Hillel's voice is soooo deep. Didn't expect it to be that deep lmfao.

I love how they actually respect black culture when it comes to acknowledging where their sound came from. Being in 2019 and understanding how people see cultural appropriation vs appreciation, I'd say that the RHCP have ALWAYS payed homage and respect to the musicians who influenced them. They include them in their videos, talk about them in their interviews and actually approached them for approval and advice in order to develop their funky sound.

I 100% agree with you that this is how it should be but this isn't something exceptional people like Hendrix have always been respected by anyone who plays guitar.

This video was taken the same year Hillel died from a heroin overdose. So sad. He seemed so full of life in this video.

And heroin haha. For real though both. Even though you can see the heroin in his eyes and here it in his voice, you can also tell he had a lot of love for this world. He really didn't deserve to go so soon, and definitely not in that way. RIP Hillel

If it wasn’t for Hillel, Flea would’ve never picked up a bass. Bless that man, and a shame he died so young and what he could have accomplished.

Flea made a good point. The white audience didn't want to hear the funk and the black audience probably wouldn't listen to the rock. I think a lot of funk artists like Parliament, Bootsy Collins, etc. they're really underrated. I know people throw out the word 'underrated' but these guys never get the credit or respect they deserve for the funk. This is also what gave RHCP a unique sound I think, the funk influence is evident in their music and makes them a great band today.

Hillel, beautiful voice and handsome too

Would've been interesting to see where the band went had Hillel survived.. He seems more mature and more self assured than the other two. He has his own mind about what he likes and doesn't like, for example when Flea makes the Aerosmith comment. You can really see, against his cool demeanor that Anthony and Flea are like children acting out constantly "Am I cool yet?!".. Hillel was the real cool.

Hillel was the leader for sure. My older brother caught them in Daytona when I was too young to go 'barely' and hung out. Good times. He has a pic of him and the band to this day. They are out on the beach all high standing there with solo cups. I mean down high.

Hillel was their best guitar player in all the years, no doubt ... But Fleas comment at the end: " ... to funky for white man and to rocky for black men " . I think both bands, Parliament and the Chilies ran into that problem ...

I love the chillies but this as blatant as a Nirvana interview. Their high. Flea is super groovy at the start like doesn't know if he should talk, Anthony is faster that the roadrunner and Hillel is very deep and sharing. Let's. It all forget the Jack Iron is having a good stretch. I don't think Hillel is the leaders I think he just a very fair and democratic person.

I really love how genuinely moved by music they all are.

I swear I could listen to Hillel's voice all day long.

The look of admiration on Flea's face as he watches Bootsy just totally says it all.

i cant even describe how the chilis make me feel. Their music and story as a band is overpowering. It actually makes my heart heavy because theyre such a beautiful band and i was never part of it. But as the chlis would tell you themselves, you gotta live your own life and live your own funk!

yeah, i love the red hot chili peppers for.. introducing me (and others) to that funk music, now its definitely one of my favourite genres. definitely super glad for them as a whole

reading Anthony's book...halfway through...so mesmerized and devouring anything I can get my hands on. great interview. thanks for sharing.

2:18 you can see Flea's humanity in his face lol you can see the beauty of his soul, he's such a great person. I love him

Hillel was a truly beautiful and intelligent human being, not to mention an amazing guitar player. R.I.P

One of favourite videos on YT. Keep coming back. And I'm not even a huge RHCP fan. But I'm a Bootsy Collins fan for live and Parliament/Funkadelic.

i owe the chilis so much. firstly, their music is amazin. and second, they showed the doorway to so many other types of music. long live RHCP

25 years today we lost you but your still in are hearts with your great music much love.

dude... old school chili peppers.. yes!!

"Long live the bass" You heard it from the masters themselves. Stung by the funk

this is a sweet video. to see them sitting around as a bunch of bright eyed youngsters. showing off their influences like their favorite toy.

Gosh, I love them so. Rest in peace, Hillel. You're always on my mind. Also, on a random side note, my ex was almost named Bootsy at birth after the one and only. 😂😂😂

Chili peppers are my favorite band!! They introduced me to rock through funk!! Dope

They didnt sell out. They matured. Their music has changed. A band cant sound the same for 25 years. It gets boring. They arent afraid to try new vibes and ideas. If its the funk you're worried about... its still there. its just more together. Example : Ill Be Your Domino.

