If you've got funk,you've got style
Thought it would be interesting to mention some memorable chili pepper quotes...well...not exactly quotes but even extended inner consiousness discoveries of the band:

FLEA(extract from "Funky Monks")*
"Being a member of the red hot chili peppers is about being free and not being tied down to anything,not trying to fit into any mode or any style or any category and...as far as our lifestyle which extends to the way you look,the way you talk and the way you act and anyone that would consiously apply any short of rock'n'roll cliches to their life would obviously not fit into be in the red hot chili peppers and someone that would had a natural passion and love for music and particularly for FUNK music would be someone that could be in the red hot chili peppers."


Mr. John Anthony Frusciante(extract from "Funky Monks")
"It's like I'm in the forth dimension and...somebody is asking me to describe it verbally and...that's what the forth dimension is all about...there are no words,no symbols,no images...all pure,real energy and vibrations and if I thought about how cruel of a word this is,I would probably just commit suicide after a while,if that was what I spent my energy in,thinkin' about,I would definately have any strength left to CREATE MUSIC."

Anthony Kiedis
"I inherited my father's insatiable desire to meet all the beautiful girls in tha world"
*Flea's words are written as they would be also written by him...without puntuation or grammatical rules...just an enlighted simple flow of words


FUNK YOU MOTHERFUNKERS and
TENK YOU!!!
