Chad Smith At Guitar Center

[@ia5662]

This is why Chad is so awesome, not just his natural talent, but his massively respectable humility and his appreciation of all kinds of music that came before him. I want to have a beer with Chad Smith.

[@adammoore1910]

I come from a family of music. Won't get into the details, bands, etc... But! Music hit a few people in my dad's side including him all at the age of 5 where they picked up their first instrument and complicated difficult to play horns and others... They kept that one solo instrument for life and were true professionals with that instrument but because of the pure natural born musical talent and flawless musical rhythm that allowed them to naturally be able to pick up drum sticks, piano, guitar, bass, etc... Because music notes was their second language before age ten, that opens up knowing how to play many other common instruments needing only a couple hours to get used to using that particular item. This all was picked up by me genetically I'm sure becshse I've absolutely loved a huge number of genres... Because I can spot true talent and something special when I hear it. Rock, metal, pop, jazz, electronica, drum and base, trance, house, dub Step, two step, even classic country, modern country, Golden oldies, folk, hillbilly, rap, hip hop and R&B I can tell you with every genre when I hear legit talent and not manufactured bullshit like Taylor swift, Britney Spears, and all those ultra famous ultra rich mega stars that dominate the most popular radio stations, TV, completely get most girls from elementary school to college to go nuts fur them plus a few million other unsuspecting people like the 36 year old over weight pc game nerd or the high school jock. It's a secret thing about those iconic pop star girls music people don't realize. The basic beat in the background is a very special type of beat that can be used to Basically open your subconscious ears and allow for subliminal messages to enter and be absorbed into your mind. Like a ticking Mechanism a hypnotist uses. There's proven science behind this unique beat that is simply high hat snair and bass drum. It's very basic and is incorporated into just about every single mainstream song that ever gets repeated on the radio... They open up the door in your mind with the beat then after about 30 seconds into the song they use a mixture of words places very carefully between other words, choruses and beats and it tells you to do things you don't even realize like go shopping for certain industry items, watch certain things on TV, subscribe to certain trends and social habits, they even were suspected of placing messages that say thigh gap is the only way you'll be loved, skinny is pretty, fat is ugly, you'll never have a husband or life if you're fat. They subliminally tell girls skinny skinny skinny over and over and then say bad fat bad fat over and over. It's not OK to make skinny girls feel powerful through subliminal messages and tell overweight girls they are ugly and wrong and unwanted. I mean, it's not ok to be fat, it's not natural. It's very unhealthy and the reason is disliked visually is because men have human desires and are attracted to females in a certain way that our human instincts dictate in many ways. Those being just the right amount of hips, just the right curves and butt and breasts... When a female is physically healthy and the way a Female human is supposed to be according to nature, then most guys are going to notice her and like it. For the most part men dislike an obese female and it's okay. Shaming fat is wrong psychologically but at the same time telling young girls that are overweight to be happy and love their body and s accept who they are is bad bad bad... How much will it take to make parents and others to realize that you are just telling them its okay to be obese, at risk for diabetes or have diabetes, risk for heart disease, weak joints, excess skin if they lose weight, emotional issues and so on. Being fat is already hard so they dknt need extra torment from people but this society trend of acceptance of fat, real skinny, identifying as no Gender or identify as both gender or some third...hey whatver if you chose it out of your own imagination and it has no effect on others then nobody can tell you what To do but when it's influencing teens just becshse they think it's cool and makes them different then that's a problem for real. If you're male legally without sex Change, guess what, you're a male and males use the men's restroom as do females with the women's restroom. These new cultural trends labeled serious life changes and how one identifies for life are just trends and a social societal thing that isn't some newly developed human genetic thing now..it's temporary and trendy so young people need to know that and take things lightly and be allowed to develop naturally without too much of one influence

[@Mayhemzz]

I could listen to Chad just jam for hours.

[@austinrmoser]

[@basi-vega35]

The most heartfelt,genuine interview about drumming and drummer I've ever seen. Love it.

[@ddrum121]

chad smith, you inspire me to start a band, like right fucking now.

