Hillel Slovak because he's the one who started it all. John Frusciante because he got the band to stardom. Josh Klinghoffer who kept the band in tact after John's departure. Personal fave is John, but they wouldn't be here without all the guitarists they've had over the decades, Dave Navarro included.
Flea survived and is back a better version of himself. I'm just glad he's forgiven the past behaviour of his parents it's never too late I wish him all the happiness he deserves.
@@betweenthewars4054 The choice is ours yes but if we don't forgive those that have caused us inner turmoil it will really keep us trapped in a cycle of internal pain. So to some it may be simple but for some of us it hasn't been.
Tara the cat fair enough but, do you really think the individual is processing "forgiveness", as it's meant to be, or simply choosing to "let it go" from issues with which one is expending unnecessary energy?
Yeah, I've read Anthony Kiedis' book and it's really a great read. Let's be honest here... I imagine they didn't read that before this they did this video.
They've all come such a long way considering their backgrounds when they first started out. I admire their dedication to music, but most importantly I love their friendships. I still can't believe that John is BACK!! It's been a dream of mine to see them live in their iconic line-up
I saw them record The Adventures of Raindance Maggie music video that same year I believe. It was in Venice Beach and it was a pivotal moment of my childhood.
Preach Flea!!!! I've lost my step son and my nephew to the opioid crisis. How'd they get started??? Doctors. When my step son tried to get clean, he went to the doctor. Got methadone. He wanted off. The doctor didn't ween him off, he just made the dose so low my step son went into withdrawal. That's when he went to the streets. Sadly, SOME doctors and pain clinics are in it for the money and getting patients clean is a loss of income. Be aware of what they give you and stop before it starts. Overdoses don't discriminate and we're all at risk. Doctors create addicts every day.
under the bridge is song that can tell a different story for each one of us at a certain time in their life back in 2017 I lost my job, my girlfriend no one family nor friends had anytime for me, and I was struggling in school failing multiple courses in one semester and I remember walking from 5pm till 1am daily along side the ports in my area listing to nothing but this song and it was really therapeutic I can honestly say that this song has healing powers I'm sure lots of us has similar stories about this song
These guys were the best band with staying power for decades. I loved their rock and funk, not so keen in their popular ballads. When they were on, they embodied the spirit of rock lifestyle.
Nobody else could carry Frusciante's jock in that band. Their big time success and major musical creativity was him. Look at his solo work. Trickfinger is an animal.
John fought his way out of hell and lived to tell the tale. He's just amazing and I love him. I know he's "back" but I don't expect it to last very long. I think Kiedis was super jelous of Mike Patton. Patton is more diverse and honestly more talented. Ultimately though, there never had to be a problem. Anthony caused that problem. They could have just been buddies from the get go, and sold out arenas together. I know RHCP did fine, but the collabs would have been awesome.
I've loved the chili peppers ever since i was like 6 or 7 and saw their Californication video on mtv for the first time. Flea is even the reason i picked up the bass at 15. Ill never forget seeing them play live at the Tampa Bay Times Arena during the stadium arcadium era.
Same here bro! I saw them on the stadium arcadium tour too. One of the few bands I can listen to every song on every album without pressing skip on a song. Not often you can do that with albums. Always a song or two I dont like typically
Frusciante is a genius when it comes to the guitar. But,you cant take anything away from the any of the guys behind the strings that's played with the peppers. Just that Frusciante gave that band a soul when he plays.so glad to hear he's back with them now.
Wow 90K dental bill John sure seems to have had it the hardest.. so glad he has been able to overcome his demons.... they all have difinetly been through a lot... true funk soldiers and inspirations to all musicians and anyone struggling with an a addiction . I super admire Anthony and Flea and Chad for continuing like they have but especially Anthony and Flea.. so many hardships. RHCP forever!!!!
Also my sister, my only sister, had a surgery in the late 90s. The doctors prescribed her _tons_ of oxycontine and she became completely addicted. Yeah, and she died year before last. At only 39, with three young children who will never know their mom. Flea was right.
@@sarahalbers5555 Thank you. Sorry about your friend. It's so senseless and so very hard to cope with. There's a residual anger that lingers. Have to learn to forgive them for doing this to themselves.
Flea, bust a move. You're one of my favorite people in the industry. I love your bee keeping and you're the best slap bassist. Suburbia is a classic movie, you made my teen years☯️🖤👹🔥🌶️🌶️🌶️🎸🎸🎸 Plus I loved you touring with Jane's Addiction.
John Frusciante gave his good friend River Phoenix a cup and said "drink this Riv, it'll make you feel fabulous" - it was 8x a lethal dose of heroin and possibly other drugs as well. Frusciante went into hiding and Johnny Depp took care of the press (Depp owned the Viper Room in LA where River died) Oct 31, 1993
It's nothing short of a miracle that an ex heroin addict likefully was able to use oxycontent for a prescribed period of time and then let it go. A literal miracle.
