The birth of Red Hot Chili Peppers & the early years. 1984 saw the release of the band’s self-titled Red Hot Chili Peppers album; Freaky Styley was released the following year; Uplift Mofo Party Plan followed in 1987 & Mother’s Milk in 1989. The period saw a number of band member changes including the appointment of John Frusciante & Chad Smith and tragically the death of guitarist Hillel Slovak in 1988.

 

1990 saw RHCP change labels to Warner Bros with Blood Sugar Sex Magik being released the following year. In 1992, John Frusciante, unable to cope with the pressures of fame & touring, abruptly quit the band and a period of change over the role of guitarist followed with Arik Marshall, Jesse Tobias and eventually Dave Navarro stepping into the role.

 

Essentially the Dave Navarro years; Dave first appareared with the band at Woodstock 1994. This period saw the release of One Hot Minute in 1995.

 

 

In April 1998, it was annouced that Dave Navarro had left the band thus paving the way for the return of one John Frusciante. The epic Californication followed the next year in 1999. In 2001, the Chili Peppers released their first concert DVD, Off the Map.

 

Following the two year tour for Californication, the band immediately started writing for the follow up album, By The Way, which was released in 2002. Red Hot Chili Peppers’ second live DVD, Slane Castle was released in 2003 followed by the live album, Live in Hyde Park in 2004.

 

The Stadium Arcadium years; the album and then the tour.

 

 

 

The quiet RHCP years as the band went on hiatus following the gruelling Stadium Arcadium tour with band members dispersing to pursue their own interests. Late 2009 saw the announcement that John Frusciante had left the band (some time before). Josh Klinghoffer replaced Frusciante & rehearsals for a new album began with actual with recording beginning in September 2010.

 

The come back year for RHCP with the new line up and new album, ‘I’m With You.’ Early in the year articles started to appear touting the album as one of the ‘must hear’ albums of 2011 and then the band featured heavily in the world’s press with the album release. 2011 also saw the start of the tour to promote ‘I’m With You.’

 

RHCP still continue to feature in the world’s press with the continuation of the world tour (although initial dates were postponed due to Anthony’s foot injury) and RHCP being inducted into The Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame in April.
