"Wait a second here.. you dont like the fuckin' bass line at the end of the song? The outro?" BIDUBIDU BUMM BUMM BOUUUDA BOAM BOAM . . .

"We never practice it. We barely know how to play it." Nails it.

John in his head " I DAMN WELL KNOW HOW TO PLAY IT"

"I feel so bad that he doesn't like Funky Monks!"

''We barely know how to play it'' sounds exactly like the studio version

chad knows this shit front to back. one of the greatest ever. and johns solo just melts your face

The chords for the chorus of this song are so cool

and then i said '' yeah thats great anthony'' but then it stuck in my head

still my favourite funk song

John inspire me so much.

see it all started with Anthony sitting on my couch and he said John come in here and listen to this guitar line i created

"So they chose a song that we really barely know how to play..." "So we've never ever played, and we didn't rehearse it, but we're playing it for you tonight, because some guy requested it..." then they proceed to nail every freaking compass and note of the song Gotta love RHCP man

sexy backing vocals from John

They should play this live again.

There's a bunch of great tracks off BSSM they (have) never played...never understood why. Apache Rose Peacock...The Righteous and the Wicked...Naked in the Rain....

"I've got to sing a little something that I haven't rehearsed." Literally. If I had to choose, I would choose Mellowship Slinky in B Major for sure!

So they play it perfectly...

damn good choice i wish they played this song live more.. they obviously could judging by this performance

This performance is amazing. And no offense to the band but they're clueless for never making it part of their repertoire. One of my all-time favorite songs.

here's the whole reason we wrote that song that you don't like..

For everyone thinking "Why does it says "B-Side"?": this specific live version is a b-side from desecration smile.

That was extremely great and funky and greatly extremely funky.

Antonhy - we barely know how to play it John frusciante - speak for yourself dude

you just don't want that outro to end. i would have chosen this.

AAAHHHH incomprehensible amounts of funk!!!!!!!!!!

wait a second here... u don't like the fucking bass line of the end of the song? outro? boodobodo boom boom puru pom pom...

This song is so epic to jam on. Great bass line.

this really shows how good they are if they really never rehearsed this (except possibly at soundcheck, if they knew the song requested). They remember the intro and rhythm line, even the lyrics. Everything is spot on.

"Funky Monks are on the run" -Tippa My Tongue

whoever got to request that song, I love him. He couldn't have made a better choice^^

Such a fucking awesome tune.

I would've gone for Quixoticelixer.

HOLY SHIT JOHNS VOIVE BRO

The song was released as a B-side for the single "Desecration Smile". As Anthony said at the beginning, the song was played at the request of a fan who won the radio competition. Although Flea never went on tour with a 5-string bass in his arsenal, Italian bass player Saturnino lent him his Sadowsky bass.

thanks for uploading, this is just great!

It’s flawless!

I love this song! The bass, guitar and drums on this song are amazing!

Wowww, didn't know this exists!! And John doing the vocals too 🔥🔥🔥

They didnt even miss a tone =) they were so great musicians together, great live show rly rly awesome!! Thanks for uploading

THANK YOU!

Love it! Miss John with the band.

that was fucking SICK! just like the studio recording and as funky as ever!

this is a brilliant version - brings back memories!

"Well let me tel you how we came up with funky monks"

It wasn't a mistake suggesting this song, it would've been one I would have asked for. But around the world? The girl in the backyard performance asked for around the world. The probably would've played that anyways. I would've picked this one, soul to squeeze, especially in michigan, or maybe even knock me down. That would've been nice to see john sing that late.

5:00 wait a second here

Awesome!

AWESOME band best song as simple as that

its so amazing, its so perfect. ist so poetry, its so...

thats sick.. not rehearsed... love the guitar and back up in this song.. and the bass.. and vocals, the whole song rocks.. especially live..

Great song!! 💪🌶️

GOOD TIME BOYS!!!!!

linda cancion!!!!

Fucking awesome… probably my favorite song of them

So good! It must be really hard to play that riff and do vocals at the same time. Thanks for uploading.

awesome

great pal

Woud love to hear John Frusciante sing more in the verse register of this performance. IE 1:31 - 1:38 He sounds very good in that register vocally and he seldom ever sings that way.

Don't remember how to play this tune my butt!

Wow, Probably one of their best songs live!

EPIC!!!!

this performance is really cool!

this is one of my favorite songs by them, its so funky, iono why they wouldnt play it more live...

great quality

This song is definitely not a B-side This is a track from the amazing album : "Blood Sugar Sex Magik"

they need to do this more

@spanky flea haha best interview ever!

This is great! They should play it live more often.

They have since brought it back in the set list, Flea even brings out a five string bass specifically for this song.

probably my favorite on the album

hahaha, that bit always makes me giggle :D

Although this is a great too, I would have loved to see this live! I love funky monks

I love this. I love it because Flea sounds like me trying to play Flea...

thanks a lot, fucking awesome song, one of the best bass lines i think

Gotta love Funky Monks and John Fusciante.....

I fucking love this version. ahhhh yessss

The fucking bass line in the end is the best part

Good call kid!

Their best album by a long mile.

it would be great to hear the '91 version of this

Flea sounds great on a 5 string bass and John well John is a living breathing guitar angel 👼🏻

great request, I think I might have requested no chump love sucker or the righteous and the wicked

song always reminds me of music for Toe jam and Earl

really nice live performance!! Without a mistake or a false voice or sthg (at least I didn't hear it)! Awesome song too

if i won that contest i would sooo request "quixotic elixir"

i wouldve asked for out in L.A. that wouldve been the awesomest thing ever

I would have picked something off One Hot Minute just to piss everyone off

i just love that fucking bassline at the end and fleas tone is just fucking orgasmic

...lol Love this band.

you're right

Your comment deserves to be on top of the unvierse

löve it