Mr. Bungle had a Halloween performance in Pontiac, MI dressed as the Chili's and they did a RHCP medley and made heroin jokes throughout the entire thing pretty much
This is what makes them the best band in the world. I appreciated the band so much more after I read scar tissue and Anthony's turbulent life. They're going to come back stronger than ever!!
@@BeatleHead88 Fun Fact: 99% of old school chilli fans gave up on them after By the Way. Anthony can't sing for shit and the more he sings the worse they sound. As for this video, I didn't watch it and I can't help what comes up in my recommendations. Been listening to Uplift Mofo this xmas morning. Still shits all over anything they've done since OHM and a little of Californication.. I wonder how long it will take before John grows tired of Tony's garbage singing this time. I'm hoping he only rejoined on the condition that Anthony never sings again... That may get a lot of us back on side...Merry Kissmyass.....and a happy gonorrhea.....
I am Thankful end Happy with Red Hot Chili peppers I am having a Depression end I am having OXICODON. For 2 jears now 35 jears long I am having Valium. IT saved may Life. Sorry
i think it's virtually impossible to be in the music and entertainment industry, and not have a brush with the drug culture. Some can handle it better than others.
buddy i dont think you understand how many rockstars there are that do that shit...almost every popular rock band from the 60s and 70s have had some seriously questionable relationships with women both underage and not. If thats all it takes for you to stop liking a band then how do you even like rock lmao
At what point do you actually draw the line before changing your opinion then? If he was 25 and she was 12 maybe? It’s only a couple of years difference on either side. It just doesn’t sit right with me knowing it regardless, especially as I have a daughter who is that age. By still listening to and supporting them I would feel that I was in some way condoning things that I never in the real world could, just because they sing or play an instrument doesn’t mean that they should get away with it.
John Frusciante is THE guitarist for RCHP. He was with the band for all their most iconic songs and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why. Think about how Scar Tissue, Otherside, Californication, and Under the Bridge would sound without John’s opening licks. Sure the other guitarists like Navarro and Josh can play just as well but they aren’t as creative as John and it shows. BSSM, Californication, and Otherside are their best albums. Guess who was with RCHP when those albums were written.
And in my opinion, RCHP wouldn’t have achieved the kind of success they’ve had without John. They would’ve been a mediocre alt rock band instead of the decade defining band that they became.
When we worked Security at Woodstock 94, Jordan was running the crew. He told me to find a place and get some rest so I was ready for Chili Peppers. There was a place the crew put a chair and had strung a tarp above since it had been raining. I sat down and put my feet up. A short time later the guy that was running the gig out there came by and said, "It looks like you found a good place to relax." I told him what Jordan told me and he went away.
Well, the truth about Flea childhood is that his mother left his father, not his father who left the family (that's know by hi autobiography - Acid for the children).
I bought that book but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. Flea definitely is a huge influence in why I decided to pick up the bass, and soon as I saw his autobiography promoted, I went out to buy it.
Doctors in America have absolutely contributed to the ''opioid-crisis'', while @ the same time, the Nation was (supposedly) "fighting the war on drugs". Absolutely Ridiculous, doesn't even begin to summarize the entire situation.
Omg I was so scared when this flashed up in my recommendations lol I thought one of them had died! You should’ve titled this video “A Brief History of the Red Hot Chili Peppers” not “Tragic Details of the Red Hot Chili Peppers”. Yes, the band’s history is pretty tragic but it’s old news. They’re doing fine now and John’s rejoined the band! If anything we should be looking forward to the future of the Chilis instead of dwelling on the past 👍
Which Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist was the greatest?
They were all good while they were playing guitarist.
John it's undeniable
John all the way and then josh
Hillel Slovak because he's the one who started it all.
John Frusciante because he got the band to stardom.
Josh Klinghoffer who kept the band in tact after John's departure.
Personal fave is John, but they wouldn't be here without all the guitarists they've had over the decades, Dave Navarro included.
Frusciante, no questions asked.
The darkest secret is there's no Will ferrell in reality, it's Chad smith side job as a comedian
Literally said they look alike😂
Chad looks more like Will Ferrell than Will Ferrell looks like Will Ferrell
😅😅
Lmao
Flea survived and is back a better version of himself.
I'm just glad he's forgiven the past behaviour of his parents it's never too late I wish him all the happiness he deserves.
Flea is fucking amazing, and should be a current role model for recovering addicts!
In another note Donald trump should not forgive the dems for railroading him
The reality is- what choice does one really have? You may forgive, you may not forgive, but you must move forward or die. Simple.
@@betweenthewars4054 The choice is ours yes but if we don't forgive those that have caused us inner turmoil it will really keep us trapped in a cycle of internal pain.

