Drum kit

A Selection of Current Entries

Standing in line to see the show tonight,
I see the Chilis within my sight,
Everyone here can't wait to see
Frusciante and his amazing melody
Thousands of eager fans start to cheer,
As the amazing Mr Kiedis and co appear,
I hear Flea's bassline start to roar,
It's clear to see the crowd's in awe.
The show gets going with Chad on the sticks
And this, my friends, is a crowd transfixed.
Holly

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
and the cue's huge...but i don't care!
I'm at the front and no one's gonna move me
...anywhere!
Matthew

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
My heart is thumping, in beat with the drum.
Never knew a gig could make me feel this, overload.
My friends are singing, the show is just beginning,
Beneath the vast sky of Hyde Park.
I'm just so happy to be here
Hope it never ends.
Stephanie

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
and its raining! lots and lots
I'm regretting wearing a white tee
As the man in front pointed out to me...
"BOOBS!"
My man's centre stage and he's staring...
"I LOVE A K"
is what he's reading...
off my chest
Lisa (Future Mrs. Keidis)

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
Chicks on speed,
Were no good,
Sorry boys,
Please understand the bottles,
Were meant with love.
Mono

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
I'm behind 10 year olds wailing away,
how come I cant see over there heads,
to see Anthony,
why I am so short?
Abbie

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
and my heart beats, to the chili sound
Feeling the rhythm, the sweetness of Keidis
I'm reaching, for the higher ground
Under the Bridge ends the show, and so does my world
Gotta give it to them, they've broken this girl
Ro

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
Without the chillis, this show can't be right.
Californication, scar tissue and road trippin'.
We just can't wait for these classics to begin.
Drinkin the beers while music graces our ears.
Then as the chillis finish here comes the tears.
Thomas

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
and i'm freezin', heavy boat.
By the way it's pourin' with rain and i'm wearing,
a bin bag. Jamie and Steve are throwing things at me and it's annoying,
please stop it...
Ode to Manchester 18th june 2004
Tim

Standing in line to see the show tonight,
The excitement's rushing inside me,
I've got front row tickets and perfect line of sight,
They come onstage - wow- I swear he looked at me!
The divine aurals make me feel like jelly,
each note tickles my spine,
i feel the music in me!
The gig's now over and they've taken their bow,
I'm sad, but I've great memories now!
Gemma

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
the buzz in the crowd, sends us wild,
by the way, my son stands there,
just a head in the crowd,
bouncing around so young and so proud,
the drums are so loud,the buzz is around,
his dream has come true, because of you.
Karen

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
I can't believe it
I missed my chance
had the tickets for hyde park
was going to have such a lark.
Then the sitter pulled through
I couldnt make it boooo hhhoooo.
Didn't make this up its all true
sent instead my hubby and father in law
and I didn't see the chilis at all
Michelle

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
but I can't go,
coz I couldn't get a ticket,
by the way,
I just want 2 say, i need the kit,
coz last nite was the best concert ov the year & i missed it!
Lizzy

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
And there's nowhere,
I'd rather be...
Admiring a band that
Changed the world
And my dreams...
For enternity...
James

Standing in line to see the show tonight,
Been here for six hours,
Got frozen toes,

Anton the swan, John, Chad and Flea to rock London,
Great show
Jamie

Standing in line to see the show tonight
my best mate cant come, she is so bummed.

and give her the drums.
Nicola

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
I've got my coat on, it's blooming cold.
By the way I hope it dont start raining,
I'll catch my death
Inside the gig the Peppers bring it on and turn the heat up Overload
Now the rain and cold is all forgotten
What a top time.
Simon

MR FLEA
Kerrie

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
To see that hot band,
King Funksters of the land,
Chili's are their name,
Rocking is their game,
John, Chad and a guy called Flea,
Make them freaky beats with the voice of Anthony,
Come one come all to Radio One,
For this lot are simply second to none!
Alistair

