In all honesty it's absolutely crazy to think about how close Frusciante came to death and in my opinion Flea's consistent contact after his first departure from the band kept a light at the end of the tunnel going and thank god Flea is the person he is and being that genuine of a person to not turn your back on someone who considers you a big brother even when they hit beyond the rock bottom that John did is a testament to Flea's love for his brothers and his love for life.
You're right its absolutely insane. It's one of the greatest redemption stories in all of music. Sometimes the song Scar Tissue gets me emotional because its just such a great, beautiful song and I'm sure John's insane scars on his arms are what inspired some of the lyrics. John is such a beautiful human being I'm so glad he made it through all of that.
They are my ex's favorite band and he showed me the full discography of RHCP. Even though we broke up and should have went together to their concert in Budapest this June, I'm thankful for him showing me now one of my favorite bends. This was my first solo trip, first time in Budapest and first solo concert and I will remember it forever! All I can say, I cried like a baby and had a great time!
Slovak's impact on not just Kiedis and Flea but Frusciante especially lives on to this very day and Slovak is one of the most uniquely versatile guitarists. It's really sad to think what could have been but I believe this is a very great example of everything happens for a reason.
I saw John play his bizarre solo material at the Viper Room at the depth of his addiction. His teeth were black and rotting, and some guy in the tiny audience of about 50 started berating him for his life decisions. It was a rough night. I later had the fortunate experience of seeing them play at the tiny Huntridge Theatre in Vegas, when John had rejoined, and they were just jamming and getting reacquainted.
@@Celeste_2611 Wow, you have it? If I remember correctly, the guy said like "you could have been the next Jimmy Page..." Oh, and someone then told the guy to "go back to Silverlake". Is that right? (it was so long ago).

That one at the viper I’m pretty sure the asshole berating him says something on the lines of you could have been like jimmy page and you lost your touch. And then he asks the crowd weather he should continue playing or leave or if you want that guy to go to tell him to fuck off , so the crowd yell fuck off to the guy.

This really reminds me of the time I made a presentation on in 10th grade. It was about the Chili Peppers. I was scared to give the speech and wrote the speech to be 2 minutes long. I ended up getting into it and the speech ended up being 20 minutes long. I had to be cut off by the teacher because I wasn’t going to stop if she didn’t. Loved this video man!!
Dude this is sooo good!!! I almost didn’t click on the video bc I saw the length as 40+ min. and figured it was one of those typical TV produced documentary that we’ve all seen a hundred times. This is exactly what I want when it comes content
I always thought red hot chili peppers were exactly the opposite from most of the bands Started as drug addicted and less successful and then improving with time It makes me happy to see them as an example of becoming better and healthier with time
It's so sad to think of the rough childhoods these guys had. You can see clearly the routes of their addictions. I love this band, I hate that they had to suffer, but man am I grateful for the music, however it came about
Katt, you need to be thankful for their pain, for their pain has become your pleasure. Not to say you are a sadomasochist or indulge in schadenfreude, but you see, great art is born from great pain. Show me a great artist who is not in a great deal of emotional pain, and I will show you either a thief or a liar. So be happy these musicians whom you admire so are constantly on the brink of suicide. This is where the sweet art comes from.

Its funny though. I met Antony on a little Island in Thailand while on a scuba diving trip. Never even knew who he was but the scuba guy knew. He was quiet but we sat together on the boat and I asked him where he was from. He said LA and that he was in a band. Never mentioned the name. It was a authentic exchange up until his huge blonde German lady came over and ended the vibe.
It is absolutely awesome and astounding RHCP wasn’t melted in a dirt-stained spoon and shot into oblivion! With all the conflicts, drug abuse, deaths surrounding the band it’s a miracle they pulled through. This perseverance alone is worth more than all awards they may have accumulated.
@@ciaraskeleton Thanks! I just went to an RHCP concert this summer … GRAND! With John back in the fold it’s just pure symbiosis. AND as usual, how can u tell that a rock band is truly real? A: They sound even better live than on the record album!
@@YouGuysAreAmazing That's amazing! I can't afford to see them but I'm living vicariously through every other fan! John seems happy and the band sounds electric !
@@ciaraskeleton Sorry to hear that … had I known, I would’ve invited you. The tix weren’t that bad, $110 but my uncle invited me so I just paid 4 beer.

Their extra service charges are sometimes unfounded and they monopolize venues.
