Red Hot Chili Peppers were conceived in 1983 in a living room in Hollywood where four close buddies from Fairfax High School (Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak, flea and Jack Irons) performed an acappella rehearsal for a performance to take place at the legendary Rhythm Lounge. The performance consisted of one song, "Out In L.A." which, traditionally, remained their opening song in every live show to date. [Up to November '89 definitely not for BSSM tour in '91, maybe not for '90 tour - lsh] The band soon developed a strong following in Los Angeles, something unheard of considering the fact that the band had only been in existence for a couple of months and had not yet pressed a single album. It was at this point that Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons decided to conti More...

BICYCLE SONG, seach on it on youtube, I love it. and FUNNY FACE. those 2 aren't on any CD. Another Pepper's Masterpiece | Reviewer: C-Dub ------ About the song Slow Cheetah performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers I love this song. I have some insight from anthony kiedis' book, Scar Tissue about the following lyrics. Any other day and I might play A funeral march for Bonnie Brae Why try and run away? on pg 317 of the paperback edition he says that the intersection of Bonnie Brae and sixth street is where he went to get drugs. He was struggling to stay clean but after a dentist had to use narcotics to perform an extraction he was hooked again. I think he may be reminiscing about the moment that even though he had been clean for 5 1/2 years, he now lost all interest in running away from his addiction. Any other day he would mourn his drug addiction but today he sees no need. i could be wrong. hope i helped. that particular lyric had me stuck for a while. glad i picked up the book. Dude | Reviewer: kjones ------ About the song Breaking The Girl performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers this song is a simplified version of a intense love in motion if you will, gears in a clock on a large timeframe, but they come together in love and one of them can't contain it so if fizzles away. homeboy gets dumped and she moves on to other loves while he's kind of stuck in that friend zone...so he lays back for awhile thinking about her, until it starts over again. a broken cycle. because he keeps breaking that girl everytime he gets close. A choice jam | Reviewer: Ken ------ About the song Backwoods performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers This is a great display of the chili peppers at their best. Back when they concentrated on the combinations of music styles that gave them their individual sound and edge that the world fell in love with in the first place. The funky mix of punk rock, funk, and rock n' roll seems to have faded in some of their current jams and become somewhat alternative. Although the most recent stuff is amazing, I think that the little spark that surfaced in their earlier stuff has been shadowed in a way. ...PERFECT... | Reviewer: DarkHawkeye ------ About the song Tearjerker performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers I loved Rhcp but really when i found out..tht they made a tribute for my favourite musician..i was shocked..stunned..or w.e...these 4.20 mins...are one of a kind...they just teleport you in an another world...Well its really toucking too..Thx Rhcp.. R.I.P Kurt Cobain..WE miss you..but you are alive in our hearts and in your songs.. fuck | Reviewer: dani G ------ About the song Snow (Hey Oh) performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers I've got a problem with cocaine. Its fucking addicting and I'm a nice kid but I can't stop buying the shit. I have some right in front of me and I'm sweating out on whether or not I should keep doing it. What the fuck dude. Bicycle Song | Reviewer: Red Hot Fan Grl ------ About the song Bicycle Song performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers I think that only the melody of the song is upbeat, and happy. If you listen to the lyrics I think that the song is about a girl that he truly respects and cares about, but he keeps messing up the way he treats her. “I’d hop this fence to make amends I hope this movie never ends” I think that in the song he cares about the girl but doesn’t know how to communicate he feels and gets frustrated, because the bicycle is a symbol showing it’s a cycle of many similar relationships. That is what I thing, but maybe I am being too pessimistic. SO DAMN GREAT SONG!!! | Reviewer: Brandy ------ About the song Warm Tape performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers I lOVE THIS SONG,IT'S AN ORIGINAL PEPPERS' SONG..SO ODDLY BEAUTIFUL,IT TOUCHES YOU DEEP IN YOUR HEART!I THINK THAT MY BELOVED ANTHONY WROTE THIS SONG FOR HIS X-GIRLFRIEND JOHANNA LOGAN,AND THE LYRIC "MESSY BED A PART OF CHEATING..."WHO CHEATED WHO?ANYWAY I LOVE RHCP AND ALL THEIR SONGS OF COURSE! meaningg | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Californication performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers for all the people saying its about sex thats not the whole meaning of the song. i read the book by anthony kiedis, scar tissue, and in he tells the line "Psychic spies from China" came from when he was Auckland and ran into a crazy lady who kept ranting on about "psychic spies in china" -so you can take each line literal in his songs. and the rest is obvious- it is about hollywood and that world being fake. great song | Reviewer: brad ------ About the song Cabron performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers I was confused by some apparent discrepancy over the chorus where he sings "singin' songs about the local news" other sites quote it incorrectly and I had to double check 'cause tbh I thought singing songs about the local news