This is a song by Red Hot Chili Peppers that sings of the bittersweet feelings at the end of summer.

Speaking of summer, you can’t leave this band out—after all, they’re often half-naked.

Crank up the Chili Peppers in the summer and blast away both the heat and the gloom! That might just be the proper way to spend the season.

This song is awesome, too.

Their funky, hot sound is exactly what they do best.

I love this band.

EddieRed Hot Chili Peppers17rank/position

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Eddie (Official Audio)

Seeing the title “Eddie,” anyone well-versed in Western music might have felt a jolt of recognition.

It’s a track included on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 13th studio album, “Return of the Dream Canteen,” released in October 2022—a song dedicated to the legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen, who passed away in 2020.

There’s a touching anecdote that the day after Eddie’s death, Flea, the Chili Peppers’ bassist, brought a bass line to rehearsal, and the song came together almost immediately after the band played together.

It’s a masterpiece whose wistful, melodic chorus and emotional guitar solo stir the heart, and notably, the word “Eddie” never actually appears in the lyrics.

It’s not an overt farewell song, but rather a sorrowful yet powerful tribute honoring a great life—quintessentially Chili Peppers.

A song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers—known in Japan by the abbreviation “Recchiri”—whose total sales exceed 80 million worldwide.

Featured on their fourth album, Mother’s Milk, it’s a track that raises the energy with a quintessentially RHCP funky ensemble.

From the thrilling guitar riffs to the loose yet technically adept guitar solo that makes heavy use of tapping, it’s a number where not only the playing difficulty but also the sense of groove is crucial.

Especially when playing as a band, the parts tend to fall out of sync, so be sure to practice with a strong sense of timing as well as fingerings.
