The (animated) tribute Red Hot Chili Peppers Brendan Mullen


A few days ago he got in the network's new music video 'Death Brendan's Song' by Red Hot Chili Peppers. The days have passed, and every god has spoken about it, but I needed to write something about it. Both because it is the best clip of the theme of 'I'm With You' (in fact almost the only one who even today often hear) and by the emotional nature of a production that pays tribute directly to Brendan Mullen, who in his day was a founder of the legendary club The Masque in Hollywood and was a great friend of the band. Unfortunately Brendan died from a shot three years ago.

The video, which was directed by Marc Klasfeld (Foo Fighters - Times Like These, Fun - We Are Young) shows the band playing Anthony Kiedis through the streets of New Orleans, probably the best place to make an act of these characteristics. The reason for this? Over the years New Orleans has adapted the military band music at funerals, thereby encouraging a celebration that always seems sad and downcast. The musical march through the city of Louisiana has been without doubt the best and most elegant option, the Red Hot could have chosen for this video. And all in the end it works amazing, with many extras, lots of fire and some other memorable final portrait dedicated to the family of Brendan.
