We absolutely need a full reaction to Blood Sugar Sex Magik. 17 straight heaters without a single bad song, some unbelievable production and the band in their peak
My favorite album of the 90s. And I say that admitting I enjoyed very little of their stuff after this. "Wouldn't believe what I've seen, sitting on that sack of beans"

Blood Sugar Sex Magik is widely considered one of the most complete albums of all time. So many bangers (power of equality, funky monks if you habe to ask), so many chill thought-stokers (under the bridge, breaking the girl). Just incredible.

This album is must complete album reaction. This came out in the summer as I was starting high school, it changed my life. Nothing that has come out before it has sounded like this, It was before grunge hit and frankly it’s much cooler than grunge. This album ended crappy 80s music. This is the first album I owned that was mine, not my brothers music, not my parents music, but this was an album for my generation coming up.
RHCP struck magic with this album. They were so good here - so much fire and intensity. Interesting to note this album was released the same day as Nirvana's Nevermind.

This album hit just a little before nevermind blew up. I Remember when they came to town. Unfortunately I missed the show because their opening acts were Pearl Jam and Nirvana
This is one of the albums (along with stuff like Nirvana's Nevermind, Metallica's black album, U2's Achtung Baby, and Pearl Jam's Ten) that absolutely defined the early 90s for me and my friends.
Fun Fact! All 4 albums you listed, as well as the album this song is from (Blood Sugar Sex Magic) were released in 1991! Other great albums also from 1991 include (but not limited to) Out Of Time by REM, Gish by The Smashing Pumpkins, Sailing the Sea of Cheese by Primus, Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge by Van Halen, and Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 by Guns and Roses.
Sir Psycho Sexy, Apache Rose Peacock, Mellowship Slinky in B Major.... so many bangers on this album. All bangers, all day long. One of the best full albums, ever. It’s on my Desert Island list.

I'm a huge phat bass fan, and Flea fits that bill perfectly. I'm happy to say my son took to the bass like a duck to water, he actually learned by listening to Entwistle on repeat. I'm even happier to say when he was 9 he, on his own, picked out the RHCP's Californication CD for my Mother's Day gift. One of my proudest moments as a mother :)
Duuudes this hit so hard back in the day and still does. I remember I was a young teen jamming this awesome shit in the early 90's. I'm glad you guys liked it.

This is by far my favorite of their albums. The perfect sweet spot for them of funk, punk, acoustic, melody, solos, production... just everything. Every song.
This album 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' along with Rage Against The Machine's stunning debut, literally turned me into a bass player in the 90s. These bands basically incorporated soul funk into alternate rock in the gnarliest way possible.
What I've always liked about RHCP is that they combine 1970s funk (my era) with 1990s style rock. What results is a very unique, and cool, music product that never feels dated.
Agree 100% with the need to hear the bass playing of Jaco Pastorius. Killed in a bar fight at the young age of 35, I challenge anyone to find any professional bassist who does not list Jaco as one of his top 2 or 3 influences, even 35 years later after his tragic death. His bass playing is so unique, it doesn't sound like bass you have ever heard from any other bass player.
@@Fuphyter I would say my top five bassist of all time in no particular order are, Jaco, Stanley Clarke, James Jamerson, Victor Wooten, and Rocco Preccia. I completely understand this could be different for anybody but these are my top five
@@joelmastrobattisto422 I saw Stanley Clarke live at The Palladium in the 70s. He played upright bass for a few songs. Completely blew my mind. He moves his hand and fingers so fast it's insane. I was in a band with Manassas bassist Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuel. Great guy.
@@Fuphyter That’s phenomenal I would’ve loved to seen him live. I saw Rocco Preccia Live at toads Place with Tower Of Power absolutely blew my mind, got to hang with them backstage afterwards in the green room really cool bad really cool dude.
@@joelmastrobattisto422 Tower Of Power kicks azz! I saw them at My Father's Place on Long Island twice. Ahh live music. I remember hearing ads on WPLR for Toads Place
Thank You for getting to RHCP!! Alex should turn Andy onto "Give It Away" for a music share Monday! Amazing band that crosses genre boundaries, and forges a couple of their own!
How about Chilli Peppers with original guitarist Hillel Slovack and drummer Jack Irons 🔥 previous album "Uplift Mofo Party Plan" (& had 2 albums prior) Just before they broke big and were still gracing the stage with nothing but socks covering their manhood. Check 1) Behind the Sun I say best track they ever did.
