Rick has been trolling for years that he doesn't know how to play instruments and operate musical equipment. lol

We played Under the Bridge at my religious boarding school talent show, loving it, and Tee-hee-ing cuz we snuck a Chili Peppers song into the show and nobody knew it except us. Even the religious people said “Amen” when we were done! 🤣🤣🤣

I really love the part of this conversation about GoGo all be at very brief. Gogo is still the heartbeat of DC to this day. I've played and go go bands for about 20 years and it is disheartening to know that the genre never really went mainstream despite its influence on main Street music.

I guess I never got SOAD, I hated it the first moment I heard it, and still cannot tolerate it. Rick seemed to indicate that RHCP and SOAD are similarly quirky and I don't think they are remotely comparable. SOAD was a momentary fad because it was bizzaro and unmusical (which of course because of its poor quality would never last) and RHCP was never that way. Even though RHCP presented different styles, and wasn't repetitive, it was never poor quality.

Merci Rick B pour cette interview captivante!
Très heureuse d’avoir découvert Rick Rubin, qui était resté pour moi un nom magique et mystérieux, imprimé à côté du logo Def Jam sur tant de mes disques préférés (since my teenage years!)
Great interview. Rick Rubin is such an interesting guy!!!
@mattmajewski8140The amount of great songs that Rick has a part in is crazy. So many great artists have worked with him you really don't realize until they are put in order from the beginning I was in 7th or 8th grade when the Beastie boys album came out and it goes on from there
@Russellsgenrx"I'm comfortable asking questions." - Rick Rubin.
@altair769Wow! Rick Rubin is such a reasonably mellow cool guy. Just wow! I am not sure what I had imagined but this blows any expectations I had about him out of the water. How should I explain? - He seems so at peace with human beings - accepting them as they are without struggling against their God-given agency, and thus works well with them irrespective of how they live or where they are at in life. Very profound and easy to miss about him (Rick Rubin) and us (humanity).
@altair769Still the best of Rick's conversations. ❤
@DALHOPPI love the dmc/ Aerosmith song

@georgwalt7978he's a damn wizard.
@NateChildersHe's not in the music business. He's a philosopher. Looks it, speaks it, acts it, is it.
@jameshaydel8262I would love to hang out with Rick Rubin. What a chill insightful dude.
@BootlegsAndBritpop1:05:00 - Using the things you have and making the best of what those things are instead of trying to do the thing you wish they were is the best way to go.
@ChristianDG21My favorite Band Rubin helped make the best of there music was Palo Alto!! 2 fantastic records that I still rank as favorites in last 25 years!
