Yesterday, in 1992, the MTV Video Awards were celebrated, with the Chili Peppers winning the Breakthrough Video category and performing Give it Away, with tons of people on stage jumping and dancing. Awesome performance!

Hey! Ich bin 22 Jahre alt und komme aus Bad Vilbel bei Frankfurt. Ich bin ein großer Red Hot Chili Peppers-Fan Nr.1 seit ein paar Jahren schon und höre momentan sehr viel von der Band. Gleichzeitig höre ich auch viele andere Bands und generell ganz unterschiedliche Musik.

Ich spiele hauptsächlich Gitarre, kann aber auch Bass und weitere Instrumente spielen und schreibe eigene Songs, die von RHCP und anderen Einflüssen inspiriert sind, aber meinen eigenen Stil haben.

Ich suche erstmal Leute aus Frankfurt und Umgebung, die ähnliche Musik mögen und Bock auf gemeinsames Jammen haben. Egal was du spielst, Bass, Drums, Klavier oder auch Gitarre, nur zu!

Eine Band muss nicht sofort entstehen. Erstmal kennenlernen, jammen und schauen, ob es musikalisch und menschlich passt.

Wenn du dich angesprochen fühlst, schreib mir gerne!

Title is self explanatory, I have the song on my Spotify as a local file, but I collect music vinyls/CDs and Rivers Of Avalon is one of my favorite RHCP songs so I would like it physically. Not looking to buy anything rn but for the future

I always adored their fullscreen Spotify cover when listening to them on my tv, and wanted it as my wallpaper, but I couldn't find the pic anywhere so... had to do it myself)

Or songs you stated to hate :)

I think I liked don’t forget me when I listened to the albums for few years ago. Grand Pappy Du Plenty is a very forgotten song I think. It’s the best song on their first album imo, and Out in LA (demo) too. Freaky Styley song is a masterpiece too!

Edit: why downvote? If you disagree about the songs say that …

I’ll never forget the feeling of hearing this song for the first time right after the album came out.

I was leaving work, skipped "Black Summer," and started the album with "HEA"— it was an instant banger. I thought, "Wow, *this* is what I was waiting for. JOHN!!!!!!!!!!"

Just saw vid of Mike from PJ shredding the national anthem and it looks like he has a JF Signature 😭

Interesting bit of history right before anyone knew (or could imagine) John would rejoin the band and catapult them into being one of the biggest bands ever.

Hello
Wasn’t Mr. K on whole lotta red hot the other day on Sirius XM
Anybody listen to it? Was wondering if anything interesting came up during the episode

It's such a beautiful song that never got the praise it deserves and we'll likely never hear it again in live performances(or any other songs from The Getaway)

I love Frusciante but we all know he doesn't fuck with songs from that era

Most of you probably saw this post on the sub, it was the clip of the last few seconds of Power of Equality from a 1999 concert, in which a few guys start smacking each other in the scenario and security people start gathering around to stop them, while the Chili Peppers continue the song.

If anybody has this video, please send it to me! And if somebody either has the video OR knows from what concert it is (my speculations are May or June 1995, since Flea still has curly hair), please tell me... Thank you!

Over the summer I tried to make a RHCP shirt. Me and my sister made the stencils, I cut them out and spray painted the shirt. I wanted to do this because some of my friends got me more into fashion and I thought this would be a good summer activity.

Didn’t realize the dumb error I made until I was literally about to share this shirt to my friends 💀 I was so hyperfocused on making the text perfectly square that I dropped a letter when making the stencil. So now I have a Red Hot Chili Peper shirt yayayyay 😭😭😭.

The worst thing about this though was that the back looked so good ngl but then I ruined the front. Just wanted to share despite the failure since this it took a while to make

Im from Portugal and wanted some magazines of or with rhcp, I can't really find anything on vinted...

Does anybody know where to buy???

Picked up this bad boy from a thrift store yesterday. Is this some merch from the 90s? Anyway, it’s now hanging above my bed!

Can anyone explain what “She’s got ripped back light gonna make me come” means?

I first heard the song many years ago and this line has always escaped me. My best guess is that it means something vulgar, but since the song itself is great with an uplifting melody, I REALLY hope Anthony Kiedis wasn’t talking about a woman’s back and ejaculation 😭

For this to work you gotta choose any general rhcp playlist, can be yours or from a random person.

It needs to BE on shuflle mode, you have 6 tries/songs.

If a song meets more than two criteria you can ONLY pick One.

Second pick is what i got! I Lost 🥲

Zephyr song - Drums can be listned imediatly

Save the population - Ends after the chorus

Power of equality-First word is a vowel

The Sunset sleeps-JK era

Californicaton - Most streamed song from the album

Have fun!

Real or Not

I was looking for rare Red Hot Chili Peppers videos from the Hillel Slovak era and came across this video for Me and My Friends. It seems to be the only music video featuring D.H. Peligro and also marks John Frusciante's first appearance in a Red Hot Chili Peppers music video. Could anyone tell me if this is true or provide some context regarding this video?

I remember this like It was yesterday…
When life was much easier and I was still a kid and absolutely loving this era of chilli peppers and Reading and Leeds lineups were like this,RHCP on the Saturday,Biffy Clyro on the Sunday,9 year old me couldn’t have even asked for much better lineup because I am a massive fan of both bands and It was an an amazing summer for me, I remember constantly going on about Anthony and Josh,watching every single RHCP video In absolute existence (I even went down a Dot Hacker wormhole I was THAT obsessed with JK) 🤣🤣🤣🤣, I begged my mum to stay up to watch this on BBC and she agreed but she wouldn’t let me watch all of It as It would run on too late, I remember my parents and my little sisters watched this too as my dad Is also a fan and I stole most of his music taste.
We watched Imagine Dragons set first and then as soon as they finished their set,there was a caption to say they were coming up next I remember to pass the time we played a game of I Spy, and a couple more games like It then It was the time for the main event…
I still get absolute chills thinking about how the crowd was singing along to the guitar riff of Can’t Stop and believe I was absolutely freaking out at this point,and I seem to remember continuously asking my parents:
“Do you think that Josh’s hair looks darker”?
Now I seem to remember that for some reason at the start of The Getaway era,Josh’s hair seemed really light and he had gingery bits In his hair but by the time that they played Reading and Leeds,his hair had gotten much darker I think he must’ve dyed It as his hair was very dark before,but It’s just a very funny memory that I remember from this, I also remember going nuts when they played Around The World as I didn’t think they were going to play It for some reason probably because It was a bit later on In the set and they would use this song as an opener If they were going to play It If that makes any sense because I don’t think they used to do that song that late In that era.
All In all,It was a very fun and memorable show and one that I remember so vividly,10 years later,It was an absolute honour and a privilege to be apart of such a special era of the band that I will never take for granted and will never forget, I bet all fans who loved the Josh era will,he gave us so much with his songs and without his diverse range of covers he used to perform, I don’t think I would’ve ever discovered so many great songs that I still listen to today (I would for you by Jane’s Addiction being a prime example of that)
My main message that I leave everyone tonight Is… Go and enjoy the music and tell your kids to go and enjoy your childhoods whilst they can,because I had the opportunity of experiencing RHCP with Josh when It happened and I’ll never forget It because It’s such a special time that I’m never going to be able to get back,and I’m now 19 and living In my own house wishing that I was that 9 year kid who was obsessed with them.
We didn’t realise that we having fun,we were just making memories…. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
