3. A Chili History
RHCP 1.0 consisted of members Anthony
Kiedis, “Flea”, Hillel Slovak and Jack
Irons. & then the rollercoaster began.
Hillel Slovak died of a heroin dose in
1988, leading to a string of guitar
playing addicts for RCHP until the
late 1990’s.
John Frusciante, one of the most
talented guitarists of all time
became a Chili Pepper just in time to
write
the
greatest
songs:
Californication, Scar Tissue, & Venice

Continues
John Frusciante has since been replaced
by Josh Klinghoffer, though to me
Frusciante will always be part of the
original RHCP.
I’m With You, their 10th studio album was
released in 2011.
2011-13 brought many anniversary years
for the band, followed by an
announcement early 2014 that they
would perform at Super Bowl XLVIII
half time show.

Brothers from different mothers, “Thing 1” has recently
