Red Hot Chili Peppers - Secret recipe

Red Hot Chili Peppers band name origins - Jelly Roll Morton

Actually there is no satisfying explanation for the origins of the name of this funk band based in Los Angeles, California.

Ok, we could try and find ingredients in the twenties of the last century, when jazz legend Jerry Roll Morton had a band called The Red Hot Peppers, but Anthony Kiedis of the Chili's did not mention it when he was asked where the name of his band came from.

All he brought out was a flavourless comment about 'a psychedelic bus with the band's name on it'.

Active: 1983-present, USA