[@felixguitar1108]

Did you start one

[@decoleco1234]

That's why I love music. No matter what age you are, you can still embellish yourself in your passion.

[@jungy9001]

Chads getting so old man. I'm gonna miss him when he's gone. My favorite drummer ever.

[@panzerken]

+Meat God Weathered

[@abethedrummer]

+TheMrMisterG you mean 96?

[@jerva245]

You must be 14 or something. Jeeez.

[@Kabirdix]

Mate, he's what, 54? You're jumping the gun a bit there

[@vishnuram1372]

Bruh he isnt 91 hes 57

[@AH.111]

It's not just Chad's playing that makes me love him, that fucking snare drum is the best thing ever. My dream right now is to save up and buy Chad Smith's Signature Snare. By far one of the greatest drummers of all time.

[@mikeforbes7189]

I was drumming for maybe 2 years, and i got to a stage where i felt like i was stuck. All drummers probably find themselves there at some point. So then i check out this genious on the hyde park album they did, and i wasnt stuck anymore :) love him so so so much. Any aspiring drummers out there could learn a great deal from this guy, i would love to go to one of his clinics..

[@sergiomozz2310]

I watched RHCP in Rio in 1999. I was there to see Frusciante and Flea, but this man stealed all my attention. He plays like an octpus. Class act, totally.

[@Morgan.iiiviix]

His drumming style is almost jazzy but funky at the same time.. so unique.. so Chad Smith.

[@JeremyMoar]

I love Chad's drumming, never too fancy, not boring either. He knows how to keep it tasty and keep it funky, and knows when to really dish it out live.

[@hugoloya1941]

At 10:58 he says he hopes someone picks up something he does. Before I watched this I remember watching on youtube his PASIC 2013 drum clinic and I picked up single pedal triplet bassdrum kicks from that. I thought that was cool that he related it back to that even if it was just a couple of seconds he talked about that.

[@patchworklive8929]

i met him at a clinic years ago probably the nicest guy i have ever met

[@j0kkis11]

There's only one word to describe Chad Smith: Legend!

[@annettekathleen]

Joakim Midteng Skaug yeeeeeesssss

[@oar5926]

I’m young enough to be his grandkid yet I’m inspired by the musicians that he was inspired by

[@JVW1225]

Chad smith will always be the best. I see him all the time at the baked potato with the meatbats. his grooves and personality he has with his kit and sound will always astonish me.

[@pablocruise678]

Chad again shows us why he is awesome.. as a human, goofball and drummer.

[@A-Oh-Trey]

Chad has spoken, I need to get up in a band.

[@mattgaynor7483]

what is getting up in a band ?

[@user-cq1ss3jy8i]

When Chad plays with RHCP he smiles from ear to ear, you can see it in him how passionate he is about what he does!

[@OffshoreOffice]

Nice interview. Rock on!

[@emlix1]

I love Chad. Really chilled style and he seems like a genuinely nice bloke as well.

[@dufussux]

i love how he says "i wanted drugs sex and rock n roll at 16"- most musicians would lie for the cameras and skip these parts out

[@MateroDelCaos]

I laughed so hard the second he turns back and bangs de s**t out of those drums...

[@mitchkincaid6680]

I had my headphones on and it scared the shit out of me

[@rodneylee4026]

When I was first learning my dad came home and said, "Is somebody building a battleship?" Hahaha

[@HotChiliGirlsBand]

He's really a great guy, so inspiring! Thank you Chad!

[@chepachem8351]

one of the grooviest drummers in the world.

[@alexa2496]

Totally inspiring chad is such a cool guy. Influence me when i first started playing and still now today Long live Chad Smith

[@thatdude7338]

After he mentioned going to a Cobham clinic, I can definitely hear the influence from drummers like that in Chad's style. The little accents on the snare and the way he starts and ends fills and such.

[@milleniumfalconer7161]

Do anybody know which label of lipstick Chad uses?

