Fionn Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) An hour-long documentary film of the Red Hot Chili Peppers recording Blood Sugar Sex Magik in 1991. Pretty entertaining stuff ... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qnkyoVCXWw[/media] Edited March 20, 2013 by Fionn Quote
risingson Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Love that documentary! Really great album. Quote
Immo Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks for finding that vid. I love that album (duh!, who doesn't?), I'll watch this soon. Quote
flyfisher Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Flea sums it all up very nicely between 21:53 and 23:10. Quote
thisnameistaken Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Poor John he looks so fragile all the way through that. What a player though. Quote
wombatboter Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Sorry but it would drive me crazy to hang around with these drug-orientated musicians however good the music might be... Two days in this environment and I would pack my bass and leave ...I'd rather work and play with other people who don't seem to be somewhere else in the galaxy. Quote

[/quote] Em, John was on doing hard drugs, Flea was smoking some dope, the others were clean. This is pretty much the end of their drug fuelled era. apart from John, he went really mad with drugs after this. I have this on DVD. It's pretty cool. Quote

[/quote] Soz to be a geek but I've read different interviews by both John and Flea about this time and they say they were both hitting the bong hard with just weed at the time and they were really tight together as friends at this point. The tightness of the grooving on the album says the same I reckon. It was after John quit the band that he took a nose-dive into the heavy stuff. I've watched Funky Monks at least once a year since it was first released. If ever I find myself down in a rut creatively, this never fails to get the ju-ju flowing again Quote

Fionn Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Btw, what is the bass that Flea is playing in the majority of his clips in the film? Does anyone know? Quote
MiltyG565 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Probably a Wal Mach 2. Either that or a stingray 5. That's what it was recorded with anyway. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Best album ever still both musically and production wise IMO Quote
