Red Hot Chilli Peppers
The old saying goes “you don’t know what you’ve had until its gone”. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers learned this when their prize guitarist, John Frusciante, left the band right after it had finally achieved commercial success with “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” in 1992. The time away helped both Frusciante and the rest of the “Chilli Peppers” realize just how good things were to begin with. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers tried to move on with a new guitarist, but the albums that were produced afterwards had a noticeably different feel that didn’t please all of the fans that the band had worked so hard to win over. Frusciante, on the other hand, saw the value of what the band offered as he dealt with his own personal problems.
The story makes a happy turn though, as the band reunited, and the original spark that was so clear in “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” was back. All of the Chilli Peppers most successful work has come with Frusciante in the band. After “Blood Sugar Sex Magik”, Frusciante returned to help bring back the Chilli Peppers into an elite status of Rock ‘n Rollers with “Californication”, “By the Way”, and “Stadium Arcadium”.
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers represent one of the greatest bands to come out of Los Angeles and are still one of the largest concert draws in the world. Through a host of booking agents, the band does a steady dose of private dates. However, due to high demand and popularity - the band demands a premium. Concert goers all through the world cite the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as one of the best stage performing bands around.
