Awesome Red Hot Chili Peppers

Flea’s House for Sale

Flea’s House for Sale

If you’re a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and have $8.8 million burning a hole in your pocket, today’s your lucky day. Flea is selling his unique mansion in the hills outside of LA. The 5.7-acre compound has three structures, each in different but harmonious styles. Architectural Digest takes us inside this dramatic home.

Can’t Stop The Distance

Can’t Stop The Distance

Hungry? Enjoy a slice of Cake wrapped in spicy Red Hot Chili Peppers in this amazing remix from DJ Cummerbund. The track perfectly melds the song Going The Distance with Can’t Stop, and sprinkles in a dash of R.E.M.’s It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) for flavor.

Red Hot Indian Chili Peppers

Red Hot Indian Chili Peppers

Some of the spiciest peppers in the world come from India, so it’s only natural that the music of the Red Hot Chili Peppers would fit right in. Musician Andre Antunes shows how that works by adding some Flea-inspired bass rhythms to a famous red carpet improv by Jalandhariye vocalists the Nooran Sisters.

Red Hot Chili Peppers: These Are the Ways

Red Hot Chili Peppers: These Are the Ways

In the music video for the RHCP’s latest single, Anthony Kiedis does his best Been Caught Stealing impression, shoplifting right in front of a cop, leading the police on a high-speed pursuit and on the best backyard foot pursuit since Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. From the album Unlimited Love. Directed by Malia James.

Scar Tissue on Guitarlele

Scar Tissue on Guitarlele

Musician Luca Stricagnoli proves you don’t need a big or fancy instrument to produce an amazing sound, just raw talent. His cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers 1999 track Scar Tissue has incredible depth, detail, and emotional impact performed on his ukulele-guitar hybrid.

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Black Summer

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Black Summer

“It’s been a long time since I made a new friend… waiting on another black summer to end.” The Red Hot Chili Peppers just dropped their first new song in six years. The intro track off their album Unlimited Love also marks the return of producer Rick Rubin and guitarist John Frusciante. The album drops 4.1.22.

Can’t Stop the Ukulele

Can’t Stop the Ukulele

We’ve been following musician Feng E since he was 10 years old. Since then, he’s continued to perfect and evolve his string instrument skills. You’ll want to crank up the volume for his sublime ukulele arrangement of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 2002 hit track Can’t Stop, performed with perfect pacing and precision.

Playing Flea’s Best Basslines

Playing Flea’s Best Basslines

While nobody can play a Flea bassline quite like Flea himself, we’ve gotta hand it to Charles Berthoud for his efforts, as he performs two handfuls of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ best and most memorable bass riffs and solos. Even more impressive is how he played them on a $85 electric bass.

Can’t Stop on Piano

Can’t Stop on Piano

In the words of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: “Choose not a life of imitation.” Musician Gamazda offers up a great piano cover version of RHCP’s 2002 hit “Can’t Stop” that’s so good that it even managed to score two thumbs up from the band that created it.

RHCP Remix

RHCP Remix

Thanks to the arcane copyright policing on YouTube, remixers like Jonny Wilson of Eclectic Method have found it harder to post content. His solution, keep the sound snippets so short that nobody can recognize them. His mashup of Red Hot Chili Peppers tracks maintains all of their texture, but none of their melodies.

Snow (Hey Oh): Fingerstyle

Snow (Hey Oh): Fingerstyle

Musician Luca Stricagnoli is back with another fantastic performance. Watch and listen as the fingerstyle guitar master’s fingers fly across the fretboard with a great rendition of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ melodic 2006 hit Snow (Hey Oh).

Red Hot Chili Smashup

Red Hot Chili Smashup

The consistently entertaining and enthralling Pomplamoose presents a fun recording that seamlessly blends Smash Mouth’s unkillable hit All Star with the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ tracks Can’t Stop and Californication. That opening bass riff is still one of the best ever.

Can’t Stop: Fingerstyle

Can’t Stop: Fingerstyle

Guitarist Luca Stricagnoli presents another fantastic fingerstyle cover arrangement – taking on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 2002 hit Can’t Stop on his triple-necked acoustic guitbass. The endlessly spinning camera made us a little queasy, but the music is worth a little dizziness.

How Flea Plays Bass

How Flea Plays Bass

The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea looks like a War Boy who happens to be a beast on the bass. But as Polyphonic points out, it’s ultimately his ability to harmonize with his bandmates – especially as a crest to John Frusciante’s minimal licks – that makes him special.

Literal Red Hot Chili Peppers

Literal Red Hot Chili Peppers

Musician Davie504 was asked by a fan if he could play some Red Hot Chili Peppers with an actual red hot chili pepper. Aiming to please, he obliged, and turned in a delicious medley of the band’s spicy blend of alternative, rap, rock, and funk flavors.

John Frusciante: I Feel Love

John Frusciante: I Feel Love

We’re not sure if we’re more impressed by Flea’s ability to nail Giorgio Moroder’s synth bassline, or former RHCP guitarist John Frusciante’s falsetto in this 2006 cover of Donna Summer’s disco classic. Anthony Kiedis’ dance moves, on the other hand…

Californication on Ukulele

Californication on Ukulele

EatMyUke is currently on a quest to learn how to play his 50 favorite albums of all time on the ukulele. Given how well he performed The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Californication, we think he’ll have no problem achieving his goal. That’s Matt Deakin chipping in on the drums.

Give It Away in 20 Styles

Give It Away in 20 Styles

Ten Second Songs‘ Anthony Vincent channels Anthony Kiedis, then takes a quick left turn to perform the Chili Peppers’ classic Give It Away in the style of 20 other musicians, from The Beastie Boys to Guns N’ Roses to David Bowie. The Twenty Øne Pilots bit was hilarious.

Flea x Fender Signature Bass

Flea x Fender Signature Bass

RHCP’s bass man teamed up with Fender to reproduce his beloved ’61 Shell Pink Jazz Bass, a very special instrument he received from a fan. The guitar has a road-worn shell with a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, vintage style Jazz Bass pickups and a neck plate with art by Flea.

RHCP: Dark Necessities

RHCP: Dark Necessities

This single about battling one’s demons from the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ new album The Getaway is sure to be a massive hit with its sharp lyrics, punchy rhythms, an infectious chorus, and a compelling music video directed by none other than Olivia Wilde.

RHCP Carpool Karaoke

RHCP Carpool Karaoke

James Corden fills every seat in his Range Rover with the members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as they sing a number of their hits, reminisce about their past, wrestle on someone’s lawn, and perform a brief tribute to the musical Oliver!, led enthusiastically by Flea.

(NSFW) While we’re hoping that The Red Hot Chili Peppers save us from Bruno Mars’ Super Bowl appearance, we can also understand that there’s a certain redundancy to some of their songs, as illustrated by this parody by Jon Daly.
