"Dosed" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 2002 album, By the Way. It was released as the album's fourth single in the United States 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. No music video was made for the single.
Background
The song features four guitars all playing completely different riffs. A ballad that clocks in at 5:11, it is the third-longest track 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 chorus is sung by John Frusciante and Anthony Kiedis together in harmony.
Live performances
While the song was a single and popular song, "Dosed" was never performed live with Frusciante due to the fact that it needed at least two guitars playing simultaneously to be recognizable. "Dosed" was teased by Frusciante in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2006, and by Josh Klinghoffer in Athens, Greece, Istanbul, Turkey, both 2012, and in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in 2013. On May 28, 2017 in Edmonton, "Dosed" was performed for the first time in its entirety during the band's The Getaway World Tour with opening act IRONTOM's Zach Irons, son of founding Chili Peppers' drummer Jack Irons, providing a second guitar to the song to honor a 17-year-old terminally ill fan, Maggie Schmidt.
