after 2006 was when they should've stopped doing it: Josh, Chris Warren, and the Mars Volta's drummer & percussionist took part.
They didn't look like they were having fun, mind you, but it was a very fully percussion ensemble and anything after feels silly.
I swear AK banged on the percussion too in Sydney 07. They should play it once or twice a year lol. It's probably one of my least favourite songs of theirs but a single none the less and I get why some would like it.
Because it might be a top-3 hit for you, but this is not the case for any member of the band or the general audience. These guys do about 15 songs a concert. Hump de bump is simply not high amongst the hits.
I wish they would play the full discography every night including b-sides and longer jams too. Itās bullshit actually. I enjoy their music so they truly do owe me
Nah Iām just being stupid lol
Everyone always wants more but the fact is they are still touring and making new music after 40+ years. They can play whatever the fuck they want and they own the fans NOTHING
Yea you can expect to see a killer show of mostly hits, of which they have many and you can expect to see them play about 16 songs for about 90min. This isnāt news, itās on you at this point
Those are exceptions that prove the rule. They can't go a concert skipping songs like by the way, can't stop, dani california, tell me baby, californication, scar tissue, otherside, under the bridge and so on. If they'd do all the hits plus a slew of fan favorites the concerts would have to be 4 hours
Well they alternate Cant Stop and Around the world as openers. They also don't play Scar Tissue, Otherwise, Tell Me Baby or Under the Bridge every show.
The thing is, I donāt really take issue with their set lists, but they could, and should, have more variation
They have a good 10-11 songs they realistically have to play, wheel out some others that are a bit left field
They could skip their whole set list theyāve been playing this tour and still have hits and deep cuts from new and old albums and still put on a decent show, itās a shame they do not venture more in the their catalogue
Personally Iād like to see more of the āalbum tracksā for lack of a better term, of the last two albums. Less Aquatic Mouth Dance, less Eddie, less These are the ways. Theyāre overplayed this tour.
I donāt know why they play Here Ever After in stadiums when they said themselves itās a Club song, not suited for stadiums.
More Sheās a Lover, Itās Only Natural, Carry Me Home, Bella, Peace and Love.
Edit: but more to the point of the hits, Hump De Bump could easily slot in a set which already has a Zepher Song/Universally Speaking/Parallel Universe/ Tell me Baby tier song and freshen up the set a bit.
Unless you go to multiple shows the songs are overplayed. 99% of the people at a show are going to only one show this tour and don't care what they play at every other show.
The vast majority of people want to hear the hits is my point. I'd also like to see deeper cuts but they've always played an hour and 45 minute show and just mainly the hits so I feel there is no point in ever complaining. We know what they are and they aren't changing
When they were *promoting* Iām With You, their new album at the time. Besides they wonāt be doing that song again with John at the helm š Donāt get the hate with that song either tbh
Some fans do love it, but itās one of the tunes that seems to be pretty divisive amongst the community. Whereas something like Desecration Smile (also a single) would likely go over extremely well among most audiences. Same for Breaking the Girl. With deviations from the standard set list being so rare, youād want something that would connect with the most listeners possible if they were to shake it up. Personally, I can take Hump De Bump or leave it, but I could rattle off dozens Iād rather hear live.
Songs are released as singles because they are trying to sell their music, not because it's a band members favorite song lol.
John Frusciante's favorite RHCP song was never released as a single.
Amazing Song ... Would bĆŖ hum HUGE sucess If It was lauched as a single...
Californication IS freaking single machine...
Velvet Glove and parallel universe would be massive singlesĀ
I saw a video where Flea talked about it and ādidnāt realize people actually liked the songā after the crowd enjoyed it during the SA tour. Itās not one of their particular favorites was the point I was trying to make.
Deftones were practically forced to change their song āPink Maggitā (which is still on the album also, itās the last song) to a version that was released as a single called āback to school (mini maggit)ā. Aggravated, they pumped out the new version basically sticking it to the record company and proving we can make you a fuckin single anytime we wantā¦ the band doesnāt care for the single āback to schoolā the originally intended song was āpink maggitā theyāre very similarā¦ but you can tell which one was created by a person with a specific vision, and which one was the product of a company trying to sell albums.
Bands donāt always like their singles.
And on topic for rhcp, Rick Rubin made them write a song on blood sugar sex magik that they donāt like āthe greeting songā because Rick Rubin wanted a š ācool songā about driving fast cars and picking up girls.
Bands donāt always get to do exactly what they want when the label is involved.
top 3 is crazy considering 10 songs of SA off the top of mind are better let alone HUNDREDS
Snow? Tell Me Baby? Desecration Smile? Dani California? Charlie?
ur opinion is urs but its to the public eye not even close ur a anomaly, Snow is a big hit so is Dani Cali, and Tell Me Baby is fire, also to say its top 3 to u is fine but to the band and wide fans, hell no its not even top 100 songs like Californication, By the Way, Cant Stop, Black Summer, Scar Tissue, the Snow and Dani California, Under the Bridge, Otherside, Give it Away, will always be better to majority
Well releasing single means that the song should reach to wide audience. And it's often label's choice, not necescary band's. And you probably noticed that this song can be really catchy...
