WARNER MUSIC VISION 6O MINS

Holed up in a mansion to record ’91’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik, the funk-rockers playing at homoerotic Monkees is, perhaps, the funniest hour in rock video. LISTEN as Mr Kiedis persuades a photographer to show him her “boobs”! INHALE the testosterone as the lads discuss a strip show! With hindsight, there’s pathos too, as John Frusciante loads his guitars into his pick-up, unaware he was driving off to a heroin habit that would keep him house-bound until all his teeth fell out. ****
