The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
While the album was being made, Beinhorn told Kiedis to rap less, and sing more. At the time, Kiedis did not like his singing voice. He also thought the new style was too cliché. On The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Slovak played music that was different from funk, such as reggae and extreme metal. Slovak used a talk box on the song "Funky Crime". He sang into a tube to use the talk box. This let him make different sounds while playing the guitar. Flea used a different style of playing the bass guitar on the album. He would slap the strings to make different sounds. This was something he did on many of the band's other albums. The album has a cover version of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" by Bob Dylan. It is in a Red Hot Chili Peppers style.
