    RHCP are truly one of the last actual innovators in music. It’s special and RARE when a band creates a sound and style that NOBODY has ever done or heard of. People love to trash Anthony, but they wouldn’t have become who they did without Anthony. He was that wild and crazy friend they had who was lost without knowing what his purpose in life was, all while he watched his musician friends find their purpose. The smartest and greatest decision they ever made was throwing Anthony a microphone to see what came out of it. His energy was out of this world, his soul was pure love and funk, his stage presence was unmatched, and his determination to grow as an artist/performer is nothing short of astonishing. He was not meant to know how to sing like just another random normal band….it was truly a gift because what he organically produced out of his soul is what made the RHCP’s a group of legendary innovators. That young man would have never thought in his life that he would grow to be a legend with his friends that he believed would go on to be successful legends without him. Anthony and Flea were the main innovators of the never before seen style seeds that they planted and blossomed. The cosmic style mixtures of Bone Crunching Mayhem Funk, Rap, and Punk Rock made people bust their fucking nuts and leak magic rappity funky punk juice right out of their anal orifice. And that gift i mentioned about Anthony not being a singer in the beginning, not only made them actual innovators, but it also gave Anthony a world’s amount of time for improvement. Him and the MASSIVE amount of potential evolvement he had been given is how that band has the incredibly successful longevity that very few bands will ever reach. Anthony literally evolved and transformed into another level of artist/singer/performer. It led them to level up and create something amazingly fresh for every new album they did. But they were also still able to harness their Funk, Rap, and Punk rock roots, sprinkling it all over their art with those added angelic guitar/bass melodies, Anthony’s new melodic style of rapping/singing/and Frusciante’s Godly like vocal harmonies……So many bands have copied and tried to recreate or reinvent the RHCP style, but they either didn’t last very long, or they failed miserably. There will only ever be ONE Organic Anti Beatbox band….and only ONE group of Funky Monks, and that’s the Red Hot Chili Peppers 🌶️ ❤️ 🤘 🤙

      They want to give her seven years
      For being sad
      My friends are so distressed
      And standing on the brink of emptiness
      No words I know of to express

    Later. Chili peppers for prez 2024 after Bernie hands them a revolutionized America. Feel the berm feel the funk have a soul have a heart. Peace love sex and funk. I will love you guys forever. We still keep you in our thoughts and hearts Hillel. And Johnny, we absolutely love what you're up yo don't stop you're making the world better but we still need you to rejoin one last time and make a soul stew with your brothers before it's too late. I hope word gets around and I hope this message of love touches all of you whether through me and this message or through the collective soul you allow us to be part of.

People forget or just weren’t around to remember how mind-blowing this was at the time. Blood Sugar Sex Magik opened up the whole alternative thang for Nirvana to come right through. Uncle Jam is a genius. Listen to more Parliament and Funkadelic 🤘🏻
