shit comment. the video is a tribute to the last time the band was interviewed before he died. he was more articulate & wise then the 2 motormouths yapping away here. by THEIR own admission. have some respect

Behind all the wacky behaviour and funny hats & outfits back then, they were wise beyond their years and really pushed the envelope in terms of the particular type of hybrid of styles of music they were playing/pioneering, the electrifying energy they brought to that music, and their musicianship. They don't get enough credit for their contribution to the rise of underground alternative music in the 80's.

To me coming from new Zealand it is so California Hollywood but these have this massive energy and the band just go off I reckon it was psycadellic punk funk rap punk instead of rap going off to rap against a fat beat this rap is against a power jam band that is funky colourful shaded hypersensitivity songs and the band is still active today but only got better at making music together and sharing is caring all the drugs wore off and now they sweet beautiful melody songs that can flip into a nose diver that snifs his way back up again they only grew as players and are now probably the vest band in the world today

They weren’t sole pioneers. They just happen to be one of the really good ones that jumped out ahead of the rest. They were dozens of bands in LA and DC at the time doing the exact same thing mashing up hip-hop with funk with soul with punk rock. Do a little research and you’ll find there’s a lot of really amazing bands from that time. The other bands chose not to sell out, whereas the chili peppers did and hired big time management and rose to huge fame. So all this bullshit his spouting off is kind of funny

RIP Hillel Slovak (April 13, 1962 - June 25, 1988), aged 26 You will be remembered as a legend.

Hurts my soul to know he died 3 weeks after this. He was a unique spirit.

It's recorded on film, unlike late 90s camera's that use pixels, film is equal up to 15k resolution depending on the scanner & using clear lenses. Todays biggest movies are also shot on film, like oppenheimer. So if you have tapes from the 80s, you can master & scan them again to gain advantage in screen quality

Funny, because about two years after this, they hired big time management so that they could become pop stars. And when that wasn’t good enough, they hired the same team of management and marketing that pushed Metallica into the main stream. Watch the making of blood Sugar sex Magik and there’s tons of big time entertainment bigwigs making appearances. But fuck it cash it and get your money.

I respect your opinion, but I don’t think BSSM was a sellout at all. It was just an authentic shift in style that made a lot of people mad. For anyone who doesn’t believe it was still authentic and original, tell me: who else sounds like the Chili Peppers, at *any* point in their history?

BSSM I dont think it was that big of a change , they were just progressing musicaly , it was inevitable with John having more freedom to put in his more melodic sound. And I dont think that it was a sell out on purpose, their sound became really really good in that time. Correct me if Im wrong but , in 1991 their manager was still Lindi the same guy since the beginning , they changed management in 1999 with the californication tour I believe.

@clinteastwood6875

Your comment is way off. Their manager until roughly 1997 was Lindy Goetz. They absolutely WERE Pop stars when Blood Sugar came out. People think Pop star means it has be a Michael Jackson. N Sync or Britney Spears type music but Pop simply means popular at the end of the day. Before Californication they did hire Q Prime but they were already huge. They just became even bigger after.

Saunds too confident than honest knowing what happened ,looking at one hot minute(obvious grunge influnce),also the way he says it saunds like he is trying to say that mainstream bands are bad and immoral and we are good and moral for not following the narrative ,which is so arrogant and hypocritical of him to say,dont get me wrong I dont fallow mainstream music but damn who the fuck does he think he is,if he wasnt acting so fake it wouldn't botter me but the moment I se manipulative people who say thing they dont believe in to look confident,cool and moral my guts fill with anger.Modern day Kiedis is more likeable becouse he is more real and less fake.
