BIGGEST Songs of the Week 📈

It’s been 16 years since the Red Hot Chili Peppers last released a song with guitarist John Frusciante — his departure from the band was so long ago that it was announced on MySpace.

At just 18-years old, Frusciante joined the Chili Peppers after the tragic death of their original guitarist Hillel Slovak. On the band’s 1991 record Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Frusciante brought a darker dynamic to the band’s party funk sound. With hits like Under the Bridge and Give It Away, the album sold more than 14 million copies and catapulted the group to superstar status. In the year following the album’s release, Frusciante, who had developed an addiction to heroin and became something of a recluse, grew tired of the band’s hedonism. During the group’s 1992 Saturday Night Live performance, Frusciante infamously tried sabotaging the show with misplaced chords and deafening howls. He quit the band shortly afterwards.
