10 best chi peps vids on youtube
Current mood: savage
the other day i spent about 4 hours searching youtube for all things chi peps.... chad smith drum solos, flea bass solos, chad and flea jamming together, acoustic versions of songs, interviews, covers etc..... this is the best of the best.... also if you didnt know the chi peps all have arrest records for sexual assault:

this is on the list for the stellar vocal performance homegirl delivers.... killer comments too: "nice, really! your singing and playing fits, and it's just a great song.
One little thing: don't wanna patronize you and I don't know if its all your intentention to play the song the way you do, but originally, before the verses start (eg "I drive on the streets") on E major 7th fret there's this very nice E Maj 7 chord with root on the A-string to build up tension... have you ever considered to play that?"

this one really fucks with you.... its like "this is the most awful shit ever, when is snoop gonna come out"..... then 4 minutes in he finally does its like the most underwhelming experience of your life.... also kiedis looks seriously smacked out

you could youtube a glass of ice metling and there would be more action then we get here.... but for real when this bassline kicks in, you can just feel flea's soul living through this young mug..... also why does he look so nervous before he plays? it makes for real tense watching

this one is fucking unreal.... i even left a comment on it..... the bass drum cam is so next level.... like heath said earlier 'if you're ever in a bad mood just put this on and it will be over in 2 seconds'

watch and learn

this one is even sicker than the one before it..... dude is real good at throwing his stix in the air and catching em which is more than i can say about most drummers.... like my man cms6506 says "one of the best live drummers out there. Not only for skill, but also for the fact that he has fun while playing and gets the crowd into it. amazing video."

did you know flea wrote songs for the peps on "one hot minute"? would you believe lyrically hes on par with anthony? well all you disbelievers just check this one
3. http://youtube.com/watch?v=DKOc2S1AkjE
this one kind of takes the cake..... live on a boat in amsterdam 92, smacked out of their minds, just sounding so awful..... every guitar player should be required to learn how frusciante grooves...... he looks killer

i think i am officially gay after watching this one

yeah this is the best one..... just some dude playing along to an mp3 of "under the bridge"... all you see the whole time is his guitar.... misses the first 8 seconds on the jam cause hes gotta click the mouse to start it..... the youtube community gives this dude a lot of props, people want lessons from him and shit