Blood Sugar Sex Magic is RHCP at their zenith. They'd been around for almost a decade at that point, been through more band and personal turmoil than necessary, had matured enough for the song writing to evolve, still had a boat load of agression and attitude and were fully committed as a group to make the best music they could. Throw in Rick Rubin and a haunted Hollywood mansion that they lived in as the studio and you end up with a genre defining epic album. John Frusciante (barely 21 years old at the time) is THE star of this record and all guitar players should study it intensely. The tones, technique, imagination, touch and flat out balls are mind boggling. You can see how it all unfolded in the documentary about the making of the album, Funky Monks. Worth a Patreon watch consideration.
Love the Peppers. One of the only few bands I haven’t got to see live that I’ve really wanted to see live. Honestly fellas this is a classic masterpiece to me and if anything you should do an album review/reaction. Blood Sugar Sex Magik is an S tier album👍🏽 Thanks guys!

Next RHCP's song has to be "Under the Bridge;" the lyrics were originally from a poem Anthony Keidis wrote about the alienation and isolation he experienced while recovering from his heroin addiction. Great guitar, great bass, poignant vocals/lyrics. This is an absolute must hear song.

I just saw them at Fenway Park and they played this song and it was truly one of the best things I've ever seen. Since John returned, they've been straight fire. And as cool as this sounds on the recording, it's got nothing on the live version I saw.
@@SorgFamily I'm jealous! I took my 18 year old daughter, she had a blast. I'm betting she will never see a concert that compares. They've still got it, enjoy!
@@jeanninejones8350 oh definitely, I bought my tickets in November the second I heard about the tour, wasn't missing this one, we were in front of John @ 18 rows back, he was incredible, Flea was superb, Anthony sounded the best he ever has and man he's still super jacked, the guy is in great shape !! Chad's drumming just wow ! 👌
this should be a case study in AUDIO ENGINEERING = AMAZING! The upfront energy of the snare using extreme compression, saturation and perfect dynamic EQ to sit every instrument in the pocket w/perfect filter cuts, making room for the ideal vocal EQ to sit upfront without competing. It's an ideal mix.
USF alum class of '14. Used to BLAST this song on my iTouch on my way to my 8:10am English class every morning on my bike ride from Beta Hall to the EDU building and could park my bike PERFECTLY at the sound of the last "KISS!". Will never forget those days.
When I heard Black Summer I felt like it was good times back in the 90s with the Peppers. I nearly fell off my chair when i heard that the classic peppers sound (albeit updated) And, John's nod to Hendrix in his solo. .""" They're Back""", I said to myself. And thanked god too given all the crappy music out today.
the whole album rocks.. at first listen i thought yeah its alright but over the next 10 or 12 listens more it became one of my favourite rhcp albums.. and that means a lot cause i love the vast majority of their stuff
This song is a masterpiece, and it will get you amped up too. The production is purely amazing. To achieve that fat, full guitar/s sound without the bass overwhelming it (don't get me wrong, the bass is prominent and basically leads), is truly incredible, it's so full. And the treble's still there too. You could bite a piece off.
Welcome to the '90s. Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana), Suck My Kiss, Give It Away, Alive (Pearl Jam), Head Like a Hole (NIN) - 1991 was a year when everything changed in rock music.
If you haven't heard early Peppers, you haven't heard good Peppers. Period. Mothers Milk is a damn fine album. "Knock Me Down" , "Subway To Venus" , "Stone Cold Bush" , "Sexy Mexican Maid" , or "Johnny, Kick A Hole In The Sky" will knock your socks off. MM set the Peppers up for HUGE success with the Blood Sugar Sex Magic album. BSSM solidified the Peppers legendary status. BTW I never say their whole name, they are the 'Peppers to me and many fans.
Agreed. I have all "Peppers" albums up to BSSM, and after... that was it for me. They were pretty wicked and hard... all the way up to BSSM , and then (in my own opinion) they just lost that edge... afterward BSSM and I completely lost interest.
Part of the best year of music. This album, Nevermind, Ten, Bad Motor Finger, Black Album, Use Your Illusion I and II, Achtung Baby, Gish, Out of Time, Slave to The Grind, No More Tears. So many landmark albums.
I can remember this coming out like it was yesterday. We were Juniors in high school. One of the rock bands I was in learned Give it Away that first weekend, then played it before 1st hour band class for the rests of the marching band. Those were golden days.
You guys nailed this reaction. Everything you said. This is a very cool song, from a very cool band. From a very cool album. The only thing you failed to see is the genius of John Frusciante, but that wasn't really on display here.
