Forget 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' — The Red Hot Chili Peppers' Greatest Album Saved a Broken Band




The history of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is filled with turbulence and extreme situations, but even though they are no strangers to tragedy, it was in 1998 that they were truly on the verge of breaking up. A decade before, in 1988, founding members Flea and Anthony Kiedis had to face the tragic loss of their original guitarist, Hillel Slovak, to a drug overdose. They were devastated, which led to their original drummer, Jack Irons, quitting the band, but even then they never thought about disbanding. The two of them set out to rebuild the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and when drummer Chad Smith and guitarist John Frusciante joined, they finally reached mainstream stardom with the release of their fifth album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
