And recently, one of the exes, Josh Klinghoffer, spoke with <em>Guitar World<\/em> about feeling \u201cerased\u201d from the band\u2019s history since Frusciante returned to the lineup. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitarworld.com\/artists\/guitarists\/why-josh-klinghoffer-feels-his-chili-peppers-contributions-have-been-erased-from-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cI guess it\u2019s a little strange for people that connected to some of the other stuff. It\u2019s almost like it disappears and doesn\u2019t have a chance to live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s revisit three RHCP classics that fans may want to hear live but likely won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cMy Friends\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Red Hot Chili Peppers - My Friends [Official Music Video]\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0kT5w27YxyI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the blockbuster success of <em>Blood Sugar Sex Magik<\/em>, John Frusciante quit the band mid-tour. On the next album, <em>One Hot Minute<\/em>, Jane\u2019s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro arrived, creating a kind of L.A. supergroup. It sounded as you might expect: a mix of funk, punk, and goth metal. \u201cMy Friends\u201d echoes the alt-ballad hit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/red-hot-chili-peppers\/under-the-bridge\">\u201cUnder The Bridge\u201d<\/a>, this time with singer Anthony Kiedis lamenting his friends\u2019 sadness instead of his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cAeroplane\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane [Official Music Video]\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vV8IAOojoAA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another from the Navarro era, \u201cAeroplane\u201d features a kids\u2019 chant and one of Flea\u2019s most iconic bass lines, which makes this one tough to leave off the set list. Yet even with this lighter jam, there\u2019s a general darkness surrounding <em>One Hot Minute<\/em>. Both Kiedis and Navarro were struggling with addiction, and it would take Frusciante\u2019s return to save the band. However, at the time, neither Frusciante\u2019s nor the band\u2019s survival seemed possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cDark Necessities\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dark Necessities [Official Music Video]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q0oIoR9mLwc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Navarro\u2019s tenure lasted only one album, Josh Klinghoffer has a much longer history with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He\u2019s worked with Frusciante outside the band and also toured with RHCP as a utility musician before replacing Frusciante in late 2009. Klinghoffer recorded two studio albums with the band: <em>I\u2019m With You<\/em> and <em>The Getaway<\/em>. The latter was the first since <em>Mother\u2019s Milk<\/em> without longtime producer Rick Rubin, and \u201cDark Necessities\u201d highlights how Danger Mouse guided the band into new musical territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding how the band navigates their sprawling catalog with Frusciante, Klinghoffer said, \u201cI guess it\u2019s particular to the way John views the band when he\u2019s not in it, and it makes sense to me. They have enough music that they don\u2019t need to look to some of the other records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Kevin Mazur\/Getty Images for Global Citizen<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red Hot Chili Peppers have had many guitarists over the years, but John Frusciante&#8217;s tenure overshadows the others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":2355,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Kevin Mazur\/Getty Images for Global Citizen","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[94,18],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-2349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lists","tag-red-hot-chili-peppers","tag-rock-music"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Lists","term_id":14,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/lists\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"Red Hot Chili Peppers","term_id":94,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/red-hot-chili-peppers\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
