September 24, 1991 was the greatest day ever in rock music, RHCP “BSSM”, Soundgarden “BadMotorFinger” and Nirvana “Nevermind” all released on the same day.
@@reggiesoundbox4923 Flea has had bit parts in a few movies... Point Break... and a few others.... I guess he gets in what he can between RHCP commitments.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have a sound that is completely unto themselves. Songs that are insightful, poetic, rageful, introspective, reaffirming, soulful, socially conscious, anthems etc. Completely original and skull rattling from beginning to end.
I grew up in the 70's on classic rock; but there are some bands that came later, that classic rock fans should pay more attention to. RHCP is one of those bands.
The way he rolls his tongue as he repeats "Give it Away Now" wow. That would be a challenge for another singer to give it the Anthony Kiedis technique. Their sound is unmistakable. His voice and technique is unmistakable. Thank you for sharing and I don't mind the small box video, I am set up to speakers, its all about listening to the music.
This video was one of the biggest of the MTV heyday The 1992 MTV Video Music Awards aired live on September 9, 1992, honoring the best music videos from June 16, 1991, to June 15, 1992. The show was hosted by Dana Carvey at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. The night's biggest winners were Van Halen and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as each group earned three moonmen that night. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, meanwhile, won the award for Viewer's Choice and received a total of nine nominations for two of their videos, becoming the most nominated act of the night. Six of the Peppers' nominations were for "Give It Away", and the remaining three went to "Under the Bridge". - wiki
This song is unusual because the vocals are all sung on one note. The guitar riff in the last few bars is a quote from Black Sabbath’s song Sweet Leaf.
@@pyroclast It was the only critique I've ever had with our Brother. Before he looked at any Weird Al song; should've watched the video first. Would have completely changed the reaction for the better.
This is one of my favorite albums. Please listen to "Power of Equality", "if you have to ask", "funky monks", "mellowship in slinky b minor", " Apache Rose Peacock" & "Sir Psycho Sexy" thanks.
I love when they guest starred on the Simpsons and Krusty suggested changing the lyrics to this song. Krusty: Well, okay, but here where it says, "What I got you gotta get and put it in ya," how about just, "What I'd like is I'd like to hug and kiss ya." Flea: Wow. That's much better.
Mary Wilson was an American singer. She gained worldwide recognition as a founding member of The Supremes, the most successful Motown act of the 1960s and the best-charting female group in U.S. chart history, as well as one of the best-selling girl groups of all-time. (Rest in Peace----Mary Wilson----1944--2021) Condolences to Miss Wilson's family, friends and fans)
@@olgak.1139 Mary Wilson, along with Diana Ross and Florence Ballard, came to Motown in the early 1960s. After an unprecedented string of No. 1 hits, television and nightclub bookings, "The Supremes" opened doors for themselves, and other Motown acts.
You're an amazing guy for putting those videos even though the struggles you're going through with them. What a great mindset you got, keep it up! We love you man!
@@chrisjaybecker Graham and the Ox are why I picked up the bass in the first place. Well, them and Jonesy and Waters. If we're bringing up Jaco, how about Mingus? Stanley Clarke?
Glad you got back to the Peppers. Such a deep, deep rabbit hole to jump into. I'd suggest "Higher Ground", "The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie", "Tell Me Baby", and "Go Robot"
In their early days, they would come out on stage wearing nothing but a sock. Yes, THERE! The rumor/story is that one of the venues had them arrested for indecent exposure. I don't know if it made it to court, but it was decided they had to have 75% coverage. With 4 of them in the band, that means 3 of them had to be dressed, while Flea was still doing the sock thang! Hilariously sounds like them, true or not!
First time I saw them was at the L.A. Street Scene about 35/36 years ago. Their music was so fresh and unique. Almost lost a shoe in that crazy crowd. Fun times.
such a great song, and such a great album overall! You should check out Dani California (another song by these guys) from their Stadium Arcadium album, it's another great one!!
You should react to "Will Ferrell and Chad Smith Drum-Off" that occurred The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Chad Smith and Will Ferrell could be twins! They have a staged drum off, and the ending is fucking killer!
We watch you frequently. It's truly special to see someone who has a deep love of music discover songs and really feel them. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I have several songs to suggest for you, no reaction necessary, just think you would enjoy the artistry and beauty. If you are looking for some tunes to check out on your own time, I'd love to send you a list.
Theres a River born to be a giver. Keep you warm, wont let you shiver. His heart is never gonna wither. RIP River Phoenix. You and your kindness will always be remembered.
I am so happy you're reacting to RHCP! They've been my favourite band since I was young 🥰 I'd love for you to check out Soul To Squeeze. It's my favourite song by them ❤️
Oh man, I still remember when they released their absolute masterpiece "Blood, sugar, sex, magic" - and this very song was my introduction to them!! Flea is funky as hell...
ICONIC. Top fave! Also fun fact : "There's a River born to be a giver, keep you warm, won't let you shiver, his heart is never gonna wither" is a reference to friend of the band and fan, River Phoenix, who passed away while they were recording the album.
I grew up with those songs. Love it! What I read about the video: No idea what we should make, just collect all silvery stuff in the studio and drive out into the desert and lets see what comes out of this.
By the way...RHCP early years claim to fame was they performed wearing only one sock, nothing more. You can use your imagination to figure out where the sock was 😉
Ever since this song's release, I've spontaneously broken out singing 'Giving it away! Giving it away! Giving it away now!'. I'm not even sure what the hell it means. It's just so damn catchy.
Ha! I was at the first lollapalooza a million years ago. What an amazing time! There were more than a few people with metallic body paint wandering around the festival. Thanks for reminding me that I’m getting older. :p
As far as Flea, he is the Eddie Van Halen, or Neil Peart of bass guitarists, he is underatted and not always mentioned when talking about the greats that have "slappa da bass". He's wrote or co-wrote a lot of music for other artists, especially hip-hop, if you've ever seen the video for Young MC, "Bust A Move" you'll see a very young flea in some stuffed animal pants, dancing around playing bass, he wrote the mucsic for the song too. Thanks for another great reaction!!
All these early 90’s jams take me back to high school. Simpler times. Getting the feels again watching Jamel react. Early 90’s rock is classic like late 60’s rock. Timeless and powerful.
That backwards music you hear was started by the Beatles back in 66 on their Revolver album. Songs like She Said She Said, I'm Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows and their single Rain have it.
Jamel there is a soundtrack to a movie called Judgement Night from 1993 where every track is a collab between a rock + hip hop artist eg. Living Color & Run DMC, Slayer & Ice-T, Pearl Jam & Cypress Hill, Biohazard & Onyx, Helmet & House of Pain, Faith No More & Boo-Yaa Tribe, Teenage Fanclub & De La Soul, Mudhoney & Sir Mix-a-lot.
First time I heard this song I went to meet a guy at a restaurant he managed. While waiting it came on tv 😁. It was soooooo different, funky and good song all around 💗
Bringing up a memory of driving a neighbor's son to high school because his Mom was ill. I was blasting this song when I pulled up and his grin was so wide!!! This song in particular gets me up and dancing, if possible! Thank you for sharing! 😽🖤
JAMEL! The DJ’s at school dances when I was growing up only played rap and R&B. Never rock. One time in the 7th grade, I slipped this CD to the the DJ and told him to play this track, and everyone just kept dancing. 🙂
Fun fact: Anthony Kiedis got the thoughts about giving from Nina Hagen, a german female rock singer who is a bit spaced out but with a great voice --> check her out
I think this is their best video, love the high energy of it..so works with the music, such a great band...was awesome watching them perform when they were inducted into the Rock N Roll hall of Fame
The Red Hot Chili Peppers loved Funk Music growing up. One of the their inspirations was George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. In fact, George Clinton produced the Peppers’ 1985 album “Freaky Styley”.
Theres a river born to be a giver Keep you warm won't let you shiver His heart is never gonna wither Come on everybody its time to deliver That was for River Phoenix
I totally agree that "Love Rollercoaster" is an absolute most if you haven't had the chance to appreciate it yet ❣️❣️❣️💯💯 P.S. I completely adore the work you do on here, introducing the myriad of wonderful genre's To the people of yesterday, today, and tomorrow ❣️❣️❣️💯💯
🤣great memories of me (in my dreaded van) rolling up to my kids conservative private school- they wanted to listen to the end of this song before school! They appreciate funk and I couldn’t be more proud! (LOVE these guys) 💕
I saw them and Fishbone play in 1985 at LA Street Scene, which was a free concert in DTLA. If you haven't already, check out Fishbone. I was obsessed with them in high school and still love them. Their first album is still the best and I love "Cholly" too.
Man, I remember, this was the first video I ever saw on MTV. I'd been listening to a lot of music, but it was mostly Billy Joel. Not that there's anything wrong with Billy Joel, of course, but Give It Away was my first taste of "what the kids were listening to at the time." And man, really opened me up to all the great music that was coming out in the Early 90s. It's still what I go back to when I want a pick-me-up. RHCP, Nirvana, AiC, Soundgarden, Green Day. Those were some great times in music and great times to watch MTV.
When the band won their first Grammy for this song, the category was Best Hard Rock Performance (thereby proving that, once again, the awards people had not a clue). One member said in an interview that the award might as well have been named, "best song by white guys playing electric instruments". The band made a point of saying that it was straight up funk, and came partially out of their longtime association with George Clinton.
Well, I feel old now! I was 19 years old when this came out and still in high school! I had missed some of my Freshman and Sophomore years due to health problems!
The fist time I heard the RHCP it changed my life and music taste forever it was Sikamikanico from the Wayne's World soundtrack I was an instant fan and collected all their albums. If you listen to the peppers I think you got great taste
I read somewhere that the video director had never directed the Chili Peppers before, but he basically took them out to the Mojave Desert, painted the band silver, then said, "Action." The band simply spazzed out on camera and that's all it took.
This is the first time I’m seeing these RHCP videos. I have to laugh, because my first introduction to these songs was via Weird Al’s parody, “Bedrock Anthem”.

