Live Rare Remix Box - Red Hot Chili Peppers

.../>
CD1 the LIVE CD is Give it Away, Suck My Kiss, I Could Have Lied and Nobody Weird Like Me all taken from a gigs. They are good as live tracks go and also have their trademark improvised fills. Good Vibes.

CD2 the RARE CD has 4 non-album tracks. They are Soul to Squeeze, Fela's C**k, Sikamikanico and Search & Destroy. The first, Soul to Squeeze is featured on the (Pretty poor in my opinion) film Coneheads. The tune itself ...
...Fela's C**k is a up beat instrumental that will have your head nodding to the grooves. Sikamikanico rocks! Its taken from Waynes World (When they're driving along in the Mirth Mobile) and it just blows your mind. Last but not least Search and Destroy. Its a good track and is a cover but I'm not quite sure whom (I think its Iggy Pop).

CD3 the REMIX CD has got 2 different versions of Give it Away and 3 different versions of If you have ... more

I thought I'd take the time out to express my views on this little baby since no one else has!

I suppose the best way to start this is to clarify that this is more of a collectors item than anything else. It has a total of 13 tracks shared out onto 3 CDs. The only problem is the price. Its normally priced between about £20 (if your lucky) and £30, of course I paid the latter. It is however an interesting listen.

The first, Soul to Squeeze is featured on the (Pretty poor in my opinion) film Coneheads. The tune itself is really beautiful little number. It makes you think.

CD3 the REMIX CD has got 2 different versions of Give it Away and 3 different versions of If you have to Ask. They're not bad but its just a bit weird hearing someone sticking dance beats over the Chili's songs.

To sum things up most of the songs are taken from Blood Sugar... and are actually featured as B-Sides on the singles they released from Blood Sugar..(Give it Away, Under the Bridge etc.) so unless you're a diehard fan it would be up to you if you want to shell out the money for this. Basically its not good value for money.
