FIRST TIME HEARING.. | Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside [Official Music Video] REACTION!

[@JennRighter]

‘Scar Tissue’ is my favorite RHCP song. Sorry, I love their old school stuff. But Scar Tissue is SUCH a beautiful song.

[@formxr]

Scar tissue intro is so beautiful. Always gets me.

[@npc5649]

thats true thats a good one for sure

[@JennRighter]

@ I’m aware of that. I’m saying many hardcore RHCP fans think their older stuff is better.

[@JennRighter]

@ also, sorry, that sounded like I was being a jerk lol. That’s not how I meant it at all. So weird how different typing is versus talking.

[@JennRighter]

@@formxr I love every single thing about that song. The intro, the forlorn guitar sounds, the lyrics, the chorus. It is just such a sad and beautiful song. “With the birds I share this lonely view” is just a beautiful line. Love it. And you’re right, it comes in strong (yet somehow soft at the same time).

[@voidwraithprime8521]

Their "Blood Sugar Sex Magic" album is a masterpiece.

[@TheClayCoKid]

Every song on the album is great!

[@danthemann4955]

Yes, my favorite album from them

[@warrensereda4782]

One of my all time favorite albums.

[@JustDavidK]

100% AGREED!!! BSSM!!!

[@babylonsister118]

My favorite also, but they have NEVER disappointed me.

[@gotsnogroovecheryl]

"In the book Scar Tissue, Anthony Kiedis explains that this song is about his drug addiction. The "slide" is how far he will get back into his drug addiction, since he would stop doing drugs for a time, then get right back into it. 'I don't believe it's bad' is a reference to how he doesn't regret doing drugs." The "Otherside" is thought to mean The Afterlife as well. "Otherside refers to former band member Hillel Slovak, who died of a heroin overdose in 1988. Marley Lenderman wrote this song." 🖤

Agree 👍🏻

[@Casey_Rickman]

Red got chili peppers - around the world is another great song

[@atonesb5251]

Check out some of the earlier hits off Blood Sugar Sex Magik (Suck My Kiss, Under the Bridge, Give It Away, etc). John Frusciante was like 21 and out of his mind on heroin writing the best guitar parts you've ever heard in your life.

[@amybudafulldisaster3646]

💨🌱💨 *yes*

[@JustDavidK]

Atone SB, you should see John’s live performance on the Dave Letterman show in ‘89, playing Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground!” That’s when I knew he entered legendary status! Mind-blowing performance!

[@bc9616]

I was scrolling through the comments just to see if anyone would mention Give It Away!

[@jasonfrost3693]

Flea up there workin them Power Lines!

[@Alicesdream17]

Anthony Keidis - I just love his voice - one of my favourite bands.

[@themagnificentwhiskerbiscuit]

I remember they would play this on the radio probably 40,000 times a day for over 10 years! But still a great song!😁

[@thetalantonx]

6:53 - "That was a tough one right there. That was a tough one to endure and try to explain." Yes. There's some facts to the song and the people responsible for making it, but the facts aren't the feeling or the journey. I really respect how you handled your reaction on this one. It's a tough song with a lot of deeply personal meaning for the band, as well as some more in your face stuff. Hanging back like you did gave room for everyone to let the song mean what it did to them.

[@aprilchoyce7588]

It's a deep one..if you choose to live dangerously you are basically living close to the other side.

[@mgfd.]

I can't see it right now! But later for sure!!! RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, MY FAVORITE BAND EVER

[@troy7141]

you should react to scar tissue, zephyr song, or soul to squeeze, tons of great songs from the chili peppers! ❤️🌶

[@Charsept]

I second this

[@bpfromowc]

Charsept I call your "second" , and raise you a Zephyr Song (live at Slane Castle). 🙂

[@mrebello77]

I think you'll like their cover of "Higher Ground." You should check out Stevie Wonder's version as well. Enjoying you vids tonight. Thanks!

