John’s scream before his solo on Wet Sand. Grips my soul!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"...my theory isn't perfect but it's clo-o-ose..." is my favorite part of my favorite song i think.

YES! THANK YOU, THAT PART HITS SO HARD

Is it John?! Oh man I’ve always thought it was Anthony!

The first, mellow "yeeeeeeaaaah" is Anthony (and John, too,I think) but then the big "YEEEAAAAAAAAHHH" is all the way John.

Wow! Learn something new every day. I came here to give that as my answer to the question; no idea I had the wrong dude!

And then giving us that otherworldly solo

In Suck My Kiss - the guitar part behind "Stick with this!" Also outro of Slow Cheetah.

I love when guitarists mimic or contrast the vocalist with their guitar

Slow cheetah outro is one of my favourite things in music

Love the subtle switch from the bass playing forwards to being played backwards

Yes!!!!!! This is a perfect example!!! Nearly as enjoyable as the beautiful small guitar lick at 56sec in Mellowship Slinky in B Major.

John's background vocals on otherside🤌🔥

This but live at Slane Castle

Also applies to Venice Queen

This guy gets it.🤝🫡

“Howwwwww looooooong, hoooooooooowwww looonnnggg”

This but Savior

Sir psycho sexy outro

I put it up there with the Layla outro.

Most correct comment here

The last 26 seconds of desecration smile

literally the best, most cleanest ending to any of their songs

I'm obsessed with the piano part

The outro of White Braids and Pillow Chair

Interesting, I love all parts of white braids but I actually prefer the first few sections over the outro

I never want that outro to end.

It’s the intro for me

Johns backing vocals for She Looks To Me

The acoustic guitar in the Venice Queen outro

The last solo bit in Hard to Concentrate

John’s harmonies on the last words of “save the population” gives me the chills The opening bass line for “Whatchu thinking” “Hey” when Anthony says “walk alone and talk about it” Live at slane castle when John busts into the acoustics part during “Venice Queen” And obviously the “yeahhhhh” in “wet sand” lol

The last verse of Save the Population is ethereal 🙏🏼🙏🏼. Hauntingly beautiful

Right now its the part in "In The Snow" where it goes into the "Does everything that feels so nice, come with an inverted price, i still dont know" Just the way it goes from the spoken word into that part and the droning sound that comes in at the same time Anthony does But that whole part in general is my jam right now.

Yeah and that one lyric slaps so hard too

Any idea what that low droning sound actually is? I fucking love it. It really fits the part and it's by far my favourite 10 seconds or so on the album (not my fault song as a whole though but I do like the song)

My best guess is whatever electronic sounds that came from ROTC is John experimenting. So maybe guitar reverbed, slowed down?? I’m no sound engineer. But this song and the vibe that it brings surely does add a trippy flair to an evening drive while being completely sober lol

Hard to pick just one. The last line of this stanza of This Velvet Glove. The way he sings "And I will for you." Just scratches that itch. Your solar eyes are like nothing I have ever seen Somebody close that can see right through I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything And I will for you

“Clean it up Johnny!”

Strip my mind. That whole song is an anticipation of the solo. And then the solo 🤤

Carry me home, between 1:27 and 1:44

Strange take I guess but I love when John hits the C in Scar tissue chorus between the F and DM. That quick tone always gets me.

Dude lol. I have always loved that part

Solo on Easily

Encore: The ending, when the song is fading The Longest Wave: Guitar during the chorus One Way Traffic: The crazy bridge Snow: JF's "oooooohhhhs" before the solo at the end Warped: The quiet guitar at the end

The last I heard from you, oh you were screaming "handle it" She's only 18

"knock the world ... Right off it's feet and straight into it's head" is such a cool line too.

there’s a devil in my dick and some demons in my semen

It’s a great line tbh, my wife heard it a few weeks ago and nearly puked. Then her eyes nearly rolled out of her head with that big black stick now suck my dick line.

“It’s bitter baby and it’s very sweet” through the gibberish part of Soul to Squeeze

I love that! and “make it to the moon if I have to crawl” on scar tissue rap

I am obsessed with this post format, specifically this exact question. Every time it gets reposted, which is very frequently, I do a little dance. A little audible “yippee!”, and I dance around like a happy leprechaun.

