"Otherside" has remained a constant staple on the band's tours since 1999, making it one of their top ten most performed songs. We were inspired more by paintings than by films…" Live performances We did look at a lot of the works of the futurist artists from the '30s, and the illustrations of the surrealists and from cubism. Valerie Faris: "We didn't look at 'Calagari' all that much, really. But it was also very important to avoid 'Caligari.' It was both inspiration and something to work around, because it has such a strong, specific style, and there have been other videos that have completely ripped it off." Jonathan Dayton: "We did look at Caligari, and we looked at a lot of German Expressionist film. Flea is hanging on high voltage wires and playing them as if they were a bass guitar, and Chad Smith is up on a tower with a rotating medieval clock that serves as his drum kit. John Frusciante plays a rope down a long corridor as if a guitar. His stage persona is different and quite dark when compared to his more energetic performances in other videos. Throughout the video Anthony Kiedis with short, platinum hair is seen in a castle tower. The band members appear dressed in black in unusual locations, with props intended to appear as surreal instruments. Escher are also seen in the video.Ī cartoonish story line is juxtaposed upon the song that of a young man's dream sequence. Elements of Cubism and work by the graphic artist M. Caligari, all influenced by German Expressionist art. The video was directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris in a black-and-white/ monochrome Gothic style similar to Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. "Otherside" refers to former band member Hillel Slovak, who died of a heroin overdose in 1988. It was also a big success in Iceland, where it became the second single from the album to reach number one, and in New Zealand, where it charted at number five. The song remained at number one on this chart for 13 consecutive weeks, one of the longest runs at the top of that chart. The single was highly successful, peaking at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the fourth-highest peak for the band, and number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, which was, at the time, the fifth for the band. The track was released in Australia and New Zealand in 1999 and was given an international release in January of the following year. It was released as the third single from their seventh studio album, Californication (1999), and confronts the battles addicts have with their prior addictions.