Thanks for putting this together. I went to their show last night at Levi’s and literally rocked out to each song. Made we want to be a part of their band so badly 😂
Yes, that loss was really sad. Just finished reading "Acid for the Children" last night actually, and reading Flea's tribute to him and all the memories he shared were really moving =[ Re-reading "Scar Tissue" now in between everything, want to make a clearer picture of some of the details from the first one for part 2. I was still pretty brand new to all this, and wasn't quite AS thorough with my research back then.
I knew there was a dark history to this band, but this shows just how bad all those drugs were to them and people they knew well. The dark terrible stories really cemented who they are, what their material is made from. And it’s evident in their lyrics. But what they have overcome is nothing short of stunning. It’s also interesting to see how things have changed in 4 years. A year after this John officially rejoined, then the pandemic tore through the world, and by 2022 the Red Hots are bigger than ever with two albums and selling out large stadiums.
Yes, that was so great to see. Even if doing this video was only a drop in the ocean of influence that got them back together, I'm really proud and happy for them. I wouldn't even say I'm a "fan", they're just part of the playlist of my childhood, and there's feelings of nostalgia when I hear certain songs, and seemed like a good place to start this series with what I knew of their history. Always good to see a happy ending, people cleaning themselves up and getting back to doing what they love, and they're just cranking out the new albums. Catching up on lost time I suppose =]
Hi. Anthony kiedis is my cousin (my moms first cousin) thank you for putting this together. Anthony's mom is a tough love lady. I can completely imagine her talking to tony on the phone convincing him to get in to rehab. Love what these guys did. One of the most interesting bands of all time. Weird punk, funk, antisocial druggies that turned into the biggest pop rock band of all time. Like wtf
This is so sad and so tragic to see the ultimate demise of what started off as the greatest band in the world in my opinion. When this band first started it literally took me away from r&b and what was the beginning of rap and open my ears up to a whole new genre of music and I've never looked back. I'm literally cried just watching this.
These boys have been my obsession in the music part of my life for a good 3 or so years now, and I always love to hear about them. Knew some stuff, but also learned some stuff! Great job on the doc, man! Loved it!
Crazy how Anthony and flea were the only ones who stayed strong with the band from beginning to end even though they were both addicts too (although it seems flea was never bad) they are definitely the strongest ones out of everyone but Anthony being the worst addict and still sticking with the band makes him the strongest one of them all.
John Frusciante was definitely the worst addict. Its unbelievable that he managed to pull through. It's one of the greatest redemption stories in all of music.
Flea wasn’t an addict. He may have used but not at the level of the others. This JK dude obviously doesn’t know shit about addiction to say the things he did
Those first two albums with George Clinton’s influence and help were great! Then the “alternative” scene hit, all the trendy jocks got into “underground” music and they have been bland ever since. Slovak was the best guitarist. Now Keidis looks like the Tiger King with that YMCA mustache. Flea was awesome in “Suburbia” the original. RHCP is more like Luke warm wet blankets.
@@cezzeboi2841 to be honest, only Flea knows that. Some people can really hide it for a while. He may have just had more control for some reason. Weird how those things work.
Thank you. That was a great trip for me. Been a fan of the boys since spring 1987 and the Uplift album after first seeing/hearing/reading if of it in a Thrasher Mag as a 12 year old! Much love!
Californication is one of the only albums where every song is epic. You don’t have to skip any songs. You can just let that album play on repeat over & over again 🌶️
Same here. I first became aware of the RHCP when I saw the video for Higher Ground at my aunt and uncle's house. A few days later, a friend from my neighborhood had a cassette of Mother's Milk that he didn't like, so he offered to trade me for one of my cassettes (Guns N Roses, if I remember correctly). I was instantly hooked.
This trendsgender thing is getting out of hand, not only are people doing it to be trendy like people did with bisexuality when I was in highschool, but then all of a sudden EVERYONE from the beginning of time is also a trans? It's like when you find out a conspiracy theory, and then actively apply it to every situation you hear about...even if it has zero merit.
tezzmosis how about the 10 year old boy dressed like a girl collecting money in his underwear on stage at a gay BAR... Seems that video can go viral and is.. Highly illegal but apparently acceptable with the herds of sheep/utube wtf
I think either you or someone else posted this on the chili peppers subreddit several months ago. I've watched a ton of RHCP docs and enjoy the different details covered in each video. I edit AV myself and this is clearly well put together content, thanks for making this.
