Flea's speech was some of the most humble, honest & heartfelt words I've ever heard spoken. Wow... I'm literally still shaking my head about it. Huh... Yeah, I don't know... that was something'...
@@HRHMANSOUR you might want to research that a bit better. That wasn’t Flea. But at the end of the day River chose to ingest drugs. There’s no guaranteed safety in that and accidents happen. Everyone involved in that day was devastated and probably a big part of why they’re sober now.
It always amazes me how Flea outwardly radiates this image of a badass, but at the same time is such a gentle, compassionate, humble and emotional guy. I can only imagine what it must feel like for them to have had such a special, deep relationship for so many years.
Aw dude.... that's the sweetest fucken thing. Makes me wanna cry a little (obviously I didn't, cos I'm all tough and shit, but if I wasn't I woulda cried...)
EVERY SINGLE ONE of these guys are absolute LEGENDS! One of the greatest bands of all time HANDS DOWN! I completely understand that everyone has opinions, but that my friends, is simply a fact. Also, it is very very VERY rare to hear someone as good on bass as Flea is. ALWAYS look forward to RHC new art to be released, like the ancient Greek myth of the Kraken!
It's a shame they didn't want him to stick around to be their second guitarist with John back, the guitar tracks would've been phenomenal, but I understand why Josh would rather leave things as is and not make a fuss.
Awww man...Josh's shy smile and body language while Anthony mentiones him melts my heart.💔 He looks such a sensitive and fragile boy. I wish him nothing but the very best and success. He is truly capable of doing incredible things. To me, Josh's exit and John's return is sum up as 'The Verve' song name: a bitter sweet symphony.
I feel exactly same, song you mentioned sums it's perfectly. Josh had incredible hard task to follow Frusciante footsteps and he done it incredibly well in his own style. When the time comes he basically stepped away without complaining. Josh is a type of dude you always want to have on your side - who show's up and do what is expected from him without being a jackass, very talented but same time humble person. He was the first and obvious choice playing already back guitar on on Stadium Arcadium tour. Even with Frusciante being most influential and recognizable guitarist for RHCP Klinghoffer earned well deserved respect.
@@happytime2781 It was just a coincidence that he was playing the second guitar at stadium arcadium tour. Their second guitarist couldn't play at the show (I don't remember why), and Josh was just with the band on the tour, as a friend of them, just hanging out, and they just chose him to replace their second guitarist. I read it on an interview before some time, I don't have a link, but I am sure you will find it if you search it. Also, suddenly Josh didn't get all the respect he deserves, because he is not frusciante, even though he created great music, in my opinion, many of the songs he was part of, are of the best songs the band has written. As you both said.. it's a bitter sweet symphony. :(
Josh is a great guitarist and definitely held his own, but he was just holding Fusciante's spot; RHCP is where John belongs. Josh is young, and I'm sure that was mentioned when they told him no speeches for you, you didn't pay your dues; you can't come into a band headed for the HOF, make ... what 2 albums with them and slip on into the Hall of Fame. What's his face, who played on "One Hot Minute", wasn't there either.
I always felt Joshs sound level was not high enough, I'm not a musician, but thats what I hear every time I hear him play. Am I dreaming or what?@@happytime2781
Thanks so much for your sincere love and support for our music this shows your a strong die hard fan...your special..Have you been to any of our shows?
Flea is the greatest. Hes seen some shit, he's held this whole thing and the people in it together through unimaginable ill health & tragedy, he raised his daughter in it and he's remained so humble, gracious and eager to keep learning and growing and moving with childlike passion and so much love for music, creative process, people and life in general. I fucking love that guy.
I just saw a concert of RHCP from 2023 here on youtube and than I found this video here. I really spent the best night this year with only these two videos. Since the 90´s I´m a RHCP fan and their music helped me a lot when I had personal crisises during my life. Thanks RHCP for existing and I hope you will make more music for the next decades. Love you! Cheers from Acapulco.
@@Gcssdvnkloiutesc Makes sense. I love how Chad is the most colorful character of the drummer bunch but he's also the most technically savvy; his style kept evolving throughout the decades and sounds timeless. Jack and Cliff play the same way they did during the 80s; not bad per se but their styles do stick out of the modern lineup's chemistry.
I love what flea said about being lost in the moment. When everything is flowing and free. It's an out of body experience. It's attainable in any situation regardless of our lives or opportunities. Been a chef, been a Sous Chef. I love you. I feel you.
Anthony is an old school hype man who just happens to have written some great songs. He has never claimed to be a “real” singer. He brought the energy to the group along with flea. I love how he doesn’t hide his musical shortcomings and his humanity. That’s why I still love the chilis 32 years after I first heard them. It’s a brotherhood thing, they made us all feel like we were a part of the band. I mean this whole thing is all about love. They ditched a whole bunch of good musicians simply because the chemistry wasn’t right. That tells me all I need to know about them.