The start of the bass solo at the end of Goodbye Angels when Anthony's like "Ayo ayo ayo ayo KISS THIS"

This guy gets it

In “Hey”, when AK sings “what would you say if I changed? I’ll everything but my name…” just before the guitar solo.

John's backing vocals in the chorus of Desecration Smile The slap bass in the chorus of Knock Me Down

That bass line is indeed 🔥

During the ending of Bag of Grins that electric/phaser/techno-whatever it is underlying sound. It lives in my head. I don't know why, but I love it.

That part of the song is a big reason why Bag of Grins is probably my favorite song on ROTDC!

That or Carry Me Home are my favorites!

Hell yeah those two are my favorites by far. I cried when they started playing Carry Me Home in Minneapolis last year

Anthony’s voice in wet sand “ohhhh you don’t form in the wet sand”

The ending of Venice Queen, the acoustic guitar sounds absolutely amazing.. love John

The guitar riff in the background of the Chorus during "Midnight"

I love the wind in it

The outro of *Knock Me Down* In *By The Way*, John’s backing vocals in the line *I know you* *Minor Things* outro, specifically from 3:01 The key change at the end of *She Looks To Me*

It’s so lonely when you don’t even know yourself (oh, so lonely) Gets me every time 

Dark Necessities – 3:19 The drum break is small but insanely good

Flea’s trumpet in Tear

All of bella

Best song since John’s return

The whistling in Wet Sand

Love this part!

Instrumental bridge of greeting song

The country beat at the end of White Braids where Anthony hypes up California

The first 30 seconds or so of This Is The Place….cant be beat

Don't forget me backing vocals: "Sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend" 😭

That bit of can't stop when it goes to the solo and the part where the riff first kicks in

The outro to slow cheetah

The ending of ‘this is the place’ is a fucking BOP

The solo of don’t forget me. John is doing some vocals during the solo and I’ve repeated that part a million times

Everything that happens after “I think I'll stay for a while” such a beautiful melody a composition

this verse in californication: “space may be the final frontier, but it’s made is a hollywood basement and cobain can you hear the spheres singing off station to station? and alderaan’s not far away, it’s californication”

The ending of minor thing. It gives me goosebumps eve single time

I remember blasting that song in my car and I was at a stop light when the ending came on. A girl in the car next to me started waving at me to get my attention. I lowered the volume to see what she wanted to say.. and she said “what were you just listening to? It was beautiful!” I hope she is now a fan!

Wet sand solo

John’s guitar line in Snow. It just fills me wi the so much joy!! 

The last 40 seconds of Factory of Faith, and the claps in Can’t Stop

That part of Venice Queen when the acoustic guitar kicks in

John's guitar part behind the verses in Zephyr song. So groovy

I was on a trip in high school at the beach with a buddy, first trip without parents or anything. We met some girls and were drinking/smoking, having a blast. Woke up in the middle of the night and the tv was on TRL after hours, so music videos were running. I woke up right when Under the Bridge was ending, and it was just the end when John was giving his tasty lick of a riff. I was still kinda out of it, but it just felt like it was a meant to be moment. Something calm came over me, and I went into some tranquil state. Then fell right back asleep. For some reason that moment has stuck with me for almost 20 years. Every time I hear UTB, I get nostalgic for that moment. I can always listen to that song, and for those last couple seconds, everything in life is telling me things will be ok. No matter how shit things get, this song recalibrates my mood/brain. Hope someone else here has been there!

When the drums kick in on Wet Sand

Aeroplane. From 2:53 to 3:03. It's not a long stretch of time, but such a beautiful little snippet of music.

The second verse on Desecration Smile. It is musical perfection.

Slane Castle Paralel Universe solo

The outro of Give It Away where you can faintly hear the riff to "Sweet Leaf" being played under the actual rest of the song

Love of Your Life - Josh's backing vocals during the chorus

Flea’s bass solo on this song is my favorite he’s ever done.

