    Hey I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this but does anyone know the exact (or extremely close) to correct tempo for Red Hot Chili Peppers cover of Higher ground?

    That's about it. Somewhere between 138 and 144 according to http://www.metronomeonline.com/

    And that's for 4/4 time (with the triplet feel). If you wrote it in 12/8 that would come to about 420 eighth notes per minute.