@@stevefleming356 Frusciante didn't want to come. Navarro wasn't invited I think, but he's more Janes Addiction than he is Chili Peppers, so that kinda makes sense I guess. OHM was still great though.

Nothing happens by coincidence!!!!!!!!!!!You are loved❤️🙏🌹Very much and so happy for all of you!!!!!!!! You know I truly love all of you!!!!!!!!!!! And im So Very Happy and Proud of all of you! ❤️Kathie
So happy John is back with this group. They play so well together, but if you get the honor of those 4 performing live in front of you, that’s an absolute banger of a show!
Still, kinda sad that they won't play anything from the albums they did with Josh ever again. There's some solid stuff there. Frusciante would have to put his ego aside for it to happen.
12:35 I sometimes hear people say they don't understand why people love Flea's bass playing, etc. I think it's more than any mere instrument that draws them to him. He seems so genuine, and I think he embodies something transcendent the cuts across the whole of music, and many genres. I find both him, and his playing to be immensely inspiring.
As a bassist, I understand the minutes, hours, years and decades he has spent honing his craft. He is incredibly talented and has a firm grasp on music theory, he blends traditional playing with funky slapping. He makes it look easy but it isn't. Every note he plays has a purpose to serve the song and marries together well
It's good to revisit the RHCP's induction ceremony. I saw them live in Hawaii twice when I was younger. Mother's Milk is one of my favorite all-time classics. Thank you for the music!
What I like most about Flea is that he can be the most lovely person on earth, an absolutely special soul, and 10 minutes later he unleash the beast and be like this: 25:57
I got into these guys when BSSM came out so the lineup for me will forever be "Anthony, Flea, Chad, and John" but over the years I have loved a lot of their songs, and even a few from the newer albums have found their way into my heart. I especially like *The Getaway* , that is a TRULY under-rated album and a massive source of hits for a band so far into their career. Sick Love and Dark Necessities are killer tracks. Goodbye Angels is also killer,... amazing melody, killer pulsing outro, sick beats...just wonderful. But I'm biased on that one because I saw them live on that tour (where the colored candles were waving and pulsing over the crowd, trippy AF - see the video if you don't know what I mean) and it brings back really fond memories.... plus the girl in that video is a knockout, lol. Bands like RHCP make me feel young again. Long tenured bands like Metallica, U2, Guns N Roses, The Cure and Iron Maiden, I mean 70s and 80s bands that still tour, couldn't even DREAM of putting out an album 35 years into their careers and having THREE, not one, not two, but THREE hit songs on such an album, yet RHCP did it with ease and are still churning, dudes are all 50+ and still cool and relevant AF. Respect.
Flea.... My man..... Hit me right in the heart brother. Wow moved me to tears because like so many what he said hit me and I felt that in my soul. Congrats RHCP
They are one of those unique great bands that have such a distinct sound. Just like all the greats have sounded throughout history. And That’s why the Chilis can be mentioned among the greats.
That was the most amazing yet chaotic crazy most coolest ending of an inductee band I've ever seen! Chad is a beast on drums flea is just crazy good in his style. If only theyd let Slash do a solo he would have just blown the roof off the place!!!!🤩🤩🤩
3:47 this is absolutely 100% accurate and right on! Nowadays we are seriously missing a lot of music like this, within the field of Rock and Heavy Metal music.
These is whats called real music ladies and gentlemen. Love u RHCP... thank u for the many years of awesome music!! I grew up on RHCP amd now my daughters are 15 and 13 and they are huge fans. Cant wait to take them to see the chillies in concert soon.
Flea's philosophy is an example of Arthur Schopenhauer's theory of art - that the experience of art is a momentary forgetting of self. His performance after sharing his story of playing in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and tribute to his friends including fans, gave me an increased appreciation for their music. Because, as is conveyed in the video - It's all music; with the understanding that you may not like the song that's on, and similarly - that there is an order to communication that helps us make unity in multiplicity.
Фли и бас гитара- это синергия. Душа, тело эмоции. Одно целое. Инструмент отражает весь, тот огонь и взрыв . Всё то , о чем он переживает.Я не знаю английский язык, но я чувствую каждую ноту, в каждой песне. И бас гитара, барабаны, соло гитара и вокал.....все вместе сливается в мелодию души. Спасибо Вам за такую музыку. Всём Большой Привет из России!!!
If he was so great, he would have mentioned Jack Sherman, who carried the band on their first album and grueling tour and who cowrote the songs on their first two albums.