That Kurt & Courtney scene "we all know about your little problem" and "needles, needles, keep 'em coming" was SO telling. She was trying to reinforce the reputation of him as an addict...make people THINK he was worse than he was. She had been planning that for a long time.
About John Frusciante's heavy drug period; "It was a period of rebirth, where I found myself and cleared my mind." I think it was more like a period where he LOST his himself, and cleared his mind as a result. Sometimes you need to go deep to find peace within.
@kk Yeah that makes sense you definitely have a real understanding..Dude literally took someone's quote and reworded it becuase he felt it happened different even though John was the one who lived through it 🤔🤷
What happened at Woodstock was such a clusterfuck. It pissed me and my friends off so bad. We drove from Washington state to attend and had our time almost ruined. Still it was fun, tar just bummed us out. Still one of my favorite bands of all time.
This is really a nice documentary. Great band, loved them as a kid, still like them. RHCP are for LA in the 80s and 90s what the Doors were for LA in the 60s. Something different, something that shocked you at first and made you think. And any amazing amount of classics.
That's right we make friends with them by not feeding and asking them to join us Type coywolves in my channel search to see my buddies, they hunt, eat, mate and play in front of me, follow me in bush and I almost pet the female last month, also friends with great horned owl couple too and they have done the same as the coywolves, except roll over and show me bellies but she flies about five feet above my head some nights Much Love and God Bless
I thought this was going to be some kind of conspiracy video. Turned out to be a solid mainstream historical documentary. Nice job. I guess the "Dark" is all the drugs.
@@tezzmosis Well done video, sir! I was hoping you would at least touch on some of the occult aspects, as it seems to be a big part of the "dark history"of the band...
That video was awesome thank you so much I am so much more in tune with where they’re at with her going and what you’re doing keep making great videos thank you
It’s kinda hypocritical how Anthony and Flea instantly fire their musical partners whenever they have drug problems. When they themselves were even bigger addicts.
It's not hypocritical. When you're trying to stay sober you shouldn't be around people who are users. They were doing it for self preservation. It wasn't very successful, but that how it goes with being a junky.
Raul Ortiz Who are u talking about?? Slovak died of an overdose while still in the band, and frusciante left the band on his own accord, he was never fired.
Bob have you read Scar Tissue??? Near OHM era Dave Navarro was fried because he started using. By the time that happened Anthony had been using for awhile. If that’s not hypocritical I don’t know what is. I love the band. But by know means are they gods.
I'm from Hong Kong I used to be a skateboard Asian chick, I know every song by the Pepoers, Flea is my favorite bassist. I also love Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. Janes addicttion, Slayer. I'm such a rock chick. Cheers from Hong Kong

Stewie: Put a shirt on. You're 50.

It's like when you find out a conspiracy theory, and then actively apply it to every situation you hear about...even if it has zero merit.
You forgot to add.....SATANIST! Blind Mfker!
tezzmosis how about the 10 year old boy dressed like a girl collecting money in his underwear on stage at a gay BAR... Seems that video can go viral and is.. Highly illegal but apparently acceptable with the herds of sheep/utube wtf
Cowbell...................and Aleister Crowley books, yo.
Fuck you guys
Why do you care?
Thank You! That was awesome 👏🏽
I think either you or someone else posted this on the chili peppers subreddit several months ago. I've watched a ton of RHCP docs and enjoy the different details covered in each video. I edit AV myself and this is clearly well put together content, thanks for making this.
Thanks!
What a great documentary, I will watch it over and over again. Thank you for your work
Thank you for covering these topics. It is very important work. You are appreciated. New subscriber.
Thank you Gary! ✌️🖖
I just got home from their Nashville show. To me it was incredible
Great video on a great band. Watching at 2am and only going to bed when it's finished. Great music too.
Must have been a rockin' sleep after 🤘 thanks for the great feedback !
Hillel Sovlak thaught flea the bass not Jack irons
Wat?
It’s in fleas book too
Hillel bought flea the bass instead of Jack
@@erinhand 😂👍
Naw homie....Try again.
Good video man ....do one on Jane's Addiction lol
Hmm, would be a suitable link, with Dave Navarro cross over. I have like 4 videos on the go at the moment though, will add it to the list! ✌️🖖
@@tezzmosis indeed .Jane's always was like their sister band to me .keep it up I'll sub you
Yesss deffitly do janes addiction
The book “scar Tissue” by Anthony is a great read about his life. I highly recommend it!