sounded so silly it couldn't be right but I guess it is =) LOL anyway this is a great song, this whole album owns, everyone should have it in their collection. ttyl all Fantastic | Reviewer: Kimberly ------ About the song Save This Lady performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers With every song that I hear, Anthony Kiedis's lyrical abilities just never fail to amaze me. He's definitely got some awesome skills. The intro to the song is just amazing, especially the guitar. The bass is jamming and rocking all throughout the song, in the famous Chili Peppers style, one of the reasons why I love them so much. And Chad is just amazing as always. Love this song! RHCP rocks | Reviewer: michael ------ About the song Strip My Mind performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers man this songs rule is 1 of my favorite songs of red hot i cant take out of my head im always singing it i love the solo is great so like the song is great i hope they keep making songs like this blue and the shark | Reviewer: alex ------ About the song City of Angels performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers got it right.... it's about heroine... if anyone knew anything about drugs, drug references, and Anthony, im sure most of you idiots could figure it out... the last stanza to the song couldnt help but throw the heroine theme to the song in your face... "Under the bridge downtown/is where i drew some blood/ Under the bridge downtown/icould not get enough/Under the bridge downtown/forgout about my love/Under the bridge downtown/I gave my life away...."..... how much more obvious could it get? Outstanding song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Million Miles of Water performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers This song is fantastic. Far be it from me to second guess the lads, but they should've juggled the order to line up "Stadium Arcadium," "Slow Cheetah," and "Million Miles of Water" for a slow-down effect between a few funkier tracks (maybe "Hump De Bump" and "Warlocks"). I'd have dropped "If" to the EP and shifted "Charlie" to Mars. River | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Transcending performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers River Phoenix will never be forgotten, may he rest in peace. He is an example of what Hollywood will do to you. I just found out about his close ties with the red hot chili peppers. He was a great actor, and is missed. to Julia and the other guy | Reviewer: Aaron ------ About the song Dani California performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers You are both right... kinda Dani is a made up character to represent every girl or woman Anthony Kiedis has ever known, friend or love. The made up character is a poor girl born in Mississippi who lived a hard fast life and eventually died in Californa. The Dani character might i guess appear in other songs like Californication and Scar Tissue(which is where it started, Dani California is the end) even though the name 'Dani' is not used. Not Ugly Lust, Pure Love | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Universally Speaking performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers I believe it is a misinterpretation of these lyrics to call them ugly lust. He sees her face, elegant with beauty, yet tired with the suffering of the soul, cut up from the chase of happiness in this material world. In a brief moment, he sees her heart open, her Love stream flow: he sees her divinity, and he knows that "theres no name for" the eternal beauty there. Give up the illusion, the pain and the longings you hold on to, come to Truth, universally speaking, and be free. This Truth is: there is nothing better in this life than Love and Service, and we all win in the long run. Since it is his goal to set her free, and he knows that the way this universe works, it is only a matter of time anyways, he feels the peace of the certainty in this knowing: he wins, in his selfless goal of Love and Service. He saw her crime, the cause of her misery, dying to get high, to reach that point of self Love, strength, and divine freedom, maybe glimpsed in some drug use. All drug use, all addiction, is just the longing for Love, and the only kind of Love that satisfies is the undying eternal Love found in Love and Service: free of boundaries, material requirements, and limitations: found in giving, not receiving, and is our own eternal nature, shadowed by ignorance. Stadium Arcadium | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the song Stadium Arcadium performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers The first time I heard this song I knew instantly what it was about. I checked the lyrics and sure enough, I was correct. I think it's very kewl that Anthony was able to put into words and music what turns out to be the ONLY experience that will ever matter to him and do it in such an unassuming way. In fact, any Orthodox Christian would recognise what he's doing...The bells are from the bell towers of an Orthodox Church, the smoke around the perfect face is the censing Christ's icon during an Orthodox service, the forest room is a monastic cell, and it's there that he evidently asks forgiveness of the list of iniquities that he belts out. In fact, Johnny's chorus sounds alot like what you would hear from a Russian Orthodox choir. I have a brand new respect for Anthony and very happy for him too. for blarg | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dani California performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers Dani california isn't actually a real person. She's representing every girl that kiedis has fallen in love with. Ok. Back to my point. I think this song is awesome, and I absoulutely love RHCP. If you like RHCP, then you HAVE to listen to "torture me".
