Dosed
Encyclopedia
"Dosed" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
from their 2002 album, By the Way
. It was released as a promotional single in the U.S. and Canada only, whilst "Universally Speaking
" was released in the UK. It peaked at number 13 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart in 2003.
The song features four guitars all playing completely different riffs. It is a ballad that clocks in at 5:11, making it the third-longest recording on the album. It runs through stages, each time repeating the original verse until the song's completion. In between the verses, guitar solos can be heard from the four guitars that play. The first and third lines of the chorus are sung by John Frusciante
and Anthony Kiedis
together in harmony, while the second and fourth are answered by Anthony Kiedis
solely. Arguably, this piece is a closer reflection of Frusciante's solo albums, such as The Will to Death
.