I'm not a big fan of rock music from this era....but this album is a classic, start to finish. There's hard & heavy bangers like this, and great slower emotional bangers too.

This album is freaking fantastic- one of my top 10 of all time. Funky Monks, If You Have to Ask, I Could Have Lied, Mellowship Slinky in B maj, and Apache Rose are all MASTERPIECES
Literally the *entire* "BloodSugarSexMagick" album is S-tier; it is their best album, bar none. Their previous 4 albums are some GREAT music, and some great prog-rock; you can hear them developing that crazy up-front bass + funk style that they perfect in BSSM. Every album after "BloodSugarSexMagick" is one tier or another of middle-of-the-road tripe; they mostly all sound like someone's fan-fic of RHCP. :D
Love this reaction. I recently had a breakthrough with regards to the Chili Peppers after a lifetime of thinking they were just OK and my take is similar. They play it so close to the line of self parody but at their best you can tell they really believe it. And they're just awesome musicians.
I would love to see your reaction to their cover of "Love Rollercoaster" or "Higher Ground". Both really unique and strong interpretations on the originals.
The album this song is from (Blood Sugar Sex Magic) was released in 1991. Other great albums also from 1991 include (but not limited to) Nevermind by Nirvana, Metallica (aka the black album) by Metallica, Achtung Baby by U2, Ten by Pearl Jam, Out Of Time by REM, Gish by The Smashing Pumpkins, Sailing the Sea of Cheese by Primus, Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge by Van Halen, and Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 by Guns and Roses.
The album "Blood Sugar Sex Magic" is a banger from beginning to end! I listen to it without skipping a track! Still in my playlist after all these years. In my top ten favorite albums! 💯
such a great album, wore out this CD. This was back in the day before they became more mature adults when it seemed like they did everything naked including posing on magazine covers and playing on stage they were just raw and unapologetic. still make great music but this to me has been their best work.
I love the Chili Peppers..one of my favourite bands! ❤ Their evolution throughout the years has been amazing. They started out more punk rock/rap rock/funk with their first four albums. Then Blood Sugar Sex Magik was the stepping stone into RHCP 2.0. The funkiest hardcore shit. The next album was with a different guitarist and had a darker tone (fitting with the 90s grunge era). Then John Frusciante, their guitarist on album 4 and 5 came back and yet a new era was born with their next three albums together. They've become mature and so many songs have the most beautiful melodies and backing vocals♡ but there are also so many funky & foot stomping & groovy songs too! So many of their non mainstream songs are just gems and worth the listen! I'd go for these songs for reaction videos instead of the most famous ones.
Flea is known as one of the greater bassists, especially in his slap style. He even has a music school on California. He and Anthony met in high school as two outcasts who “got” each other. Close as brothers.
The song that it was "bleeding into" is also S tier and a complete 180 from this song. I Could Have Lied. RHCP is an incredibly diverse band, and one of those bands that you either "get" or you don't. And I'm glad you guys are leaning towards getting it.
I don't mind Jaco or Flea winning a poll about bass, but do not pass on "Add It Up" as a song. It is an S Tier song of the 80s in the same class as three you know--Tunnel of Love, Ashes to Ashes, Spirit of Radio. It's that good.
This whole chili peppers album is a masterpiece. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@jeanninejones8350 oh definitely, I bought my tickets in November the second I heard about the tour, wasn't missing this one, we were in front of John @ 18 rows back, he was incredible, Flea was superb, Anthony sounded the best he ever has and man he's still super jacked, the guy is in great shape !! Chad's drumming just wow ! 👌
Blood Sugar Sex Magik is far and away their best album. It kills me that people think of Hey yo Snow when they think of this band.
"I didn't consent to that" 🤣🤣
You definitely need to react to “Give it Away “
Sex Blood Sugar Magik is my favourite album of theirs. Back in the day, no party was complete without it.
Most of this album is S Tier it dips in to the high A's twice.
this should be a case study in AUDIO ENGINEERING = AMAZING! The upfront energy of the snare using extreme compression, saturation and perfect dynamic EQ to sit every instrument in the pocket w/perfect filter cuts, making room for the ideal vocal EQ to sit upfront without competing. It's an ideal mix.
This album came out my senior year of high school. What a run of songs.
USF alum class of '14. Used to BLAST this song on my iTouch on my way to my 8:10am English class every morning on my bike ride from Beta Hall to the EDU building and could park my bike PERFECTLY at the sound of the last "KISS!". Will never forget those days.