[@JustDavidK]

Yes, yes, yes!!! But from the live performance on Dave Letterman back in ‘89! ABSOLUTELY incredible performance! Especially by young John! That footage alone shows me why he’s such an epic legend!!!

[@I.am.Meo.]

@craig 22 I think they listen to a lot of the same stuff, because those videos aren't strict on their copyrights. They can lose their whole channel if they get hit by videos who report them for infringement. Rules always seem to get in the way of fun, don't they? LOL

[@colonelwatts]

I reckon this is one of the last RHCP songs he should listen to tbh. So many better ones!

[@kenn.alexander]

The best thing about this channel is that it shows when older people say the music used to be better, it really was.

[@nodnoc]

Please react to Foo Fighters - "Everlong"

[@TheChick24]

My hero is also a great one!

[@biancarobinson4373]

Reckon it’s about Anthony’s addiction and questioning if death is the only way out. One of my all time faves.

[@carolmetzler1476]

RHCP are my all time favorite band ! Their music is such deeply felt poetry. It always makes me think and talks about everything they have been through . I have seen them in concert too many times to count . Basically since the early ‘80’s. I brought my oldest daughter for her birthday as her first concert when she was 12. She fell in love with them as well. We have seen them together every year since ‘99.

[@crystalfreeman6913]

Please do Red Hot Chili Peppers ‘Scar Tissue’

Try their "Give it away" song. It won't disappoint...fun fact about this group, when they started out, there was a performance where all each of them was wearing was a sock,..I will let you figure out where the sock was placed.,...they have always been a trip.

[@sombergirl2886]

“How long, how long will I slide? Separate my side, I don't I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat it's all I ever I heard your voice through a photograph I thought it up and brought up the past Once you know you can never go back I gotta take it on the other side Centuries are what it meant to me A cemetery where I marry the sea Stranger things could never change my mind I gotta take it on the other side Take it on the other side Take it on, take it on How long, how long will I slide? Separate my side, I don't I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat it's all I ever Pour my life into a paper cup The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts She wants to know, am I still a slut? I've got to take it on the other side A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed A candidate for a soul mate bled Push the trigger and pull the thread I gotta take it on the other side Take it on the other side Take it on Take it on How long, how long will I slide? Separate my side, I don't I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat it's all I ever Turn me on, take me for a hard ride Burn me out, leave me on the other side I yell and tell it that it's not my friend I tear it down, I tear it down And then it's born again How long, how long will I slide? Separate my side, I don't I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat it's all I ever How long, I don't, I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat it's all I ever” Source: LyricFind

That's a powerful and catchy chorus after 21 years I still love it, it's a dark song about his addiction but it's so good, he beat it and came out of the otherside.

prolly not the song to introduce RHCP. I would go with give it away or soul to squeeze or suck my kiss. So many great songs by them. One of my fav groups

[@stevelubbehusen5842]

I love FLEA pulling on them bass strings...... great visual of him caught in the telephone wires....

[@marikka9347]

As to imagery, it looks like the guy on the lines is playing a guitar or bass, in this case I think it is Flea, so a bass. It looks like the guitarist is playing some kind of line or rope (a different or opposite representation of a bass and guitar than many other bands would do [bass has many lines, but guitar has one]) and the drummer is playing a clock. The main character (not the singer) is dealing with a lot of things happening to him, whether those things are self-inflicted, outside induced or imagined, the person usually sees it as happening to them, not because of them. He gets thrown down, gets back up, pushed back down, rises above again and then everything seems to be conspiring to take him down again. I may be wrong, but the character seems to be playing out an external version of an internal process. Anthony is singing in a stark world and his voice is front and center in the mix, almost laying on top of the instrumentals rather than blending into it. This places emphasis on the lyrics and the delivery of them. It is very melancholy, direct and a bit lifeless (intentionally I think, not a criticism at least). I think it is another way to show/explain the feelings they grapple with while internally fighting against the addiction (themselves). Sometimes winning and sometimes losing, but in the end trying to get to the right side, wherever that may be at that moment.
