Red Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe - Live at Slane Castle

[@MadLicha]

I was front and centre in the moshpit, fucking exhausted after all the bands before them (foo fighters, qotsa) so the entire RHCP set was just stunned amazement from start to finish. Each song was probably their best ever performance or near enough to it. John was possessed by something, and the others came along for the ride. Perfect sound, constant chills all over, the terrain of Slane is perfect, forming a natural amphitheater. No wind, amazing crowd. Such a chemistry between the band and crowd. No stupid phones or selfie taking idiots. The best gig of my life hands down.

[@andrewcarter671]

I got the DVD and have watched at least a hundred times but to be there must've been amazing.

[@NoticerOfficial]

I don’t think he even knows to this day what he did at this show

[@brunomartinello1114]

You gotta be kidding.. he is one of the best in all music history, but this solo was far from clean... and he got out of time/pace a few times. He started to play kinda perfectly at the end of the solo, when he went for the very high notes. But that's just my opinion.

[@lauragiurovich]

@@brunomartinello1114 as I grew up I stopped seeking perfection. ‘Out of time’ ‘pace’ I couldn’t even care less. I just want to listen raw human aliveness. My linear and prejudicial mind is not even there. I want something that makes my soul, heart and essence on fucking fire. I want to be completely absorbed in a trance so deep that when I open my eyes I ask myself ‘what the fuck am I doing?’. So, yes. I want artists to make a guitar have heart, eagerness and sexuality. Black rebel motorcycle club, white stripes, jack white, john, audioslave, pearl jam. That’s what I’m seeking. Non-linear minded people.

[@remytonino3397]

What I love about John so much during live performances is how he just zones out and proceeds to go bat shit crazy on the solos! Yeah they're not the best of the best in terms of technicality, but I'll be damned if someone tells me he doesn't pour his heart and soul into it!

[@TheSwagnostic]

Derek Collins Not being the best in terms of technicality could be said about 99% of guitarists. Very few, though, can play with such ineffable passion.

[@teejaymcdonald11]

+Derek Collins fuck technicality man! its not about showing what you can do technically with a guitar its about making sounds that people love & this solo's the definition of that!

[@slimkickens]

+teejaymcdonald11 word. you want technical proficiency? buy a goddamn French horn. guitar is about soul. part of what makes your soul are the mistakes you make and live with

[@Jeff4014]

Derek Collins this is totally incorrect! technicality doesn't give you what frusciante gave us in this solo , it is soul and a lot of respect for music

[@eduardocervantesaca]

I listen to this incredible solo and wonder what the perception was at the venue. During the actual concert you deal with the guys next to you, maybe youre not in the best spot to get the sound from the PA, maybe youre far from the stage or maybe youre close but youre trying to see the band because youre not that tall and it is difficult for you to see, well... al those things that happen during this kind of concert in an outdoor venue. The solo is fantastic, though. I will take this over Stairways recorded solo.