I feel so bad for Jack. I think he was going through a rough patch at this point, didn't feel like talking I guess. I can relate, but I'm glad he's better now. Plus, that hat is awesome. This is one of my favourite RHCP videos. Their enthusiasm is just amazing. Their music is everything to me and I totally feel like they do when talking about Sly, Bootsy, Funkadelic, etc. Minus the drugs. RIP Hillel. We love you.

Yeah man, I watched his rare interview in Miami and it was awesome

great video! thank you friend, for the upload!!!

word man I feel the same way. I can listen to all there albums as much as I want, but ill never know what it feels like to grow up like, WITH them, as in follow them throughout the years as a part of my life.

They are all so charming in their own unique way... I love RHCP .... R.I.P. RHCP wouldn't be the same without you :(

This was awesome to watch.

It's great to know I'm not alone in my love for Sly!!!

I'd never heard Hillel talk before seeing this. Pretty cool. He had a really deep voice. I wonder why Jack Irons wasn't into the interview.

there music taste just expanded they didnt forget about funk...the band and frusciante in particular just gained a further appreciation for rock n roll

I've never seen that before. Thanks for add it.

I'd never seen footage of Hillel until this video, only photos. It's nice to hear his voice.

I've been looking for that for a long time!!!

Same year I saw this lineup at the Filmore in SF. Was so explosive and completely life changing. Hillel would be gone just a few months later.

They lovew thier music. Flea is so baby faced in this clip!

As soon as Anthony started talking, the fact that they were blasted on coke was obvious XD man I love RHCP

ty, BNM.

Anthony!!! 🤣🤣😂😂😂 Talking so fast!! They are sooooooo high! 🤪😜

Great stuff. Love this!!

5:02 "You guys do your thing, I'll chill here being all high" "Ok cool"

You gotta love Hillel's bassy voice lol I love it.

This is EPIC!!!

They have awesome influences man!, no wonder they are so good They all seem pretty excited as usual especially Anthony lol

this is amazing

wow ! une des dernières vidéos de Hillel, c'est émouvant rien qu'en y pensant )':

thanx....soooooo awesome.!!!rock on

hearing hours of John and Josh speak in interviews and singing nice tenor vocals with the chilis and in their solo careers, it's oddly refreshing to hear fucking BASSY Hillel - WAY lower than I pictured - if he had survived and John joined as a second guitarist or something, coulda gotten some kickass vocal harmonies going

too funked out to get on white radio and too rocked out to get on black radio..very well put!

I love how they look like little children watching their favorite cartoon!

we are all so influenced by all of the music we heard in our lives. But you are so blessed to play what ever you want to love ya

this is fucking awesome, such young guys, yet so fucking humble. Giving back to those who gave the funk to us all. It's no wonder these guys made it big... they fucking LOVE the music. not trying to be rock stars, just loving the fucking grove.

ahhh... I LOVE HILLELS VOICE!! So fucking relaxing and deep!

Ive always been interested in the so-called quiet members of the band because they say so little, making me curious about their personalities. That said, I always thought Jack Irons was the coolest RHCP member in some respect.... they need more Jack interviews from when he was with the Peppers!

anyone know where i can find the version of Sly and the family stone - wanna take you higher that they show at the beginning of this video?

Hillel is wonderful, a really tragic loss when we died... R.I.P Slim

Fantastic!

Anyone know the name of bootsy's first song that came on @ 01:34 ?

thank you youtube for bringing so much goodness into my life =)

does anybody know where i can the full live clips of the sly stone song higher and the funkadelic on as well?

Hillel's voice is so weird, so deep! This was interesting. I love just hearing them prattling on. :)

Does anyone know where I can get that movie of Bootsy Collins they showed?

Flea looks so cute when they show him at the beginning :)

CAN SOMEONE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND THE ORIGINAL BOOTSY COLLINS CLIP THAT THEY PLAY??????????? i need to find it! that bass line has been stuck in my head for too long

Anyone knows what video is that when they show footage of Bootsy and P-Funk?

Anyone know where to find that Bootsy Collins video?

hey, does anybody know the bootsy song that came on with the EXTREMELY funky bass?

Lol flea looks absolutely gorgeous in this 💖

Can someone please give me the second song in the influences by bootsy collins?

OMG you telling me RHCP influence was pure funk... Thats amazing

The video clip of Bootsy they were watching comes from the tail end of a episode of a TV Show called Rockschool. You can the watch the entire episode here on KZread.
