 The cocks may no longer be in socks but the Peppers remain hyperactive kings of white-boy funk, smack survivors turned mainstream mavericks. Their blend of infantile exuberance and brooding disdain shines in these videos. There's a Busby Berkeley routine for sleazeballs ("Aeroplane"), the definitive punk-junk ballad ("Under The Bridge") and the blood-drenched "Scar Tissue".

Mostly, it’s tossed at gurning axe-teasers like John Squire or The Darkness, men engaged in a seduction with their instrument so unabashedly carnal you feel a little filthy just watching them. But the fact remains, if there was any musician on earth that more personified the instrument-as-masturbation metaphor, it’s surely Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea. When Flea plays slap-bass, it’s the full Onan The Barbarian: a manhandling, a totally shameless musical celebration of the cock....full text |
