10 Even More Underrated Red Hot Chili Peppers Tracks

10. Save This Lady (2006)

One of the most defining aspects during this period of Red Hot Chili Peppers was the sense of motion their songs seemed to have, with this track being a fine example.

It was quintessentially Chili peppers: Solid melodies, bass lines to make you move and of course, the ever ambiguous lyrics of Anthony Kiedis. It also contained a swirling guitar part played in reverse - a technique that features more prominently on John Frusciante's solo albums but by no means felt out of place on this number.

This was a track that had every right to appear on the album Stadium Arcadium. During the production process, however, the band cut 10 songs from the record, and even so it was still a monster. Only the most devout Chili Peppers fans could undertake that musical pilgrimage in one sitting.

If it wasn't for the godsend that is a B-side, Save This Lady might have never seen the light of day. It's omission from the record can be somewhat forgiven after it was saved from the cutting room floor and given a place of honour on the single release of Desecration Smile. And thank god for that.
