Can we just have a few moments of silence after this song?

This song depresses me because it reminds me of how much I loved their earlier music (e.g., Uplift Mofo Party Plan) and how bland they would become.

You are all wrong, the song is about living under a bridge, as all the heroin adicts end up there.

I also could easily never hear this one again.

This song was compiled from Anthony's journal entries as he was overcoming heroin addiction. I find it incredibly powerful.

Love this. Great snapshot of the era. Great guitar doodling.

This song was written before the riots happened. This CD was released in October 1991; the L.A. riots happened April 1992.

Hmmm...let's see (random chronology) Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Creed, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Def Lepperd, Chicago, Herman's Hermits...I could go on--there are MANY bands who are REALLY relentlessly crappy and overplayed. Chili Peppers isn't(aren't?) one of them.

this is the only song of theirs I can listen to

Solid 9 for the memories of being a teen in the 90's

nice little diddy for the morning, thanks Bill!

Always amazing!

Sometimes I feel like this song's really boring
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna throw up
But the people, they love it... I don't understand it
This song is just trite and it's too overplayed

Chorus

I don't have a water field, like i did dat day
Take me to da play silo, take me all da way

:puke:

There's only one secret in Rock'n Roll, in german we call it "schnabbeldizupf".
The Chilli Peppers know it!
Got it?

Norah Jones started a downward spiral from such great heights.

7:54 am - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge
7:50 am - Tom Waits - Heartattack And Vine
7:46 am - Shawn Colvin - (Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night
7:43 am - Norah Jones - The Long Way Home
7:40 am - Toots & The Maytals - Reggae Got Soul
7:38 am - The Blasters - I'm Shakin'
7:33 am - James Horner - Sing, Sing, Sing
7:29 am - Dandy Warhols - Plan A
7:24 am - Ben Harper - Faded

I went from cranking the stereo/computer to turning off the stream in 4 songs. I wouldn't have it any other way. RP rules!

Ahh yes, I remember this tune being way over played on FM. Have no idea why Bill thought it necessary to play it again on Radio Paradise. ? I'd rather the over commercialized pop stay out of here.

In 40+ years of listening to popular music, I've never encountered a band so relentlessly crappy yet, in some cosmic balance, so relentlessly over-hyped and over-played.

Any band that performs with 'socks on their cocks' definately gets my vote.

I've liked the RHCP ever since I got their self-titled cassette tape too many years ago. No, this isn't musical genius, but it's original, meaningful, and soulful. Overplayed or not, Under the Bridge is a 10 in my book.

I dunna wunna beeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
anywhere but LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
take me hunna gunna beeeeeeeeee
