Overview Edit

"Can't Stop" is a song by American funk rock band, Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 2002 album, By the Way. It is the third single from the album. Since its release, the song has rarely been left off of a live set.

It is one of the few tracks on By the Way to revisit the original Chili Peppers method of short, rapped verses, containing fewer amounts of implemented texture. "Can't Stop" is unique, however, as it contains melodic and layered guitar and lyrical progressions, which the band's earlier work did not.

The song was the Chili Peppers' eighth number one Billboard Modern Rock Hit, and peaked at #57 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song influenced various other charts Worldwide as well as Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, respectively. It was also the band's only #1 single not to be included on their 2003 Greatest Hits album.

This song is a playable track in the game Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades.

4 stars interesting but not original
as a longtime chili pepper fan i like to say that i would rather a moderatly good studio b-side than an absolutely mind blowing live rendition of a previously released track, but these two live tracks somewhat sit in the middle for me. its good to here some fresh sounds on here(christchurch fireworks music) and the extended ending on if you have to ask, like i said very interesting but not as original as previous efforts.

3 stars A couple nice live tracks.
"Can't Stop" was the third single from the Red Hot Chili Pepper's "By the Way". As was done with every other single, it was released in two parts, in this case each part contained two live tracks. This CD (with the brown cover) contains live versions of "If You Have to Ask" and a live jam ctitled "Christchurch Fireworks Music".

The title track, one fo the most overplayed songs in Chili Peppers history, finds the band exploring a vein similar to their past, with a pseudo-rap vocal and a somewhat…
