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.

when i was a youngster in the seventies, ohio players came out with this on the radio along with the song fire, i was instantly jamming in my room with my nfl curtains, bedspread, sheets, and pillow case room with my lil hi fi one-piece stereo/turntable/eight track console, the original is actually a slower tempo than this version, love both versions, i like this one because it is a faster tempo along with the guitar feedback to start the song, anthony singing in a muffed distant microphone, which is really cool, the guitar riff isn't actually the same as the original, i like the original guitar riff better because the guitarist does more wrist roll strumming with his pick hand vs a more choppier picking/strumming that rhcp guitarist does, but overall, i love both nuances and dynamics each band gives to the song. to me,,, it's the same song, but they are two totally different songs because of the different lyrics, nuances, and dynamics that are presented. both versions are great in their own personal stamped way.
roller coaster, of love, say what?? yeeeeaaaah,,.

The bass at 3:37 and 4:11 is the band’s way to say:
“Signed, RHCP”

All depends on your style of music. Personally I like both. I like most of all music like the chillie peppers that's why they did this.

Dudes. This is an awesome song! And RHCP do a GREAT job - covering it. Sorry to be the bad news bearer - this song was written in the 70s - by The Ohio Players.

for a long time (i.e. more than 10 years) I honestly thought this was by the Scissor Sisters, lol
in my defence, I'd only ever half-heard it on the radio, on noisy workshop/factory shop floors, and the backing vocals do sound like the Scissor Sisters

I like the music video for this song. The band is riding on a rollercoaster and Beavis & Butt-head are riding in another one of the cars and playing kazoos.

Even though the Ohio players original is better, I like this version because RHCP did it out of love for the Ohio players and all 70s funk

@LogoAttitude

The yelling of "aww shit, yeah" at the start of this song is the only time strong language is heard in Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. The strongest word used by any character is "goddamn", used 3 (or 4, depending on who is asked) times in the movie. Even though "goddamn" is more offensive than "damn" on its own (to the point of being occasionally removed from radio airplay of certain songs), it still can be said multiple times in a PG-13-rated movie.
