Synopsis

This 90's alternative "Rockumentary" films the lives of the four funky brothers from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (Michael "Flea" Balzary, Anthony Keidis, John Frusicante, and Chad Smith) as they record their groundbreaking album in 1991 "BloodSugarSexMagik". The film (while filmed in black & white throughout) is divided up into sections according to the songs they were recording while the cameraman was filming. From known songs like "Give it away" and "Under the Bridge" to some of the lesser know B-sides like "Sikamikanico" and "Soul to Squeeze" this film documents it all. Anthony Kiedis goes in depth about how he wrote some of the songs and why, as well as John, Flea, and Chad, talking about music, philosophy, and life in general. Any fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, rock music, or just loves watching documentaries, should check this one out indefinitely.
