Sailing the Sunset Strip, I'm a bit of a king
Granny would take a trip, I've been bending the strings
Got hammers in both my hands, such a delicate touch
They say I'm from Amsterdam, does that make me Dutch?

Please don't remember me, for what I did last night, oh
Please don't remember me
Lord and children
Please don't remember me, it's only 1980
It's only 1983

Smoking the reefer, feeling my own light
My brother's a keeper, I married a TV wife
The devil's Camaro, parked in the high school lot
A little sombrero 'cause teacher was way too hot

Please don't remember me, for what I did last night, oh
Please don't remember me
Listen Lord now
Please don't remember me, it's only 1980
It's only 1983

Tell my love "But leave me never"
Can't complain about the weather
Snowing at the rainbow, have a ball
Cut my teeth down at the whiskey
GTO's tried to kiss me
One more song, they have seen it all

Please don't remember me, for what I did last night, oh
Please don't remember me
What'd I say Lord?
Please don't remember me, it's only 1980
It's only 1983
Please don't remember me, for what I did with David
You know I'm talkin' David Lee
Am I ready?
Please don't remember me, for what I did last night, oh
I guess I played a Flying V

I like them for their sound, which don't show much of the heavy work behind it. Sounds rather more "accidental", but less about the outstanding art each of them in their control of the instruments, if you don't mind.

Sure I remember you, you're the guy who goes on and on and on, blah blah blah, and never says anything worth hearing.

in the conversation of really talented guitar players I don't know why J F never gets mentioned,so versatile.

Seems like RP favors later RHCP. Would also love to hear some of the stuff up to/through Blood Sugar Sex Magic. I'll never forget picking up the cassette of Freaky Styley and hearing these guys when they were young and off the wall. The later stuff doesn't do it for me, but of course that's just my bias.



By the Way was some of their best work IMO

I was already grinning, and then, that line, "The Devil's Camaro parked in the high school lot" made me LOVE it. Back then, I sure was LIVING IT --had Van Halen wailin' on the Stereo 8-Track, too! I was in the mean green Cutlass, but my buddy Danny was in The Devil's Camaro! Way to spice things up again, guys ~ dig it!

This is like a RHCP lyrical haiku to Eddie VanHalen.

Red Hot Chili Pepper guitar is so interesting :D
I have never heard this song before but recognized after 2 seconds that this has to be RHCP
Posted 1 year ago by TillDerDill    [ Reply ]
The past 3 times I heard this track here on RP it came on after some epic musical pieces so after those somehow this track just doesn’t seem as mind blowing as might meant to be.

I love the refrain of this. Such a unique song. On the other hand i know an italian band that sounds very similar. But i can hear more of this stuff anytime!

The guitar work on this one just doesn't resonate with me. 

Starts to get in the way at some point IMO

Wasn't ready for another red hot album and i'm late to discover it was release months ago...

i think this  one kicks ass...a great bass/lead guitar/drum jam.

kind of different for them.   Good for them. 
Posted 1 year ago by idiot_wind    [ Reply ]
these guys are really into their own sound .. kind of like someone watching themselves dance in the mirror - feels a bit too self indulgent for me. but i know many are into this...

A RHCP fan, but this is not really working for me - possibly more listens will help?
Posted 1 year ago by aspicer    [ Reply ]
not a big RHCP fan but liking this one. For you fans of them, 60 Minutes just did a good story on them and their longevity.

I think that's harsh. But understand your point. It does sound careless.


Have to agree on the guitar solo. Frusciante was a huge influence on me picking up a guitar when I was as a kid. He has often proved he is more than capable on his instrument of choice, but this solo/noise doesn't add to this song. I found myself heading for the skip button upon my first listen. As a supposed 'ode' to the late Eddie Van Halen he could/should have pulled something truly magical out of his bag.

The song probably would be good, if the sound engineering was better produced.
It really does sound disconnected

I agree strongly with the  A+ for Flea.  I think the guitar solo might warrant a bit more than a B- for Frusciante.  But yeah, it's like the band was playing a rocking song in one room and Kiedis was "singing" some half baked lyrics in another room that was in an entirely different city and they just put one track on top of the other with no regard for whether they actually went together.

*meh* 
I keep trying to like them….I do. But I never much cared for RHCP….and this zany tune just reinforces that.  
I just don’t get into their groove. 
Music is simply profound. One person’s likes & dislikes can be miles apart from another’s. To each his/her own! 
Long Live RP!

It's about Eddie van Halen, but I'm not really sure about what he's trying to say, maybe I'm missing some context, anyone have an idea?
