The 90's is known as the golden age of music. At that time you only listened to rock from end to end, heavy or light rock. Who does not remember
Kurt Cobain with Nirvana, Axel Rose with Gus N 'Roses, in addition to groups like REM? But these are groups that didn't make much noise and to change that panorama, the Californian band Red Hot Chili Peppers made their appearance and in what way... They were famous for their unforgettable socks. This group is the owner of the
funk-rock. Its popularity is not only characterized by its catchy themes, since the real spice is in its peculiar way of presenting itself. The poster with a sock covering his virile members was just the beginning of what is now a living musical legend.
The famous red chili socks
The image of the members of
Red Hot Chili Peppers with the sock on their penises is so iconic that in the market you can buy the
Happy Socks alluding to the famous red chilis that represent the name of this band. It can be said that the big industries have known how to take advantage not only of the talent of the artists but also of their way of being and acting; also their way of dressing, to such an extent that a fashion has been imposed that identifies fans and non-followers of the Californian group. Like any band, Red Hot Chili Peppers have had their ups and downs. However, they have remained on the list of most streamed artists and although they still reluctantly come together, they continue to produce great music and continue to achieve great success. The stadiums continue to fill up to enjoy the spectacle offered by the masters of funk rock.
How Red Hot Chili Peppers Was Born
Going back and following the story of the unforgettable socks, Red Hot Chili Peppers has a brighter background yet. Although they currently make presentations to millions of people, in 1983 the situation was different. Up to 30 people would gather to listen to his music until a presentation at the club
Rhythm loungue everything changed. The show was stolen and word quickly spread that the band was made up of four guys.
Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem It was the first name of the group, when it began to sound and attract the attention of various music connoisseurs, they made the decision to change their name and that was when what is now a legend, Red Hot Chili Peppers, emerged. Their first performances as RHCP were completely nude, the only thing that accompanied them were the socks that covered their members. This peculiar way of presenting themselves gradually gained popularity until they became what they are. The most important band of funk rock. The first album they managed to record (self-titled) didn't launch them to instant stardom, but it kept them sounding like an up-and-coming group. Years and albums later plus a few changes, arrangements, departures, entrances and returns of some members, they managed to consolidate the album that until now is the greatest success of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Californication.
