Red Hot Chili Pepper Fever Once I read our assignment for this paper I knew who I would want to write about, The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I have written about them already once for this class in one of our discussion boards, I believe for our favorite song. I have described them as my favorite band and in some ways I believe that that is true but also I believe that I treasure them so much because I have held onto for the longest amount of time as a band that I listen to and enjoy. I have also taken time over the years to discover interesting facts about them and read memoirs and write ups about them as a band and mainly the lead singer Anthony Kedis, as he has lead a fascinating and complicated life. The band formed in 1983 with original…
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of my favorite bands of all time. Have you ever heard a song on the radio before and wanted to hear it again? That’s what happened to me and it turned into a lifetime of listening. When I was young around the age of 8 or 9 I heard some songs on the radio called Dani California and Snow (Hey Oh). When I was young I didn’t know how to find songs unless the person on the radio said the songs name. Both times I had missed the names so I was shit out of luck but…
The signature sound of Red Hot Chili Peppers has generated long-standing radio staples during their long career in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career.

For their latest effort, the band collaborate with…
Regardless of whether the Red Hot Chili Peppers bring hatred or happiness to the listener when one of their songs is played, it is certainly clear that they spread an honest message to the public that other musicians refrain from. Although they have had members come and go throughout the years the Chili Peppers continue to lead the “alternative” in the rock industry starting from their beginnings in Hollywood, California, in 1983. Their form of alternative rock incorporates sounds from funk,…
California has always been the center of high class and glamorous lifestyles. Hollywood has a way of seeping into everyone's minds through one form or another. In the song Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band reveals many truths and observations about the California lifestyle. This song released in 1999, came at a pivotal time in the United States when the country was starting to shift to a more liberal and open-minded mindset. Anthony Kiedis and the rest of the Chili Peppers…

For my work of art, I am choosing to use the song Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I will link the lyrics to the song below if you would like to hear it for yourself. I will be breaking down this song in terms of section, in which there are eight. The first section is; Psychic spies from China Try to steal your mind's elation And little girls from Sweden Dreams of silver screen quotation And if you want these kind of dreams It's Californication This section in my opinion…
rock spread like wildfire. More and more people gave forth their attention towards rock, but like most things, it evolves. After the 60s and through the 70s and 80s, rock developed a new undertone.

into a list, everyone just knew. There were things you should do and things you shouldn’t do. And I knew, knew that its was one of those things you shouldn’t do. No one had to tell me, I just knew and because of that I kept it hidden. I remember walking past Hot Topic at the mall and gazing longingly at the countless band tees of all my favorites, the faces of Cobain, Urie, Gaskarth, etc., asking me to buy their merchandise. But I would just turn away and tell myself it’s not for me as I walk to…