When I heard Black Summer I felt like it was good times back in the 90s with the Peppers. I nearly fell off my chair when i heard that the classic peppers sound (albeit updated) And, John's nod to Hendrix in his solo. .""" They're Back""", I said to myself. And thanked god too given all the crappy music out today.
the whole album rocks.. at first listen i thought yeah its alright but over the next 10 or 12 listens more it became one of my favourite rhcp albums.. and that means a lot cause i love the vast majority of their stuff
“Under the Bridge” is my favorite!!🤘🔥
The Chili Peppers are a band I just can't get into. It all sounds the same to me, and I'm not a fan of Anthony's voice.
But that's just me.
This song is the way you start a show.
BOOM!
Here we are, deal with it!
This song is a masterpiece, and it will get you amped up too. The production is purely amazing. To achieve that fat, full guitar/s sound without the bass overwhelming it (don't get me wrong, the bass is prominent and basically leads), is truly incredible, it's so full. And the treble's still there too. You could bite a piece off.
Just an Iconic band. This album should be in everyone's discography to own. No streaming.
One of the best albums of the 90s. Front to back amazing album.
I hope you guys get to their "Breaking The Girl" one day! "Controversial" title aside, it's one of their very best, as the dust of time settles.
Welcome to the '90s. Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana), Suck My Kiss, Give It Away, Alive (Pearl Jam), Head Like a Hole (NIN) - 1991 was a year when everything changed in rock music.
"I didn't consent to that." 🤣I am dead!
If you haven't heard early Peppers, you haven't heard good Peppers. Period.
Mothers Milk is a damn fine album. "Knock Me Down" , "Subway To Venus" , "Stone Cold Bush" , "Sexy Mexican Maid" , or "Johnny, Kick A Hole In The Sky" will knock your socks off.
MM set the Peppers up for HUGE success with the Blood Sugar Sex Magic album. BSSM solidified the Peppers legendary status.
BTW I never say their whole name, they are the 'Peppers to me and many fans.
Agreed. I have all "Peppers" albums up to BSSM, and after... that was it for me. They were pretty wicked and hard... all the way up to BSSM , and then (in my own opinion) they just lost that edge... afterward BSSM and I completely lost interest.
Sir Psycho Sexy is a beyond -funky banger on this album.
Saw them back then for this album at Lollapalooza. Fire and flesh...feast for the senses! Wow. Really takes me back to some great times. 🔥
Part of the best year of music. This album, Nevermind, Ten, Bad Motor Finger, Black Album, Use Your Illusion I and II, Achtung Baby, Gish, Out of Time, Slave to The Grind, No More Tears. So many landmark albums.
You might be thinking to yourself "I wonder what was it like to be in the mosh pit for this song?" It was fucking tremendous.
I can remember this coming out like it was yesterday. We were Juniors in high school. One of the rock bands I was in learned Give it Away that first weekend, then played it before 1st hour band class for the rests of the marching band. Those were golden days.
"I didn't consent to that", I fucking died.
Such a massive influence to other bands across time. Oh yes.
“breaking the girl” is a next-level love song!
Jane's Addiction "Three Days"
Y'all should do INXS - What You Need or Kiss The Dirt
Every song on this album is hardcore funk rock. Love it!
This is their best lineup. When Dave Navarro joined the band he started going downhill. This guitarist was perfect for the band
John Frusciante was the guitarist………and now he’s rejoined the band, for the third time.
You guys nailed this reaction. Everything you said. This is a very cool song, from a very cool band. From a very cool album. The only thing you failed to see is the genius of John Frusciante, but that wasn't really on display here.
Their cover of Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground is absolute 🔥🔥. I believe that was their album before. For me Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik is their best
I'm not a big fan of rock music from this era....but this album is a classic, start to finish. There's hard & heavy bangers like this, and great slower emotional bangers too.
How about Chilli Peppers with original guitarist Hillel Slovack and drummer Jack Irons 🔥 previous album "Uplift Mofo Party Plan" (& had 2 albums prior) Just before they broke big and were still gracing the stage with nothing but socks covering their manhood. Check
1) Behind the Sun
I say best track they ever did.
To be fair, I don't think this can be classified as rock music. This is funk with undertones of hip hop.
This album is freaking fantastic- one of my top 10 of all time. Funky Monks, If You Have to Ask, I Could Have Lied, Mellowship Slinky in B maj, and Apache Rose are all MASTERPIECES
"There's a fine line between this and Kid Rock"....thankfully yes.
Evanescence “wake me up inside”. Not sure why I just thought of that but I did
Literally the *entire* "BloodSugarSexMagick" album is S-tier; it is their best album, bar none.
