Before VH-1 started making documentaries of the making of “classic albums” (such as Jimi’s “Electric Ladyland”, Fleetwoods “Rumours”, U2’s “The Unforgettable Fire”, etc.), this independent production in living sunless & white was shot of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as they became “Funky Monks” with producer extraordinaire Rick Rubin and retreated to a virtual monastery of an empty house in the hills above L.A. to portray their greatest musical achievement ever, 1991’s “Blood Sugar Sex Magik”.

The video/DVD shows the painstaking detail with which the breakthrough album was recorded (of particular interest is the recording of the percussive effects heard in “Breaking The Girl”) and in between recording time we examine candid glimpses of the Peppers being…well, Peppers, being dads, talking about the band philosophy and what makes them who and what they are (and skimming through the personal ads in various sex mags) .

And of course each Pepper’s awesome musicianship is save on present (particularly John Frusciante, who I state must be the second coming of Jimi Hendrix with his pre-addiction guitar technique, showcased in all of its glory here…the entire album was a breathtaking performance for a guitarist barely 20 years outmoded at the time) as the recording sessions are filmed.

The songs appear only in snippets and in various different stages of production; you won’t witness any full-length performances (although a top-notch bonus extra would have been the video for “Give It Away”, especially since -incredibly- that video somehow was not included on the “What Hits? ” DVD that was recently re-issued; more’s the pity it isn’t found here, either) . You’ll notice songs that weren’t included with “Blood Sugar…” that were later released (”Soul To Squeeze” being the the most recognizable) in addition to those that found their plot onto the final version of the album.

But the personality of L.A. is every bit as grand the star of this film as is the personalities of the Chili Peppers themselves. The feel of the town is everywhere, from the describe offices where the executives account for the conception slack the recording taking plot in the fashion it did to the locations where Anthony is interviewed regarding the lyrics of “Under The Bridge” to the wrap party that is held at the house once the recording has been completed…the soul of Los Angeles (such as it is) and the symbiotic association it has with the band are factors that position this filmed “making of” documentary a step above all the others; there is remarkable more than four guys in a studio and a producer in a booth…it is an encapsulation of a city and its most identifiable band, frozen in time forever.

In summation, don’t stare this expecting a collection of videos or a live performance; leer it with an interest in a wonderful band and the creation of their finest work and feel the city breathing through them as it happens.
This DVD is about the record of a LA rock band recording their best album ever (they didnt know it) in a mansion in Laurel Canyon with producer Rick Rubin.
This is mainly a DVD for hardcore fans, or any musician who likes to glimpse what its like to report an album with rick rubin in a broad mansion! its wonderful. its a very relaxed vibe. its a non-narrator documentary of the recording of BSSM. There are short interviews with each member and short clips of them recording songs and parts (obliging) . Anthony explains Under The Bridge, Flea talks about his bass playing, john talks about vibrations in the 4th dimention, Chad likes his motorbike.
This is 60 mins (too short in my concept) and in dismal and white. dont let the color intimidate you, it goes perfect with vibe. the sound quality is reliable. This doesnt absorb any of their music videos, or live on stage performances. i made an audio cassette tape of this and establish it in my car so i could listen to it elsewhere, i liked it that noteworthy.
if you like the chili peppers and like the studio, this is a MUST. if BloodSugarSexMagik is your current album… they you NEED THIS.
thank you have a nice day
