Grab your tickets to see one of the most path breaking pioneer bands in the music industry, a band that was screaming away in the alternative genre when the likes of Yes, Aha and Duran Duran were ruling to charts- it's time to get your tickets to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers live in concert. As their name suggests, a ticket to their live shows is one hot and unforgettable experience- what more can you expect from the original bad boys of the alternative music scene.

One phrase aptly sums up the Red Hot Chili Peppers- before their time. Be it their live shows, their hotly melded medleys of punk and funk or their striking lyrics, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are like the kids who were out playing at recess while everyone else was still stuck in school. Often credited as being the first band to bring the fusion of white and black sound to the fore, they are also credited as being one of the pioneering influences on the nu-metal movement.

Despite a number of line up changes, the current line up of Flea on bass, Anthony Keidis on vocals, Chad Smith on drums and John Frusciante on guitar has remained for the past nine years. Past members have included former Jane's Addiction member Dave Navarro, Hillel Slovak (who died of a drug overdose), Jack Irons (formerly of Pearl Jam) and a number of other musicians who have not been able to fit in with the Red Hot Chili Peppers groove. The band has a very distinctive style of music- most of the songs are crafted around Flea's bass playing which is a fusion of punk, rock and blues. He is also known to employ a lot of slap bass in his playing.

Anthony Keidis is known for his unconventional rapping style, which follows the melody instead of the beat- he is also known to use the spoken verse method of delivery. His singing is in a steady, soothing voice that find its best groove in songs like 'Under the Bridge' and 'Californication' Frusciante's guitaring is akin to that of Slovak and Smith's drumming has been credited as being one of the best in the world.

Red Hot Chili Peppers came on the scene alongside bands like Fishbone, Jane's Addiction and Thelonius Monster. They have been a headlining act at Lollapalooza and have a clutch of chart topping songs to their name, including 'Scar Tissue', Other Side', 'Higher Ground', 'Breaking the Girl' and 'Show Me Your Soul'. Don't miss your chance to see this path breaking pioneer alternative outfit tear the stage apart at a venue near you.