Their previous 4 albums are some GREAT music, and some great prog-rock; you can hear them developing that crazy up-front bass + funk style that they perfect in BSSM.
Every album after "BloodSugarSexMagick" is one tier or another of middle-of-the-road tripe; they mostly all sound like someone's fan-fic of RHCP. :D
“Could’ve lied” is another stellar track!
Love this reaction. I recently had a breakthrough with regards to the Chili Peppers after a lifetime of thinking they were just OK and my take is similar. They play it so close to the line of self parody but at their best you can tell they really believe it. And they're just awesome musicians.
You MUST do a full album review. Masterpiece!!
Sir Psycho Sexy is a less well-known song from the same album. It is probably my favorite RHCP song.
Their best song from their best album. This is the peak.
I would love to see your reaction to their cover of "Love Rollercoaster" or "Higher Ground". Both really unique and strong interpretations on the originals.
The album this song is from (Blood Sugar Sex Magic) was released in 1991. Other great albums also from 1991 include (but not limited to) Nevermind by Nirvana, Metallica (aka the black album) by Metallica, Achtung Baby by U2, Ten by Pearl Jam, Out Of Time by REM, Gish by The Smashing Pumpkins, Sailing the Sea of Cheese by Primus, Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge by Van Halen, and Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 by Guns and Roses.
Love this song! Love running to any of their music! Orange Slice! Orange Slice!
Great album front to back can't go wrong with this.
"Lovely Man" and "Mellowship Slinky" off that album are dark horse amazing songs.
The album "Blood Sugar Sex Magic" is a banger from beginning to end! I listen to it without skipping a track! Still in my playlist after all these years. In my top ten favorite albums! 💯
Under the Bridge is a must hit song of theirs. Knock Me Down is another of my favorites.
such a great album, wore out this CD. This was back in the day before they became more mature adults when it seemed like they did everything naked including posing on magazine covers and playing on stage they were just raw and unapologetic. still make great music but this to me has been their best work.
Best Chili Peppers Album. Every song is a banger
YES! This whole album KILLS! Try "The Power of Equality" and "Breaking the Girl" next. Thanks
Peace from SF
I love the Chili Peppers..one of my favourite bands! ❤ Their evolution throughout the years has been amazing. They started out more punk rock/rap rock/funk with their first four albums. Then Blood Sugar Sex Magik was the stepping stone into RHCP 2.0. The funkiest hardcore shit. The next album was with a different guitarist and had a darker tone (fitting with the 90s grunge era). Then John Frusciante, their guitarist on album 4 and 5 came back and yet a new era was born with their next three albums together. They've become mature and so many songs have the most beautiful melodies and backing vocals♡ but there are also so many funky & foot stomping & groovy songs too! So many of their non mainstream songs are just gems and worth the listen! I'd go for these songs for reaction videos instead of the most famous ones.
This and Mother's Milk the height of RHCP power. My favorite band at the time and a great live show.
This is THE best album from the RHCP in my opinion!
From Californication on it’s garbage. When Kiedis was told he could sing.
That next song, "I Could Have Lied", is one of the most beautiful songs ever imo.
It's said that Flea plays the bass like a lead guitar. Similarly, Keith Strickland (B-52's) plays the lead guitar like it's a bass.
A key example would be their 90's hit "Debbie" (a tribute to Debbie Harry).
Flea is known as one of the greater bassists, especially in his slap style. He even has a music school on California. He and Anthony met in high school as two outcasts who “got” each other. Close as brothers.
"Higher Ground" is a great Stevie Wonder cover and "Warped" is one of their most fire tracks ever. Think you'd enjoy both.
The song that it was "bleeding into" is also S tier and a complete 180 from this song. I Could Have Lied. RHCP is an incredibly diverse band, and one of those bands that you either "get" or you don't. And I'm glad you guys are leaning towards getting it.
I love this song. so glad you like it.
Intensely late-80s/early 90s, so I could see how it might feel dated. But damn it's so great.
I don't mind Jaco or Flea winning a poll about bass, but do not pass on "Add It Up" as a song. It is an S Tier song of the 80s in the same class as three you know--Tunnel of Love, Ashes to Ashes, Spirit of Radio. It's that good.
You guys need to watch their DVD called FUNKY MONKS. It's a documentary on how they made this album . INCREDIBLE
RHCP was one of my favorite concerts I went to in the early 90s, and of course it didn't hurt that Pearl Jam and Nirvana were the opening bands.😎
