How can a band that started as a joke become one of music's most unstoppable forces? These sonic soulmates have endured death, additions, an unstable line-up and have still managed to produce some of the most vital rock 'n' roll of the past three decades.
Despite an epic reputation for exhibitionism, drug taking and drunkenness, through it all the Chili Peppers have continued to produce records that shock, challenge and intrigue their fans. Jeff Apter tells the complete Red Hot Chili Peppers story, from their first meeting at a Los Angeles high school to the creation of such career-defining albums as BloodSugarSexMagik, Californication, and By The Way.
Jeff Apter is former Music Editor of the Australian Rolling Stone. He has been writing about music for the past 15 years. He is the author of Tomorrow Never Knows: The Silverchair Story.
