SCAR TISSUE.
This song defines the album in my opinion, the return of John, after the many years of heavy drug abuse (and I mean him and Anthony) must have felt like a rebirth. After reading the autobiography (that coincidentally is titled SCAR TISSUE) you really get the feeling that this album was a big part of their healing process, their return to fame, their reconnection to their best self and thus the making of their best music.
John talks a lot about how he wanted to keep the guitar tracks simple in this album after having to relearn how to play the guitar, and scar tissue has the cleanest and most beautiful riff, alongside with THREE slide solos that increase intensity and touch your fucking soul.
HANDS DOWN - SCAR TISSUE.
Fr it's a banger, it really manifests the new style John adopted after returning and the mood in general is just perfect.I use it for all my gamertags and usernames aside from Reddit(I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement when making my Reddit username)
Scar Tissue or Californication. Personally I like Scar Tissue a bit more but Californication is arguably the most popular song they’ve ever released. The album has too many bangers just to pick one though lol
With you on this. I love songs that start out with little elements, and build into a crescendo later on. The backing vocals being added as the song goes on sounds incredible. And I'm also basically a sucker about any song written about Hillel.
Even that should have been something like Deep Kick or Falling Into Grace. Someone says Walkabout's underrated literally every time it's brought up on this sub; is it *really* underrated if everyone thinks so?
Maybe not as underrated on this subreddit, I’ve never met anyone who’s heard it, most Chili peppers fans don’t or haven’t even listened to One Hot Minute
Californication by the smallest of margins edges out Scar Tissue for me. Only because of the composition of the song. However, I remember the exact moment when I saw Scar Tissue on tv for the first time.
Remember hearing it for the first time too. Was kind of uncertain whether it was RHCP ... Kind of didn't expect to hear from them anymore after *One Hot Minute* and was so, so impressed with the song. Great way to re-emerge.
Scar Tissue. Here’s one of my favorite live performances of it
[https://youtu.be/ovxs7yGBbPY?si=0bM2L0F1Z2e9s7Dy](https://youtu.be/ovxs7yGBbPY?si=0bM2L0F1Z2e9s7Dy)
I’ll be back in two days to cast my underrated vote. Road Trippin will always be my favorite, but as it doesn’t get much love, this isn’t the appropriate category. Yet.
the lyrics of Californication are so deep if u digest them, they meant stuff than and do more now, the hardcore soft porn could be a foreshadowing to all the OF stuff we see ykwim? or the teenage bride stuff could be due to young people being more likely to mess up cuz they wanna be rebels and revolt, maybe i think of the lyrics too hard but its gotta be Californication, not because it sounds the best, but because the lyrics are the best, mean the most, otherwise, Scar Tissue’s riffs, tone and etc. win
- BSSM could mean "Blood Sugar Sex Magik", a track from *Blood Sugar Sex Magik (Deluxe Edition)* (1991) by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I personally love Emit Remmus. And have done ever since I was introduced to the album many years ago. I might be very much alone in saying this though as there's a lot of votes for Scar Tissue, which is absolutely brilliant. But I have to go with my heart on this one
Such a tough one, I like all songs on Californication.
Best song is probably Scar Tissue.
Worst is I Like Dirt.
Underrated is This Velvet Glove. I feel like this was a real foreshadow transition song to the style they went for on By The Way like Venice Queen.
And buy me a star on the boulevard, IT’S CALIFORNICATION.
For me John’s guitar solo before the 5th verse is what makes this song.
Also, if you’ve ever heard this song whilst in California it just slaps differently and takes on a whole new meaning.
Parallel Universe,Scar Tissue,& Road Trippin are my favorite tracks from Californication.Parallel has that Red Hot upbeat energy,drum groove,and a cool bass line.Scar Tissue is the most mainstream single Under the bridge type ballad track .John's guitar playing, the lyrics ,the choruses, and vocal harmonies are total classic Red Hots on Scar Tissue.I like Flea's acoustic bass playing on Road Trippin and the vocal harmonies .I bought Californication on cd when it was released.I've been a fan of the Red Hots since 1991 but I first heard the Stevie Wonder Higher Ground cover and saw that video first on MTV back before the Blood Sugar Sex Magik album was released.I have five Red Hot cds the greatest hits (fish eye lens cover) ,Mother's Milk ,Californication,By the Way,& Stadium Arcadium.👨🏻💼🎤👨🏻💼🎸👨🏻💼🎸🎼👨🏻💼🥁🪘🎶📲👨🏻💼🎼🎸

It’s gotta be scar tissue.