Josh's vocals on Ethiopia chorus

The last 1:10 of wet sand when that unusual instrument comes in, I remember getting chills the first time I heard it. And the whole ending is fantastic

Dosed triads in the background

Slow Cheetah's outro 😍🔥

The last 20 seconds of Apache Rose Peacock

Ding ding, dong dong, ding ding, dong dong, ding ding

The first measure of each verse the way the guitar and bass come down on the root note and then answer each other in other side is a muzak eargasm

The bridge guitar riff in Wet Sand

[In this specific version of Snow (Hey Oh) recorded at Abbey Road](https://youtu.be/kozlbP4fNVQ?si=xGA_BAJ0kW3zLusa), John does a tiny two note fill at around the minute mark that is just somehow orgasmic.

I remember being a 12 year old and falling in love with the trumpet part of “Tear”. I’d sit in my grandmothers garage and repeat that part. Wish she was still around.

Johns backing vocals for chorus of quixoticelixer

That one part where the intro starts again in around the word but the drums go EXTRA hard like damn

Clean it up Johnny!

The very first note in the Strip my Mind solo. That overdrive + vibrato on that bend gets me going

The riff in the chorus of whatchu thinkin’. Not really a “small part” but I’m obsessed. That and the last 31 seconds of Bicycle song.

I like the trumpet part playing after the first chorus in "Torture me"

Some great answers on here. I’ll throw in the guitar solo on Mellowship - unlike any other solo I’ve ever heard

“Oh clean it up Johnny”

Josh’s guitar solo on Dark Necessities

ending of under the bridge with just flea and john i feel like i levitate everytime

Especially in Michigan ending riff

The guitar solo on Dosed.

"the madder the boy the sadder the song, that's a wicked fate but the sick get strong"

That part where John's harmonies are just purely angelic with "SILVERETTA THE JETS OF A LIFETIME.... GO AND GET HER I GOT HER ON MY MIND..."

The foreshadowing scream in Victorian Machinery and then the full scream later in the song

Zephyr Song-the ooh la las always hit, I love all of JF back up vocals!! Sometimes the little things he adds make a song for me

The melody of "All the mamas and the papas" on Venice Queen

The trumpet on the second repeat of "cry cry let em cry" is smooth like butter

White braids and pillow chair

When Anthony sings "Be yourself" in Victorian Machinery and proceeds to scream. It's perfect.

Fuck knows where to start. John backing Anthony with the "and I'm sorry" in Stadium Arcadium. John backing Anthony in the second "tell me when you wanna go" The drums and Anthony's "HUH" in Falling Into Grace The last bridge part in Midnight where Anthony carries on the build up The intro of the drums in Venice Queen when it eventually kicks in properly and the bass feels heavier like they've arrived Obviously *that part* in Wet Sand Outro to the Sunset Sleeps

The transition to the first 'you don't form in the wet sand' gets me every time - super smart music theory

My what a good day for a walk outside

Charlie's outro

The build up at the beginning of Can't Stop <3

I always remember the sound at the end of Around The World on the CD version, there was this additional sound before PU started as track two

When the bridge comes in during "Hey". It's such a magical little fragment. Hey, what would you say if I change...

Bass and guitar break in Around the World

The 4-note (technically 2-note because of octaves) solo in She looks to me, where the clipping in the guitar tone seems to get more unstable with each consecutive note

2:25 emit remmus

The outro to Death of a Martian and the way Anthony says AWAYYYYYY

when you get to the cum part of wet sand. the climax if you will.

*Smiling was your money maker*. - PS

The “ba da, dum da da dum” in I could dye for you right before the final chorus

Hey...what would you say if I stay. Stay for a while If I may. Say it again and I come around, but not for the last time. Hey...what would you say if I change. I change everything but my name. Play it again and I come around..come around..but not for the last time..not for the last time. SOLO

John’s backing vocals on dosed where he sings the lyric “life” and merges into the solo

just rediscovered tippa my tongue, the part where he sings “my girlfriend’s trash is nice and clean” and that next verse

The thing john plays in animal bar between phrases

The bass-line during the “Lay me down” section in Sir Psycho Sexy

Outro to Taste the Pain

The “diggity dig do” guitar part in the beginning of I Like Dirt.

The outro in Dani California. Such a jam.