Eddie Van Halen would be proud. Thank you Flea for the rhythm creation…Chad for a great driving cadence….but John Frusciante brought it home with a super solo and tribute to the greatest guitarist in Rock n Roll. Thank you…..”Eddie”
I love RHCP & Give it Away is probably one of my absolute favourite songs of theirs. Listening to Give it Away with THREE drummers up there -- you get a whole new appreciation for the precision these remarkable musicians have. It's an extraordinary level of talent to be in-synch with your bandmates on an average day with your current line-up -- but to have two other drummers there performing this song *with* them & to hear the professionalism and the fact that they're up there just dripping wet from natural, unadulterated RAW TALENT is 110% the reason they should've been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame *years* ago. These guys are freaking incredible!
What an awesome performance. I remember when i was 16 i picked up the blood sugar sex magix album just because i thought the cover looked funky and boy was i blown away . And I am talking about 1993 in some small town in India where we didn't have MTV and stuff lol. They have been one of my fav bands.
I can't believe I've never seen this! This Give it Away was one of the coolest things ever!!! So much fun!!!! Also, I love how we can clearly hear Slash's guitar among all of them. ❤️
Damn...I just became a fan of this amazing group for a month! I was about 30 years too late to recognize their albums but thx to my sisters. I got ur respect RHCP!! YAAAAASSSS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
Amazing! I'm so glad there is a full video because everyone always says how they never Thanked Dave and Chad did. Now I see why Aks dad was upset about Aks speech because they really cut out a lot.
@@manicman2410 curious but cautious too. There's a reason they were unreleased at the time Kid A, Amnesiac released. But it's Radiohead - those geniuses could surprise us again
@@alloyrocker definitely geniuses, I became a fan right about the time they released their last album, so I've never got to experience a new release from them besides the couple of singles and Thom yorkes solo work, as well as Daniel Stashkin (idr how to spell his last name) on UA-cam. It's been hell waiting on them, but I got faith in them
Imagine being the backup guitarist of one of the most successful rock acts for nearly 10 years, and then being the primary guitarist of the same act and helping it survive for another 10 years, only to be relegated back to a backup guitarist again, I mean that would be super humiliating. It could have only been justified if Josh was retained in the Peppers as a primary guitarist alongside John. But I doubt if John would feel comfortable with that.
Mother's Milk is my favorite album from these amazing musicians. My first introduction to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. These guys are a part of my history as a man who is 53. Can I get a Hell Yeah for "Sexy Mexican Maid"!
When someone ask me what "magnetic attraction" is for me, i just say "Red Hot Chili Peppers". No need to argue about charisma, great music, great individualities, talent and so on, it's all mixed here, in this group ...
When John's in the band he creates hits and memorable songs. Can't wait to hear what he's written for the new album and to hear his guitar playing sgain
I remember seeing RHCP play all the big summer concerts and Flea in all the crazy costumes. At the time I had only played a few percussion instruments and never learned about real music or how to read it. And that was back in middle school. Sitting there rotting away in front of a tv set I would just enjoy the feeling and energy. I hate that I’m such a tool when it came to names of bands and band members even though I loved the music I heard. I just enjoyed it. I still can’t read music, but I did get the chance to learn how to play bass a bit and a very little guitar. I even jammed out with some of my coworkers and worked part time running sound for local bands and a few bigger groups that didn’t travel with there own large scale production. I really hooked up a drummer who only played in a Gstring while the lead singer played a chainsaw and cut up a wooden stool mid song… he had no sticks and every store in town was closed. We actually thought we were gonna have to go get wood dowels from the hardware store… I brought every stick I had on the drum set I had at home got him and he not only gave me his favorite crash symbol, which had a giant crack that gave him the perfect sound compared to anything he could get new. I never made money doing that job, it was normally just enough to cover my tab for the weekend. I did get the memories and a different type of live for music. To this day, Flea is a huge inspiration to me. After I started to learn to play a bit I heard the music differently. All the sudden lead and rhythm instruments started clicking different in my head and that’s when I looked back at Flea and realized he was playing a bass and it sounded like he was playing lead and the guitars where the rhythm. Such a funky sound and man you could see him lose himself in the feeling and almost revert to a primal state that I swear seemed to only ever improve his sound. I went off the rails one time while playing but while it made for a cool entry into a song as soon as the drums jumped in I would get drowned out. I was enlisted on active duty USAF, and my paycheck kept my amp pretty small. The other 2 guys has been playing most of there lives so I knew I was just a stand in until they found better or got stationed elsewhere(which is what happened). A guy that was my instructor while learning my career field became a friend and then teacher again when he had me start playing bass. The same man that got me involved in sound work and introducing me to countless other musicians and friends. While Flea will always be my Bass hero, Big John is another. I miss you man, rest in peace. -from a perfectly normal sized dude name John that thanks to your giant butt was only ever referred to as little John… lol! I love you man. Maybe one of these days I’ll get a bass a Coors lite and just jam out with you. Yep, my meds kicked in and I’ve wrote another monologue…. I need to stop getting online just before my pills kick in.
