    For those that aren't very familiar with the Red Hot Chili Peppers background, the "best friend" that Anthony is talking about who died from a drug overdose was founding guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hillel Slovak. The guitarist who replaced him, John Frusciante, almost suffered the same fate after becoming a heroin addict and leaving the band after their breakthrough album 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik'. Next year will mark the band's 40th anniversary which is an incredible achievement when you look at all of the personal, professional and cultural changes that they've endured throughout the decades.

    My dad battled an addiction at a very very young age. He loved guitar,music and listening to meaning. He had me listen to “Under the Bridge” at a fairly young age (12-13)and taught me to listen to what was being said,not just sing or like the beat but really take it in. I’ve had such a great appreciation for music bc of my dad. He would have me listen to a couple verses then stop it and ask me about what I thought it meant and then he would tell me what it was while again digging into what’s being said. He passed at 48 and back when “Other side”came out it was a song we both loved right away. Anytime I hear it I cry, few songs that do that to me. From Red Hot Chili Peppers to Janis Joplin to Peter Frampton to Creed I mean all over the place. Love ya Dad 💚

    Anthony's description of drug use and addiction is so unique in comparison to most other celebrities and rock stars. No glamorizing or self pity. Just a plethora of adjectives and phrases spawned from blatant honesty, a humble perspective, and an education from life never to be learned in any school. I'm glad he took that opportunity to make it back...and the rest of the band as well. ~correction: R.I.P. Hillel~

    Yea dude - it's unreal - 30 years later I still get goose bumps out of "under the bridge" and all the connections in my neurons it establishes. Like it's wiring everything about my own "dragon ride" together and the stuff runs like a movie in front of my imaginary self, every effing time I hear this song. The most crazy thing about it, is that fact, that it is a warm feeling, though it should be scary. It's a warm feeling with a particular type of bitterness in it. Just enough bitterness to make it perfect. To me it's the definition of "melancholy", if that makes sense. It is same kind of "joy" hearing to songs like "perfect day - lou reed" or "brown sugar - the stranglers". It is really weird and beautiful and I feel so lucky that I've kicked IT, while at the same time I know it's still there, just tucked away, if that makes sense. It's lurking behind my soul just waiting, if I ever let my guard down, even after so many years. One might think that I never listen to the song, but no, I love it. It may sound ridiculous after all I just said, but I still love to hear into it. Maybe because I love to "feel" into it - maybe just a little, to remind myself where I came from and who I am now.

As a child, had I not had this music in my life, I would have thought I was doing something wrong, that their addiction was my fault. This song is so beautiful and sad, so true and heart breaking, so raw and real. I’m forever grateful for RHCP. Under The Bridge, Scar Tissue…and many more of their songs touched me at a young age, I’m talking as young as 8 years old. I’m getting “I’ll make it to the moon if I have to crawl” tattooed on me as a constant reminder that the struggles and trauma I lived through made me strong. RHCP opened my eyes to my parents choosing drugs over me and the pain I felt is so understood and heard when I listen ❤❤❤ THANK YOU for saving my life.

    Have you discussed this with either of your parents if they’re blessed enough to still be around ? The life and times of a junkie is no place for a child, at some point you have to weigh everything up, what’s the lesser of evils. You don’t want to be the junkie that killed his kid, or left it exposed to abuse, or eventually to know nothing but a life of drugs. I dare say it wasn’t an easy choice, and one that will haunt your parents to the grave. I hope you have the strength not to allow the same mistakes to affect your life, the ones with emotional trauma always fall the hardest. You don’t need a tattoo when it’s already written all over your Heart. Be strong and carve out a life that makes you happy, never settle for second best. Look at those few around you that are truly happy and free, and try learn. Good Luck 😉

    @@billymack333 that was so beautiful it brought me to tears. Yes, they are both lucky enough to have survived the worst years, although they are not fully out of their addictions. Regardless, I have made a beautiful life for myself, because the only other option was to become them. I learned way more than any child should have to and have been in therapy for a very long time. I probably will always be, I'm 30 and still learning "normal" life things, things like house upkeep because I was never taught. The main focus in my household growing up was survival, making sure to keep peace and making sure my sister and I had food and were out of harms way. I'm great under pressure and things that stress people out on the normal day like work, is a breeze for me. I'm grateful in some ways that I'm strong and can handle a lot but in other ways obviously a lot was taken from me. I have to work hard every day to remind myself I'm loved, I'm an inspiration and I have survived a lot. PTSD is a struggle and my parents are aware of their actions but are still so involved in their lives and struggles plus denial it's hard for them to understand. I have a boundary heavy relationship with them now and it's on my terms. I do not have children because I spent most of my life raising my parents, I don't want them to take that away from me either, the joys of being a mother, so one day when I'm ready I'd like to be a mom.

It’s an important part of what Jesus Christ taught that too many people forget. The process of genuinely meaning to forgive within your heart is the key that makes everything click. Start with your parents. They’re supposed to be the easiest, having loved you. There’s deep spiritual significance in that relationship to God. Looking inside to deal with your inner baggage and grow, that’s what shows the faith you need. Afterwards, break down before Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness. Simply bare your soul in prayer.

