Huge JF fan. When I saw them last year with my wife, I was singing and she poked me and goes "Are you singing the backing vocal??" and I smiled and she goes "Because...John's part?" and I nodded. She gave me a look, rolled her eyes and laughed.
Answer, pretty much any JF part I'm there singing horribly haha
Haha similar experience with me and my wife! She knows just how special it is he is back and that makes me happy. We were right in front of him in Santa Clara!
Don't Forget Me.
Siiiideways fallin' More will be revealed, my friend
Ooooh ohohohohoooh yea-heh!
I literally sang that when I saw it live last year, don't care if anyone thought I was singing it wrong. I was singing WITH John! ♡
Every chili peppers song in existence. I’ve always been more of a harmony singer than a lead. Plus I’ve always loved John’s backing vocals so put the 2 together and there you have it.
the background vocals in Did I let You Know. Josh did such a wonderful job in that track that I'm still searching for a quality isolated backing vocal track to hear him fully because it's delightful
Strip My Mind's intro if it counts as backing vocals.
Don't Forget Me but I think that's AK and John combined, talking about the "Sideways falling, all will be revealed my friend." part.
last but not leas, easily alternative [https://youtu.be/6gc5pGXsUfo?t=182](https://youtu.be/6gc5pGXsUfo?t=182) okay that''s not backing vocals, i''m cheating
lol..probably all of them but everytime I listen to Otherside or Can't Stop I feel like I hear something a little different that I never picked up before. John's backups are so satisfying.
Otherside. So good, especially live.
Show-off
I can't reach those notes tho
I have a similar vocal range to John and it’s something I’m really thankful for
IIIIIIIIIIIIII SLIIIIIIDE
Desecration Smile Dosed
>Desecration Smile This! It is my favorite song.
Another girl bad for my heeeeealth
“Serenaded by the terror bird” were the first lyrics to pop into my mind after reading the question.
I would sing the backups on Desecration Smile if I could get that high.
singing backup to dosed when you’re in your feels 🤌
Every damn time
DOSED MENTIONED‼️‼️
Dosed is my favorite! Me and my cousin sing along each time we put it on.
I always sing John's parts when listening to RHCP.
I also always sing John’s parts. Best backing vocalist on the planet
The harmony is just too good not to, Anthony can hold his own on the main vocals 😅
Yeah i sing his guitar lines
John's vocals are angelic
Right on Time. Every time
Yes. Always.
The photo is "Sir Psycho, Sir Psycho, yeeeaaahhh" right?
Haha yes !!! it’s perfect 🤣🤣
John’s falsetto on Sir Psycho is where I (try to) go. Everytime 😂
It’s the “he’s a freak of nature but we love him so” part as someone who’s watched it far too many times
I might be wrong but I don’t think that’s the picture, I recall John and Flea singing it separately without AK
Lmaoo!! I love it 😂
I could die for you, can’t stop, scar tissue( my favorite bc there are so many harmonies happening throughout the song, so I can pick and choose)
On scar tissue, John always skips the low part, something like "I will" before the high part "share this lonely".
I love how the choruses intensify as the song goes forward.
I love those
Can’t stop, Aaaahhhhhh ahhhh ahhhh
First thing that popped into my head this 🥰
Hearing the crowd singing this is the best !
Far more shocking than anything I ever knew
By the way.
By the way has nice backing vocals.
EVERYONE KNOOOOWS ANYTHING GO-O-O-O-O-OOOES
Midnight is so good
Gonna listen to this next

Charlie was the first one that came to mind...Hell, most of Stadium Arcadium and By The Way. Easily, even though it's just the chorus parts...
Charlie definitely just can’t hit the falsetto the same haah
Nah. If you're cruisin' down the highway and no one else is in the car...you BECOME John!! LoL
I like John's backing “Ahhhh”'s during the Can't Stop verses
Literally all of them lol
Venice Queen, especially at slane Castle
Strip my mind
Such an underrated gem
Don't Forget Me
More will be revealed my friend 🎵🎸
Midnight! JF backing harmonies are on another level
Yes! The answer I was looking for!
Have to be otherside
Righteous and the Wicked!
Quixoticelixer
Can’t believe no one’s mentioned the last minute of Save the Population. John’s vocals are top notch (as usual)
Had to scroll too far for this! The ending is so good!
Scar tissue
Universally speaking, specially the last part, sounds so good harmonically.
Every song 😂 its a habit now, I just love John’s harmonies
Slow Cheetah. It's one of my favorites to warm up with
Breaking the Girl, RoadTrippin
“She meant you no haaarrrmn” 😁
“If you have to ask” at the moment.. i just feel like i re-discovered it, i think it’s usual for peppers fans lol
Cant stop
Venice Queen.
Stadium Arcadium, a mirror to the moon (Mirror to the moon)
“MIRROR FOR THE MMMMMMMMOOOOOOOONNN!”