Congratulations Rhcp son maestros de la improvisation, y lo demostraron con esta version de Higher ground, que tantos guitarheros armonicen bien es dificil
Only thing missing was John.I've been a fan since Hillel but I have to admit my favorite Chili's is Mothers Milk and Blood Sugar.I remember being in Grad School when Blood Sugar came out and blew my mind and took me six months to learn all the songs on guitar. John is a VERY underrated guitarist.
@SmokingCausesLungCancer I do know what it is.When you say to someone do you like the chili peppers they say yes or no they don't say oh the Chili peppers with that awesome guitarist John.That's what I mean in my opinion he should be a household name or close to it.Zepplin-Page AC DC Young- and so on.
@@slipswitch John isnt underated, thats is Josh, I can point you at least 10 people who doesnt like him while John is probably their favorite one... come on
That’s crazy, slash and flea grew up together. Imagine if they had started a band together. Mind blowing. Also loved the higher ground jam sesh. A bunch of legends ..and for some reason Green Day guy.
@@moreblack Nope. Beverly Hills HighSchool. I knew a girl who was classmates with him. 3 people on that stage went to Fairfax High School. I went to j.r. high school with Slash ( Bancroft jr. High School) though we didn't know each other we knew the same people. Slash i believe also for a short time went to B.H.H.S. . Hope that helped.
one of many many wrongs the RRHOF has committed, with a good amount of blame to be aimed squarely at the band. 1. Josh should NOT have been inducted, given his short, unremarkable stint in the band (at the time, they had released almost no music with him) 2. Dave should DEF have been inducted - One Hot Minute plus the soundtrack singles = huge part of the band's story 3. Pearl Jam - Dave A and Jack Irons should DEF have been inducted - of the songs PJ played at the ceremony, none of them were from the Matt Cameron era. He's a great musician and deserved to be honored, but realistically, VS and Vitalogy (for Dave A) and No Code and Yield (For Jack Irons) are more important albums, with bigger hits, than anything Matt has done and likely will ever do with the band 4. Guns n Roses/Kiss not allowed to have members in the bands for decades but Josh can after one hot minute...? But Grateful Dead had everyone, including backup singers and Robert Hunter, who didn't even play in the band (he wrote lyrics). 5. Speaking of, if Robert Hunter's in the hall, why not Bernie Taupin? No Bernie, no Elton John. Simple as that. 6. Fleetwood Mac treating their history/induction like gerrymandering. They cut Bob Welch out in the middle just to be assholes (the dude later killed himself, could've used this to keep his spirits up, perhaps...) 7. Speaking of, why the fuck is Stevie Nicks in twice? Her solo career amounts to one hit, and a few duets with the likes of Tom Petty...if you need women, there are plenty being ignored.
LOL....at their core...this is a funk band. Dave N is not a funk player. Hillel and John F are the core. Dave's contribution was with Janes Addiction not the RHCP.
@@Ireland831 Agreed, plenty of fans view Navarro, whilst an epic guitarist in his own right, as not a "real" chilli pepper, JF FTW!!! (also rest easy Hillel, the O.G 🤘)

Wow, Flea!
I’m so impressed with how heartfelt that speech was. Just awesome, and lovely to see.
GOD that was EPIC!!! What a treat to see!!! That performance of “Higher Ground” was absolutely amazing!!!
And here's to the only one who thinks that crap was good!!!! What a fricking joke!!👎💯
Im in tears!!!!!!!!!! What authentic, beautiful and amazing speeches!!!!!
You are meant to be where you are today!!!!!!!!!! You are all so very special to me! Nothing happens by coincidence!!!!!!!!!!!You are loved❤️🙏🌹Very much and so happy for all of you!!!!!!!! You know I truly love all of you!!!!!!!!!!! And im So Very Happy and Proud of all of you! ❤️Kathie

This performance was epic! OMG my mouth is on the floor as to who popped up on stage. Literally, AMAZING!
So happy John is back with this group. They play so well together, but if you get the honor of those 4 performing live in front of you, that’s an absolute banger of a show!
If only it was still 2009, not a big fan of what frusciantes recent work at all
Even if it means we must get rid of josh, even josh himself said that John belonged in the chili peppers.
Still, kinda sad that they won't play anything from the albums they did with Josh ever again. There's some solid stuff there. Frusciante would have to put his ego aside for it to happen.
@@augart89 thanks for your honesty opinions and support trust I would but am not all by myself....thanks for being the real fan.🌹🙏
@@Julian-um2om I still appreciate and love your honest feedback and reviews your the real fan🤘
I bumped into flea on a hiking trail, it was surreal!!
