If there’s such a thing as an ultimate Red Hot Chili Peppers video, it probably includes the following four things: (1) fire, (2) bare-chested raging out, (3) skimpily dressed hot girls, (4) hard-earned weatherbeaten musing on the fleeting nature of life. It’s not exactly easy to find room for all four of those things in one four-minute visual stretch, but with their new “Brendan’s Death Song” video, the Chili Peppers have found a context that’ll support all that stuff: A New Orleans jazz funeral! The song is a power-ballad dedicated to old-school L.A. punk scenester and early Chili Peppers booster Brendan Mullen, who died in 2009, and director Marc Klasfeld films the band peacocking mournfully. Watch it at Rolling Stone.

Huh? How is that not easy? One minute of each. Done.
That’s some airtight logic…P.S. Socrates reminds me more of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure than logic.
You forgot (5) slap bass.
i just feel bad for their new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.
Oh ya it must be horrible touring the world and actually doing something with his life.
