    20/11/2013 : It's fixed. Thanks for your patience.
    19/11/2013 : Hi. I am not responsible for the damaged sound, this video was appreciated and worked for 5 years already. I think it's censorship of CZcams. I will try to fix the problem very soon. Be patient, sorry for that.

      I rate the Peppers up there with Queen, Led Zepplin, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, they have a beautiful creative signature sound Flea, Chad, Anthony and John, they and only they are the essential hardcore loving heart of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    Intro ...walking miserably down the streets looking for dope.
    0:55 Bass beats start ...looking for a quiet place ...preparing for the shot.
    1:42 First solo ... excitement....
    then Waiting... desperate and self pitying.
    2:43 Second solo ... finally the shot !.... its coming ....
    4:02 Third solo and wild dance... High!
    4:33 In another world.
    5:04 Fourth solo ...Laying down letting all pass
    5:36 The last bass beats... heart rate slows down to normality.
    Bass stops all is over and back to shitty beginning.
    Life of a junky. Now we know for sure.
    Most songs of RHCP are about their drug abuse. And the lines "I'm an inbred and a pothead two legs that you spread inside the tool shed" are brutal and show the helplessness of the victim hooked by the drugs feeling useless and lifeless and crying for help that's in the title "Don't forget me". Terrible but musically great interpreted as they lived it. John is an absolute genius on guitar. But the others are absolutely top and blend seamlessly together. RHCP for ever!

      I think it's a combination of confidence and marketing. Josh knows that he's up there "filling in" for the guitarist that built the sound of RHCP. I'm sure that plays a factor when he's up there in front of the crowds. I'm also willing to bet that the original members and their management team decided to downplay Josh's presence in the band because the attraction for concert goers is RHCP's prime catalog, and not Josh's playing.

    John Frusciante is without a doubt one of the most underrated guitarist of all time. The talent this man possesses is inconceivable. And I'm not saying that just because I am a huge fan RHCP fan. I'm just giving credit where it is due.

    Everybody is sweating with minimal clothes on, but John stays ice cold and needs an extra button up. Even with those hot hands, he manages to stay chilled. What a legend.

      John wore long sleeves for years to hide the scars on his arms from shooting up.

    Man, can’t believe this video has already been here for 13 years. This is the very video that turned me on to Frusciante. Still not tired of it.

    Flea: playing one of the most pleasant backing tracks on bass i think i've ever heard

      Yea, it's an out of the ordinary arrangement in that the bass is playing two note chords that could be played on a guitar

      @@stephenfreeman7808 Oi nah, if Flea was playing anything more complex than that simple chord pattern the whole song would fall apart. One of the most crucial parts of being a great musician is knowing when to go mental, and when to rein it in and let the other musicians take centre stage. Don’t Forget Me is one of those times
