My favourite Chili pepper song along with Don't Forget Me. River was with them in the house where they recorded "Blood Sugar Sex Magic" most of the time. I especially love the guitar tune of the "Like no other, I love you, you're my brother" part. Don't know why those lyrics aren't included? And yes, Grungehead217, some people actually label "One Hot Minute" as a Funk-Metal album.
