Blood Sugar Sex Magik was Red Hot Chili Peppers’ fifth album and first for Warner Bros., to which the group signed after its contract with EMI expired. At Rubin’s suggestion, the band moved into the producer’s mansion turned recording studio in Los Angeles during sessions for Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Living and working at “The Mansion” promoted maximum creativity and unity, and enough material was cut to fill two CDs. At the label’s insistence, they edited it down to a single CD, albeit a long one with 18 songs – which would’ve made it a double album in the vinyl era. The hit single was “Under the Bridge” (Number Two), but “Give It Away,” “Breaking the Girl” and “Suck My Kiss” became popular modern-rock radio tracks.
Adjusting to their sudden popularity proved particularly difficult for guitarist Frusciante, who was the youngest band member by nearly eight years. Conflicted about success and grappling with drug addiction, he asked to leave during a 1992 tour of Japan. The remaining dates were canceled, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers searched for a replacement. Arik Marshall served as interim guitarist for the group’s headlining spot on the Lollapalooza ’92 tour, and Jesse Tobias (of Mother Tongue) was briefly a member. Dave Navarro, formerly of Jane’s Addiction, officially became their new guitarist, making his public debut at the Woodstock ’94 festival. However, his tenure was relatively short-lived, as he appeared only one album, 1995’s One Hot Minute, which was released four years after Blood Sugar Sex Magik. It proved to be one of their more difficult projects, as the musical chemistry with Navarro never quite gelled. In addition, Kiedis was dealing with physical injuries and resurgent drug issues during its making. In the band members’ own words, it was a “darker” and “sadder” album. Two of its songs, “Tearjerker” and “Transcending,” were written about the recently deceased Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix, respectively. Even with its moodier vibe and difficult gestation, the album yielded the Red Hot Chili Peppers classics “Aeroplane,” “My Friends” and “Warped.”
Meanwhile, Frusciante’s drug habit had become so debilitating that he lost most of what he owned and very nearly died. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were foundering in their own way in his absence. The troubled group performed only one show in 1997 – and even that was cut short. Navarro left the band by mutual consent in April 1998. With encouragement from his former bandmates, Frusciante entered drug rehab and was offered back his role as guitarist. The reconstituted Red Hot Chili Peppers thereupon entered the most stable period of their career, enduring without another personnel change from 1998 to 2008. The first product of their reunion was Californication (1999), a highly creative endeavor that Kiedis considered the band’s best work. Generally more melodic, philosophical and song-oriented, the 15-song album yielded a bounty of singles, including “Scar Tissue” (Number Nine), “Otherside” (Number 14), “Californication” (Number 69) and the popular modern-rock tracks “Around the World,” “Road Trippin’” and “Parallel Universe.”
In the summer of 1999, the Red Hot Chili Peppers embarked on a two-year world tour to support Californication. This included a notorious closing performance at the violence-marred Woodstock ’99 festival, during which their highly charged encore of Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire” (with a naked Flea covered only by his bass guitar) ignited an already incendiary situation.
The group started working on By the Way soon after the end of the Californication Tour. Released in July 2002, the album was noticeably light on the extroverted rap-funk that had established the group. Peaking at Number Two – making it the band's highest-charting album to date – By the Way yielded four singles: “The Zephyr Song,” “Can’t Stop,” “Universally Speaking” and the title track. Another marathon tour outing, lasting more than a year, followed its release, culminating in huge shows at Ireland’s Slane Castle and London’s Hyde Park.
Stadium Arcadium became the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ magnum opus and first Number One album, entering the Billboard chart in the top position on its release in May 2006. Once again there was a wealth of material – enough for what they initially conceived would be three albums released at half-year intervals. Instead, they issued a mammoth 28-track double CD, with leftovers parceled out as B sides. Truly, it was a Herculean achievement that cemented the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ stature as the hardest-working and most ambitious band in popular music. The album won the group five more Grammys. Another world tour followed, for which guitarist Klinghoffer – a friend and collaborator of Frusciante’s – joined as an auxiliary tour guitarist.
