Red Hot Chili Peppers guitar chords and lyrics

The rock group Red Hot Chili Peppers was founded in 1983 when the musicians were studying at High School in Los Angeles. The band was supposed to perform only once, but the audience liked the concert so much, and they asked to repeat the performance every week. This amazed the musicians — they changed their name to RHCP and began to actively perform throughout California. Within a few months, the band signed a contract with the EMI label and began recording their first album.

After the rise of popularity, the members of the group began to use drugs. In 1987, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were named LA Weekly's Group of the Year. The release of the new album was overshadowed by the death of Hillel Slovak from drugs. The group was on the verge of disintegration, but the musicians decided to continue writing music. The real success came to the group after the release of the Mother's Milk album in 1989. Then RHCP decided to change the label to match their ambitions. As a result, a contract was signed with Warner Bros. Records.

The breakthrough came in 1991 with the release of Blood Sugar Sex Magik. After its release, the musicians were awarded the Grammy, and the album itself was included to the list of the best at history. Unexpected popularity gave rise to a conflict in the group, which led to another replacement in the lineup. Californication — the group's most successful album was released in 1999. It has sold 15 million copies. After that, the collective released 4 more albums, but none of them had the same success as the seventh studio album.

In total, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have won 7 Grammy Awards. The band has sold over 80 million albums and has become one of the best rock bands in history. RHCP has achieved the perfect blend of funk, alternative, punk and hard rock. Sometimes musicians used rap in their songs. The songs written by Anthony Kiedis touch on a huge number of socially significant topics. The band has now returned to a classic line-up, but no new albums have been released since 2016.
