By the initials of my title some of you might already know what I'm going to be talking about but unless you don't RHCP stands for Red Hot Chili Peppers. To me they are one of the greatest bands that ever existed. With their funky beats and style, mixed in with some rock, and some mellow melodys, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have a style unique to any other band out there. No band out there has come close to their style, and I'm glad because I know if there was a band out there they wouldn't be able to keep up with RHCP. Well RHCP is a band from Los Angeles, California that was formed in 1983. The band consists of Anthony Kiedis(vocals), John Frusciante(guitar), Flea Balzary(bass), and Chad Smith(drums). All of these band members contribute greatly to what the Red Hot Chili Peppers stand for. Anthony with his unique voice, John with the guitar riffs of a rock god, and Chad with the drum beats that are the backbone to the band. But the one that I think has given RHCP its funky edge is Flea, with his slap bass, funky, psychedelic notes, he has showed the world that bass does not have to just be a background instrument. The band has released several records over the years, all of them being praised by the fans. Some of them include "Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik", "One Hot Minute", "Californiacation, "By the Way", and their most recent release "Stadium Arcadium". Each of these records have included great hits(not saying that all the songs aren't good)that have showed that RHCP is not just any other one hit wonder band but a group of musical geniuses that together have showed the world that a band from Los Angeles can add a whole new genre to the rock scene. This is one of the reasons why I think the band is so great, to be playing together for over 20 years and still be able to release great music after all the years I think is an amazing thing to do. I'm sure all of you have experienced the great music created by this band but unless you haven't let me leave you with some songs to listen to that will change your view of what you know as rock. I don't want to leave any great songs out so get ready cause the list might be big. "Can't Stop", "Soul to Squeeze", "By the Way", "Under the Bridge", "Higher Ground", "Fortune Faded","Give it Away", "Otherside", "Scar Tissue", "Californiacation", "Dani California", "Snow(Hey Oh)", and "Tell me Baby". I guarantee you that any of these songs will make you give RHCP more of your time to listen to their great music.

I’m actually listening to some Chili Peppers right now as I do my homework. They are one of my favorite bands and I own most of their albums. I also find it amazing that a band can stay together for twenty years and still make great music. It shows that they are true masterminds of music. I usually run out of inspiration after mere weeks of something. I also agree that Flea is one of the greatest musicians in history. He truly has changed the ideas revolving around the bass. RHCP is definitely one of modern history’s greatest bands and will continue to awe the world with their fantastic beats.