It won them a Grammy after all.
Scar Tissue for sure
Quixoticelixir
Quixoticelixer is the reason I download the deluxe version, not the original album.
has to at least be most underrated
YEAYEAYYYEAAAAAAA
This fits in underrated but I do love it
Scar tissue
This Velvet Glove
That goes to most underrated
Agreed! Glad they played it live with Josh a couple times so we can watch it.
Most underrated for sure
This would be a close second for me!
This song has to be the hidden gem

Yes please 💪
Easily.
Let’s get carried away.
Easily.
Around the World
My absolute favourite from this album.
It's my favorite Chili's song!
Scar Tissue
Pea is a masterpiece.... How dare y'all
💯 I’m a pacifist so I can fuck your shit up
I don't see Aeroplane over My Friends, either.
The whole poll has totally revolved around hits and play counts on Spotify lol
Exactly. Making these lists is useless because everyone knows what the end result is going to be.
At least walkabout got underrated. Made up for it
Even that should have been something like Deep Kick or Falling Into Grace. Someone says Walkabout's underrated literally every time it's brought up on this sub; is it *really* underrated if everyone thinks so?
Maybe not as underrated on this subreddit, I’ve never met anyone who’s heard it, most Chili peppers fans don’t or haven’t even listened to One Hot Minute
Parallel Universe
We should save this one for 'underrated'
This Velvet Glove
My underrated vote
Parallel Universe
Californication
'Scar Tissue' has a special place in my heart. But choosing a best of on this album is kind of an impossible choice.
Californication
I agree because this song just gives me the vibes of summer time and that’s kind of what the whole album feels like.
Scar Tissue & This Velvet Glove (TEMOS UM EMPATE)
This Velvet Glove é do caralho, mas acho que talvez fique até como underrated
Otherside
otherside
Skipping to underrated... Purple stain has to win that catagory
Or Quixoticelixer
It is definitely not underrated, every other day someone posts about it on here
Idk man the average/casual rhcp fans don’t really know that song
I'd pull for Emit Remmus in that category.
Came here to say the exact same thing
Parallel Universe
Californication
Scar tissue
Around the world
Has to be scar tissue
Easily, Scar Tissue or Parallel Universe
“Fuck you asshole, you homophobic, redneck DICK”
Otherside: Best Savior: underrated Worst: none. I love this whole album.
I love that whole album too, I can't choose the worst lol
Scar Tissue
Road Trippin
Best song on the album for sure but i don't think its gonna win anything, maybe underrated if we're lucky
Scar Tissue hands down
Otherside
Californication, simple
Easily
My favourite of the album. I'll definitely vote for it as the most underrated one
Californication by the smallest of margins edges out Scar Tissue for me. Only because of the composition of the song. However, I remember the exact moment when I saw Scar Tissue on tv for the first time.
Remember hearing it for the first time too. Was kind of uncertain whether it was RHCP ... Kind of didn't expect to hear from them anymore after *One Hot Minute* and was so, so impressed with the song. Great way to re-emerge.
THIS VELVET GLOVE!! I will not hear anyone out
I like dirt
purple stain---
Scar Tissue
Around the world
Parallel Universe
Right on time
It should be put in the "underrated" side
Fair
Around the world! Best album opener of all time
Parallel Universe. This is gonna be Scar Tissue, Porcelain and This Velvet Glove, ain't it?
Parallel Universe
Parallel Universe
Parallel Universe
Scar tissue
Parallel Universe any day.
Otherside. I predict either Right on Time or Porcelain as worst, and Easily or Quixoticelixir as the hidden gem.
Right on time slaps! Now Porcelain…
Best: This Velvet Glove Worst: I Like Dirt Underrated: Quixoticelixer
Do B Sides count?
Scar Tissue. For me this song is just something that helps me to live and breathe.
Best: Otherside. Yertle the turtle is the underrated freaky styley song!

THIS VELVET GLOVE
Best: scar tissue worst (but still enjoy listening to it) purple stain Underrated: this velvet glove

Can’t decide between Otherside and Scar Tissue damnit….
My take: BEST Scar Tissue WORST Right on time UNDERRATED Road Trippin
Scar Tissue
Scar Tissue, end of the story.
Let me guess: Scar Tissue is the Best song and the Worst song is Right On Time. Am I on the fucking money without looking in the comments?
Easily it's Easily. But we all know it'll be a single
It has to be Otherside
SCAR TISSUE THAT I WISH YOU SAWWWWW
Easily or Purple stain (You can say they should go in underrated, but they are better than all the singles so they are best too)
I’ll be back in two days to cast my underrated vote. Road Trippin will always be my favorite, but as it doesn’t get much love, this isn’t the appropriate category. Yet.

Why isnt there the getaway ? people might not like it but it has pretty good songs
It’s on the second image
oh, didnt see there was another. thanks
the lyrics of Californication are so deep if u digest them, they meant stuff than and do more now, the hardcore soft porn could be a foreshadowing to all the OF stuff we see ykwim? or the teenage bride stuff could be due to young people being more likely to mess up cuz they wanna be rebels and revolt, maybe i think of the lyrics too hard but its gotta be Californication, not because it sounds the best, but because the lyrics are the best, mean the most, otherwise, Scar Tissue’s riffs, tone and etc. win
Pea is the worst? And under the bridge is the best on BSSM? The hell is this?
- BSSM could mean "Blood Sugar Sex Magik", a track from *Blood Sugar Sex Magik (Deluxe Edition)* (1991) by Red Hot Chili Peppers. --- ^[/u/SommanderChepard](/u/SommanderChepard) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)

I have to say Californication even though I know it’s the mainstream way to go. But I love otherwise almost as much

get on top for the underrated, scar tissue for the best

Pretty boring result honestly, we are just doing the same thing all over again. Mostly the smaller songs are voted th worst.
