Absolutely! Although Flea spoke highly of Josh you could tell he was missing his groove brother. I love this jam, I hope the new album has more of this vibe
I’ve played this probably 40 times now. I’d like to see a whole album with this kind of vibe. So late 80’s early 90’s chili peppers groove. Jams like this give my heart a reason to keep pumping.
Having frusciante back in the band is like having a dead loved one come back to life , absolutely magical! Also I can't wait for the new album to drop !!!!
True, simple and clear lyrics. THX to Flea, John Frusciante and the children’s choir from the Silverlake Conservatory Of Music directed by SJ Hasman for your educational work to the world and "Long live the Gang of Four, long live Andy Gill"!
This cover has a freaky Styley vibe to it, now I am not talking about the actual freaky styley song but atmosphere feels so familiar, sounds like they’re going back to their roots
WOW!! that was freaking awesome.fleas bass and johns guitaring(when they combine musically together-its like they morph into 1 incredible sound) are what ive missed when he left the band 2007.im so happy the 4 are back together.but at the same time i really enjoyed the music josh did with chad flea and anthony.i cant wait for the new album and all they have to offer in 2022
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer Okay, dood, we got it. Chill, Winston🧊 We’re happy you love Gang of Four but if you keep hammering this you’ll make the surviving members bum on you, too.
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer Have you heard the original? They rearranged/reworked it; they didn't keep a single riff the same as in the original. And It definitely sounds like old school RHCP.
@@gqirishlion1624 That's incorrect. Hendrix wasn't John's only inspo and that's not his only style. He was really inspired by Adrian Belew, Andy Gill, Johnny Marr and Pat Smear. And his work in Ataxia and his solo albums is more akin to punk/new wave/alternative guitar. The playing on Californication and By the Way is pretty far removed from Hendrix's approach as well. He's pretty different from the typical camp that emulates Hendrix. John Mayer, Eric Gales, and Philip Sayce fit that bill much better.
@@gqirishlion1624 "You know nothing about music" How calculated saying this to someone who acknowledges John's other influences. I've seen the video clip of John with his Hendrix record collection where he talks about his influence on him. That doesn't mean there aren't more sides to his playing. Also you don't have to be so mean.
Goes to show, like how best friends could not see or hear from each other for days,weeks , months , or decades and fall right back into that swing of friendship - John and Flea have a magical relationship that transcends time and space. I’m so stoked the fantastic 4 are back, but I think even Anthony and Chad would agree that what magic happens when flea and John start flowing, everyone listening just tune in and drop out. Oh and this track is funkin NASTY!!!!
oh so this was the song they were playing live once john joined again on the first appearance together video, i can see they changed the the guitar and bass lines
I wonder what guitar John is playin now. Maybe Josh gave him his old beat up strat back, like on the movie Hook where Rufio gives Peter Pan his sword when he returns.."you are the Fruciante"
RHCP bringing great grooves back. Gang of Four cover. Only RHCP could be so innovative with a cover of great punk band. Can't wait to hear the whole album! This is like a sweet nip slip ;)

So this is actually gonna be on the album?
@@goldmantis5850 no, he is talking about a colaborative album they just done with other artists. Not Chili Peppers.
@@Pedro-kn6tv oh I see
Would be fucking amazing if their new album sounded like the old stuff like this! 🙏🤘🏻
I can't wait to hear Anthony singing about California on this track
Agreed! Proud of him for exploring new lyrical territory :D
Or maybe Michigan if he’s in a super creative mood…
@@thesullivanstreetproject I literally had Especially In Michigan playing in my head when this showed up in my recommends
Don't be surprised if its Nashville or Austin though.
lol
Can we just appreciate that John is back and we'll soon have a whole album if not a double disc with new music ft John again
Yes. I think we can accommodate you on this one. lol.
YES!
I just hope it WILL be soon lol
i do appreciate
Tears of joy
I swear, Flea and John together makes something that transcends this dimension.
Absolutely! Although Flea spoke highly of Josh you could tell he was missing his groove brother. I love this jam, I hope the new album has more of this vibe
Lmao
I believe the red hot chili peppers were predetermined in space time years ago...
Flea and John still have the chemistry. And that's important. 👍
this.

You are giving us the answer: too old.
Red Hot Chili Peppers knows of no age music is infinite
John = Amazing. Flea = Amazing. John + Flea together = MAGICK.
Que ilusión me hace escuchar a estos fenómenos, no doy más por el hype del próximo disco!!!
Oh man, I've missed those two together!!!
Having frusciante back in the band is like having a dead loved one come back to life , absolutely magical! Also I can't wait for the new album to drop !!!!
Meu Deus que sonzera, groove puro e guitarra no melhor estilo das décadas passadas. Se vir umas pegadas assim n album será surreal.
Holy shit this is filthy. The real chili peppers is back. I was scared I'd never see it again in my life
Don't get carried away mush
I had the same tought
Back and repeat repeat repeat and repeating the same kind of song
@Jx Po it actually just took bringing john back..
its got the old rawness and simplicity.
OMG, John, my man is back funkier than ever? OMG, I really hope their new album will have their old funky vibes again!!!
Wow this sounds like their first 3 albums... I love it!!!!
Damn, Johns guitar sounds awesome.
as always
There's a The Crunge vibe to this one. Especially John's guitar work during the bridges.
Crunge?
@@nhayes927 Funky little Led Zeppelin song on Houses of the Holy.
i love that song
Good call
Thanks, gonna give it a listen
I had a blast. The old school of Peppers is back!!!
Is a cover
@@edybocman76 Guitar isnt the same has the original song, even the bass its diferent.
The way they play it makes me think of the mothers milk album
@@LeoV-37 still a cover.
John and Flea together again is a dream come true!

