The Red Hot Chili Peppers is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983. For most of their career, the Red Hot Chili Peppers lineup has consisted of vocalist Anthony Kiedis, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary, and drummer Chad Smith. The Red Hot Chili Peppers varied musical style has fused traditional rock with various elements of funk, punk rock, alternative rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic rock. Red Hot Chili Peppers hold the record for the most number one singles on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart, with eleven, and a record of 81 weeks at #1 on the chart. To date, Red Hot Chili Peppers have sold approximately 90 million albums worldwide, and Red Hot Chili Peppers were ranked #30 in VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.

In addition to Kiedis and Flea, the Red Hot Chili Peppers originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. After Slovak died of a heroin overdose in 1988, Irons resigned, and they were replaced briefly with several different people. The new Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, D. H. Peligro soon introduced Flea to guitarist John Frusciante. Drummer Chad Smith was recruited few weeks before the recording of Mother's Milk, the Red Hot Chili Peppers fourth album, began.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers fifth album, 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik, was a critical success and sold over twelve million copies. Frusciante grew increasingly uncomfortable with the Red Hot Chili Peppers success and left the group in 1992. The Red Hot Chili Peppers employed Dave Navarro (of Jane's Addiction) for their subsequent album, 1995's One Hot Minute. It failed, however, to match the critical acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik and was a commercial disappointment, selling less than half of its predecessor. Creative differences between Navarro and the rest of the band caused him to be fired from the Red Hot Chili Peppers not long after.

Meanwhile Frusciante, in his absence, developed a severe drug addiction and almost lost his life. Nevertheless, in 1998 he completed rehabilitation and rejoined the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Flea's request. The reunited foursome returned to the studio to record 1999's Californication, which would go on to sell fifteen million units worldwide, becoming Red Hot Chili Peppers most successful album to date. It was followed up three years later with By the Way, an album showing a more subdued and melodic side to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 2006, the Red Hot Chili Peppers released the double album Stadium Arcadium.