Okay they got all of this from reading the "behind the lyrics" things on Spotify
Lmao. I learned the "Under the Bridge" story like that.
Yeah fully
Fax
Yeah, I've read Anthony Kiedis' book and it's really a great read. Let's be honest here... I imagine they didn't read that before this they did this video.
And they mixed up multiple people as well
Knowing the stories is good. I'm so happy and proud for Flea. What a man
insect
They've all come such a long way considering their backgrounds when they first started out. I admire their dedication to music, but most importantly I love their friendships. I still can't believe that John is BACK!! It's been a dream of mine to see them live in their iconic line-up
These guys are still legends, i saw them in 2011 barcelona IM WITH YOU. Amazing night and ive got goose bumps thinking about it.
I saw them record The Adventures of Raindance Maggie music video that same year I believe. It was in Venice Beach and it was a pivotal moment of my childhood.

Doctors don’t heal anymore, they just create more customers for big pharma, then the streets, then back to big pharma for Suboxone or Methadone.
Blame the American private Healthcare system, for profit pharmaceutical sector, and the politicians. Most doctors are out there saving lives.
well did your step son call the doctor’s office to adjust the dose again?
under the bridge is song that can tell a different story for each one of us at a certain time in their life

Absolutely !❤️🩹
I went through Similar dire straights!
Personally I think John Frusciante is the greatest guitarist in the past 30 years easily
100%
These guys were the best band with staying power for decades. I loved their rock and funk, not so
keen in their popular ballads. When they were on, they embodied the spirit of rock lifestyle.
there is no band out there like the peppers...they are one of a kind!
Nobody else could carry Frusciante's jock in that band. Their big time success and major musical creativity was him. Look at his solo work. Trickfinger is an animal.
Wow. So someone's read Scar Tissue. Well done!
Why be so depressing when JOHN FRICKING FRUSCIANTE IS BACK!!
John fought his way out of hell and lived to tell the tale. He's just amazing and I love him. I know he's "back" but I don't expect it to last very long.
I think Kiedis was super jelous of Mike Patton. Patton is more diverse and honestly more talented. Ultimately though, there never had to be a problem. Anthony caused that problem. They could have just been buddies from the get go, and sold out arenas together. I know RHCP did fine, but the collabs would have been awesome.

Lucky you got to see them in such an amazing era. Lucky me because I'd see them (WITH JOHN) soon. CHEERS.

@@danegonzales5651 Aparently john is coming bacj. I cant find a reason for josh leaving tho
John Frusciante is back again for the 3rd time 16/12/19
Exactly 10 years after his departure... can't wait to see John merge with his guitar again!
And it won't last long
i bet he'll find a stupid reason to leave again
WHO CARES
My son loved them in HS One of his favorite bands. Saw them open for the Stones.
That's awesome. I saw them in 2006. Great show.
Even though Hillel was the major influence, JOHN is the guitar sound of the RHCP!!! Period!!!
Heart goes out to Flea. Overjoyed he overcame.
Frusciante is a genius when it comes to the guitar. But,you cant take anything away from the any of the guys behind the strings that's played with the peppers. Just that Frusciante gave that band a soul when he plays.so glad to hear he's back with them now.
Wow 90K dental bill John sure seems to have had it the hardest.. so glad he has been able to overcome his demons.... they all have difinetly been through a lot... true funk soldiers and inspirations to all musicians and anyone struggling with an a addiction . I super admire Anthony and Flea and Chad for continuing like they have but especially Anthony and Flea.. so many hardships. RHCP forever!!!!
Indeed bro 😑❤
He must have went to a Beverly Hills dentist haha. I’ve known a few junkies get their teeth fixed and it wasn’t $90,000
Well at least John is back again again
Man chad smith was kind of shocking. Never would have thought of him like that. I mean he seems so normal compared to everybody else
We’re not perfect we all have our own flaws
We’re not perfect we all have our own flaws
Great timing for a video like this. Frusciante is back!
Welcome back, welcome home John. But Im gonna miss u Josh! ❤️ Thanks so much for everything.
...maybe we get more Dot Hacker now?
You guys completely skipped over the klinghoffer era and fruciantes return
...and Dave Navarro (talk about a man with a bizarre past)
FRUSCIANTE IS BACK BROOOO!
The part about fleas upbringing is backwards from what I understand. His mother left his father for her guitar teacher.
Frustrente was a bad influence on river phoenix. Really sucks. Too bad River got involved with him.
Frusciante is obviously the best guitarist for RHCP. Maybe Slovak could have been but we will sadly never know that.
Mr. Bungle's California is legendary.
I'm glad to see he came out of it alive!! They are kick a** band, and I hope they are around for along time to come!!!
Also my sister, my only sister, had a surgery in the late 90s. The doctors prescribed her _tons_ of oxycontine and she became completely addicted.
Yeah, and she died year before last. At only 39, with three young children who will never know their mom.
Flea was right.
My bestie did the same with Xanax. It is all lethal. Sorry about your sister.
@@sarahalbers5555 Thank you. Sorry about your friend. It's so senseless and so very hard to cope with. There's a residual anger that lingers. Have to learn to forgive them for doing this to themselves.
i actually met flea a few times, he has the same hair but he seems a lot calmer now
The beautiful thing is that all of this trauma has created even more beautiful music.
Trauma really isn't a beautiful thing. Would'nt it have been better if they hadn't suffered at all?
I love Faith No More too.
4:29 WOW are will Ferrell and smith long lost TWINS?! They look like BROTHERS!
Red hot chilli peppers my brothers I’ll never stop listening to your music I’m still listening 2020