I hope you had the chance to talk a little at least :)
WHOA! 👀

I sometimes hear people say they don't understand why people love Flea's bass playing, etc. I think it's more than any mere instrument that draws them to him. He seems so genuine, and I think he embodies something transcendent the cuts across the whole of music, and many genres. I find both him, and his playing to be immensely inspiring.
Yeah yeah that's true
As a bassist, I understand the minutes, hours, years and decades he has spent honing his craft. He is incredibly talented and has a firm grasp on music theory, he blends traditional playing with funky slapping. He makes it look easy but it isn't. Every note he plays has a purpose to serve the song and marries together well
I started listening to red hot chilli peppers in the 90s because of flea
Those people probably haven’t seen him live, I have never seen the bass lead the band before but Flea can and does and it’s amazing
The dude literally performed butt ass naked at Woodstock 99. Fucking legend.
It's good to revisit the RHCP's induction ceremony. I saw them live in Hawaii twice when I was younger. Mother's Milk is one of my favorite all-time classics. Thank you for the music!
Mothers Milk is the shit!!
What I like most about Flea is that he can be the most lovely person on earth, an absolutely special soul, and 10 minutes later he unleash the beast and be like this: 25:57
It was good to see Josh there. He did an incredible job while in the band. Great material, and great live as well.
Looking at 2021.
This is an incredible performance.
I love RHCP.
Higher Ground with all the GOATs on the stage. So clean it gives me goosebumps
Very cool that the two former drummers and Chad all played together. Awesome!
I got into these guys when BSSM came out so the lineup for me will forever be "Anthony, Flea, Chad, and John" but over the years I have loved a lot of their songs, and even a few from the newer albums have found their way into my heart. I especially like *The Getaway* , that is a TRULY under-rated album and a massive source of hits for a band so far into their career. Sick Love and Dark Necessities are killer tracks. Goodbye Angels is also killer,... amazing melody, killer pulsing outro, sick beats...just wonderful. But I'm biased on that one because I saw them live on that tour (where the colored candles were waving and pulsing over the crowd, trippy AF - see the video if you don't know what I mean) and it brings back really fond memories.... plus the girl in that video is a knockout, lol. Bands like RHCP make me feel young again.
Long tenured bands like Metallica, U2, Guns N Roses, The Cure and Iron Maiden, I mean 70s and 80s bands that still tour, couldn't even DREAM of putting out an album 35 years into their careers and having THREE, not one, not two, but THREE hit songs on such an album, yet RHCP did it with ease and are still churning, dudes are all 50+ and still cool and relevant AF. Respect.
Listening to Flea's speech let my tears flow. What a wonderful guy.
Flea.... My man..... Hit me right in the heart brother. Wow moved me to tears because like so many what he said hit me and I felt that in my soul. Congrats RHCP
God I love this band! You can tell its them from the first note, even if you never heard the song before, their sound is so personal.
They are one of those unique great bands that have such a distinct sound. Just like all the greats have sounded throughout history. And That’s why the Chilis can be mentioned among the greats.
Flea making a pause to honour John warms my heart 🧡
That was the most amazing yet chaotic crazy most coolest ending of an inductee band I've ever seen! Chad is a beast on drums flea is just crazy good in his style. If only theyd let Slash do a solo he would have just blown the roof off the place!!!!🤩🤩🤩
3:47 this is absolutely 100% accurate and right on! Nowadays we are seriously missing a lot of music like this, within the field of Rock and Heavy Metal music.
These is whats called real music ladies and gentlemen. Love u RHCP... thank u for the many years of awesome music!! I grew up on RHCP amd now my daughters are 15 and 13 and they are huge fans. Cant wait to take them to see the chillies in concert soon.
I seen them during their Stadium Arcadium Tour and they were funk/rock perfection.
Flea's philosophy is an example of Arthur Schopenhauer's theory of art - that the experience of art is a momentary forgetting of self. His performance after sharing his story of playing in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and tribute to his friends including fans, gave me an increased appreciation for their music. Because, as is conveyed in the video - It's all music; with the understanding that you may not like the song that's on, and similarly - that there is an order to communication that helps us make unity in multiplicity.
Фли и бас гитара- это синергия. Душа, тело эмоции. Одно целое. Инструмент отражает весь, тот огонь и взрыв . Всё то , о чем он переживает.Я не знаю английский язык, но я чувствую каждую ноту, в каждой песне. И бас гитара, барабаны, соло гитара и вокал.....все вместе сливается в мелодию души. Спасибо Вам за такую музыку. Всём Большой Привет из России!!!
Ronnie Wood.
Fun Fact: Josh is the youngest Hall of Fame inductee ever!!! Ever
Flea is just an incredible human being.
