Video
Clips
A Rock Band or any Musician with their own genre and style, need
media to promote their works. If Painters need exhibitions to
show their artworks, Musician need Concerts, Radio Airplays, and
Videoclips.
Throughoutr the years, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have made a lot
of magnificent video clips/music videos. You name it, Fight Like
a Brave, Give it Away, under the Bridge, were among those names.
A good video clip would've never existed without the help from
good directors. Gus van Sant, Stephane Sednaoui, valerie Faris
and jonathan Dayton, were among the special people who had their
talents shared with the Chili Peppers.
you can find some of the bEst v-clip ever made by the Chili Peppers
on What Hits!? and By

for wildlife. A character, Eliza Thorberry (12) have a huge secret,
she have the ability to talk with animals! When they went to kalimantan/Borneo,
they found this kid, named Donnie. Donnie can't speak English,

of the main performer for the show. They showed up with Huge Lightbulbs
on their heads. and also Dave Navarro's first big show with the
Chili Peppers.
1999 was the year for 3rd Woodstock, the Biggest yet. And
The Red Hot CHili Peppers as the closing band for the show. Also
a very good place to promote their 7th album, Californication.
Woodstock 99 ended up in riot, The Chili Peppers were the one
who got all the blame. Let's hear it from Anthony's version ;
"Our perspective of Woodstock was pretty different from other
people´s" Kiedis reflects later "Because we pulled up about an
hour before we played and were driven to some remote dressing
room, which was nowhere near the people or the stage.It was like
some abstract concept of the show.When thousands of yards away
we saw these huge plumes of fire we just thought: Oh this is like
Lollapalooza, no big deal.We come offstage feeling good, and these
guys start telling me I´ve got to go back out there and make people
stop the fire. How? I did tell the crowd to be nice to the fire
department and let them do their job.When we got back to Manhattan,
I called my girlfriend and went to bed.I got up the next day,
opened a newspaper and read that Woodstock was riot. I didn´t
get it, because what I saw was a normal Festival crowd. Later
I found out that the promoters had being over-charging the kids
for food and water taking their own food and water off them when
they came onto the site, and basically exploiting the kids. I
was no wander they rioted -they deserve to riot- Then I started
hearing nasty rumors about girls being molested and raped. I can
only hope that they were rumors.If that did happened someone´s
got to come up with a new way of putting on festival so it never
happens again" - Kerrang UK

Yoga
Physical and mental training created in India thousands of years
ago. Based on the simple idea of taming your body to release your
mind. It strengthens your inner organs and unifies your body with
your mind. John Frusciante and Anthony Kiedis are two of the Peppers
doing this training while touring. You can see some photos of
John doing Yoga stance. You know what? They even had their own
personal Yoga Teacher during the tour.
Yohanna
"The biggest reason why it felt so good making this album was
that I fell in love with a beautiful woman" , Anthony kiedis
on Yohanna. Yohanna was a Designer in Fashion, Anthony met her
during the making process of Californication in 1998. No girl
has ever really took a place in Anthony's heart. They broke up
during the making of By The Way (2002). That's why most of the
tracks in By The Way are Anthony's emotional expression to Yohanna.

:: 4 ReMASTERS ;
In tribute to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, one fo the most influential
groups of all times and their 20th anniversary, first four releases:
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, FREAKY STYLEY, THE UPLIFT
MOFO PARTY PLAN and MOTHER’S MILK will be reissued
by their original label EMI on March 11 2003.
The four groundbreaking albums have been digitally re-mastered
and packaged using the original artwork like the first vinyl releases-
Plus: Rare bonus tracks, liner notes by Chili Pepper bassist Flea,
new photos and memorabilia! The release of the self-titled RED
HOT CHILI PEPPERS 1984, kick-started the Eighties with the release
of a debut, which fused funk and rock with tremendous conviction
and style.
In addition to the classic “True Men Don’t Kill Coyotes,”
the reissue features five bonus tracks, including demo versions
of “Get Up and Jump,” “Police Helicopter, Out in
L.A.” and “Green Heaven,” along with “What
It Is (a.k.a. Nina's Song)- the first RHCP song ever to be released
on an album!”
Produced by legendary Parliament Funkadelic superfreak George
Clinton and featuring the return of original guitarist Hillel
Slovak, 1985’s classic FREAKY STYLEY includes a stunning
version of Sly Stone’s “If You Want Me To Stay,”
along with fan favorites such as “Jungle Man” and
the quirky “Yertle the Turtle.” The reissue has four
bonus tracks, two of which are demos of “Nevermind”
and “Sex Rap,” along with the original instrumental
almost-nine-minute-long version of “Freaky Styley,”
a track previously unreleased and Millionaires Against Hunger.
Released in 1987, THE UPLIFT MOFO PARTY PLAN was the first
and last album to feature all four original bandmembers/Fairfax
high school classmates vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea,
drummer Jack Irons and Hillel Slovak, who die under tragic circumstances
in 1988. Produced by Michael Beinhorn , the album is arguably
the Peppers’ best, featuring a scorching rendition of Bob
Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” the reggae-tinged
“Love Trilogy” and the funk-splattered “Special
Secret Song Inside.” The reissue includes two previously
unreleased instrumental demos: “Behind The Sun” and
“Me & My Friends.”
In 1989, the Peppers took their throbbing punk-funk to the
mainstream with their critically acclaimed fourth album MOTHER’S
MILK, which featured a blistering cover of the Stevie Wonder
classic “Higher Ground”—a smash hit at both radio
and MTV. The album also marked the debut of drummer Chad Smith
and guitarist John Frusciante. The reissue includes live covers
of Jimi Hendrix’s “Castles Made Of Sand” and
“Crosstown Traffic” (the latter is previously unreleased).
In addition, there’s the original long version of “Knock
Me Down” (previously unreleased), the demo (with guitar
track) version of “Salute To Kareem” (also previously
unreleased) and Song That Made Us What We Are Today and an alternative
version of Sexy Mexican Maid.
