On their background, a 36-year-old guitarist Josh Klinghoffer looks like a real Junc. But despite the solid age, these old people make their shows around the world, with the same enthusias as 30 years ago.
1. School years wonderful
The yard is 1973. In California, sunny and calmly. Of the open windows, the speech of Nixon's president on TV is heard, and from bright red, lazily passing "Chevrolet Impala" to the whole street Barry White sings his sensational single " Walkin 'In The Rain With The One You Love“.
On the school yard fight. Several boys enthusiastically mutilated each other, with varying success. There is a silent crowd around them, with pleasure observing the fight. Passing past the high guinea sees that the battle is unequal: several teenagers are cautious on one - thin, with a short haircut and chain look.
Now it is now unknown that the guy prompted passing past the boy to that fight and stand up for his peer. When offenders fled and only two were left on the battlefield, the high flatten the bloody saliva and extended his hand with a knuckle with the bones of the second: "- Anthony. Slepty - the second battered in the skirmis - felt the sweaty bump on his head and answered a handshake: "Michael".
So began the joint friendly path of future music stars Anthony Kiddis and Michael "Fli" Balzari.
From left to right: Eline Ehannes, Jack Iron, Flea, Hillel Slovak 
When Anthony and Michael became friends, Michael was already playing in music group Anthym. In the group, besides him, there were three more participants - Hillel Slovak (guitar), Jack Irons (drums) and Elin Ehannes (who later left the music). The team performances were rare, since all participants were minors, and no one wanted to deal with them.
Anthony Kiddis began to go to the speeches of his friend and made friends with the rest of the anthym. After some time, he already read his poems, and he had a lot, opening every speech by Anthym.
Group in his "gold" composition 
The group more or less successfully performed, while on one fine day Michael Balzari, who had already pseudonym "Flea" (flea), did not declare his departure to another group called FEAR. The remaining team members changed the name of Anthym on What Is This? And they tried to continue creative activities.
That year everything went to the fact that life spreads friends in different teams. Someone will start with music, someone will last some time in litless groupBut the world will never hear Red Hot Chili Peppers songs.
2. Red hot sharp peppers
In 1983, a phone call rang in Anthony Kiddis's apartment. Having removed the phone, Anthony heard the voice of his friend, who in the old memory suggested a performance at the Rhythm Lounge Club. After that, Anthony, Flemia, Hillel and Jack again united in a single team, a week before the upcoming concert.
Seven days before the speech, the fourth of musicians had no songs, no name. Nobody wanted to return to the old anthym; Anthony had several poems in stock, and Fleas had a couple of interesting funk chords on the bass guitar.
Nevertheless, they went to the scene and performed a freshly propheted composition Out in La, which did not even really rehearse. It turned out so cool and ignore that hearing about the newly minted group Tony Flow. and the Miraculously Majestic Masters Of Mayhem (It is the name of the team that came up with Four Friends to himself) reached the managers of a major recording company EMI.
Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem's own person 
6 months after the speech at the Rhythm Lounge club, Anthony, Flea, Hillel and Jack sign a contract with EMI music label to release 8 albums. After that, the musicians rename the group in Red Hot Chili Peppers and begin active touring activities, noteworthy and shocking the audience.
It was at that time a period of time the musicians performed a cover version of the song Jimmy Hendrix Fire naked, put on long socks for causals. In the Strip Club Kit Kat Musicians played surrounded nude girls. And in the interruptions between concerts, they were happy to participate in sexual proceedings and various scandals.
Archival record of the very speech with socks
At some point, two participants of the team, Hillel and Jack had to make a choice: they still consisted in the group What is this?, Who had a contract with another musical label. The guys made their choice and left Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Their places were taken by Jack Sherman (guitar) and Cliff Martinez (drums). In such a composition, the musicians started writing their debut album under the leadership of Andy Gill, former participant Gang of Four Group.
The relations of "peppers" with their producer were not charged. Because of the various views on the sound and style of the Anthony group Kidis constantly quarreled with Andy Gill. Once the musicians even sent a box from under pizza filled with excrement. As a result - The Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on August 10, 1984, did not like even the participants of the team, and turned out to be completely failed in a commercial plan.
Flea, Jack Sherman and Anthony Kidis 
After the release of the first record from the group, Jack Sherman leaves, and Hillel Slovak again becomes the guitarist. The What Is This?, Because of which he left the "peppers," turned out to be a fault project, and the musician returned to his friends to try together to correct the situation with the second album.
To record the second album, the musicians called George Clinton (Producer Funkadelic and Parliament), which found a common language with the group. It is under his leadership in the music of RHCP, funky accents and punk arrangements appeared. The result of collaboration was the album released in August 1985 "Freaky Styley, which the group was satisfied.
At that time, all the participants of the Red Hot Chili Peppers were tight on drugs, and it affected the music and texts of all songs from the second album. Having completed the work on the record, the group went to its most rebel tour, full heroin, forgotten texts, guitar lairs and other mandatory satellites drug addiction.
RHCP of the sample of 1986. Rather, punk than funk
In the spring of 1986, the group begins work on the next album. The musicians are still tightly sitting on drugs, and the producer of the third album, Keith Leven, also turns out to be a heroin addict. This was silent year - Part of the money for working on a new plate was spent by producer and guitarist for drugs. Against the background of such disgrace, the group leaves the drummaker Cliff Martinez, and Jack Irons returns to his place.
Anthony Kidis appeared in the studio when the recording of the songs was in full swing; He was rehabilitated in the clinic and returned to colleagues pure from drugs and full strength and energy. Instead of useless China Leeva, Michael Bainhorn becomes producer and in September 1987, the third plate The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is released, in which the punk rock triumphs over the funk.
Bunctory texts, aggressive music
It was the first RHCP album, which took the 143rd line Billboard Top 150 Albums. Such a success spoke the musicians head - Kidis again contacted drugs, a couple with a guitarist Slovak, during a tour in support THE UPLIFT MOFO PARTY PLAN. The venue of the final finale did not make himself wait - shortly after the end of the tour, in the summer of 1988, the Guitarist RHCP Hillel Slovak died from an overdose of heroin.
It was a blow to all - the group took a creative vacation. Anthony Kidis leaves a lost village in Mexico, hiding there from everyone, and including from his grief. The drummer Jack Iron leaves the group, which, according to him, "kills the best friends." Fleas engaged in third parties musical projects. It seems that 1988 is the last for Red Hot Chili Peppers.

While listening to Anthony and Fleas were amazed by the game of John, which seemed to be exact copy The deceased Slovak in his guitar game style. Without waiting for the end, friends took Fruist with them and washed away from listening. So, John turned out to be a new Guitarist Red Hot Chili Peppers.
