He used to play mostly slap riffs and steal the show with just mindboggling playing but has now essentially converted to being a rhythm guitar player who just happens to play bass but throws millions of amazing fills into every song. Flea, as a musician, has pulled off a total three sixty and totally changed his playing style as of late and it is shown quite well on this DVD.
It really drives the message of the song home that you should take an example from him and never use drugs because you will get f**ked up like he was and be all scarred and permanently screwed up. John Frusciante shows why he is arguably one of the most skilled guitar players of all time with his multitudes of great riffs and amazing improvisational skill when it comes to soloing (Just listen to Scar Tissue and you will be swayed to believe that the man is truly a god.) I particularly like how he plays Under The Bridge shirtless exposing his arms which are scarred from years of shooting heroin. A real treat with this show is how essentially all the songs form this massive hour and a half jam with multiple songs getting cool new intros (take for example the amazing guitar solo intro to By The Way which I wish they had included on the album) and you will agree that the Chilis are absolutely fantastic live. Even with a setlist of songs mostly from their last two albums, some of which I never particularly liked are played so well that any viewer is easily swayed into just loving the performance. With Live at Slane Castle, the always excellent chili peppers show you why they are argueably the best band still around today making new music. You'll find yourself watching it multiple times. The guitars, bass, and drums all sound crystal clear and nothing over powers Anthony's incredible vocals. This is probably the best sounding live concert I've ever purchased, and I have several. Not only is the performance perfect, so is the production. Some people don't realize how much Frusciante adds to the band but they will after seeing this DVD. John Frusciante delivers a blistering performance, changing up riffs, adding guitar sections, and adding more funk to the show. I would go as far as to say that the live performance are better than the album version of the songs in several cases.
The Peppers deliver a mind blowing performance. So The Red Hot Chili Peppers are in good company here. Artists such as U2, R.E.M., Oasis, Neil Young, David Bowie, Queen, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones and Madonna have performed live. Slane is renowned worldwide for the annual Rock Concerts held in the natural amphitheater in front of the Castle. Lets start with the location: Slane Castle, Ireland.
