Here is the extreme story of the indestractible LA group from their early funk days to eventual success as one of America"s top-selling bands.

Despite an epic reputation for exhibitionism, drug-taking and debauchery, through it all the Chili Peppers have continued to produce records that shock, challenge and intrigue their fans.

Beneath the bad behaviour, personnel changes and explosive live shows, the Chili Peppers" uncompromising musical integrity has always been there like one of their driving basslines, the one constant in a hyperactive career with more than its fair share of tragedies and triumphs.
