![]() Why? They are true humans and I think they’re fucking cool. ![]() Flea! And Anthony Kiedis’ rhymes/lyrics are a constant nomenclature skit-skat ode to the state of California. C’mon, drummer, Chad Smith is Will Farrell! There’s a guy in the band whose name is Flea. And hey, I get it, they catch a lot of flack for dancing around shirtless on-stage and flashing their mid-90’s tribal tats. Seventeen years later, now married and an adult (?), and having listened to every single RCHP album ever put out at least a handful a times (if not more), I’m fully a massive Chili Peppers fan, tried and true. I remember falling in love with that song. 1999 was the year, to be exact, and I remember sitting in my parents car in the parking lot of Home Depot as my parents went to buy whatever parents buy at Home Depot, and Scar Tissue played on 101X (local Austin radio station). I was pretty much unfamiliar with RHCP up until that point besides what I had heard on the radio in the early nineties ( Under The Bridge, Give it Away). TIME! I’ve been a Chilis fan since I was in the 8th grade. Hey! I’m Frankie and I’m proud – not afraid – to say that I am a HUGE Red Hot Chili Peppers fan! They are my favorite band OF. So, just for the hell of it, I asked him to create an ultimate RHCP mix in celebration of the band releasing their new album today. What’s stranger is that while they’re one of the biggest bands in the world (otherwise how could they headline festivals and play arenas?), it wasn’t until I met my buddy Frankie in 2008-09 that I actually came across someone who claimed to be a mega-fan. They have some songs I like, some that I don’t, and overall I think that they exist in a part of my brain that simply tolerates their existence. John here! I can’t say I’ve ever thought of myself as a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan.
