The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983.
Their music incorporates elements of alternative rock,
funk, punk rock and psychedelic rock. The
band consists of vocalist Anthony Kiedis,
bassist Flea, drummer
Chad Smith, and
guitarist John Frusciante. With
over 80 million records sold worldwide, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the
best-selling
bands of all time. They are the most successful
band in the history of alternative rock, with
the records for most number-one singles (13), most cumulative weeks at number
one (85) and most top-ten songs (25) on the Billboard Alternative
Songs chart. and in 2012 were inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed in Los Angeles by
Kiedis, Flea, guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. Because
of commitments to other bands, Slovak and Irons did not play on the band's 1984
self-titled
debut album, which instead featured
guitarist Jack Sherman and
drummer Cliff Martinez. Slovak
rejoined for their second album, Freaky Styley (1985), and Irons for their third, The Uplift
Mofo Party Plan(1987). Slovak died of a drug overdose on June 25, 1988; Irons, devastated, left the band.
With new recruits Frusciante and Smith, the
Red Hot Chili Peppers recorded Mother's Milk(1989)
and their first major commercial success, Blood Sugar
Sex Magik(1991). Frusciante was uncomfortable with
their newfound popularity and left abruptly on tour in 1992; he was replaced by
Dave Navarro, who
appeared on the group's sixth album, One Hot Minute(1995).
Although successful,
the album failed to match the critical or popular acclaim of its predecessor.
Frusciante and Kiedis struggled with drug addiction throughout the 1990s.
In
1998, following Navarro's departure, Frusciante rejoined the band. Their
seventh album, Californication(1999),
became their biggest commercial success, with 16 million copies sold
worldwide. By the Way(2002)
and Stadium Arcadium(2006)
were also successful; Stadium Arcadium was their first album to reach number
one on the Billboard 200 chart. Frusciante left again in 2009 to focus on his solo career; he
was replaced by Josh Klinghoffer, who
appeared on I'm with You(2011)
and The Getaway(2016),
before Frusciante rejoined in 2019.
When it will come
around
The wind that... will
inspire
When will it make a
sound
The sound... I desire
'Cause we all need
something to do
A certain
something... that's true
Floating upstream
I've seen
The spider and the snake
A trip without pause when
I saw... my mistake
'Cause we all need
something to do
A certain
something... that's true
All my life... I have
known who I am
A troubled man but I stand
All my life I have
seen what it means
To be myself in this dream
'Cause we all need
something to do
A certain someone... that's you.