Meh.
nice fentanyl patch btw
Yes is!!!
If he was so great, he would have mentioned Jack Sherman, who carried the band on their first album and grueling tour and who cowrote the songs on their first two albums.
@@machinelanguage5108 "Carried the band"? I don't think so
When I was a kid I had a Slash poster. Since then I’ve aged but Slash looks exactly the same. He must be a vampire.
Who says alcohol and drugs can get you older? 🤣
dude, no joke, even when I met him back in Australia a few years back he looked almsot as you've said, the clothing looks like it aged worse than him.
The line up for Higher Ground is the band we have always needed.

@@thomasedmundrichards xdddddd
@Tony just chilling
Eddie Van Halen would be proud. Thank you Flea for the rhythm creation…Chad for a great driving cadence….but John Frusciante brought it home with a super solo and tribute to the greatest guitarist in Rock n Roll. Thank you…..”Eddie”
This is my FAVORITE group right here. They are so hip hop to me. I'm too proud of them. 😊 ❤ 🇹🇹 🇺🇸
I love RHCP & Give it Away is probably one of my absolute favourite songs of theirs. Listening to Give it Away with THREE drummers up there -- you get a whole new appreciation for the precision these remarkable musicians have. It's an extraordinary level of talent to be in-synch with your bandmates on an average day with your current line-up -- but to have two other drummers there performing this song *with* them & to hear the professionalism and the fact that they're up there just dripping wet from natural, unadulterated RAW TALENT is 110% the reason they should've been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame *years* ago. These guys are freaking incredible!
Whoa....Flea and Anthony's speeches were powerful stuff.
you should read their books, some unreal shit right there
I love them both so much. I'd love to get stoned with flea. I'd be laughing for hours i bet 🤣
@@p1roncho they had awesome liver!
@@p1roncho they had some awesome lives! Especially Anthony he got to hang out at the rainbow as a kid and meet rockstars!
@@no1nestandsalone387 yeah but coming at what price-saving his dad every now and then from getting beaten up
That last song, all that wonderfull musicians! Man thanks for upload this video! RHCP FOR LIFE!
God blass RHCP 🙏❤🙏
RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS WhoTF wasnt on that stage . What an absolute honour and PRIVILEGE to see !!!! WOW THANK YOU 65 yrs young and im ALIVE XXX
RHCP e Slash amei ver eles juntos , sou muito fã🤩🎸😍
Flea's speech is simply one of the best RRHoF speeches ever.
What an awesome performance. I remember when i was 16 i picked up the blood sugar sex magix album just because i thought the cover looked funky and boy was i blown away . And I am talking about 1993 in some small town in India where we didn't have MTV and stuff lol. They have been one of my fav bands.
respect
Its so cool that good music can reach so far. If music is good it will find its way to the people. Glad it found you.
You picked a good one
God protect Flea, what a beautiful human being.
He made my cry. He IS a beautiful soul.
You are right it is the example of how appearance matters nothing
I can't believe I've never seen this! This Give it Away was one of the coolest things ever!!! So much fun!!!! Also, I love how we can clearly hear Slash's guitar among all of them. ❤️
Thank you guys for showing us how it’s done
Damn...I just became a fan of this amazing group for a month! I was about 30 years too late to recognize their albums but thx to my sisters. I got ur respect RHCP!! YAAAAASSSS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
❤
Better late than never :).
Welcome to the party, brother!☮️♾♥️
Amazing! I'm so glad there is a full video because everyone always says how they never Thanked Dave and Chad did. Now I see why Aks dad was upset about Aks speech because they really cut out a lot.
Kiedis shouts out Dave and Arik Marshall in higher ground during the jam
Can't believe I will finally see my heroes with their best ever line up next year 😍
The return of RHCP and Frusciante fuck yeaa
You excited for the new Radiohead album coming out November?
@@manicman2410 curious but cautious too. There's a reason they were unreleased at the time Kid A, Amnesiac released. But it's Radiohead - those geniuses could surprise us again
@@alloyrocker definitely geniuses, I became a fan right about the time they released their last album, so I've never got to experience a new release from them besides the couple of singles and Thom yorkes solo work, as well as Daniel Stashkin (idr how to spell his last name) on UA-cam. It's been hell waiting on them, but I got faith in them
Me too, just secured tickets to their upcomung tour!
Can't wait!
One of the best performances of josh. Usually his tone has way more treble in it. (could be the live soundboard) but it sounds great here.
Well done James Slovak for receiving Hillel's award. Hillel's guitar sound hasn't changed
glad to hear all the Love for Hillel Slovak, such a great musician
Man, that ending with Josh flicking the amp switch off was BADASS! Gonna miss this guy in the Peppers.