mal!! first albums are outstanding !
Well I think that's because early RHCP are influenced by Gang of Four.
Flea and John playing together again gives me eargasms.
That's got to be the cringiest word of the decade. Stop it!
WOW!! that was freaking awesome.fleas bass and johns guitaring(when they combine musically together-its like they morph into 1 incredible sound) are what ive missed when he left the band 2007.im so happy the 4 are back together.but at the same time i really enjoyed the music josh did with chad flea and anthony.i cant wait for the new album and all they have to offer in 2022
Hell Yeah ! That's Good Stuff.......... ! Born in the 60's & grew up on some Gang of Four !!! Thanks Guy's
RHCP line up back to the best. Looking forward to hearing new material with John back on guitar. He has undeniable chemistry with Flea
Maaaan! They're back! 🤟🏻
A great cover version of a great song - love Gang of Four, such an awesome band
If there's anything to live for. Its this.
YES.🤘✌️
why do rchp push covID?
Why can’t I turn this up to 11? This is so sick! This has freaky styley all over it.
Love love love
Yesss...when they play together, funk is getting to another level🤘🤘🤘
If this is real, I'm very happy. Whoever is doing this is really capturing the early RHCP spirit.
I heard Rick Rubin is back as well to control this 4 RING CIRCUS!!!!🙏✨✨✨✨💜💜💜💜🎧
Omg 😳 This track is so funky🤪 I love it.
A simple jam, but if the next album has any hint of this flavor to it, I would be incredibly pleased.
It's not a "jam" it's a cover of a Gang Of Four song. It's literally in the video title and description.
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer Okay, dood, we got it. Chill, Winston🧊
We’re happy you love Gang of Four but if you keep hammering this you’ll make the surviving members bum on you, too.
All it’s missing is Anthony singing like, “SIMIL-LOMA-DIMMA-ARMADILLO CALIFORNIA!”
0:19 reflexive smile 2:00 john electronic era 3:00 and that bass- so many musicale things happened in 3 minutes
This recording really makes me appreciate Chad Smith. Without him you're only Chili Peppers.
You do realise this isn’t RHCP
@@whufcjay73 Whoosh
@@whufcjay73 duh. It's CP...
Chad gives them that “OOMF!”
There would be thousands of drummers who could do a better job than Chad. He's good but not that good.
Wow, reminiscent of Mothers Milk era Chillis can even hear a bit of Hillel in there.
It's a Gang Of Four cover. Are this many people seriously not reading the description?

Great Gang of Four cover
That 80s punk funk vibe with balling out as hard as you can on the instrument
This is awesome, flea and John have that incredible alchemy which is so unique
U gay or summink?
They still have it after all these years. Great cover, i really enjoyed it
This is a Gang of Four cover.

FOR ALL THOSE IN THE COMMENTS: THIS IS A FUCKING COVER SONG FOR A TRIBUTE ALBUM, NOT A NEW SONG
Great cover of gang of four
Yes..can't waiiiiit :-) best thing happened in 2020..John is back and that is the real magic of the 4...RHCP

Last pic from their last show...Great!
This is needed.
Lo que esperábamos!!! Shake it shake it
Thank you

Divine duo!
This is probably the best cover of this song I've heard
Cover ??
Oh man I never woulda thought it was a cover
This is the only cover of this song I've ever heard....do you know of any other good ones? Gang of 4 is fire
the whole album is an old time classic from 1979, one of my favs ua-cam.com/video/kfC8UCik4Es/v-deo.html

Some people: bass is only for the background.
Flea: hold my bass
Ahora sii se alinearon los planetaaaass!!!
Ahora si olvídate!!😀👏
It is difficult to put into words just how important to each other these two musicians are.
めちゃくちゃかっこええな！
I LOVE THIS!
What a good quality sound
Cool a Gang of Four cover..nice choice.
Yesss! Наконец-то!☺😗
Yes!!!!!!!!
DUDE WHAAAAATTTTT!!! INSTANT CLASSIC!!
Now this is the RHCP we know and love. 😀
I wonder what guitar John is playin now. Maybe Josh gave him his old beat up strat back, like on the movie Hook where Rufio gives Peter Pan his sword when he returns.."you are the Fruciante"
Right On
They're covering a G.o.F. classic!!!
who?
@@undertoes Gang of Four
Omg, he is back my friends!!
Anthony has really taken his singing up a notch!
Hermosa !!!!! que barbaro
John is back!!!!
Pink peppers/the Red Hot Chili Floyd’s. Another brick in California. Love it 🤘🏻
FUNKYYY LOVE IT!!
I’m so ready to hear some new music from them. It’s gonna be killer.
RHCP bringing great grooves back. Gang of Four cover. Only RHCP could be so innovative with a cover of great punk band. Can't wait to hear the whole album! This is like a sweet nip slip ;)
Awesome
COOL! That sounds like some funky old-school Hillel ChiliPeppers... could be a track right off of "Freaky Styley"! I like it!! Give Me More!! (please)
Well, that woke me up.
