Kinda crazy how Frusciante just straight up said "I couldn't come up with anything, so I ripped off The Cure" lmao
Music history is one huge recycle bin, awesome to hear such big stars tell it like it is
Chord progressions
If you understand music theory the two songs aren't very similar beyond the first few notes It was just inspiration
a lot of artists come up with new songs by learning old ones
Look up a bands top 10-20 biggest influences and you will find pieces (or entire sections or even entire songs if the writer is unscrupulous or oblivious) of their music all over their stuff. Music is language. You dont invent a new language for every song. Its all the same alphabet and sentences. Context is everything
good artists copy, great ones steal
i remember being blown away by the video as a kid. glad it still looks awesome
If you have an android phone you can get to play it.
@@botJK2925what it’s called?
@@botJK2925NO WAAAAAAY THATS AWESOME
My little daughter loves it. And the song.
@@apl2606 i remember being very little and loving everything about this, i know that feeling and its awesome. Glad your daughter loves it too ❤
Chad: "I've never been on a snowboard in my life." 😂💀
Chad is my favorite Pepper.
Mine too. He was great in Step Brothers.
I laughed so hard
that's "Big Cat" to us he famously goes by the nickname "Big Cat"
Chad had that "I got a rock" energy in his voice when he mentioned the snowboard.
@@saml302 i remember reading somewhere that he was trying to get his legal named changed but kiedis allegedly said "no can do" and then he pointed to his OFF! hat
I always thought that the line "space may be the final frontier but it's made in an Hollywood's basement" was about the moon landing being fake lol
Same here
havent seen the vid, but..
so it wasn't about that ? 😮
@@kellenmoon3084no it wasnt about that it was about star trek
its a triple entendre. thats why the song is magic
Isn’t??
Wow i'm so glad I clicked on this video, what a treat. It was so nice having everything laid out nicely in front of me so I could enjoy it all super easily. Seriously, amazing job! I would love to see this type of video with any other of their songs! Or whole albums in fact maybe
Thanks a lot for the kind words! Would definitely like to do more RHCP content in the future :)
@@3minuteswithMarcplease do
@@3minuteswithMarc congrats, this is really good content!
@@3minuteswithMarcOther bands, too, please 🙏🏼
Good video essay. Has all the qualities I enjoy. No over-talking, showing the source (aka RHCP) instead of quoting and saying it yourself, no over-researched areas. Perfect!
Thanks a lot!
Mate, what the fuck is this? I started on this video, got blown away, watched other ones and came back to say you're a great visual storyteller, what the actual fuck. You bring to the screen everything you mention, it's such a pleasure to watch something where everything is served on a plate for you. My curious mind really thanks your effort, I know how hard is to edit a video like this. Subscribed, great job!!
Thank you so much!
Just get on your knees already 🙄
It's actual content. Not copied and pasted. Hard work.
This video changed my life. I was 6 years old - crazy about video games. This is how I got hooked to Red Hot Chili Peppers and subsequently rock music.
I watched the RHCP live in 2000, it was so awesome!
Lucky you, must have been amazing
@@3minuteswithMarc You bet! Opening act: Foo Fighters 😉
8:22 dude Anthony is totally right on this. Good point if view
6:30 actually had my jaw dropped for a second 😭
HE GOT ME THERE TOO LMAO
The life and lore of this band is fully an interest of mine in and of itself. The shit these guys have seen+experienced is insane. Each of them could write several books and have several biopics.
They are hollywood history, theyre an og homegrown L.A band that are still selling out tours.
I remember watching this video as a little kid and being so fascinated by it+the music. Its burnt into my brain. 😂
Acid for the Children is fantastic. I recommend the audiobook just because Flea narrates it himself.
@@derrickrussell8933 I'm definitely going to be listening to or reading it! Thank you !
“Scar Tissue” give it a read. definitely interesting
I've listened to this song probably a thousand times, and everytime I read the lyrics it's evident how beautifully poetic Anthony's songwriting is.
growing up in germany, for a non-native speaker, his lyrics sounded like total gibberish to me. now, after 25 years of learning and speaking english, i am so amazed at the depth of his lyrics.
Ding dang ding ding ding dong ding dang ding dong
@@DudeMan-xs3dbfire lyrics 🔥🔥🔥
if you think anthony is poetic lol check out mike patton, wipes his ass any day on his own style or any other. anthony still cool tho but check it out
@@MollyGaia Can you not just appreciate someone's work? What's with the stupid comment?
This is something of the highest quality RHCP story telling I’ve seen. Please keep going!
Remember buying this album, watching fightclub and matrix in 99. What a year.
Fuck i varely remember im 30 lol
Man if you'd produce more red hot chili peppers videos i would be very happy
Thanks!! I'm hoping to do more RHCP content in the future :)
Also other bands
Do You Guys Like One Hot Minute ? I Know Its Not Their Best Album But It’s Still Very Underrated And Gets To Much Hate
@@mikolajpaluch4927 yeah, I do enjoy it, but it probably in the top 3 albums from them i heard the least. But I do love the songs Aeroplane, Deep kick and the b side Stretch
@@mateusgottschallesa3298 My Top 3 RHCP Albums For Me Is BSSM Stadium Arcadium And Californiacation
Its one thing to love the song and video, but to find out how it was made behind the scenes, makes me love it even more. I think because i can appreciate the art and creativity that went into it. You also get the sense that it wouldve been really fun to actually be there while it was all happening. Im just happy i was around when it came out (I was 5) lol.
I love this song. I’m amazed that the music was inspired by a Cure song. This was great.
Legit, never noticed it before but now that I hear it its a shock
AK talking about the ocean is such a mood
ABSOLUTE CLASSIC! first RHCP song ive listen too in the 2000's Poland.....childhood 😢❤
Very captivating video, glad you took the time to make it! well done!