[@rodneyharris1879]

Red Hot #5

[@mikehawk9461]

Millenium Falconer The same one your mom uses

[@joshmrrandom]

Literally talking about Chad yesterday

[@Champion56521]

Derek Vigil I was scrolling down then I saw all caps then I relized he is a douchbag

[@DrumsAndMetal]

My dad literally just walked over to the couch where I'm sitting and handed me the guitar center catalog with him on it.

[@due_2477]

one of the coolest guys in rock

[@agusbaradi]

Este tipo esta de la cabeza, como te quiero Chad!

[@markyncole]

The Will Ferrell joke has gotten old and yet people still think their the 1st to say it. It's said by someone on just about EVERY RHCP/Chad Smith video. Try commenting on Will Ferrell videos by saying "Chad Smith is hilarious!"? See if people get it?

[@lmfs4032]

markyncole they won’t bc they’re dumb!

[@DavidOakesMusic]

The thing is Chad is a much better musician AND Comedian. Will Ferrell is awful at both.

[@jakekronin526]

I love you chad

[@trac6]

"I've been in band since i was elven years old. And i'm 96 (serious face)." haha! that was funny. Chad Smith is not only a drummer, but an all around personality.

[@maylertoniolo]

I don't dig RHCP very much, but hearing Chad saying these things... I respect him a lot

[@michaelallen1930]

Fuckin badass drummer

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

STILL SOUNDING GOOD CHAD - CARLOS GUITARLOS

[@Mikimikey]

The share is awesome !

[@stillsthrills6268]

I really like your drumming skills.

[@JohnnyBeatz20]

The bit about billy cobham was class, a lifetime legend is chad!!

[@leivabernie]

Whoever mixed... Add some body to that snare bro.

[@SpaceSpud96]

+Bernie Leiva the snare sounds like shit right xD

[@romanchaikovskyi2537]

well, Smith likes it that way

[@ACARY13106]

I was thinking the same thing. the mix sounded terrible on the whole kit it would have sounded better raw

[@davidleiva940]

hey Bernie, nice surname :)

[@adamnesbitt11]

It's always the mix engineers fault... maybe capture more body at the recording stage or use a snare with more body.

[@unomikoshari2632]

"And I'm 96" god dammit this guy's funny

[@TRLarsen89]

yeh that was hilarious, and that first thing with the making noise. funny shit

[@thehoneypotmusic]

awesome dude and drummer

[@EcBaPr]

awesome groove. really identifiable feel and contributes a lot to the sound of chilli peppers...

[@vagvll]

Rhcp was the last live show I watched... it was so bad I am never going to another live show in my life.

[@andrewmanufc]

This man is a legend!

[@luctusvade]

+Austin Moser its not retarded if you dont like his music. its extremely retarded to not think hes a instrumental genius

[@Zm598]

oh my god that joke is not funny anymore

[@austinrmoser]

drummingxtreme sorry ik I was wrong to say he sucks, I just personally don't really like his music all that much, however I have started listening to more of it and I'm becoming to like his music more

[@SlippinJimmy22]

If anyone asked me to describe Chad while drumming it would be "The Man of Many Faces"

[@austinrmoser]

that's Lars Ulrich, he is hilarious when drumming

[@sampeake4235]

@@austinrmoser I was just about to say that

[@sampeake4235]

Also, why does someone mention Lars in every drum video I watch

[@austinrmoser]

@@sampeake4235 well I mean most of the time its because they are meming and making fun of him, not this time though

Chad been borrowing that st anger snare.

11:40 on, does anyone know where that's from? I've seen the drummer of Incubus play that same part in a live at Red Rocks DVD

[@retro_mando]

Eric John Music I think it's just a jazz style drum beat, its got kind of a "buddy rich" vibe to it, it may be from him i'm not sure, that's just the sort of vibe I felt when I heard it.

2:58 is exactly why shit isn't as "cool" as it used to be because we all have smartphones and can watch and see anything we want. It used to be you could only see music/sports when they came to your city or read about them in books and magazines. It was like these people were living legends and getting to see them was incredible.. Don't get me wrong I love the internet but it's ruined the "vibe" of seeing people live.