Agreed.
they should of just kept him in the band
@@Mikey_Darko I doubt John's ego would allow it
Is not a backup guitarist anymore.....
Imagine being the backup guitarist of one of the most successful rock acts for nearly 10 years, and then being the primary guitarist of the same act and helping it survive for another 10 years, only to be relegated back to a backup guitarist again, I mean that would be super humiliating. It could have only been justified if Josh was retained in the Peppers as a primary guitarist alongside John. But I doubt if John would feel comfortable with that.
Flea is the man. RHCP deserve this accolade, the music and the lyrics come from a deep and real place. Inspiring.
The Peppers are so amazing and so full of ENERGY!! Love them guys!!
This is great to see all the G.O.A.Ts playing together 🔥🤘🏽
42:35 Billy using his acoustic to hit snare just awesome, well every being on that stage is awesome
*cymbal
crash cymbal
he's got literally nothing to do lmfao. his accoustic guitar wasnt even plugged
Las palabras de Flea y Anthony son muy bonitas, emotivas e inspiradoras, larga vida a los RHCP mi banda favorita
Si
Love the RHCP. Their speeches here gave me goosebumps. They came from the heart. 🇬🇧❤❤❤❤❤
NEVER seen anything like this! Watching masters of their craft here folks. 2024 and still the best rockers in town!!!
Fantastic show. See so many legends together in the same stage!!!
Mother's Milk is my favorite album from these amazing musicians. My first introduction to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. These guys are a part of my history as a man who is 53. Can I get a Hell Yeah for "Sexy Mexican Maid"!
"Pretty Little Ditty"
@@johnstjohn6658 Heck yeah!
Higher Ground sounds the way Stevie intended it. Fantastic!!!
The way josh walks off and flicks his amp off is cold. Love it
Slash's amp... which is even cooler because he was accenting the feedback with his trem work then cuts both with impeccable timing
@@kaelin7271 Thanks for this awesome comment! :)
When someone ask me what "magnetic attraction" is for me, i just say "Red Hot Chili Peppers".
No need to argue about charisma, great music, great individualities, talent and so on, it's all mixed here, in this group ...
I've been a fan of The Red Hot Chili Peppers ever since they came out. My now 24 year old son loves The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Flea thanking George Clinton warmed my heart.
Dr. Funkenstein was a huge influence for a lot of musicians over the years.
I believe them because they do keep making better music.
I love you guys!!!
When John's in the band he creates hits and memorable songs. Can't wait to hear what he's written for the new album and to hear his guitar playing sgain
Parents Basement facts
I have always adored Flea, and makes me admire him even more.
June 26 2022 London Olympic stadium, thank you for the unforgettable concert
I remember seeing RHCP play all the big summer concerts and Flea in all the crazy costumes. At the time I had only played a few percussion instruments and never learned about real music or how to read it. And that was back in middle school. Sitting there rotting away in front of a tv set I would just enjoy the feeling and energy. I hate that I’m such a tool when it came to names of bands and band members even though I loved the music I heard. I just enjoyed it. I still can’t read music, but I did get the chance to learn how to play bass a bit and a very little guitar. I even jammed out with some of my coworkers and worked part time running sound for local bands and a few bigger groups that didn’t travel with there own large scale production. I really hooked up a drummer who only played in a Gstring while the lead singer played a chainsaw and cut up a wooden stool mid song… he had no sticks and every store in town was closed. We actually thought we were gonna have to go get wood dowels from the hardware store… I brought every stick I had on the drum set I had at home got him and he not only gave me his favorite crash symbol, which had a giant crack that gave him the perfect sound compared to anything he could get new. I never made money doing that job, it was normally just enough to cover my tab for the weekend. I did get the memories and a different type of live for music. To this day, Flea is a huge inspiration to me. After I started to learn to play a bit I heard the music differently. All the sudden lead and rhythm instruments started clicking different in my head and that’s when I looked back at Flea and realized he was playing a bass and it sounded like he was playing lead and the guitars where the rhythm. Such a funky sound and man you could see him lose himself in the feeling and almost revert to a primal state that I swear seemed to only ever improve his sound. I went off the rails one time while playing but while it made for a cool entry into a song as soon as the drums jumped in I would get drowned out. I was enlisted on active duty USAF, and my paycheck kept my amp pretty small. The other 2 guys has been playing most of there lives so I knew I was just a stand in until they found better or got stationed elsewhere(which is what happened). A guy that was my instructor while learning my career field became a friend and then teacher again when he had me start playing bass. The same man that got me involved in sound work and introducing me to countless other musicians and friends. While Flea will always be my Bass hero, Big John is another. I miss you man, rest in peace. -from a perfectly normal sized dude name John that thanks to your giant butt was only ever referred to as little John… lol! I love you man. Maybe one of these days I’ll get a bass a Coors lite and just jam out with you. Yep, my meds kicked in and I’ve wrote another monologue…. I need to stop getting online just before my pills kick in.
