You can hear in this song the elements of at least three songs that will later be on Hillel's debut RHCP album Freaky Styley: Jungle Man, Freaky Styley, and Yertle the Turtle. Hillel was the best.
The sound of hillel guitar is rhcp soul i know most people now john fruciante he is the perfect guitar player after hillel die but , this sound is the real rhcp even john had a little of it in the mother milk , bssm era
Having learned and covered a lot of RHCP songs in the past, I’m scratching my head wondering how I’m just now hearing this for the first time! That guitar work is phenomenal... I’m going to have to work this out!
@@nathanielparker6259 i believe he’s playing the a, d, and g string on the 5th fret harmonic and d, g, and b string on the 7th fret harmonic. i cant figure out how to get that tone though, could be a wah pressed fully down maybe?
So Funky it hurts whoa..damn..feeling this..good job..RIP dude..this so hard and melodic..I Hate Drugs..such a Lie and Destroyer...good peeps bad peeps they destroy.
My interpretation of the lyrics: Sometimes Every night and every day Sweet-tooth's away Like a fever dream But thats okay Talk to puncture chemicals anyway And when I sleep, and when I sleep There is no up or down There is no gravity Come lose your place (in the) river Anyone let us anytime I can, I can see the light Crushing we're all unified Maybe your love is a hit song I'll try to find, I'll form each thought I'll tip on tongue Say that you're a small fish Soaked into the wave of a stormed ocean The flow is all we need to keep I'll breathe every emotion Come lose your place (in the) river Anyone let us anytime I can, I can see the light Crushing we're all unified Distance is all an illusion Like the distance from soul to mind Like the distance from space To mankind Seems from my head, I get my strength All I can keep up is a mountain range And meeting to get (to) know your lips Which I can flow Come lose your place (in the) river Anyone let us anytime I can, I can see the light Crushing we're all unified Idk how accurate these are, but since I've been trying to learn this on guitar by ear I though i'd try the lyrics too. some parts in the song are clearer than others, but i hope this helps some people or something idk.
Thanks to Alain's vocals I think the second line of the last chorus is: "Never, never say die" Still trying to decipher what the last line of that chorus is, it sounds slightly different from previous ones!
They really don't sound alike. This song perhaps, but the stuff with video clips is more like fairly conventional 80's rock/pop, in its own unique way.
The bassist here was Flea , not Chris Hutchinson . This was a demo . And for the record , Was Alain who thaught to Flea in Jack´s house for the battle of the bands. Its better talk with the people in first person.
Tbf, both Anthony and Flea have said it was Hillel who taught him, so it is not strange people say this. I really wish the RHCP would make some tracks with Alain some day. It would be awesome, without a doubt.
I wrote a message to Alain Johannes some time ago. He confirmed the line-up from the video description [Alain Johannes, Hillel Slovak, Jack Irons and Chris Hutchinson]. Some fans had doubts if Hillel actually sang the main vocals. Yes, it was him!
There are literally microtones on this track. I'm not thinking of harmonics. I am thinking microtones. If you know what to listen for, you will hear them.
A fan with the nickname "Nerkon" published this b-sides songs from What is this? in the Eleven page (mundoeleven). I've been fan from Alain, Eleven, Jack long time ago. It was weird for me that nobody publish the songs. When the guy from Cali Theatro sessions, Greathest Hits publish many demos in the forum Stadium Arcadium, i told him i have this b-sides, for exchange more demo songs. There is another one called Haitian Bro where Alain sings and Flea plays bass (there is another version in the E.P from ex girlfriend's Hillel: Addie Brik)
Jungleman & Behind the Sun.
I love Hillel.

That is not their debut album.
@@rlokos2462 but It was Hillel debut with The Chilis, also guitar tone in this Song Is the same as Freaky Styley
@@rlokos2462
I didn't say it was, genius. I said it was Hillel's debut RHCP album.
It was the first RHCP ALBUM he was on, but he was previously on their 1983 Demo.
@@Brokenface Hillel Slovak previously played on RHCP's 1983 Demo.