@@filmmaekrstudios According to Wikipedia John gave drugs to River and he convulsed moments later
Wow, this actually taught me a lot I did not know about the chili peppers...
It's nothing short of a miracle that an ex heroin addict likefully was able to use oxycontent for a prescribed period of time and then let it go. A literal miracle.
What an incredible collective story these guys have!
I'm serial dumper, I'm actually on the toilet right now.
I can't picture a world without RHCPs music.
Life is not always what you want it to be.
Fricken Awesome video!
Frusciante killed River

Yes.
Funny thing is, undoubtedly this video got put together before the good news hit the streets
This channel in a nutshell
well said,....nothing new here
The most tragic thing is Frusciante keeps leaving and they just aren’t the same without him.
Keep up the great work
9:18 that’s literally the neighborhood I live I had no clue. Every other house burn down on my street
I also believe, according to his own book that Anthony Keidis had a relationship with an underage girl when he was in his twenties.
Unfortunately It has taken the shine off their music for me knowing that as there is no excuse for that sort of thing even back then.

His mother left the family with her guitar teacher and the dad didn’t leave the family get your facts right
Ohhhhh MAY GOD, what a story.

The title of this segment is misleading. The Chilli Pepper's rock and always will..
Damnn from the thumbnail I thought something happened to flea
It is more tragic that ppl from this channel has to make a living making tragic details abt others.
And we are the tragic viewers
I only came for Red Hot Chili Pepper the Stand from JJBADIU
I never knew Will Ferris was the drummer.
ferrell idiot
Chad smith looks like Will Ferrell
Richard Smith they do a drumming battle . I’m not sure if it’s on jimmy kimmel or jimmy Fallon
Will ferrell looks like chad smith
Flea was a master funk musician in his past life
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication!!!!💀💀
excellent video
Fuck off... You must have pretty low standards...
Jojo fans: *REDA HOTTA CHILI PEPPAAA!!*
Killa queen bites za dusto
Cringe
Jimmy Page is in the video at 4:56
We from California, did you know, we from California, California. That's where we're from.
Flea...you are Loved bro..
Your site should be called “the tragic details”.
I do not like that title. It implies a current tragedy.
Why not "The Tragic History of the RHCP"?
People used to look at the dates before so many viral videos became a thing
Ig
As of this week John is back in the group and Josh is out.
Flea reminds me of needles from back to the future. It better not be the same person...
hahaha.
what a dick...
Chad Smith "noticeable weakness" is that he is Will Farells dobbleganger. Lol
SO TRAGGIC WAINTING FOR DETAILS
I loved Chad Smith's guitar playing at "Get hard", he's so funny
@Mx 325 and that's how you kill the joke
Ayyy John's back
Don’t forget that Frusciante killed River Phoenix.
"For It is written, in the end times John will rise again to Rocketh the Socketh off thy Cocketh's." *Frusciante **6:18*
"It has been fortold that, in the year 2020, John will be light of coin and re-emerge as a Pepper"
I 'll still love them despite all the bad that happened to them 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i wanna hug flea ❤️
