Their music incorporates elements of alternative rock, funk, punk rock and psychedelic rock. The band consists of co-founders Anthony Kiedis (lead vocals) and Flea (bass), as well as drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist John Frusciante, the latter of whom has been in the band across three stints. With over 100 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. They have won six Grammy Awards, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, and in 2022 received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed in Los Angeles by Kiedis, Flea, guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. Due to 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). Irons left after Slovak died of a drug overdose in June 1988.

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. After a series of temporary guitarists, 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 Blood Sugar Sex Magik. 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. They released their 12th album, Unlimited Love, in 2022.

The Chili Peppers' mix of hard rock, funk and hip hop has influenced genres such as funk metal, rap metal, rap rock and nu metal. Kiedis said the band were early to combine "hardcore funk and hip-hop-style vocals", and suggested they had influenced Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, and Linkin Park. Smith said, "Certainly Anthony's singing style and voice lends itself to being unique, and nobody sounds like him. The cool thing about it is we can play any style of music whether it's hard and fast, or loud or quiet, slow or medium, whatever it is; rock or funk, and it still sounds like us. I'm proud of that because sometimes bands don't have that strong personality where you go, 'Oh, that's boom, right away.'"

The Chili Peppers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame In April 2012. The induction lineup was Kiedis, Flea, Smith, Klinghoffer, Frusciante, Slovak (represented by his brother James), Irons and Martinez; Frusciante was invited, but did not attend. Navarro and Sherman were not inducted; Sherman said he felt "dishonored". The band performed "By the Way", "Give It Away" and "Higher Ground", which included Irons and Martinez on drums. It was the first time Kiedis and Flea had performed with Irons in more than 20 years.

In 2003, Rolling Stone released their first list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", with Blood Sugar Sex Magik at 310 and Californication at 399. In 2012, a revised list was released, with Californication at 401. In 2020, Rolling Stone released another version of the list, with Blood Sugar Sex Magik at 186 and Californication at 286.

The band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 31, 2022. George Clinton, Woody Harrelson and Bob Forrest unveiled the star at the ceremony.

Me E My Friends
Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends

Like two sweet peas in an even sweeter pod
That's my friend and my friend's named Bob
Like the devil knows hell I know Bob well
Well enough to tell you 'bout his '67 smells
Well enough to tell you he's a hell-a-swell fellow

Well enough to tell you that we know each other better
Than we know our selves like freaks of a feather we rock together I know Bob well
But I think he knows me better

Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends

He's as close to me as a friend can be
I'll be standin' by my buddy he'll be standin' by me
Just another half of the two headed freak
But I need him like my heart needs to beat
At this point in this friendly verse
I've got to sing a little something that I haven't rehearsed it's about my man
And his name is Hillel for who my love is soul brother sacred take it huckleberry
Slim boy take it

Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends

Jacky's eyes are closed but he's right on course
Because he's guided by the invisible force
He drives a kooky green Chrysler bad as anybody's Porsche
He's a working class drummer he's as strong as a horse

Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends
Me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my, me and my friends

My friends are so depressed
I fear the question of your loneliness
Confide, 'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will
Y'know I will

Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely, too
When you don't know yourself

My friends are so distressed
They're standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely, too
When you don't know yourself

Imagine me
Taught by tragedy
Release is peace

I heard a little girl
And what she said was something beautiful
To give your love no matter what
Is what she said

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely, too
When you don't know yourself

It can get better. No matter what it is.
RHCP made up part of the soundtrack to my heroin addiction, so hearing some of their songs (this being one of them) bring back some cold, dark memories. I'm clean for nearly 6 years now. But good music = good music, so i still listen to them... even though their music/lyrics evoke some terribly painful memories in me. Now i try to see it as things being so much better than they used to. I changed, but my love for their songs never has.
(Just wanted to comment because my experiences/what their music means to me is the opposite of what it is to you)
But whatever it is, I hope it gets better for you. Love u man

He have said he's guitar heroes are Daniel Ash (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets), Robert Smith (The Cure) and Jimi Hendrix. I saw them live a few times and saw Flea with Talking Heads, Joy Division and the Banshees t-shirts, he also likes punk rock, and post hardcore (FEAR, Fugazi, Black Flag, X, etc). Chad and John are more into Prog, Jazz, Hard Rock, Funk and Heavy Metal. Chad has been featured on Drumeo, and Modern Drummer magazines talking about John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Rush, Bill Bruford, Funk and R&B drummers. I have some guitar mags with John talking about Frank Zappa, Marc Ribot, D. Boon (Minutemen), Gang Of Four, Captain Beefheart's guitar players, Ritchie Blackmore, Steve Hillage (Gong), Dimebag Darrell, Randy Rhoads, old Metallica, etc. I think Anthony is into all that too.

'I love all of you hurt by the cold.' We all know how much the cold can burn. Sometimes I forget that everyone has felt it. This song makes me remember that we all struggle.

Totally agree; I think it's the contrast with John (um....hard to stand next to a phenom?)? And I'm super sure why but I've seen them twice after Navarro and never seen them play anything from this album. This is a great song, for sure (I think, anyway).

There is a genuine reason why that the rhcp are decades old. They know their craft. They speak to people. I remember hearing under the bridge when I was a teenager. I didn't understand the lyrics of Anthony Kiedis back when I was a young man finding my way in this ***, *** world. At least we had Men who played guitars back then.

Dave Navarro brought a whole newer and darker element to the Chili Peppers' music. I still think this is my favorite album by them, but that's a really tough call. They're all great.

@JohnDoeEagle1

5y↑2

I agree, should have been both John and Dave at the same time. My Friends is a very very good song with good groove and feel. Then again I'm not your typical RHCP fan. I don't like the "funky" or weird stuff being a classic rock and blues kind of guy.

Higher Ground, Under The Bridge, My Friends, Californication and a very select few others are my favorites of theirs. I like that type of sound and enjoy the Jimi Hendrix tribute feedback driven guitar solos John often does/did live.

@truckerkevthepaidtourist

yeah that Dave started tap and Carmen Electra got married to her then it was all about the reality life ever since I think last I seen he was judging tattoos on some reality show.

@LL-ow1qt

Yeah, I also love the sound they created.

@harrisonh.rossjr.6412

I think the album with Dave Navarro was some of their best work! He brought another creative dynamic to them. And more great albums would have come if they stayed with him.

this really helped me in 96 when I bought the tape on a spur of the moment decision at a turtle's while traveling cross country to meet some friends and stay until i found my feet. I had just gotten divorced and the kids and I were traveling to start over. the kids and I loved singing along with the other kids on this song. it helped them to relieve tension and dance. no lie it helped me too.there were some other good songs on that album . and of course from a musician,'s stand point flea really had it going on. they all complemented each other's performances. I really wish I was still 27 and hearing new music for the first time while on a road trip.