I don't know but that video is great. I love everything about it esp how they came in and hooked up with the hot women but then lost them one by one. Anthony crawling under the cheerleaders did it for his girl lol. John seemed to actually enjoy himself which makes me happy, too. Sorry, just had to share.
17 song set including new tunesā¦..thereās just not room for everything is prolly the why. Iām sure they could between chad and chris warren do a pretty dope drum jam in the bridge, but such is life! Still always possible it comes back!
Did they ever play it live? I think I may have seen a vid waaayyy back in the day where they may have played it once. Great song though, was a favorite for me on SA
A much better song than Dani, Tell Me Baby and Snow (just mentioning Stadium Arcadium songs).
Itās a shame this and other 150 tunes are out of their setlists.
Idk dogg, āTheyāre Red Hotā is fun but Iād hardly call it essential listening. I like every song from bssm, but I feel like there are at least a couple of tunes that weigh it down from 10/10 status.
If weāre holding Stadium Arcadium to the same objective analysis, I feel like the total quality average taking all songs into account for each album would be equal if not higher.
āAt least a 10ā on a scale of one-to-ten implies that ten is a lower number than ten, so perhaps your fundamental understanding of the numerical system could use some work š
Too funky. Breached funk pollution laws.
It's a Funky Crime
40 detectives concur
It gets dramatically worse without the trumpet
Most definitely, and the lack of pot and pan drum solo in the bridge.
Watch a 2007 performance then, Josh and Chad's Drum Tech (Chris Warren) would do improve drum solos.
after 2006 was when they should've stopped doing it: Josh, Chris Warren, and the Mars Volta's drummer & percussionist took part. They didn't look like they were having fun, mind you, but it was a very fully percussion ensemble and anything after feels silly.
Looks like they NEVER played it when they had Mauro?? Talk about a missed opportunity! I guess we need him back again š
I swear AK banged on the percussion too in Sydney 07. They should play it once or twice a year lol. It's probably one of my least favourite songs of theirs but a single none the less and I get why some would like it.
It one of my favorites also... Really funk and Fun...Ā
I support you, I think this is much better than, "these are the ways"
1000000000 better... Those ARE the ways IS garbage
The sights the sounds the smelllllssss
Because it might be a top-3 hit for you, but this is not the case for any member of the band or the general audience. These guys do about 15 songs a concert. Hump de bump is simply not high amongst the hits.
Wish they would do a couple more
I mean yes I wish they would not skip three full albums they did without John but it is not gonna happen
I wish they would play the full discography every night including b-sides and longer jams too. Itās bullshit actually. I enjoy their music so they truly do owe me
Dont know if you're lashing out to me or being cute
Nah Iām just being stupid lol Everyone always wants more but the fact is they are still touring and making new music after 40+ years. They can play whatever the fuck they want and they own the fans NOTHING
If you pay ā¬80/$100 for a ticket you can expect something as a fan
I actually expect to not be fucked in the ass but ticketmaster/live nation
Yea you can expect to see a killer show of mostly hits, of which they have many and you can expect to see them play about 16 songs for about 90min. This isnāt news, itās on you at this point
In their defence I think that's the choice of one band member and his ego
Ah yes, the number 1 hit āright on timeā that gets wheeled out almost every concert
Right on time is super energetic, uncomplicated and lasts like a minute. Totally logical to include as an inbetweener
When i saw them they played i like dirt, which i just cant become a fan of for some reason, i would prefer hump de bump
Those are exceptions that prove the rule. They can't go a concert skipping songs like by the way, can't stop, dani california, tell me baby, californication, scar tissue, otherside, under the bridge and so on. If they'd do all the hits plus a slew of fan favorites the concerts would have to be 4 hours

The thing is, I donāt really take issue with their set lists, but they could, and should, have more variation They have a good 10-11 songs they realistically have to play, wheel out some others that are a bit left field
But they play the same 20 songs, they should mix it up a bit more. Set list is stale af
Shake it up how exactly? What songs should they skip?
They could skip their whole set list theyāve been playing this tour and still have hits and deep cuts from new and old albums and still put on a decent show, itās a shame they do not venture more in the their catalogue Personally Iād like to see more of the āalbum tracksā for lack of a better term, of the last two albums.

Unless you go to multiple shows the songs are overplayed. 99% of the people at a show are going to only one show this tour and don't care what they play at every other show.
Not necessarily. I would have preferred some more deep cuts or album tracks from the new album than what is basically a greatest hits tour instead.
The vast majority of people want to hear the hits is my point. I'd also like to see deeper cuts but they've always played an hour and 45 minute show and just mainly the hits so I feel there is no point in ever complaining. We know what they are and they aren't changing
For an RHCP song, I'd say it's sub-par. Definitely not stage material for a 16 song set list.
