Whats the best Red Hot Chili Peppers song?

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

To me it's gotta be "Give It Away". It gives me happy memories of being a little kid, and it's just damn fun. If I ever learn bass I'd love to tackle learning how to play this lol.

I can't say what their best song is because, frankly, I don't care for their music.

BUT, I know their best album cover, and that's 1989's "Mother's Milk"!

Cover of the album "Mother's Milk" by The Red Hot Chili Peppers

difficult to pick just one... since like you, many of their songs attached to a few great memories, lol...

can I just pick all of the Californication album? lol... I'll go with that

if not, then I'll just go with Zephyr Song, as being the most recent and significant one when it comes to, memories with...

[Kaneki05]

Don't like them and never understood why people did apart from Can't stop but even that's just a cheesy song shrugs.
If you got a meh support band and these guys then had me try guess which one was the support band I would probably guess these.

[Ill_made_Knight]

I used to play bass, it really isn't horribly difficult. We never did any RHCP as we were more blues rock, but Flea is pretty damn good.
Ya ever look at any video like this... gives you apretty good idea what playing that line would look like

[MysticDevice]

Eeehhh I mean... its the red hot chili peppers. I never got into them lol

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

They are unfortunately one of the many kind of bands that have shirts that posers abuse lol

[MysticDevice]

Thats probably part of the reason I don't like them 😅

[AngryCarl]

To be honest I'm not familiar with their whole catalogue, but I quite like By the Way.

I can't deal with the rap kind of vocals.

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

Yeah I get that, I'm usually quite picky about rap vocal style

[qwert1234]
