by Dave Thompson (Author)
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are the archetype of rock rebellion - from strutting the stage wearing a lone sock to getting arrested, they have reached the pinnacle of notoriety as "bad boys" of rock. But there is much more to the Chili Peppers than sensational exhibitionism. They have shattered rock's state of terminal lethargic conformism and are hitting platinum sales in the US. The author of this book has spent three years researching the tangled private lives of the Chili Peppers, unearthing the legend behind the heroin addictions which took one life and threatened another and the break-up of Anthony Kiedis' romance wth actress Lone Skye. Interviews with colleauges, friends and victims of the band have unearthed a wealth of untold tales, dating all the way back to their early days in Los Angeles.
