From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nobody Weird Like Me is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1989 album, Mother's Milk. It is the fifth track on the album. In the song, lead singer Anthony Kiedis sings about being weird, expressing a sympathetic take on himself.
In the liner notes to the 2003 remastered version of Mother's Milk, Flea states that, during the first jam with new guitarist John Frusciante, he possibly created the bass line to this track.
The song incorporates manic slap bass, with slapping on the open D-string and popping on the G-string. The song has been played at every few shows on the Stadium Arcadium world tour. The song contains a bass solo which may have been recorded as two separate tracks, as it does not sound like something Flea would normally play. Flea has never played this solo live.
According to drummer Chad Smith's instructional video, the popular belief that he uses double bass is a myth. Instead, he employs a technique involving subtle 'in between hits' on the snare drum. When combined with the interaction of Flea's slap bass these ghost notes create the psychoacoustic illusion of double bass drum.[citation needed]
It is one of the few Mothers Milk songs to be played during the Stadium Arcadium World Tour.
