"Dosed" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 2002 album, By the Way. It was released as a single in the USA and Canada only, as "Universally Speaking" was released internationally.
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 songs 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, while the second and fourth are answered by Anthony Kiedis. Arguably, this piece is a closer reflection of Frusciante's solo albums, such as The Will to Death.