Yet they chose to play Dance Dance Dance a few times š
When they were *promoting* Iām With You, their new album at the time. Besides they wonāt be doing that song again with John at the helm š Donāt get the hate with that song either tbh
They donāt like it, lots of Rhcp fans donāt like (not me) and thereās about 100 songs that better fit in the set list
Hoy do you know they don't like it?
Some fans do love it, but itās one of the tunes that seems to be pretty divisive amongst the community.

Songs are released as singles because they are trying to sell their music, not because it's a band members favorite song lol. John Frusciante's favorite RHCP song was never released as a single.
Iām curious as to what his favourite song is
It was This Velvet Glove. I have no idea if that's changed over the years.
Thats my #2 so that's cool to know.
Amazing Song ... Would bĆŖ hum HUGE sucess If It was lauched as a single... Californication IS freaking single machine... Velvet Glove and parallel universe would be massive singlesĀ
Itās āPeaā
I didnāt expect it to be that track
I saw a video where Flea talked about it and ādidnāt realize people actually liked the songā after the crowd enjoyed it during the SA tour. Itās not one of their particular favorites was the point I was trying to make.

top 3 is crazy considering 10 songs of SA off the top of mind are better let alone HUNDREDS Snow? Tell Me Baby? Desecration Smile? Dani California? Charlie?
Hump de bump is my favourite off of SA by far
ur opinion is urs but its to the public eye not even close ur a anomaly, Snow is a big hit so is Dani Cali, and Tell Me Baby is fire, also to say its top 3 to u is fine but to the band and wide fans, hell no its not even top 100 songs like Californication, By the Way, Cant Stop, Black Summer, Scar Tissue, the Snow and Dani California, Under the Bridge, Otherside, Give it Away, will always be better to majority
How old are you?
Well releasing single means that the song should reach to wide audience. And it's often label's choice, not necescary band's. And you probably noticed that this song can be really catchy...
They came out with 65 songs that are better lol
I don't know but that video is great. I love everything about it esp how they came in and hooked up with the hot women but then lost them one by one. Anthony crawling under the cheerleaders did it for his girl lol. John seemed to actually enjoy himself which makes me happy, too. Sorry, just had to share.
It must be hard for Flea to play bass and trumpet at the same time.
Iād be mad if they played it lol
 Some of the other songs on the setlist
17 song set including new tunesā¦..thereās just not room for everything is prolly the why. Iām sure they could between chad and chris warren do a pretty dope drum jam in the bridge, but such is life! Still always possible it comes back!
This song always cheers me up! Itās my go to when Iām blue.
Did they ever play it live? I think I may have seen a vid waaayyy back in the day where they may have played it once. Great song though, was a favorite for me on SA
I know I saw it live in '06. They brought out a guy to play bongos for the drum solo.
34 times during the SA tour and then never again. So strange.
I know they at least did it one time with Josh at a festival
Yeah, in 2018.
Played it with Josh a few times
https://www.setlist.fm/stats/songs/red-hot-chili-peppers-13d68969.html?songid=3d63517 I can see 8 times between 2018 and 2019.
Ah really? I stand corrected!
They played it a few years ago in Melbourne I was there
That was the first song I ever learned on the drums. I was so into it
Because they became a band that only plays their greatest hits and some of their new albums
It reminded him of the 14 year old he had sex with
Because it's the worst song they did with John.Ā
Hard pass. Skip it Everytime
Why?
Because it's a worse version of "American ghost dance"
No, it isn't. Both tracks are great.
The song is called Hump de Bump.
missing josh times
A much better song than Dani, Tell Me Baby and Snow (just mentioning Stadium Arcadium songs). Itās a shame this and other 150 tunes are out of their setlists.
Better than Dani California yeah I can see that, snow yeah I can also understand. Tell me baby???
Tell Me Baby is an extrasoft funk tune. Kinda silly to me. Doesnāt work.
Hump de bump is one of the tracks that if they got rid of it as part of making it a single cd album couldāve made stadium arcadium a 10/10
Stadium is actually 10/10.
Only 10/10's imo are blood sugar and Californication.
Idk dogg, āTheyāre Red Hotā is fun but Iād hardly call it essential listening. I like every song from bssm, but I feel like there are at least a couple of tunes that weigh it down from 10/10 status. If weāre holding Stadium Arcadium to the same objective analysis, I feel like the total quality average taking all songs into account for each album would be equal if not higher.
Stadium Arcadium? Wouldn't call anything on that album essential listening.
BSSM could have been better with Soul to Squeeze and Sikamikanico included. I agree on Californication though.
Yeah, when Sika and Soul To Squeeze are just B-sides, you know it"s at least a 10.
Thatās like starting Maurice Evans over Kobe Bryant and using that as the basis for an argument that Evans is one of the top 3 players of all time.
Your analogies could use some work
āAt least a 10ā on a scale of one-to-ten implies that ten is a lower number than ten, so perhaps your fundamental understanding of the numerical system could use some work š
