Who is Red Hot Chili Peppers?

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. The band’s current line-up is Anthony Kiedis, Michael “Flea” Balzary, Chad Smith, and Josh Klinghoffer. Their musical style fused traditional funk with elements of other genres including punk rock and psychedelic rock. The group originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. Slovak, however, died of a heroin overdose in 1988, resulting in Irons’ departure. Irons was replaced briefly by former Dead Kennedys drummer D.H. Peligro before the band found a permanent replacement in Smith, while Slovak was replaced by guitarist John Frusciante. This lineup recorded the band’s fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth albums, Mother’s Milk (1989), Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991), Californication (1999), By the Way (2002), and Stadium Arcadium (2006), their five most successful. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have won 7 Grammy Awards. The band has sold over 75 million albums worldwide, charting eight singles in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (including three in the Top 10), five number one singles on the Mainstream Rock charts, and a record of eleven number one singles on the Modern Rock charts.
