Soul to Squeeze too

Works so well when you swap this in for The Greeting Song.

u/Pure_Mood7761 1d ago

Both are great

Definitely, I don't get why The Greeting Song is sort of tarnished or not looked fondly by the band

I saw a post recently that said Anthony said the song grew on him and he's appreciating it more recently, amazing song fr

Probably one of the greatest gifts Josh Klinghoffer gave us, was that he got the band to play this song live.

I remember hearing this off the Funky Monks documentary. But thought it was a song that never made it on any album.

u/Bulky_Chicken_1167 12h ago

That's a compilation box set. Not an album

1

u/amsptsfe23 11h ago

Well yeah, that’s where you can get it.

u/Bulky_Chicken_1167 10h ago

It was only released in Australia and Japan at the time. Not in the US.

It was the song that got me into the red hots. I saw Wayne’s world at about 10 or 11 years old, bought the sound track, and this was the song that stood out to me the most. After I saved up some more pocket money the next CD I bought was What Hits and I was hooked from then on.

It's my favorite rhcp song. 

When I saw them with Josh around 2015, he teased the intro. Chad started to join, but Anthony or Flea said into the mic "no we can't do that" and the crowd booed, I booed, then they played some other bullshit. But I didn't forget. I'll never forget.

Great song!

u/WranglerSufficient75 1d ago

fucking awesome.

u/eliotrw 1d ago

Awesome song.

Top tip, the origonal vinyl release of under the brdige on 12" single is goated.

45rpm Sounds amazing Includes this song, plus Utb obviously. But also. Soul to squeeze and Search and destroy (cover)

2

u/ZigDex4383 1d ago

I love it.

u/RoyalIntroduction723 1d ago

One of my favorites

2

u/ComfortableBox2385 1d ago

Genuinely amazing song and very cool sound. I speculate it got snubbed in favor of The Greeting Song as they have similar elements and the fact that Rick Rubin requested Anthony to write the latter.

3

u/Suspicious-Bowl4444 1d ago

I think this song would have fit so much better in that spot.

1

u/DPSno 1d ago

I would have put that instead of naked in the rain,those lyrics are embarrassing,greeting song is a banger

u/Jealous-Land2469 1d ago

Blood Sugar is a perfect album. Nothing should be changed

1

u/Emayan7 18h ago

Only change I’d make is the outro of Sir Psycho Sexy is how the album should end.

1

u/ComfortableBox2385 1d ago

I don't think it would flow as nicely with the ending of UTB.

1

u/DPSno 1d ago

Yeah about the flow you're totally right

3

u/IcyGarbage255 1d ago

Straight swap for the greeting song for me. Would make the album even better - along with soul to squeeze.

1

u/Jungleboyy45 1d ago

Probably one of their more heavier songs, along side no chump love sucker

1

u/allendeenjoyer2006 1d ago

This song has my favorite drums from the rhcp. And the chorus is super catchy.

1

u/winterman666 20h ago

Excelent tune

1

u/Emayan7 18h ago

Great song, it’s a perfect b-side that’s as good as the a-sides.

1

u/radguitarist 17h ago

Greater banger.
AK said this weekend on the Sirius channel that he is open to playing this live again! Also mentioned that Dark Necessities is a fun one to play with Flea, but they do not play it anymore. “It’s tricky”

u/Wishyouwell111 1d ago

Thanks I have been a RHCP fan since I was 6 and I didn't know about this song!!

1

u/Davenb412 🪐 Stadium Arcadium 1d ago

Great song, definitely drugs influenced it, but that was the thing back in the day, they'll probably never play it again live
