2 ай бұрынIn the late 1990s, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were at a very pivotal moment in their career. Californication saw the return of John Frusciante and the result was their biggest album yet! With songs like Scar Tissue, Road Trippin, Around The World and of course Californication.

I'm aware John Frusciante wasn't their first guitarist, by 'original' member I meant original member of the classic line up.

I can't stand errors like these. It always feels like the video has been created with little to no effort. However we all are humans we make mistakes but this mistake would have been avoided by checking Wikipedia or something. Takes two minutes. Jeez.

@@tk-hf4oz I think you'd be surprised how much effort actually goes into making a video. My primary aim with these is to document methods of recording for engineers and producers. I was aware he wasn't their first guitarist and by 'original' member I meant original member of the classic line up so the semantics are a little off for sure , just an honest mistake.

Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons were founding members, but they didn't even play on their debut album, which lets face it was, and still is, horrendous.

If you wanna pull at hairs, Jack Sherman was their guitarist on their debut album along with the supporting tour, not Hillel. Hillel and Jack Irons chose What Is This over the Chili Peppers thinking that band had a better shot. So the first record we got Jack Sherman and Cliff Martinez on the first 2 records. We got Hillel for 2 records and Jack Irons for 1.

His pedalboard for the Californication tour just had distortion, fuzz, phaser, wah, and chorus. At that time, that was true.

@TGFalk Ай бұрын
The reason the album is so narrow and mono is because Jim Scott sent almost every instrument to a single STA-level compressor. That piece of gear baked everything together nicely and is a huge part of the overall sound.

The final mix of this album was little too compressed imo…there was another version I heard (the front cover was green instead of orange) that was an uncompressed version, which sounded amazing. Everything was so much clearer and you could hear all the nuances on the playing. Great album.

I'm still oddly bitter at how weird and bad this album sounds. I get the vibe they were going for, but one person's "raw" is another person's "unpolished". IMO, Californication sounds kinda trashy. Wishful thinking, but IMAGINE how amazing this album would have been, if Brendan OBrien was behind the boards, and it was recorded back at the Laurel Canyon mansion. The songs of Californication, with the sonics of BSSM...
@yetanotheruser1989 Ай бұрын
It's raw but has an overly compressed mix/master. I think the song writing and playing really shines through, but yeah, a bit of polish would have worked nicely
