I am currently doing the honorable task of cleaning my own flat (well, not RIGHT NOW since i am writing on this but you understand well that it is not done in 5 min and that pauses are needed!).
Anyway, i am listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers since this morning and it is giving me both energy and flash backs. Strangly enough, it is often because of some guys hehe or most of the time. And because they play half naken all the time.
I began to listen to them because of one crush when i was like 13 with of course Under the bridge as excuse. But then, i began to discover them more and more and i loved shouting One big mob OH YEAH OH YEAH! while driving my motorscooter on the east french roads. And don’t be confused, it IS appriopriate! Mob is the short version of Mobylette, which is the french ancestror of the motorscooter.
Incredible to think that on this vid, we can see a guy walking in the back and fixing things like it was nothing. 95, They were young and maybe not as “professional” as now? The sound is pretty bad though, hope you can listen to a good version sometimes!
I also loved to shout Pea of course, with all its forbidden words.
And who did not dance a long slow in beloved arms or cried because someone was missing on this:
John was fighting with his drugs problems at this time, that’s why Navarro is playing. But nice song, which did not become old imho, even if i don’t listen to it too much nowadays. And quite impressing to see Chad playing drums with one arm only.
Since i “took the train in march” for the Red Hot, i had to discover a posteri their album “blood sex sex magik” where my prolly fav song on there is breaking the girl. More for the melody than the lyrics, which is not common for me.
Then, it was 4 long years, living on old listening and growing with their funky groove. In 99, I got out the high school, got good grades on the exam and my dad offered me Californication. It made this whole summer of 99, i remember that it was the only thing i was listening too and got more than ever love in John and Flea. I was also into a nice relationship as this time and with birds i’ll share this lonely view was an usual sermon to my lucky summer.
Here you got a nice moment between John and Flea:
Some times later, when i was studying, “by the way” got out. I got totally stucked on Mercury. It was only a litle later in 2003 and 4 that i really enjoid this album as a whole and a lot of songs on it make me think on my time in Germany, when i was deeply, lucky and not in love with a boy.
this version of cabron is only to see Flea playing on a contra-bass:
Then, came Stadium arcadium out. The song If is my favo on there. But i did not listen that much on the whole album. I got
more in love with John only and his mervellous melodies. Isn’t our house mervellous btw? i love to skate when i want to hold a book in your library.