Wow!!! Will never be able to express how much I love this! ❤️❤️❤️
I feel bad for your ears and whatever taste you might have.....
Congratulations
Rhcp son maestros de la improvisation,
y lo demostraron con esta version de Higher ground,
que tantos guitarheros armonicen bien es dificil
teniendo a Chad en la bateria, dificil que no vayan armonizados, increibleeeee
Una gran performance de unos grandes músicos.
Only thing missing was John.I've been a fan since Hillel but I have to admit my favorite Chili's is Mothers Milk and Blood Sugar.I remember being in Grad School when Blood Sugar came out and blew my mind and took me six months to learn all the songs on guitar. John is a VERY underrated guitarist.
Wtf haha. He’s not underrated at all. Do you even know the meaning of the word? He’s regarded as one of the best guitarist this generation.
@@slipswitch thank you
@SmokingCausesLungCancer I do know what it is.When you say to someone do you like the chili peppers they say yes or no they don't say oh the Chili peppers with that awesome guitarist John.That's what I mean in my opinion he should be a household name or close to it.Zepplin-Page AC DC Young- and so on.
John wasn't there because he chose not to be there. Guess he didn't care that much about it/them at the time.
@@slipswitch John isnt underated, thats is Josh, I can point you at least 10 people who doesnt like him while John is probably their favorite one... come on
I really wish John Frusciante was there cause when he went up to speak that place would’ve EXPLODED
Except that big jam would've never happened. John seems pretty primadona like, in that he won't play others songs,only his own
I love that Chad and Anthony are swaying together at the end of Flea's beautiful speech. 🙂
RHCP is the most unique rock band i know. From performance to appearance to style of music..
That’s crazy, slash and flea grew up together. Imagine if they had started a band together. Mind blowing.
Also loved the higher ground jam sesh. A bunch of legends ..and for some reason Green Day guy.
Lenny Kravitz went to the same high school too
@@moreblack Imagine that school man
@@moreblack Nope. Beverly Hills HighSchool. I knew a girl who was classmates with him. 3 people on that stage went to Fairfax High School. I went to j.r. high school with Slash ( Bancroft jr. High School) though we didn't know each other we knew the same people. Slash i believe also for a short time went to B.H.H.S. . Hope that helped.
Lol Green Day is in the RR HOF also
they lived down the same road for a bit
Its still messed up that Dave Navarro wasn't inducted with them. He was in the band for 7 years and played own some pretty big hits.
one of many many wrongs the RRHOF has committed, with a good amount of blame to be aimed squarely at the band.
1. Josh should NOT have been inducted, given his short, unremarkable stint in the band (at the time, they had released almost no music with him)
2. Dave should DEF have been inducted - One Hot Minute plus the soundtrack singles = huge part of the band's story
3. Pearl Jam - Dave A and Jack Irons should DEF have been inducted - of the songs PJ played at the ceremony, none of them were from the Matt Cameron era. He's a great musician and deserved to be honored, but realistically, VS and Vitalogy (for Dave A) and No Code and Yield (For Jack Irons) are more important albums, with bigger hits, than anything Matt has done and likely will ever do with the band
4. Guns n Roses/Kiss not allowed to have members in the bands for decades but Josh can after one hot minute...? But Grateful Dead had everyone, including backup singers and Robert Hunter, who didn't even play in the band (he wrote lyrics).
5. Speaking of, if Robert Hunter's in the hall, why not Bernie Taupin? No Bernie, no Elton John. Simple as that.
6. Fleetwood Mac treating their history/induction like gerrymandering. They cut Bob Welch out in the middle just to be assholes (the dude later killed himself, could've used this to keep his spirits up, perhaps...)
7. Speaking of, why the fuck is Stevie Nicks in twice? Her solo career amounts to one hit, and a few duets with the likes of Tom Petty...if you need women, there are plenty being ignored.
Yes, but more of a loss that JF wasn't with them, unfortunate timing, still, props to the dedication to Hillel, the o.g chilli pepper!
@@deweil647 Its all politics, watch what happened with Deep Purple (who were inducted only in 2016... what a joke!)
LOL....at their core...this is a funk band. Dave N is not a funk player. Hillel and John F are the core. Dave's contribution was with Janes Addiction not the RHCP.
@@Ireland831 Agreed, plenty of fans view Navarro, whilst an epic guitarist in his own right, as not a "real" chilli pepper, JF FTW!!! (also rest easy Hillel, the O.G 🤘)
Flea nearly made me cry man! Beautiful man. Damn!
God bless brother. . .
Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world 💕🥰
U too buddy
