ABSOLUTE BANGER!!..Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside REACTION

[@fatimasoares7261]

Love this band! "Scar tissue", "By the way", "Soul to squeeze" and "The zephyr song" are amazing songs by them.

[@Shrykespeare]

So many favorites to choose from. I would add "Dani California", "Under the Bridge", "My Friends", and "Behind the Sun". Also, "Higher Ground", a cover of Stevie Wonder's hit.

[@wheresatari668]

Yeah and RHCP have so many others to choose from, too.

There was a small club in Hollywood a few years back that probably held 100 at the very most. It was his gigantic line that was literally about a three or four block. Nothing on the signs or anything about who was performing period story got passed down to me cuz I wasn't around but I was a reputable source. People had heard it was the Chili Peppers they were coming back to one of the first clubs they ever played. At the end of the day it really was the chili peppers and the concert was free to anybody that could get in. This was before I was around but somewhere around mid-90s. Thought the story was dope how they were giving back to the community. Everybody couldn't get in like I said so they set up speakers outside and played with a permit I guess they had already got just in case. Too cool.

[@richardhargrave6082]

I love this band, superb, love the reaction. So many more tracks down this rabbit hole to go for!

[@CondescendingOaf]

The funny thig is, there are a lot of people who do not like Anthony's voice. They say he can't sing in tune. I wouldn't know, I'm not a singer or musician. Personally I've always liked his voice, it's unique and sometimes, IMHO, that's what makes a singer better. I've been listening to them since the 90's - starting with their "Mothers Milk" album - which if I remember correctly was their fourth album. (Thanks Phil, for introducing me.) 👍😁

[@arashi75m]

Live he gets off pitch quite often but he has such a unique voice and has great energy. Love RHCP personally

[@cindyshawver9986]

I agree.....i love his voice because it ISN'T perfect and is so unique !!!.....it's calming yet exciting !!....LOL

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Yeah, Anthony is one of those people I'd refer to as a "vocalist" and a "front man" more than I would call him a "singer." He's improved over the years (or they've gotten fancier with the studio trickery in the years since "Under the Bridge" taught them that slow tunes sell records to a larger audience) but, even so, I'd still categorize what he's doing as "talk-singing" more than actual singing. That's not to take away from what RHCP do. His sound is part of their sound and it all works together. And, as you said, his voice is unique and that's part of the appeal. I started listening to them around the same time you did. I mean, I actually first heard them about the time of The Uplift Mofo Party Plan but didn't really get fully onboard until Mother's Milk. Later, I absolutely wore Bloodsugarsexmagick out playing it over and over and over. Personally, I prefer Anthony's rappier cadences than his vocals on their slower tunes but it's all good. I mean, there's a reason they've stuck around this long, yeah?

[@riteousrighthand6144]

That is what Dave Grohl was talking about, in that interview he did, where he said he was tired of singers trying to emulate others, instead of finding thier own voice.

[@lordessducky8494]

I absolutely love his voice. Like you say , it’s unique.

Blackie Dammett, also known as John Kiedis, father to Red Hot Chili Peppers' frontman Anthony Kiedis, passed away May 12th 2021 at the age of 81. Dammett had been struggling with dementia for several years before his passing. Dammett, was an actor, wild man, and his son's biggest fan. My prayers go with you and your family

[@layyah0905]

Their concert at the Slane Castle concert doing Californication live with John and Fleas intro jam is a sort of religious experience. Also "Can't stop" from the same concert is crazy brilliant

[@johnmaynardable]

I'm glad you feel we have helped you two grow, but the growth was all yours. You are lovely souls.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Like many of the band's later day songs, this is about Drug addiction, as Kiedis has a history with relapsing into Heroin addiction. His best friend (and fellow Red Hot Chili Pepper, guitarist) Hillel Slovak died of Heroin and Kiedis always said that Hillel should kick his ass if he ever relapses. That is what "otherside" is about. "Hillel, I need you kick my ass again because I fucked up once again." Yeah, you guys should react to some Hillel-era songs. - "Fight like a brave" - "Out in LA" - "Mommy, where's daddy?" - "Me and my friends"

[@jillmayer9501]

Important to note that Anthony has been clean for over 20 years now. Glad he's still here

[@futurereflections4097]

Such a common tragedy in rock. Happens way too often. A lot of these rock legends are able to make such powerful music because their mental state is not ok. Too often leads to their demise.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

@@futurereflections4097 That's one of those things we all know intellectually just from living through a lot of those losses but it really gets driven home emotionally whenever I realize how often the answer to Jay and Amber's question "Are these guys still touring?" has to be answered with, "No, sadly [music legend] died young of [substance] abuse."

Anthony Kiedis has amazing control of both his timbre and range. Resonatingly haunting and yet silky smooth.

Anthony Kiedas is an every dude. He's relatable, his talent isn't his voice specifically, it's the way he uses it. He is shamelessly emotional. The song Brothers Cup is a great mission statement kind of song. His and Flea's friends and friendships make them what they are. They have so many fun and deep songs, Flea's work is epic every time. Chad is an utter professional, bless the John's.

[@terriwilbanks9748]

The song is about Heroin addiction. Doesn't believe it's bad. Tries to fight it but always goes back. So addicted he'll have to take it on the otherside. Really a sad song.

Anthony Kiedis (vocals) & Michael 'Flea' Balzary (bass) originally formed RHCP in the early 80's in L.A. They wanted to fuse rock, 70's funk, 70's punk rock, jazz & psychedelic music ...

My nephew was just old enough to start getting into rock bands. He had me go to his bedroom to listen to his favorite band it was the The Red Hot Chili Peppers. They will always remind me of him. ❤️ He was killed 30 years ago in a car wreck at the age of 16. He was walking to school when some friends from school picked him up. And about a mile up the mountain road the driver dropped something, reached to pick it up and drove in the lane of a utility vehicle. It ran over the top of the car and killed all 4 kids instantly. Sorry this is where this band takes me.

I too love that Amber is enjoying rock more and more. If you're looking for another 90s band to listen to, look into 311. They have a ton of hits that I think you both would enjoy - "Down" is an early hit of theirs, also love "Beautiful Disaster", "Love Song" and "Amber" which I think Amber would love!

[@nzmarco]

I love how this song repeats itself but gradually becomes more instrumental as it progresses.

[@marydodsonmt]

Fun thing to look for on rewatch: This video begins and ends in the same place. At the beginning, the guy has just had his crash landing, then the ambulance comes and takes him to the hospital, then as he goes under the anesthesia, he flashes back to the events that led to his fall. I usually regard a music video has something separate from a song, but in this case, the video and the song are inextricably interwoven in my mind, so that I can't think about one without the other. It's one of my favorite videos ever! I'm not a visual art expert, but I recognize the influence of several artists in the video's aesthetic, such as M.C. Escher, Rene Magritte, and Edward Gorey. I'd like to put in my votes for reactions to "Under the Bridge" and "Dani California," if you haven't done them yet.
