A funk rock band, currently made up of singer Anthony Kiedis, Flea (born Michael Balzary), John Frusciante and Chad Smith. They have gone through various line-up changes, but mainly based around Kiedis and Flea.
Flea is one of the best bassists in history, with frequent use of slap bass technique.
Hillel Slovak was arguably their best guitarist, but died tragically from a heroin overdose.
They have released 8 albums to date. Their first four albums are the better but unfortunately lesser known material.
An interesting fact about Anthony Kiedis is that he is of Lithuanian and Apache Indian descent.

I got tired of my boyfriend asking me to put a finger in his butt, so I gave him a Red Hot Chili Pepper to let him know it had to stop.

The greatest band in the world. EVER! Containing Anthony Kiedis, with his amazingly original singing-rap style, John Frusciante, i.e. God with a guitar, Flea, the greatest bassist in the world, and Chad Smith, who is an amazing drummer. Add that to their love for each other, and you get the greatest band in the world.
"Hey, you know the chilis?"
"Oh, the greatest band in the world?"
"Yeh"
"Yeh"
"Well they rock, dude!"
"Yeh, I know!"

A band that used to be good, but now they suck and are completely overrated and bland.
Members of the band include Anthony Kiedis (he used to be a cool guy in the 80's, but he became too self absorbed when the Peppers became famous.)
The overrated and bland guitarist John Frusciante. (Tell me, if he's such a talented guitarist, then why does he play such simple guitar riffs? You'd think he'd actually have the nerve to use his talent to create something more original and complex.)
And of course, one of the most talented bassists of all time, Flea. (too bad for being in an overrated band.)
Chad Smith (I don't understand why he is even in this band? He is one of the most repetitive drummers I've ever heard.)

Red Hot Chili Peppers were a great band back in the 80's, but after Hillel Slovak died, they have gone downhill since.
They should have just gave up instead of making 6 boring and redudant albums and leave us with the 3 classic albums they made while Hillel was alive. Then I wouldn't be calling them "overrated".