Vintage year
Primal scream screamadelica
Metallica black album
REM out of time
I new they came out close together but never realized it was the same day, that's just awesome!
That is amazing.
The same day?! That's nuts, imagine going to the recordshop with your piggybank and having to pick one.
the great wallet massacre of 1991 :'(
RHCP, unapologetically in a class of their own.
Definitely top tier.
They certainly did their own thing. If you've never read Anthony Keidis book about the band it's bloody brilliant.
🎩top stuff; great bunch of lads 🖖
This was one of the best CDs ever put out, pure genius Rock.
True, a staple in music history
Tell me about! FRONT TO BACK!!!
Still is
Not rock but psychedelic bone crunching mayhem sex funk rap rock hardcore alternative punk metal pop from heaven
@@surfboarding5058 that is the single greatest description of RHCP I’ve ever seen. Props sonnn
Flea is special. We won’t see another like him for a long while. ❤️
Like the only thing I would even put as close would be my man from Primus.
Nope. With entertainment being so corporate and controlled, we’ll probably never see artists like this again.
An extremely talented, and an amazing, kind and humble person. You gotta love Flea! A true Musician.
I like his cameo in Back To The Future trilogy... I think it was in 2 and 3...
@@reggiesoundbox4923 Flea has had bit parts in a few movies... Point Break... and a few others.... I guess he gets in what he can between RHCP commitments.