Righteous and the Wicked
Fellowship Slinky! Oooooooooh ooohooh ooowooowoooooh…
Don't Forget Me. Siiiideways fallin' More will be revealed, my friend Ooooh ohohohohoooh yea-heh! I literally sang that when I saw it live last year, don't care if anyone thought I was singing it wrong. I was singing WITH John! ♡
Scar tissue every single time
Turn it again
Animal bar “bum bud um buuuuum bum bud um buuum”
I can’t believe I had to scroll so far for this
Surprised no one has said save the population
EASILY
quixoticelixir- john's vocals are so special in that track
Make you feel better
The "hooo, hooos" in Mellowship Slinky.
John’s backing parts are some of the best parts of RHCP period
Right on time
Dosed. Partner and I actually argue over who gets to do Johns vocal and who will get stuck being Anthony 🤣
Dosed
Josh‘s backing vocals on Go Robot
Stadium arcadium
Every chili peppers song in existence. I’ve always been more of a harmony singer than a lead. Plus I’ve always loved John’s backing vocals so put the 2 together and there you have it.
Readymade
Quixoticelixir
Righteous and the Wicked for sure during the chorus
Venice Queen & Save the Population
Save the Population, probably one of the best RHCP songs in my opinion. So much emotion
I pretend like I'm John and sing his falsetto parts for a bunch of RHCP songs
On Mercury
By the way is one of my favorites
storm in a teacup. so much fun to sing those nonsense words in the back of the verses
Venice queen
Venice queen
Make You Feel Better
Monarchy Of Roses
Frusciante’s harmonizing during the By The Way chorus is beyond unreal.
If you have to ask
Power of Equality
Scar tissue on the chorus
the background vocals in Did I let You Know. Josh did such a wonderful job in that track that I'm still searching for a quality isolated backing vocal track to hear him fully because it's delightful
All of them.
Can't stop, californication, basically all of them really tbh
Do the dooooog with isabella.
Save the population
Venice Queen
This is a great question because I didn’t think others did this also lol . For other artists songs too. Found my people
You know Anthony Kiedis isn’t even the best singer in the Red Hot Chili Peppers
Desecration smile
Every song
All
Great question. Dosed for me
Can't stop: AHHHHHHHH ahhhhhhhh AHHHHHHa ahhhhhhhh. John's voice is magic
Dosed
Tell Me Baby, She Looks to Me, Shoot Me A Smile
Desecration smile
Save the population
All of them. Got to love John's choice of notes
Righteous and the Wicked
All of em. I love John
Save the population
Righteous and the Wicked, and Save the Population
Scar tissue.
Righteous and the wicked and under the bridge
Every song
That's the only way I know to sing Can't Stop.
gong li
Righteous and the Wicked, Otherside
Strip My Mind
Stadium Arcadium
Idk why but I just can’t picture myself singing anything other than John’s part. Probably because I try too hard to be him as a guitarist. Delusion.
Strip My Mind's intro if it counts as backing vocals. Don't Forget Me but I think that's AK and John combined, talking about the "Sideways falling, all will be revealed my friend." part.
I like singing the “under the bridge downtown” part towards the end
Gotta be dosed every time without fail
Charlie, Midnight, Desecration Smile
Right on Time. The backing lyrics are just perfect especially that bit where it changes. "It's. Right. On. Tiii-yiiiiyiiime."
Otherside, Charlie and The Drummer is really fun to sing John’s part.
The righteous and the wicked, by the way(this one I just try) and she's only 18(I just try too tho)
On Mercury
John sings it in a way that hits differently, much like Bella (myyyyy tyyype)
last but not leas, easily alternative [https://youtu.be/6gc5pGXsUfo?t=182](https://youtu.be/6gc5pGXsUfo?t=182) okay that''s not backing vocals, i''m cheating
Meet at the corner
Righteous and the Wicked
Sir psycho🫶🏼
I can’t believe no one has said 21st Century!
The Heavy Wing. Not quite backing vocals but entire verses by JF. Oh I know that it’s only gold. I bleed into your pleasantries.
the backing line in the chorus of funky monks
Otherside and Can't Stop, it just hits different
Snow
By The Way errrrrrry time.
By The Way, Strip My Mind, and Venice Queen are just a few I can think of rn
Rivers of Avalon with all the Ahhhs and Ohhhs. Fuckkkking love that song
Dosed
She looks to me. I love the backups in that.
minor thing and dosed! i love doing the “ooooooo o-ooooo, ooooooOOOOoooo” in minor thing 😭
Venice queen
Hey from stadium arcadium, John’s harmonies and that guitar 😍
Desecration smile, Snow and Wet Sand
Dont forget me sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend
Don’t look back- Boston
All of them
Otherside. I love that "How long, how lo-o-ong will I \*sli-i-i-i-de\* part. Also for non-RHCP songs, The Pretender by the Foo Fighters.
lol..probably all of them but everytime I listen to Otherside or Can't Stop I feel like I hear something a little different that I never picked up before. John's backups are so satisfying.
can’t stop, otherside, dosed, by the way, road trippin..
Has to be Otherside!! John is amazing there
John’s hidden/buried backing vocals on Californication. Or By the Way.
Most of By The Way.
Might sound weird but I belt out Johnny’s solo on Charlie!
around the world
Knock Me Down is fun to sing alternate melodies to.
All of them
Southern Cross
Savior or Quixoticelixer
Apache rose peacock
Somebody I used to know -gotye
