Red Hot Chilli Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers is a rock band from California with the combined genres of funk, hip hop, and rock n roll which combines to make funk metal. The peppers were the first to use funk metal and are often known to play with their shirts off and the bassist Flea is sometimes known to play naked.  They have been around for 23 thriving years and has definitely had a couple difficulties and a lot of member shuffling. In 1988 the guitarist Hillel Slovak died of a heroin overdose and was replaced by John Frusciante who nearly killed himself the same way, while also singer Anthony Kiedis also had drug addiction problems.  Kiedis actually has limited and almost nonexistent vocal range, but actually his terrible voice is the best thing to happen to the Peppers and gave birth to the genre rap-rock and brought along bands like Limp Bizkit. The rest of the band played to form with kiedis’ voice by having some parts rapped and then suddenly have sung parts come into play. The Peppers are well known for their rowdy shows with kiedis jumping around rapping, headbanging, with a twist of hip hop and a skater look going on he was irrisistable to the ladies. Its all cock rock, where the fans all get hot and bothered by the band playing, only if the Peppers would have took the cock rock less literal. They also have a lot of songs that refer to sex but after awhile they learned how to write good songs that aren’t only about sex surprisingly, but without the sexy it just isn’t the Chili Peppers.  They really seem to write about California a lot but not only sing about the beauty of it but also the flaws and the rot beneath. The Chili Peppers are still rockin in tube socks and is always the first to arrive and last to leave. And in a world of mopey emo, depressive indie rock, and all that gloomy stuff theres always the Chili Peppers to brighten up the mood with their old fashioned beliefe that the point of rock is to make merry.
