While Kiedis, Flea, and Smith enjoyed their newfound success, guitarist Music/JohnFrusciante (21 years old at the time, eight years younger than the rest of the members) felt ostracised due to the constant pressures to perform better. He hated performing live and began sabotaging some of their performances, using hard drugs, and drifting apart from the rest of the members. He left the band mid-tour in early 1992 (causing almost all of their Japanese tour dates to get cancelled), forcing the band to consider numerous guitarists before settling on Music/JanesAddiction guitarist Dave Navarro. Frusciante later returned to the band in 1998 for the release of ''Music/{{Californication}}''.

*** Kiedis references himself (the lyric "''Yo Swan hello chip''" is a reference to his moniker, "Antwaan the Swan"), and some songs the Chilis made on their first album ("''Singing a song about what true men don't do/Killing another creature that's kind of blue''" are references to the songs "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" and "Green Heaven," about dolphins).

*** He also references TrumanCapote, MikeTyson, {{Peanuts}}, RobertDeNiro, CharlesBukowski, and... you get the idea.

While Kiedis, Flea, and Smith enjoyed their new-found success, guitarist Music/JohnFrusciante (21 years old at the time, eight years younger than the rest of the members) hated their popularity and felt ostracised due to the constant pressures to perform better. He left the band mid-tour in early 1992, forcing the band to consider numerous guitarists before settling on Music/JanesAddiction guitarist Dave Navarro.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In the episode ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E22KrustyGetsKancelled Krusty Gets Cancelled]]'' the band makes a guest appearance. Krusty wants the Red Hot Chili Peppers [[{{Bowdlerize}} to change one of their lyrics]] in "Give It Away". They refuse at first, but when Krusty suggests to change, "What I got/You gotta get/And put it in you" to "What I'd like/Is I'd like to/Hug and kiss you", they warm up to the idea. [[note]]This is a parody of an incident of [[Series/TheEdSullivanShow Ed Sullivan]] asking Music/TheRollingStones to change "Lets Spend The Night Together" (originally from the US version of ''Music/BetweenTheButtons'') to "Let's Spend Some Time Together" (as "spend the night" was seen as too sexually suggestive at the time). Music/MickJagger didn't warm up to the change, but he reluctantly accepted. During the performance however, Jagger and Bill Wyman were clearly shown eye-rolling when the chorus came. A similar incident occurred when Music/TheDoors appeared: Sullivan asked Morrison to change a line in "Light My Fire" (originally from ''Music/TheDoorsAlbum'') from 'girl, we couldn't get much higher' to 'girl, we couldn't get much better' fearing that the line "higher" would be seen as condoning drug use; unlike the Stones, Morrison sang the original lyrics on air. As a result, The Doors did not appear on the show again, prompting Morrison's reply of "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment We just did the Sullivan Show]]"[[/note]]

It was the first Chili Peppers album produced by the legendary Music/RickRubin, who remained their producer until 2011, after the release of their tenth album ''I'm With You''.

!!Members

* Anthony Kiedis (vocalist)
* Music/JohnFrusciante (guitarist, backing vocals)
* Michael "Flea" Balzary (bassist, backing vocals)
* Chad Smith (drummer)

* BlackSheepHit: "Under the Bridge" was so different from the rest of the songs on the album, it almost didn't make it to the final product. Thankfully, Rick Rubin convinced the members to continue it.
** "Soul to Squeeze" didn't even make it onto the album, because it was replaced by "Under the Bridge." Still, it became a crucial hit and was even featured on the band's ''Greatest Hits'' album.
* BSide: Songs such as "Fela's Cock," "Castles Made of Sand" and "Little Miss Lover" (Music/JimiHendrix covers), "Search and Destroy" (Music/IggyPop cover), and "Sikamikanico." "Search and Destroy" was featured on Series/BeavisAndButthead (along with "Breaking the Girl"), and "Sikamikanico" was featured on Film/WaynesWorld.

* GaiasLament: Lampshaded in "Righteous and the Wicked.”

* LiteraryAllusionTitle: "If You Have to Ask" is a reference to a famous quote by Music/LouisArmstrong; when Armstrong was asked what jazz is, he replied, "If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know."
* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: The band produced songs as diverse as the SexGod anthem "Sir Psycho Sexy" and the FunkMetal "Righteous and the Wicked" to the OdeToSobriety "Under the Bridge," the GriefSong "My Lovely Man" (dedicated to ex-guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died of a heroin overdose in 1988) and the BreakUpSong "I Could Have Lied."
* NonappearingTitle: "Mellowship Slinky," "Funky Monks," and "The Greeting Song."
** Funky Monks was a title the band members were given because they rarely stepped outside during the recording of the album. Not only did it become the name of a song, it became the name of the documentary about their recording process.
* {{Sampling}}: "Give it Away" interpolates Music/BlackSabbath's "Sweet Leaf" at the end of it. An intentional Shout-Out on Frusciante's behalf.
* TroubledProduction: Largely averted, thanks to the artistic freedom Rick Rubin allowed the band members in The Mansion. However, Rubin wasn't keen on keeping "Power of Equality" on the album (which drew heat from Anthony until it was finally put on). He also forced Anthony to write "The Greeting Song," about picking up girls with a Chevy, a song which the singer hates to this day.
* TrashCanBand: The bridge for "Breaking the Girl" actually consisted of multiple takes of the band slamming garbage they found at a nearby dumpster.
* WordSaladTitle: "Mellowship Slinky in B Major." ''Mellowship'' isn't even a word, ''Slinky'' doesn't appear anywhere in the song, and the song is in D Minor.

It was the first Chili Peppers album produced by the legendary Music/RickRubin, who remained their producer until 2011, after the release of their tenth album ''I'm With You''. The band recorded it in The Mansion, a recording studio that HarryHoudini used to live in (and is now Rick Rubin's home). They claimed that it was haunted, with the supposed ghosts in the mansion inspiring them to continue work; drummer Chad Smith, who was too spooked to live in the house, decided instead to commute to the recording sessions each day. While this statement is pretty suspect, the band was indeed profoundly creative during this time, producing a diverse array of hit songs.

It has sold over 13 million copies and helped fuel the revival of AlternativeRock, along with albums such as Music/{{Nirvana}}'s Music/{{Nevermind}} and Music/GunsNRoses's Music/UseYourIllusion Part II.

Some people consider this to be the band's MagnumOpus. The hit singles from the album included the aforementioned "Under the Bridge" and "Give it Away" along with "Suck My Kiss," "Breaking the Girl," and "If You Have to Ask." In 1993, the band released an album outtake during the ''BSSM'' sessions called "Soul to Squeeze," thanks to its inclusion the film Film/{{Coneheads}}. In addition, a documentary showing the band working on the album in The Mansion, called ''Funky Monks'', was released. The avant-garde music video for "Give It Away" won a couple of MTV video awards, and [[Magazine/RollingStone Rolling Stone Magazine]] listed it as the #310 best album of all time.

* CoverVersion: "They're Red Hot" by Music/RobertJohnson closes this album. It's unclear why, since most fans agree that closing the album with the sobering funk jam at the end of "Sir Psycho Sexy" would have been the more clear option.

* BSides: Songs such as "Fela's Cock," "Castles Made of Sand" and "Little Miss Lover" (Music/JimiHendrix covers), "Search and Destroy" (Music/IggyAndTheStooges cover), and "Sikamikanico."
