time. The harder guitar edge really is appealing to me. Especially since I loved Jane's Addiction at the time.
Thank you! I had forgotten this song's existence, not anymore now.
Rad video dude!
So true! No lie, I heard "Scar Tissue" on the radio this week and actually asked myself "What the hell did RHCP do between Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Californication??" After a moment or two I did remember One Hit Minute, and I had already planned to revisit it. Now I have definitely have to. I haven't listened to "Pea" in decades!
I remember watching that SNL live and, even at 13 years old, I could feel the tension as I watched. I had no idea about the issues that created it at the time. It was bizarre to see. As far as One Hot Minute, I actually enjoyed it. Many of my friends (no pun) were really upset with the change of direction, though. The video for Aeroplane is what I remember most. It's a lot of fun to watch. My Friends will always be dear to me because I can still remember playing it on my acoustic guitar with ... well my Friends 😎.
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Awesome!
Howdy Professor - I believe this is my first post on your site. I must say, I am always pleased when I stop by. In particular, I want to give you a huge compliment for the DOA - Bloodrock episode. A cool, often forgotten, classic. Keep up the good work!!! And, a big thank you.
I am posting today because I really love the juxtaposition of the LP's you have in the background. As a practicing guitarist/bassist/musician, I was profoundly influenced by five of the six albums I can see. These are RUSH, Jefferson Star-Plane-Wheelchair, Gary Numan, The Police and the Guess Who. In particular, as a Jefferson Star-Plane-Wheelchair fanatic, I was impressed at how the Kantner driven version of the band was able to meld current music sounds and styles with his personal philosophy. You can probably include the KBC band in that grouping.
In fact, I have gone out of my way to see a version of the Guess Who (1982, Boulder, original bass player and drummer), RUSH (1982, with Rory Gallagher), The Police (1983, with UB-40), Gary Numan (2019-ish), and the Jefferson Star-Plane-Wheelchair in so many variations that I have lost count (1980-2021).
And, if I may suggest - Please do a show on the psychedelic tunes done by the GUESS WHO on their first four (odd) albums; Canned Wheat, Wheat Field Soul, American Woman, Share The Land, and Bannatyne all have some pretty "far out" tunes.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU and "coolness" to all of the bands you have showing. They profoundly influenced my life and music.
Thank you very much for the great shows. Clap For The Wolfman.
Cheers.....MC Malthus.
I hear My Friends somewhat often on the radio here in Oregon. Your videos are fire btw.
Hell yes, I remember this album. I was surprised to hear that it, evidently, “vanished.” The song “My Friends” is one of a handful of songs that will often randomly pop into my head. That and Aéroplane.
This album will always be my favorite Chili Peppers album. 'Walkabout', 'One Hot Minute', 'Shallow Be Thy Game' and 'Falling Into Grace' are all killer non-single tracks. I also love that super soft part and long build-up in 'One Big Mob'. Such a cool artistic choice in the middle of an otherwise high-energy song. This album and Dave Navarro deserve way more love than they get.
Also don't forget the b-sides, I would even swap One Big Mob for Stretch or Let's Make Evil (the latter has such a sick groove)
@@Georgeirfx Oooh I love One Big Mob though!
Falling into Grace is an incredible song.
@@SkySplitterInk Not a bad song (I believe this album has none of them), but I think every b-side is better, I am surprised they couldn't fit them in since many of their albums are longer (15-17 songs instead of 13)
@@Georgeirfx Sure, I like One Big Mob better than any of the outtakes though personally. Its got crazy energy.
Your daily writing is so impressive Adam, humbling as a fellow writer.
As soon as I saw the title of the video I turned to my teenager and said “he’s going to talk about ‘One Hot Minute.’” It was a great album and you did a great video! You can tell you’ve read Scar Tissue as well. Well done!
I’ll always feel sad that they didn’t make a second record with Dave 😞
Yeah, but then one hot minute would not be so special (or so appropriately titled!)
Some things are just fated.
My memories of this album is when I was deployed in UAE and my friend, Zack, a RHCP fan, thought the album was a strange departure from their past. But he eventually liked the album over time, Friends and Airplane were contagious songs. We also thought the inner picture of the band was hilarious. I don't know if the inner picture was meant to be funny, but it appeared Flea just pleased his bandmates and popped up for the picture with a happy grin on his face.
I remember this album and really enjoyed it! It amazes me how much of a difference in sound a single member can make. I figured that it's obscurity these days was due to Jon's resentment of it... suspicion confirmed haha... well done video good sir.
Great video
I wish John would play my friends. The band had to keep going all of those times he left. He owes it to them. Those songs are too good to be hidden forever
It's not only their "darkest" album, as some suggest, but the song "Walkabout" is actually one of their lightest and funkiest songs. It's a bit weird that they apparently don't play that one live.
Just out of interest what do you think is their darkest album? Or do you just feel its not the right word to describe it? X
@@joemartin224 chili peppers 'darkest' album haha
Love the guitar on that tune.
This album defined the band as worthy whilst I was at college. Heavy rotation for me and my friends. I deejayed a set at our leavers ball and blasted 'My Friends' as my final goodbye track. Since that night, whenever I hear the song I hear the voices of my fellows singing "I love all of you" What a moment.
Love the channel prof, keep it up👍🏻
My friends is a song I had to learn as a teenager and I'm glad I did cause I have made a lot of people cry playing this song. So many people can relate to the song and it always pulls on the heart strings
One Hot Minute is criminally underappreciated. Such an amazing album. I put it right behind Mother's Milk in my top RHCP albums.
Love your channel!! Could you please take a look at the Moody Blues "core 7" albums. They truly are the best run of any band in regards to pure "start to finish" album listens. Back when you listened to albums. The Moody Blues (like Pink Floyd) took you on a journey, every time. They took you up they brought you down, they'd plant your feet back on the ground....
They and The Pretty Things started off R&B bands and changed their sound every album. Both bands have great influence on me. Both bands influenced so many bands since.
See my Moody Blues video, it's something special.
Finally got to see John with the band on the first date of this tour in Denver. It was absolutely magical and everything I’ve been waiting over a decade for
Good shit & I believe it needs to be on my stereo right now...
You bring across the nostalgic beauty of great rock bands as if you were having a beer with an old friend.
These were some of the greatest hits!
Oblivious to most of the drama, One Hot Minute has _always_ been my favorite peppers album.
Which glasses are those you are wearing on the Zenni optical shop? I have searched the whole website over and over again I can't find them.
Great video. I've just been contrasting and comparing unlimited love and one hot minute. I love Navarro's work and I'm really enjoying fruciante's work and harmonies being back in the band. Loved californicaton too but was always a big fan of one hot minute. Chad is a huge influence for me as a teacher and musician. Love every member.
