Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Charley Rhythm Player	#1 by Charley Hockin at Oct 11, 1976 at 7:41 AM EST
	Well AK says that he wrote it but that it was a reflection of Hillel. But it is also very connected to Jack Irons because he was into that. I love it

No Picture the white hendr Badass	#2 by the white hendrix at Dec 27, 1980 at 10:35 AM EST
	I cant figure this out, on one hand I always thought it was about being in tune with nature and animals/earth, but on the other hand this line makes me think: Now while I showered in the rain I watch my dolphin swim away Maybe a reference to drugs as in the sun is sobre and the rain is drugs so the dolphin swims away, being his senses are drowned/numbed whilst on drugs (possibly) or maybe vice versa. Still a great song

No Picture Will Average	#3 by Will Yost at May 10, 1983 at 4:55 AM EST
	i think this song may symbolise ants vegetarianism cause in the video you can see little cartoon men killing whales for no purpose and things like that. i think its all about the beauty of nature and how we take it for granted and things like that

No Picture Jesus Average	#4 by Jesus Christ at Oct 21, 1983 at 7:39 AM EST
	if anyone dosent know jack irons (the drummer back then) has lots of whales and dolphin tattoos and they mean allot to him through peace and all that stuff. he also wanted hillel to stop drugs. i think that jack wanted this song go to hillels head and be clean. sadly that didnt happen and rhcp got it a hit because of that. god bless this beautiful band

No Picture dylan Average	#5 by dylan pesino at Sep 2, 1984 at 1:03 PM EST
	why are you telling us that ak was off drugs for a while i go through these walls may be something to do with it or am i talking crap again im going crazy john is so beautiful

No Picture Joe Average	#6 by Joe Blurton at Jan 10, 1987 at 12:33 PM EST
	Cmon guys, this song is about heroin. Everyone knows that "the sun" is the big H, and those with a habit can only think and/or sing about one thing

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#7 by Matt Spencer at Feb 12, 1988 at 5:00 AM EST
	Anthony was on drugs when Hillel died. He had previously become clean, about 4 months before that, but he had gone back.

No Picture eric Rhythm Player	#8 by eric johnson at Mar 13, 1997 at 6:29 PM EST
	i forgot that their producer wrote this song but jack and hillel were the peole who founded this song i found out

No Picture aleXeXeX Rhythm Player	#9 by aleXeXeX at Feb 3, 2002 at 11:02 AM EST
	I agree with lahdeefrigginda. Also it wasn't entirely writen by the Chilis, if I remember correctly the Chilies only co-wrote it. It was their producer Michael Bienhorne who wrote most of it i think.
