In \u201cThe Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel,\u201d there\u2019s a thrilling moment where we hear the band perform together for the first time. It\u2019s Dec. 16, 1982, and three of the band\u2019s members \u2014 the guitarist Hillel Slovak<\/a>, the drummer Jack Irons<\/a>, and the bass player Flea<\/a> \u2014 have been playing in a group called What is This<\/a>? It was Gary Allen<\/a>, a musician, fashion maven, and gay Warholian scenester, who suggested that for a lark the three perform a short gig with Anthony Kiedis<\/a>, their buddy from Fairfax High School, as lead singer.<\/p>\n

Kiedis, a good-looking club kid who liked to do drugs and write rap poetry (he was in his homeless couch-surfing phase when Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five\u2019s \u201cThe Message\u201d spun his head around), had never thought of himself as a musician. That\u2019s why he\u2019d always stayed on the sidelines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