That Kurt & Courtney scene "we all know about your little problem" and "needles, needles, keep 'em coming" was SO telling.
She was trying to reinforce the reputation of him as an addict...make people THINK he was worse than he was. She had been planning that for a long time.
She was and is poison. So sad. Poor Kurt.
@@witchypoorose5196 She would have said the same thing back to Kurt . i bet she was addicted as well. Substance abuse exists in all walks of life.
@@trafficjon400 truth.
Great job on th documentary, good shit.... thank you!!!
I have been a fan for my whole life and I have been to so many shows of theirs that were always STELLAR!
They have come a long long way 😍❤👏 their music gets me hooked ❤❤ wonderful docu bro!!
LOVE ME an unauthorized documentary! Best kind
About John Frusciante's heavy drug period; "It was a period of rebirth, where I found myself and cleared my mind." I think it was more like a period where he LOST his himself, and cleared his mind as a result. Sometimes you need to go deep to find peace within.
whats not lost cant be found... you have to loose yourself to find yourself. you missed his point
@kk Yeah that makes sense you definitely have a real understanding..Dude literally took someone's quote and reworded it becuase he felt it happened different even though John was the one who lived through it 🤔🤷
You don't throw your life away
Going inside
Awesome man. Thank you for this
Thank you so much for such an amazing research and video!! Really appreciate it ❤️
Glad you liked it =]
Really nice work dude! This is the second video of yours I've watch. Glad I found you do to TH-cam recommends. Keep up the good work!
TFW TH-cam does something right LOL. Thanks man, happy to have yah! ✌️🖖
Good post. You're gonna spend the next couple of decades jammed up making videos of just the band's on the Geffen mantle!
Yeah, from some of the comments I'm gathering they have quite the reputation.
very well done!
Thanks! ✌️🙂
@@tezzmosis happy new year!!
To you as well!
Anthony's autobiography is amazing. If you haven't read it you must.
RIGHT ON TIME! So cool to see you making band documentaries. Would love to see what other bands you like man. Chili Peppers. Forever.
Navarro was so freaking good though! His tone & phrasing on that album are awesome!
@Chef Bill hell yeah. Some people can handle drugs - but they aren't for everyone... :-)
I absolutely love OHM.
I like Navarro. My favorite pepper.
Warped is a f..king fantastic song!!
WOW that footage at 38:37. I was at that show. February 12, 2017 in Philadelphia.
Nice work homie. Thanks for sharing.
I didnt know that much about rhcp but now am certain that John F motha was the key to the band's ascent
What happened at Woodstock was such a clusterfuck. It pissed me and my friends off so bad. We drove from Washington state to attend and had our time almost ruined. Still it was fun, tar just bummed us out. Still one of my favorite bands of all time.
They still put on a absolute killer show in 99
This is really a nice documentary. Great band, loved them as a kid, still like them. RHCP are for LA in the 80s and 90s what the Doors were for LA in the 60s. Something different, something that shocked you at first and made you think. And any amazing amount of classics.
absolutely fascinating documentary, thank you very much !
Thanks for watching ✌️🙂
@@tezzmosis great work dude, keep it up !
John was like a magical spark the band needed. And Ruben really drove it home for them
This is a great documentary! I like your style.
Love your content! Just discovered you and now i’m binge watching 😊
Thank you! Glad to have yah! More content in the making, stay tuned =]
another excellent work! Thank you!
This is great! Thank you for making this!
Thank you for watching!
True Men Don’t Kill Coyotes!!
That's right we make friends with them by not feeding and asking them to join us
Type coywolves in my channel search to see my buddies, they hunt, eat, mate and play in front of me, follow me in bush and I almost pet the female last month, also friends with great horned owl couple too and they have done the same as the coywolves, except roll over and show me bellies but she flies about five feet above my head some nights
Much Love and God Bless
Crystal Richeson did I judge?
i remember as a kid growing up in Hollywood we had a couple little dogs and cats eaten alive by coyotes. just a part of life growing up there
@@bconni2 yep Ate my cats those horrible Cy's
Ho-Hollywood hills
they became sooooo hot after Will Ferrell joined the band. just the best drummer ever!
WE DONT DO THAT HERE!!! (Wakanda Accent)
Hahahahahahahaaaa!
Lolol. They do look shockingly similar don't they.
lol
Not to mention will bought a lot more cowbell to their music which was a real turning point.
