Rock Music Videos Red Hot Chili Peppers - Punk, Funk and Rock

Red Hot Chili Peppers is a true-blue American band formed in Los Angeles. Their sound is mostly punk and electronic yet they have successfully created a rave around the US with it. The group still performs as of this time and the current members are Anthony Kiedis on vocals, Chad Smith on drums, Josh Klinghoffer on guitar, and Michael Balzary on bass. Originally, Hillel Sloval was on lead guitar and Jack Irons takes the drums. But when Slovak died in 1988, Irons left.

Red Hot Chili Peppers created lots of notable albums, songs and rock music videos. The band created several great song collections with many of them selling millions of copies worldwide. The album that brought them commercial success was "Blood Sugar Sex Magik", which was released in 1991. It was followed by other greats such as "Californication", "By the Way", and "Stadium Arcadium".

As far as for the rock music videos Red Hot Chili Peppers are concerned, the hottest one that they produced is the one for the song "Breaking the Girl", released in '92. The video is depicted in a surreal environment, with Kiedis looking like Star War's Princess Leia in the flick. The colorful backdrop, the constant changing of costumes and the cameo roles of River Phoenix and Patricia Velasquez are the elements that made this video memorable.

Most of the rock music videos Red Hot Chili Peppers produced for that album follow a storyline. The videos aren't just an arrogant clip showing vocal performances like other bands do. Take the music video for "Otherside" as an example. This one uses a cartoonish rendition theme merged in a dream sequence one. The group is dressed in a black shirt while playing surreal instruments.

On the other hand, rock music videos Red Hot Chili Peppers for "Scar Tissue" were more of a welcome party for John Frusciante, the band's guitarist who replaced Slovak after his death. Frusciante is shown driving a car in the first scene. The whole group is traveling beaten, battered, and bandaged across a wreck. The video also featured Frusciante in very emotional a guitar solo.

The initial choices for rock music videos Red Hot Chili Peppers got for "Give It Away" were not impressive so they went on to create something that is supposed to be visually enticing. Ironically, they filmed the video for this song in pure black and white, with all the band members painted in silver.
