Red Hot Chili Peppers were cruising along for nearly a decade by the time their most famous record, 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik, came to store shelves, the radio waves, and MTV. But it was a particular fusion of time, place, talent, and execution that propelled it to the stratosphere. Here in the US, it's a seven-times Platinum album teeming with earworm singles that explore the whole gamut of genres, from rap to funk to rock, all tied together by a renowned producer who happens to know quite a few musical styles very, very well. If you have to ask why Blood Sugar Sex Magik is so good, you've probably never listened to it. And while we could have lied, we know the secret. We're happy to give it away. Enjoy.

Favorite band of all-time. Die hard Chili fan. I really wasn't expecting this. THANK YOU

Phil Walker

Holy Shit. I would never thought you would have done this album. It means everything to me. I have been a session guitar player for 20 years and I never would have picked up an instrument if it wasnt for hearing John Frusciante's guitar work here and on Californication!

I remember a time when my grandmother took us to a restaurant for breakfast before church. While we were eating, a man a few tables down had a heart attack. The EMTs came a short time later and were working on him right there on the floor but he did not survive. After they took him away, my grandmother said, "wow, it's pretty dead for a Sunday." We almost had to call the EMTs back as I nearly choked on my pancakes.

I was just talking to someone the other day about how this is one of my all time favorite albums. A nice surprise to see this be the topic!

Kenneth Koepnick

LSM Live sock photo poster confirmed?

Ryan Zimm

I remember being obsessed with Under the Bridge, and my utter disappointment that nothing else on the album felt the same

Eric

Really loving these music related episodes. I love going deep on subjects like this.

Sam smith

Guys… I would argue that TOOL is one of those bands w a prominent bassist! Am I wrong?? Lol. I was screaming at the pod lol

Alex Gould

I’m late to the party here but the only other prominent bass player that I can think of (other than Flea) is Les Claypool of Primus as being an example of what Colin is talking about. You cannot think of Primus without thinking of Claypool. It’s almost too extreme of an example though because he is the singer, frontman, and primary songwriter of the band and seems to play the bass guitar like it’s the lead instrument as the guitarist is the accompanying instrument.

One of my favorite albums of all time. So glad you guys are discussing this! Frusciante’s guitar work on this album is still some of the best I’ve ever heard. That Sir Psycho coda still sends me into a state of euphoria. You must watch the Funky Monks making of doc if you haven’t already.

Red Hot Chili Peppers was the first rock band I knew I liked before Gorrillaz. The song, “Californication” plus the video was really groundbreaking for me as a kid. It is true, “Under the Bridge” is definitely a staple rock radio song and it never gets old. And yes, Dagan, a Gorillaz concert is really good. I got to see them for the Humanz tour a few years back.

The Funky Monk

Fellas! This is my favorite Knockback you've guys have done thus far (saving private ryan ep was also fantastic). RHCP is my all time favorite band (check my username haha), and this was a brilliant nostalgia trip. Any post-pod thoughts on "mellowship slinky in b major"? It's definitely one of their less played tracks on the album, but it's one of my favorites. Just love the constant funky groove throughout. I'm definitely going to check out your other music based episodes. Also +1 on Epiphany from Bad Religion. One of their best.