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
the Red Hot Chilies,
my favourite band.
by the way, i tried to say, i'd be there
waiting for,
Anthony Keidis, Chad and Flea, with John too,
you know who
by the way i tried to say they were the best band,
worth waiting for!
Liz

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
and there's the Pixies on, he's a heavy bloke.
By the way i tried to hide all the pies,
but you had four.
Lindsay

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
and it's raining, soaking wet!
But we don't care, cos the chilli's are there.
Chad on the stix, John playin the licks.
Then Flea and Anthony gettin there kicks!!
OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!! Dan

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
I wanted tickets
to their show
by the way I
answered right
every night
on zane lowe.
Stef

Standing in line to see the show tonight,
Been awaiting for this moment most of my life,
I can't believe it, I'm finally here,
I'm near the back, but I can see so clear,
The energy, the excitement, the feeling, the rush,
The music starts playing, there is an awed hush,
Then jumping, and shouting, and singing along,
Everyone having their own favourite song.
And then it's all over, it's back to Dundee,
But that night will always mean so much to me.
Karen

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
Mind takes flight, seeing things in a different light,
Could this be the night
where, Love conquers all fright and fear,
Never before have I seen it so clear,
Right now, right here - RHCP appear,
Shivers slide down my spine, Just in time
Flea picks up the bassline,
With the world in my hands, I hand it to them
sublime.
Craig

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
Our hearts are thumping.
Like Chad's kick pedal pumping (building up, building up).
The energy's immense as the guys take to the floor,
They thrash us with their stuff, but we're crying out for more.
Like animals possessed, they lead us to a higher ground.
We are the willing captives of the rhythm that they pound.
It's loud, it's brash, its raw and it doesn’t often rhyme,
but like no other band the Chili's give one hell of a good time!
Alan

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
and im thinking
i spent all my money
on the ticket
and i wanna have the drum kit

James

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
hoping that one day -
I'll be on the stage.
Drumsticks in my hands
foot on the base pedal -
amazing my fans
Claire

Standing in line to see the show tonight...

The whole crowd is excited...
Can't wait to be musically united...
As one they're gonna move..
To another great Chilis groove...
Seth

Patrick

The stage is bathed in orange light,
I want to get funky
I want to rock
But I don't want to see
wangers
covered in socks
Anthony

I won't thank my mum.
Jess

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
the excitments overflowing.
I can't wait to see Anthony with his top off, great pecs.
They remain pert, despite his age, it's a wonder,
why can't mine?
All of this and their music rocks,
I'm so excited, can't contain myself.
Lucy

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
The lights are bright
Their faces white
The crowd sway from side to side
All there are eyes are open wide
To the sound of the chilis we all sing along
To The Greatest Band who keep rocking on
Wyndham

Standing in line to see the show tonight...

bloody touts.

and it's awfully cold.
By the way,
you could have said it was freezing,
I can't feel my toes.
Beans

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
And there's a band rocking out in the dark.
John, Anthony, Flea and Chad, please play for me,
On a warm evening in Hyde Park!
Natalie

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
We see no band in sight.
Giving the boys a fright.
Only for them to come out and light
The stage up with their music blasting right
Left, centre, not uptight...
Flea throws his pants off.
Giving the girls a fright.
Very tight.
Psyche.
Steven

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
Eyes shut closed by blinding light,
Tho I can't see I tap my feet,
Guided along by Chad's Thundering beat.
James

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
you know that Chad's on... What a pro!
Hope against hope that he will do a solo, watch him go!
His chokes are tight, yeah and his flams are too.
I'm waiting for the day he plays a ratamacue.
When I see him drum I know he's just like me,
I even have a bassist who plays just like flea.
As a final remark, I am proud to say:
the Red Hot Chilli Peppers made me who I am today.
Adam

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
The pep's have come to hear me out.
What more can I say I love them all...
The Chili kit I was born to control.
Lewis

Standing in line to see the show tonight...
with that person who just might...
change my life forever by...
asking me to make the sacrifice...
to see the chilies live in concert.
The banging on the drums mught hurt...
my ears and could send me into a fit....
I wanna win that Chili drum kit.