I thought this was going to be some kind of conspiracy video. Turned out to be a solid mainstream historical documentary. Nice job. I guess the "Dark" is all the drugs.
Drugs and deaths, just real life dark stuff. Thanks for the comment! ✌️🖖
He's definitely a pro documentary maker in the making. Nothing amateur about that. It baffles me why 60 people would thumb-down.
@@tezzmosis Well done video, sir! I was hoping you would at least touch on some of the occult aspects, as it seems to be a big part of the "dark history"of the band...
Species Unknown * Yeah, like blood sugar sex magic ! Hello, MCfly !
Thanks for letting me know, do T have to waste my time
That video was awesome thank you so much I am so much more in tune with where they’re at with her going and what you’re doing keep making great videos thank you
It's interesting at around 18.30 when Chad is playing a tune on his piano it is an intro to a KISS song Rock Bottom...Awesome
And now they are back on top with John, and making one if their best albums yet, life is good for the peppers.
Worst chili album by a country mile. Pure cheese
A metal drummer, a punk guitarist, a jazz bass player & a rap/funk singers.
LA is more than I can handle.
4 reallll
i'm born and raised. and yeah, it's a crazy place. but it builds a lot of character.
I saw them in the early 2000s -
They played every song that I wanted to hear!
Absolutely Amazing Awesomeness!!!
Awesome job with video
Thanks!
It’s kinda hypocritical how Anthony and Flea instantly fire their musical partners whenever they have drug problems. When they themselves were even bigger addicts.
It's not hypocritical. When you're trying to stay sober you shouldn't be around people who are users. They were doing it for self preservation. It wasn't very successful, but that how it goes with being a junky.
Lord is without a doubt had some major addiction issues but Flea cleaned up his act when his eldest daughter was born, sometime in his mid 20s.
Raul Ortiz Who are u talking about?? Slovak died of an overdose while still in the band, and frusciante left the band on his own accord, he was never fired.
Bob have you read Scar Tissue??? Near OHM era Dave Navarro was fried because he started using. By the time that happened Anthony had been using for awhile. If that’s not hypocritical I don’t know what is. I love the band. But by know means are they gods.
@@JerryRiceBall you know there were a lot more past members than Hillel and John
Chad is playing Kiss's Rock Bottom on the piano!
elliot johnson I thought that was it ! I want thinking that then read your comment!
Chad is my drum hero .I would looooovvve thank w him .I don't drink .
but I'd drink w Chad lol
aPPROPRIATE AS KISS HIT ROCKBOTTOM
I love all your videos. You are very intelligent and extremely articulate.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, so interesting & informative... Thank you! 🌶🌶🌶🌶💖💖💖💖
Glad you enjoyed it! =D
I just realized - if Red Hot Chili Peppers had a podcast, it would probably be one of the top podcasts.
I'm from Hong Kong I used to be a skateboard Asian chick, I know every song by the Pepoers, Flea is my favorite bassist. I also love Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. Janes addicttion, Slayer. I'm such a rock chick. Cheers from Hong Kong
It's neat to see how culture can travel across oceans and nations! Thank you for watching, happy to have such a diverse audience! =D
Excellent research and well put together, subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your work x
Yeah, I just found this channel &subscribed too because these docus are fantastic!
John's apartment looks like Kurt Cobain's diary threw up on it.
his apartment looks like every other junkie's i've come across.
I’ve been a fan of RHCP since 9/ 10 years old .. I’m 26 now . I hope to see them in concert one day
Very nice documentary. I really love this bend!
Your voice is amazing- that young voice, but totally relevant information. I could listen to you do BBC World News, or a public service announcement. Awesome videos!!!
Good well resurched documentary, nice work Tezz, the chillys never flouted my boat but respect on the doc anyways, learnt lots, now only if you could do such amazing documentarys on bands I'm obsessed with like the bad luck Liverpool band shack or aphex twin 😎
Thanks Glyn! ✌️🖖
Amazing docu for an amazing musical force. I'll never get tired of RHCP's music. Never 🍻🍻
thank you, I really enjoy the video, I love this band.
Thanks for watching! =]
Good shit man!
Thank you Rusty! =D
Long time rhcp fan, you have done your homework
Well Josh Klinghoffer released N3 with his other band Dot Hacker (which he is lead vocals/piano/synths/guitars) back in January of 2017 and he's recently announced that he's working on a solo album with the help of Jack Irons! Very excited for both RHCP 12 and Josh's solo album
Thank you for not saying Kurt killed himself
