This album is must complete album reaction. This came out in the summer as I was starting high school, it changed my life. Nothing that has come out before it has sounded like this, It was before grunge hit and frankly it’s much cooler than grunge. This album ended crappy 80s music.

I'm a huge phat bass fan, and Flea fits that bill perfectly. I'm happy to say my son took to the bass like a duck to water, he actually learned by listening to Entwistle on repeat. I'm even happier to say when he was 9 he, on his own, picked out the RHCP's Californication CD for my Mother's Day gift. One of my proudest moments as a mother :)

Agree 100% with the need to hear the bass playing of Jaco Pastorius. Killed in a bar fight at the young age of 35, I challenge anyone to find any professional bassist who does not list Jaco as one of his top 2 or 3 influences, even 35 years later after his tragic death. His bass playing is so unique, it doesn't sound like bass you have ever heard from any other bass player.

This album 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' along with Rage Against The Machine's stunning debut, literally turned me into a bass player in the 90s. These bands basically incorporated soul funk into alternate rock in the gnarliest way possible.

[@maceomaceo11]

Blood Sugar Sex Magic is RHCP at their zenith. They'd been around for almost a decade at that point, been through more band and personal turmoil than necessary, had matured enough for the song writing to evolve, still had a boat load of agression and attitude and were fully committed as a group to make the best music they could. Throw in Rick Rubin and a haunted Hollywood mansion that they lived in as the studio and you end up with a genre defining epic album. John Frusciante (barely 21 years old at the time) is THE star of this record and all guitar players should study it intensely. The tones, technique, imagination, touch and flat out balls are mind boggling. You can see how it all unfolded in the documentary about the making of the album, Funky Monks. Worth a Patreon watch consideration.

[@centuryrox]

What I've always liked about RHCP is that they combine 1970s funk (my era) with 1990s style rock. What results is a very unique, and cool, music product that never feels dated.

Next RHCP's song has to be "Under the Bridge;" the lyrics were originally from a poem Anthony Keidis wrote about the alienation and isolation he experienced while recovering from his heroin addiction. Great guitar, great bass, poignant vocals/lyrics. This is an absolute must hear song.

[@nournjeim]

I love the Chili Peppers..one of my favourite bands! ❤ Their evolution throughout the years has been amazing. They started out more punk rock/rap rock/funk with their first four albums. Then Blood Sugar Sex Magik was the stepping stone into RHCP 2.0. The funkiest hardcore shit. The next album was with a different guitarist and had a darker tone (fitting with the 90s grunge era). Then John Frusciante, their guitarist on album 4 and 5 came back and yet a new era was born with their next three albums together. They've become mature and so many songs have the most beautiful melodies and backing vocals♡ but there are also so many funky & foot stomping & groovy songs too! So many of their non mainstream songs are just gems and worth the listen! I'd go for these songs for reaction videos instead of the most famous ones.

[@kencoleman5007]

It's said that Flea plays the bass like a lead guitar. Similarly, Keith Strickland (B-52's) plays the lead guitar like it's a bass.

I don't mind Jaco or Flea winning a poll about bass, but do not pass on "Add It Up" as a song. It is an S Tier song of the 80s in the same class as three you know--Tunnel of Love, Ashes to Ashes, Spirit of Radio. It's that good.

You guys nailed this reaction. Everything you said. This is a very cool song, from a very cool band. From a very cool album. The only thing you failed to see is the genius of John Frusciante, but that wasn't really on display here.
