Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a band that was popular in the 1990's, but have had success in the 2000's as well.  The Red Hot Chili Peppers were based in California, like many rock bands, but did not originate from there.  Their music is either fast rock sounds with funk mixed in with it and some fast vocals that resemble rap, and other times it is long drawn-out vocals that make up their song.

Lead singer Anthony Kiedis was known for his drug use at times, and he wrote a song "Under the Bridge" which explains it.  In the song, he mentions walking through Los Angeles and going under a bridge and 'draw some blood', which is referencing to his drug use.  He does not use drugs any longer, he stopped after his house burnt down.

I think if anyone knows who they are, they would know songs like "Dani California", "Scar Tissue", "Around the World", and my favorite RHCP song, "Under the Bridge".
