Fight Like a Brave

Red Hot Chili Peppers

“Fight Like a Brave” is the opening track from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' third album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. It was written by Anthony Kiedis on the flight back home from rehab, as a call to arms to those with struggles such as the one the singer had with drugs.

It was released as the lead single for the album. Despite being a single, the song has not been performed live since 1989 though according to a magazine it was played once in 1991 though the setlist info remains missing and unconfirmed.

The single also included a cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic, “Fire” as a b-side, which would later appear on The Abbey Road E.P. and Mother’s Milk as a tribute to guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died in 1988.