Lol nice touch with the Donkey Kong Country soundfont! Loved the video. Well done.
Thanks a lot!
A música deles entrou dentro das minhas células quando eu era adolescente e agora fazem parte do meu corpo
I legit as a kid thought there was no way video games would ever reach that point. At least not anytime soon. But I always thought it would be so cool if they did. It's funny looking back because it looks silly now compared to the state of modern video games lol.
Great video man, perfect use of clips and your explanations and inputs are on point! glad you included info on the music video as well👍🏼
This is such an informative and enjoyable video! Better than any documentary segment I’ve seen in a while. Gotta check out the Californication demo now - so good! Would’ve never heard it if not for this video. Keep up the great stuff!
man this is an amazing video. love how you dove into different topics like the early history of the band and video games and johns journey without straying from the main theme at all. very easy to follow too and full of great information. well done, gotta sub now!
Thanks!!
Hope this vid gets blessed by the CZcams algorithm.
Thanks, fingers crossed
I found it randomly!
you went crazy on this vid i hope your hard work pays off
Amazing video dude, it felt like 3 minutes. Thank you so much
Great video. Brings back memories and nice to know the background too.
I loved this song as a kid and not really knowing the meaning behind the lyrics but now since i’m a little older i took a look back at the lyrics and it’s very deep and showing the real meaning behindbut
glad that you showed a lot of clips from the actual band members instead of voiceover the whole vid
This was a great watch thanks for the hard work putting it together!
Thanks a lot!
Best video recommendation I’ve ever clicked on. What an incredible deep dive. Thank you for what you do
Thank you so much!!
thanks for putting all of it together
This song is “a lesson in perseverance, if you think there’s something in there, you gotta just stay at it”. 20+ years and the audience are realising there’s something in there
I’m glad this was our timeline
Great work on this video mate! 👍
TERRIFIC job, loved the editing and storytelling. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Amazing video man, I love RHCP and at the same time i'm learning english, so your video help to know more about the band and at the same time practice my english listening. Thank you, grettings from Barraquilla, Colombia.
The real lesson here is: If you can’t figure out how to make a song work, you just need a John Frusciante lol
John frusciante #1🎸
Such a great video. Pls more!
I love how real the creative process is on this one. No I dreamed about this song woke up wrote it and it was perfect, but yea we couldn't figure it out so we listened to the cure and played crazy taxi lmao
Awesome video my dude, this one of the best detailed analysis I ever saw.
Thanks so much!
I love this. When I was still a singer in a band, we made songs exactly like 2:00. It is so nostalgic to think about that.
You should make more music videos. You’re good at it.
Thanks a lot!!
Yeah I agree, I liked this a lot. Very good work
great video, well made, thank you
Amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you!!
Great vid! So well made
Awesome video bro, super super well done
Thank you!!
That was a simply great video essay - thank you for that.
Thanks!!
this was an amazing video to watch, thanks man
Thank you so much
John Frusciante is the guitarist of our generation. He's a genius.
He really is. I don’t like rhcp at all, but John is amazing.
Awesome video dude, well put together
Thanks!!
Great video! I'd love to see more videos like this from that era
Thank you!
10:17 Anthony: "To the Papers?!?"
*John smiles*
😂
Yoo the comment I was looking for 😂
But I find Anthony's response funnier. The way his eyebrows move, that is lol
@@afaris88 hahaha, yeah. Very funny moment
Very well done video!
Thank you!
I love this album so much, definitely one of my favourites of all time
Love death stranding and the chilli peppers

Anthony kiedes flew on the Lolita express....
Let that sink in

Thank you!!
Omg, really really good video!
Thanks a lot!!
so interesting, thanks !!
Merci !! 😉
I've enjoyed watching and listening!
Awesome video!
i loved that 1080 snowboard game so much when i was a little kid
To be honest, back then, as a teen, I listened to a lot of music not so much because I liked it, but because I felt I needed to be part of something to be cool or something like that. It was more about identity than about the actual music.
I wasn't even some fashion victim follower who listened to the popular stuff to be part of the in-crowd. I was a contrarian loner, but I listened to music that seemed to fit that image I had of myself.
The Californication album was one of the few exceptions. It was one of the very few I genuinely listened to for the music and on which I liked pretty much every song.
Marc this video is longer than 3 mins and i love it
oh yeah forgot about that 😂 Thanks!
that was super cool thanks!
Thanks a lot!
Yay! Its from the Cure melody ❤ and I love the demo version with a touch of reggae❤️❤️
"To the papers?" *John struggling not to laugh* haha
10:14 “To the papers?” 😂😂😂
Ive always kind of wrote off the RHCP but that original recording of californication gave me goosebumps!
I was there at the show in the very first clip of Flea and John facing each other playing the intro. It was their performance at Austin City Limits. What an incredible night, it was Flea’s birthday.
What a great video! Loved and enjoyed every second of it! I wish there would exist such a video to every song from the Chili Peppers. Thumbs up!
Thanks a lot!!
I remember being a kid and every time the video would play on MTV I would use my ps1 joypad pretending to play it. So many good memories.
What a amazing video... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That is an amazing music video and song
Nice made video. ❤
I love these back story's. Ya think; I got the lyrics & the melody, we're almost done, but there's so much more & so many parts of the puzzle coming from so many people, in & out side the band. The song is the sauce. The players are the spices & the Chef gets his que's from from not only his tastes, but all the muses that touch him.
the fact that Carnage visors inspired Californication is absolutely wild
Great quality vid. Subbed
Thank you!!
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
Great band, great song, great video❤
Yes man. Great job on that.
Thanks!
Wow, amazing video - TV quality. Good luck!
Thank you!!
Great video
Thank you, love your remixes!!