    I met Anthony & Flea after a Beck (with other local musicians) variety little music show at a Cafe in down town LA. We were friends with the other musicians who played at that Cafe regularly. We all knew Beck's mom from the Cafe, many of the musicians knew Beck too (like the Chili Peppers & my band friends) not me. We were all headed to Beck's house after that show. His hit song "Loser" had come out & it was doing well & the show was fun. I think it was his birthday. Two of the Chili Peppers were driving a mustang that Anthony was working on because it was primered (he spoke with us about that). This was after all the Chili Pepper's hits had come out & they were very famous. But at this little show, they were in the crowd watching like everyone else, no one was bothering them & they didn't have an entourage or anything. We spoke to both of them for a while & they are very down to earth people, very fun & kind. Flea's hat was so interesting, it was a brown felt hat that looked like it was a spriral staircase made out of felt going up, really unique. That was a very interesting night that could never happen now with celebrities being targeted, Covid etc. But it was fun being young growing up not far from Hollywood, Ca. We got to see some pretty great shows. The Chili Peppers put on a great show too. He's also a very nice person.

    I never understood the depth of Under the Bridge until I was around 12 when my guitar teacher explained that fateful last verse of the song and how Anthony decided to sober up, it shattered my perceptions of everything. How could this massive rockstar have hit so low? I'd just lost my father who OD'd on prescription pain pills. It was an overwhelming realization that we're all just humans; one's degree of fame or respect has nothing to do with the darkest parts of our human psyche that run through us all.. It will forever be one of the most powerful tracks in my whole life.

Saw them with Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins in 91 or 92 at Kalamazoo State Theater. Californication, By the Way...blew my mind, beautiful. Life happened...friends, kids, family, work. As I grew into an old man, the music made more sense. Today's albums make me feel amazing...Return of the Dream Canteen, amazing. Frusciante's solo stuff...amazing, particularly The Empyrean.

    I met Anthony briefly on the Californication tour and he was cool enough to take a pic with my goobery 14 year old self. I was totally starstruck and could barely speak and he was just as chill and nice as any one you could hope to meet. Took a pic with him and lost the damn camera at the hotel. Owell it's a great memory I'll never forget

    I read 'Scar Tissue' when I was going through a particulary rough patch with my ex-wife. The behaviors he described - as he struggled to get sober - set off flags in my mind about my marriage. It never occured to me that my ex was using drugs. I confronted her - and she admitted to it. She couldn't kick. I ultimately divorced her - and she spiraled over the next ten years. I remember hating him for his rationalizations for continuing to use. Now - with the benefit of hindsight - I realize that I owe him gratitude - for helping me to see a toxic part of my life - that allowed me to get my kids away from it before it hurt them more than it already had. Years later, my ex got sober and is now a healthy part of our kids' lives. There are some people who can't 'casually' do certain things.Addiction takes them over. I understand that now. Glad he's clean.

I've been a huge fan since 90 and have never heard this piece of his history. Joe just puts his guests at such comfort, ease and a space of acceptance that he elicits brilliance and candor unlike any other. Btw, 'Tearjerker' was the starting soundtrack to the greatest love relationship I've known yet.

    I was a heroin addict for around a decade. I thought it was the most amazing thing. I loved the sedation and the euphoria. I felt like it was the best version of me. I took pride that I was able to work, never steal from anyone and hide it from almost everyone because I even still worked out at the gym daily. I was able to suppress my childhood trauma and my multiple combat tours trauma to masquerade as a happy unaffected person as long as I kept everyone far enough away that they didn’t know that I needed to shoot heroin right when I woke up and right when I came home from work or I was a mess. I had dealers on speed dial. They loved me. It takes everything away from you eventually and the withdrawals are hell on earth for a week straight. I’m one of maybe 3 survivors out of around 50 of us. Everyone is dead and I’m still in my 30’s.

    The Bible is truth. Please read at least Genesis Mathew and one book of the Bible you chose yourself. It is important that as you do you practice forgiveness. It’s an important part of what Jesus Christ taught that too many people forget. The process of genuinely meaning to forgive within your heart is the key that makes everything click. Start with your parents. They’re supposed to be the easiest, having loved you. There’s deep spiritual significance in that relationship to God. Looking inside to deal with your inner baggage and grow, that’s what shows the faith you need. Afterwards, break down before Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness. Simply bare your soul in prayer. Take down those walls you’ve built up between you and God. Please, trust me. The Bible is truth. It’s just that you’ve got to take it seriously enough to do what Jesus Christ taught as an adult. Please, take your salvation seriously. Jesus Christ is the way truth and life’

    It’s funny to me hearing Anthony talk about “flailing” back in the ‘80s and how they couldn’t get out of their own way. Because I’m 45, so I primarily grew up in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and to me RHCP have always been these sort of “arbiters of cool” and can do no wrong. Absolute tastemakers. I remember seeing Flea for the first time at the end of the Young MC ‘Bust a Move’ video and those crazy pants with stuffed animals hanging from them and thinking “Oh yeah, these guys are going to be huge”.
