Red Hot Chili Peppers su američka rock grupa iz Los Angelesa. Sadašnji članovi grupe su Anthony Kiedis (vokali), Flea (bas-gitara), Chad Smith (bubnjevi) i John Frusciante (gitara). Nominirani su za 16 Grammy-a, a dobili su ih 6. Najveći uspjeh grupa je postigla nakon albuma Californication. Jedna su od grupa najprepoznatljivijeg zvuka, koja objedinjuje raznovrsne glazbene stilove: funk, rock, punk rock i psihodeliju.

Osnovana je 1983. u Los Angelesu, od tada je mijenjala nekoliko postava, a od samog početka članovi grupe su pjevač Anthony Kiedis i Michael "Flea" Balzary. U dopuni njima dvojici, na gitari je bio Hillel Slovak, a na bubnju Jack Irons. Međutim, Slovak je umro od predoziranja heroinom 1988, što je uzokovalo Ironsov odlazak. Ironsa je ubrzo zamjenio D.H.Peligro, bivši Dead Kennedys bubnjar, prije no što su našli stalnu zamjenu Chada Smitha, dok je Slovaka zamjenio John Frusciante. Ta postava je snimila njihov četvrti i peti album, Mother's Milk 1989. godine i Blood Sugar Sex Magik 1991. godine. Blood Sugar je bio presudan uspjeh, te se prodao u više od 12 milijuna primjeraka. Međutim, Frusciante se nije mogao nositi s pritiskom uspjeha, te je iznenada napustio sastav 1992. godine. Kiedis, Flea i Smith su angažirali Davea Navarra iz Jane's Addictiona za njihov idući album, One Hot Minute. Na kraju nije uspio parirati presudnom uspjehu Blood Sugara, prodao se u nešto manje od 6 milijuna primjeraka. Poslje toga Navarro je otpušten zbog kreativnih razlika. Frusciante, dok je bio odsutan, postao je ovisnik i skoro je umro. Godine 1998. izašao je iz komune, i na Fleajev zahtjev, vratio se u sastav. Godine 1999. su u studiju snimili Californication, koji se prodao u 15 milijuna primjeraka, te postao njihov najuspješniji album do danas. Popraćen je tri godine kasnije s By The Way, koji je nastavio njihov uspjeh. Godine 2006. izdali su dvostruki album Stadium Arcadium. Rolling Stone magazin ga je izabrao za drugi najbolji album godine, te je nominiran za "Album of the year" Grammy 2007.
Osnutak sastava

Sastav Red Hot Chili Peppers (u originalu Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem) osnovala je Fairfax Srednja škola. Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak, Jack Irons i Michael "Flea" Balzary su početni četverac. Njih četvero nikad nisu namjeravali biti dio punk scene Los Angelesa, jer je to trebao biti jedini koncert koji će oni odraditi skupa. Taj "jedini" koncert se dogodio 1983. u Rhytam lounge, i to pred jedva 30 ljudi.

Kiedis je napisao jednu pjesmu za tu prigodu, a izveli su je tako da je sastav improvizirao dok Kiedis repa pjesmu pod imenom "Out in L.A". Po završetku showa, promotori su bili tako oduševljeni te su pitali sastav da se vrate idući tjedan. Zbog tog neočekivanog uspjeha sastav je promijenio ime u Red Hot Chili Peppers, a zatim su svirali u još nekoliko navrata po raznim klubovima u L.A.-u. Šest pjesama s tih početnih koncerta je snimljeno na njihov prvi demoalbum.

Nekoliko mjeseci poslje sastav je potpisao za diskografsku kuću EMI. Međutim, Slovak i Irons su Red Hot Chili Peppers smatrali kao nešto "usputno", te su otišli i vratili se svojim prioritetima. Umjesto raspuštanja sastava, Kiedis i Flea su odlučili organizirati audiciju. Pridružili su im se Cliff Martinez i Jack Sherman.

Unajmili su Gang of four gitarista Andyja Gilla da im producira prvi album. Unatoč njihovom negodovanju, Gill ih je prisilio da sviraju čišći, krhiji i više prijateljski radio zvuk. Izdali su album The Red Hot Chili Peppers 10. kolovoza 1984., koji je na kraju ispao komercijalna pljuska. U početku se prodao u oko 250,000 primjeraka,i zaradio im malu marketinšku prepoznatljivost. Turneja je prošla malo bolje, ali je napetost između Kiedisa i Shermana komplicirala tranzicije između koncerta i njihovog društvenog života. Nedugo zatim je Sherman dobio otkaz, a Slovak se vratio.
