By
The Way
 Red
Hot Chili Peppers' 8th and most awaited album. No Funky stuff.
Definitely No. Said Flea and Anthony. Despite the controversy,
the album already achieved several Platinum awards in several
Countries, just in several weeks after it's release date. Another
BRiliant work of the Chili Peppers. The album itself is Ant Kiedis'
emotional exploration. John Frusciante was the man of the album.
Most of the tracks in this album was born from his magnificent
ideas.
Was also the first single of the album. The Video Clip, directed
by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, was featuring a crazy cab-driver
and also a super hardcore fan of the RHCP, kidnaping Anthony Kiedis.
Until Flea and John come to the rescue.

Seventh Album of The RHCP, Released back in June 1999. Was also
a comeback album for John Frusciante. After replaced by Dave Navarro
for One Hot Minute Album in 1995-1996. This Album Have Received
so many Platinum from many Countries in the world. Sold over 13
Million copies. Californication is now comes with a smarter way
of music, not that Heavy Metal sound like what you've heard in
One Hot Minute. But they surprised the world again with this album.
Celebrity
Death Match

show for celebrities, with opposite speciality (well sometime,
in the same profession), fight together, until someone dies in
a creepy way. Or, to be more fun, both celebrity die. The celebrity

animation, everything seems real! Flea was once appeared
on this show. He's fighting against Kenny G (famous sax player).

---
' Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers were one of the main British
pub rock groups of the early '70s, playing a laid-back yet rocking
mixture of rock & roll, R&B, country, and folk. The band
has its origins in a folk-rock duo formed by ex-Junior's Blues
Band members Martin Stone (vocals, guitar, mandolin) and Phil
"Snakefinger" Lithman (vocals, guitar, piano, lap steel,
fiddle). Lithman moved to San Francisco in the late '60s, leaving
Stone to play with Savoy Brown and Mighty Baby. The duo reunited
in the early '70s, recording Kings of Robot Rhythm with vocalist
Jo-Ann Kelly and various members of Brinsley Schwarz. Kings was
released in 1972; that same year, the duo expanded to a band,
adding Paul "Dice Man" Bailey (guitar, banjo, saxophone),
Paul Riley (bass), and drummer Pete Thomas. During the next two
years, Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers became a popular live
act in Britain. The full band released Bongos Over Balham in 1974,
yet the record sold poorly and the band split in February 1975.
Thomas became the drummer for Elvis Costello's backing band, the
Attractions, Riley played with Graham Parker, Bailey formed Bontemps
Roulez, and Stone played with the Pink Fairies before quitting
the music business. Lithman moved back to San Francisco where
he began to work with his former associates, the Residents, under
the name Snakefinger. ' — Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All
