Q: What kind of guitar should i buy to play Red Hot Chili Peppers music?
I want to play the bass guitar like Flea from RHCP. I've never played the guitar before and this will be the first time. I want to spend up to 600$ on it, but can you give me some advice on the brand and everything?

A: Fender p-bass is good but a little expensive. Its all about pick-ups and amp and effects you use too to get a certain sound. Check out musiciansfriend.com to see alot of differnt bass models and prices. Also check out guitar center or even pawn shops.

Q: Where can i find the Music Video for "If you have to ask" by Red Hot chili peppers?
The only place that i could previously find it was youtube, but now they have removed it due to some form of violation of their terms. It would be a real shame for this video to be lost forever, so i hope to make copies of this and post them on the internet. Does anyone know where i can download/buy the music video? Thanks by the way, i tried to say ;) that what i meant was that i needed the original music video for the song. Cheers.

A: Hey, that's cool, I'm a huge fan, as you can tell already. Firstly go here. That'll get you started... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers#Musical_style Then about their musical influences...See here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Frusciante#Influences http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flea_%28musician%29#Influences And about Anthony, the article says - "Kiedis spent much of his youth listening to Sly & the Family Stone, Ohio Players, Led Zeppelin, What Is This? (which future bandmates Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons were members of), and Stevie Wonder - artists who would influence the Red Hot Chili Peppers' sound." The song on "Live in Hyde Park", "Rolling sly stone", is a tribute to Sly stone, they covered "Love rollercoaster" back in 1996, which is originally a "Ohio Players" song... Hope this helps!

Q: What Genre of Rock Music do The Red Hot Chili Peppers Play?


A: they have changed throughout their careers but its all rock. They were inspired by punk rock bands like Black Flag and X, but when they began playing, they played funk rock. They eventually began playing alternative. Flea became known as one of the funkiest bassists there was. Mother's Milk was John Frusciantes first album as a Chili Peppers and produce Michael Beinhorn wanted it to be a metal album but John made it alternative funk. Blood Suar Sex Magik was produced by Rick Rubin and he let them play whatever kind of music. He has produced all of their albums since. One Hot Minute had Dave Navarro as guitarist (John left with many problems). Dave made them a pychedelic metal band. He was fired and John Frusciante decided to rejoin the band and they stopped playing metal and just played alternative. By the Way is their most unfunky album. It has many slow ballads but also has some great faster pased songs like By the Way, Can't Stop, and Throw Away Your Televsion. In Stadium Arcadium, Flea began to play funk rock again. They have been considered one of the most influential bands in alternative and funk rock. May of their albums have been considered among the best ever. John Frusciante, Flea, and Chad Smith have been considered among the best at their instruments. The Red Hot Chili Peppers (1984) - Funk Rock Freaky Styley (1985) - Funk Rock The Uplift Mofo Party Plan (1987) - Funk Rock Mother's Milk (1989) - Funk Rock, Metal, Alternative Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991) - Funk Rock, Alternative Rock One Hot Minute (1995) - Alternative Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Heavy Metal Californication (1999) - Alternative Rock By the Way (2002) - Alternative Rock Stadium Arcadium (2006) - Alternative Rock, Funk Rock Hope this helps!!!

Q: What guitar is better to play red hot chili peppers a strat or a tele?
Im a huge rhcp fan and i know tuns of there songs but i dont really have a guitar to play there music im thinking out of a squire affinaty strat or tele, id rather get a tele becasue i like them alot more then strats but i see alot more people use strats for rhcp than teles which one should i get?

A: If your main objective is using the guitar to play music by RHCP, then definitely get the Strat. John Frusciante mostly uses a 1962 Sunburst Fender Stratocaster. He's known to also use a 1967 red Fender Jaguar, a acoustic vintage 1950s Martin 0-15, and occasionally a '57 Gretsch White Falcon. The Telecaster will sound a little bit sharper, but a Strat will more closely resemble the original sound of the RHCP music...

Q: In the music video Dani California by the Red Hot Chili Peppers who is he impersonating?
The part where he is dressed all in white with long dark hair and theres a "bulge" in his pants? ( he also has a head band on in white. Its in the part towards the beginning of the video ) Its the part where he is wearing long white coat no shrt, white spandex pants white hand band and sunglasses. If you watch video on Yahoo. Music it comes in at 58 seconds until about110 Oh and then a flying saucer comes in.

A: You can keep wondering who they are as much as you like, but in recent interview, kiedis told that those bands in the video only portray the style and era of the musicians which RHCP was influenced by. Cobain is an exception.

Q: Who likes Red Hot Chili Peppers older music?
And what songs do you like? My favorite album of theirs is Californication. I like most of the songs from there! thanks! :) I don't think Californication is old, it's just that I never hera it played on the radio anymore! it's always dani california!

A: Californication was only released on 1999... It's not THAT old. For me, Bloodsugarsexmagik is still the best they've released. And Mother's Milk. : ) Stadium Arcadium sucks and I hate Dani California.