I grew up in the 70's on classic rock; but there are some bands that came later, that classic rock fans should pay more attention to. RHCP is one of those bands.
Early 90's had a huge resurgence of great rock music

I can do it, but I've been a vocalist for over 50 yrs.
it isn't that hard to do
I can do it, but my accent and speed of talking helps
I can do it 🥲 but maybe that’s bc I’m not American?? I don’t have that accent soo idk if that’s what it is tho lol
I can do it just fine. He's just sayin it kinda fast. It's the 'it' in give it away that makes it sound harder than it rlly is

30-year-old song that is still as fresh as it was in my youth ..lol great reaction
I was 16 years old when this song was released, and I was discovering all these new sounds and having a blast. 1991 was an amazing year.
I took this album with me on a spring trip to Italy and Greece at age 16-17... GOOOOD vibes
I want jamel to react to 1% by Jane's next
Bro from 75’ too !🤘🏼
Try their cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground”.
This song is unusual because the vocals are all sung on one note. The guitar riff in the last few bars is a quote from Black Sabbath’s song Sweet Leaf.
Gotham61 thanks for that. I've heard this song hundreds of times yet never picked that reference. Cool!
"Love Rollercoaster" and "Aeroplane" are funky must listen.
Blood,Sugar,Sex,Magic is probably their best album. Every track is AMAZING. 1 Hot Minute is good too. The middle era (late80s-90s) is the best.
One hot minute is an amazing album 👌
Debatable and relatable
Okay brother, you gotta do Weird Al's spoof on this now: Bedrock.
Yabba dabba doo!

@@hughdalton7622 Completely agree, a cold viewing is good but not as good when you know the source.
For sure! It is a mistake many of the reactors make with the Weird Al stuff, especially the ones with videos.
Maybe Jamal will re-watch Al's version on his own now that he has just seen this one & Under The Bridge recently. He'll find it even more amusing now!
This is one of my favorite albums. Please listen to "Power of Equality", "if you have to ask", "funky monks", "mellowship in slinky b minor", " Apache Rose Peacock" & "Sir Psycho Sexy" thanks.
“Blood Sugar Sex Magik” is my fave too. 30 years old now, wow.
Righteous and the wicked?
Power of equality is one of my top 3
More RHCP:
- Otherside
- Dark Necessities
- Around the world
Otherwise might be their most underrated song. Beautiful video (also underrated) to go with it.
My friends?
Infectious Grooves Therapy

Their album "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" is still one of the best end-to-end records ever.

Well, I feel old now! I was 19 years old when this came out and still in high school! I had missed some of my Freshman and Sophomore years due to health problems!
I saw you already did Weird Al's parody of the song (Bedrock Anthem) before you saw the actual video
Yabba dabba do now.🤣
The fist time I heard the RHCP it changed my life and music taste forever it was Sikamikanico from the Wayne's World soundtrack I was an instant fan and collected all their albums. If you listen to the peppers I think you got great taste
I read somewhere that the video director had never directed the Chili Peppers before, but he basically took them out to the Mojave Desert, painted the band silver, then said, "Action." The band simply spazzed out on camera and that's all it took.
First time i seen them perform was in the movie thrashing skateboarding movie from 1986 i believe
This is the first time I’m seeing these RHCP videos. I have to laugh, because my first introduction to these songs was via Weird Al’s parody, “Bedrock Anthem”.