Did you figure it out? I'm struggling to figure out how. I think I've got the right tone, but still can't figure out what he's playing
@@nathanielparker6259 i believe he’s playing the a, d, and g string on the 5th fret harmonic and d, g, and b string on the 7th fret harmonic. i cant figure out how to get that tone though, could be a wah pressed fully down maybe?
@@flylvr5918 I think there is some chorus involved as well. Not as much as normal, but I definitely hear it
I love Hillel's voice!!
Just love this song...it shows just what's it was all about in that era: simple, straight, deep, groovy...awesome!!!
I Love this Chorus on his guitar! Hillel forever!
Alain Johannes... such a genius
Mathías Peralta He is from Chile
The bass kind of sounds like Jungle Man by RHCP
Well he was a part rhcp in freaky styley
But this was earlier "what is this"
So Funky it hurts whoa..damn..feeling this..good job..RIP dude..this so hard and melodic..I Hate Drugs..such a Lie and Destroyer...good peeps bad peeps they destroy.
My interpretation of the lyrics:
Sometimes
Every night and every day
Sweet-tooth's away
Like a fever dream
But thats okay
Talk to puncture chemicals anyway
And when I sleep, and when I sleep
There is no up or down
There is no gravity
Come lose your place (in the) river
Anyone let us anytime
I can, I can see the light
Crushing we're all unified
Maybe your love is a hit song
I'll try to find, I'll form each thought
I'll tip on tongue
Say that you're a small fish
Soaked into the wave of a stormed ocean
The flow is all we need to keep
I'll breathe every emotion
Come lose your place (in the) river
Anyone let us anytime
I can, I can see the light
Crushing we're all unified
Distance is all an illusion
Like the distance from soul to mind
Like the distance from space
To mankind
Seems from my head, I get my strength
All I can keep up is a mountain range
And meeting to get (to) know your lips
Which I can flow
Come lose your place (in the) river
Anyone let us anytime
I can, I can see the light
Crushing we're all unified
Idk how accurate these are, but since I've been trying to learn this on guitar by ear I though i'd try the lyrics too. some parts in the song are clearer than others, but i hope this helps some people or something idk.
thank you!
did you succeed to do it on your guitar?
Every night and every day
Seem to pass away
Like a freight train
Thanks to Alain's vocals I think the second line of the last chorus is:
"Never, never say die"
Still trying to decipher what the last line of that chorus is, it sounds slightly different from previous ones!
I think this should be released in an album. And I really wanted to learn how to play this song on my electric guitar
Great. Sounds a little bit like *Gang Of Four* and *Bush Tetras* .
it's amazing how similar Anthym/What Is This sounds to early RHCP, yet it all makes sense as both groups shared the key members
They really don't sound alike. This song perhaps, but the stuff with video clips is more like fairly conventional 80's rock/pop, in its own unique way.
Elliot Sharp meets Adrian Belew meets David Bowie (kindvf).
I believe that this was on an early-career singles b-sides compilation called "What Is It?" that I had a CD copy of back in the '90s
...but this might be an alternate take of the track that is on that album
this is really crazy stuff
The bassist here was Flea , not Chris Hutchinson . This was a demo . And for the record , Was Alain who thaught to Flea in Jack´s house for the battle of the bands. Its better talk with the people in first person.
Wrong, I played bass on both Flow versions.
@@clhutch61 Do you have the other version of this track? I've only seen it listed on a Test Pressing of the self titled LP
Good to know this, hillel's brothers said that it's not Hillel here, im sure he suffer somekind of amnesia
Tbf, both Anthony and Flea have said it was Hillel who taught him, so it is not strange people say this.

Nice bass-guitar sounds and dark singing. Hearing some "Yertle" guitarplay at the end....
Anyone else getting huge HUUGE led zeppelin four sticks vibe from the song… especially melodically
Hillel has a very unique sound. It seems as if he takes an approach utilizing microtones (at least on this track). Very interesting.
There are literally 0 microtones on this track. You might be thinking of harmonics.

XTC meets Talking Heads and Television.
Woah! Sounds a bit like Mark Sandman (Morphine)
Thank you!
Dope
This is sick reminds me of some modest mouse
Omg yes
This reminds me of some The Police b-side.
Cool af

how did you get this?

I have been listening to this a lot. Where did you find it?????? This is amazing!!!
Way cooler than RHCP
Organic Anti-Beat Box Band bass? :o
Not even close.
How can I obtain this song or record
holy shit toxic tone
can anyone understand these lyrics? he sings so low & quiet; can't make out chorus either. can someone print the lyrics? appreciate it!
What is this was way better than rhcp in every way .
Tab?
play along to it. that's the most fun way to learn it
@@dementedmidget05 how are you just gonna play it to learn it when you don’t know how to play it yet
A lot like Behind the Sun
lyrics
I dont like t rhcp. The music just doesn't do it for me. This sounds cooler..
+skyflowers RHCP is very better than WIT.
RHCP are a subject of the Mandela Effect. Some folk are swear they released a good album once.
You and the 5 people who like your comment have only heard 5 RHCP songs ...These guys have 11 incredible albums ..
I like both