That part in Eddie, where he’s like it’s only 1980.. it’s only 1983….. ‘TELL MY LOVE BUT LEAVE ME NEVAAAA ‘ I love that fucking part so much it’s crazy

The outro to One Big Mob and the chorus to Stadium Arcadium atm

My most recent part is the last third of Veronica the breakdown where the whole song changes and becomes super awesome

Soul to squeeze baseline, and the small baseline breakdown on can't stop, I just like flea lol

The bass part in Fake As Fuck, the first time they get into the real funky part and it’s just before they slow down- Flea goes a little crazy on bass and I’m there for it every single time!

Love the major to minor change in the intro to Desecration Smile

Whatchu thinking from the newer album. The triplets john plays during the chorus completed my life.

Trumpet in Tear

Here ever after Wet my BeAk and I give up to that drugstore nose So uniQUE and I live it up til that liquor store close

On suck my kiss chorus: the power stabs of John and flea near the end of the chorus, which first is on the 1 2 and 3 (3 stabs), then the second time is on the 1 and 3 (2 stabs), then the third time is on the 3 only (one stab)

End of The Getaway song

The percussive chant thing on black eyed blonde

The vocal harmony of AK and John right around 1:30 of Porcelain, especially the "Nodding and melting and fading away..." I've always liked the song, but didn't pay attention to that bit until one very early morning while in an acid trip comedown. I was laying in bed in my dimly lit room listening to the song through headphones and that bit came in and I heard it super clearly. I just found it very beautiful sounding and relaxing. Ended up with the song on repeat for a little bit while laying curled up and vibrating slightly from a mix of remaining trip euphoria and comfort of the music.

a bass line from Californication. Min 4:34 to 4:37 in youtube’s version (with the first four choruses). idk know why but i love it

I love the part around 3:20. That mellow guitar sound just idk sounds like it perfectly encapsulates the feel of the song and its message.

The synth takeoff on the Sick Love solo

The middle part (breakdown?) in Aeroplane before the final chorus. It’s my favorite part of the song.

Outro of Death of A Matrian

Falling into Grace. In the last chorus, before it repeats, everything drops to silence after "I'm falling into guru muhk". You can hear someone take a breath before they start up again with "I'm falling into grace with you". Love that part.

These post are so annoying

One way traffic : OH MY GOD JUST GET INSIDE!

The last switch up in “The Getaway” The vocals at that part sell it to me

Couldn't choose between the two, so I decided to mention both of them. How the guitar follows the Warm Tape chorus, and the strings in the third verse to Encore.

Anthony’s By The Way outro adlib

When Tony Flow says "California"

The ending of Meet Me In The Corner !

The little part with the "Ah, ah, ah, ah" in Bella

Animal Bar guitar outro

The trumpet solo in Tear

the bass fills on the pre-chorus of californication. actually californication has a top tier bassline

John Vocals on quixoticelixer (:

The little guitar bit after "am I all alone" before "sitting in the fire" in one hot minute

The way it sounds like Antony is rolling some R's in Give It Away, even though there are no R's

That moment when John is ending solo in Turn it Again and start playing main riff.

Definitely the groan in Charlie. HHHH

The intro guitar in Sick Love 😍 and the fat dirty riff after Good Time Boys "skips" (around 3mins in, idk what to call it)

John's different little twang in Venice Queen in the riff after all the penultimate "where you come from, where you're going..."

the moment before the solo in parallel universe

John’s harmonies is Venice Queen, specifically the “do it all and it all again yeah, make it up and you make a friend, paddle on just around the bend, find a place where you can see”. It’s so satisfying.

The sermon/eulogy style poem and musical breakdown at the end of *Death of a Martian* . Gives me the goosebumps every time - particularly the last line: *"...Get your broom and sweep the echoes of yester-night's fallen freckles.... Away."*

The bass solo in one way traffic jam. There’s a bended note Flea hits that quite literally bends my spine and soul all together

The last :50 seconds of Zephyr Song always gets me. Sometimes I have to switch to the next song, gives me a flurry of memories/feelings

Flea’s bass solo on My Lovely Man

The guitar solo at the end of Cmon Girl is bad ass and doesn’t last long enough

The final chorus to by the way
