Red Hot Chili Peppers are a funk rock band that is based in Hollywood, California and was formed in 1983, near Grand Rapids, Michigan. Since 1998, the band has consisted of founding members Anthony Kiedis (vocals) and Michael “Flea” Balzary (bass) along with longtime members John Frusciante (guitar) and Chad Smith (drums).
The band initially formed for a once-off support act for a friends band, calling themselves Tony Flow And The Miraculously Majestic Masters Of Mayhem. Upon renaming themselves Red Hot Chili Peppers, they played a handful of small club venues in Los Angeles in 1983, before they were signed to EMI Records.

The Chili Peppers’ original guitarist, Slovak, was replaced in 1984 by Jack Sherman, while Slovak and Irons recorded music with their band at the time, What Is This? Upon Slovak’s return, Sherman was fired from the band.
Following Slovak’s death of a heroin overdose, a young John Frusciante took over as guitarist in 1988. Frusciante, however, quit the band in 1992 due in part to his sadness at the band becoming so successful in such a short time; complex personal issues, involving an addiction to heroin, were also a factor.
