Red Hot Chili Peppers Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

A Red Hot Chili Peppers quiz is really a bass quiz, because Flea's slap-and-pop names most of the catalog. Guess the Red Hot Chili Peppers song from 'Give It Away', 'By the Way', 'Suck My Kiss' and the Stevie Wonder cover 'Higher Ground' before Anthony Kiedis even sings. The catch is the ballads: 'Under the Bridge', 'Scar Tissue', 'Otherside' and 'Californication' pull the funk back for John Frusciante's guitar, so test your trivia and see how well you really know Red Hot Chili Peppers.

🎵 Tahukah kamu? Fakta tentang artis

Di balik reff paling jelas tersembunyi pilihan produksi, video musik, dan kebiasaan mendengarkan yang membuat lagu-lagu ini cocok untuk kuis.

Flea, born Michael Balzary, started out on trumpet and studied jazz, and that background shaped the funk basslines that anchor most of the band's songs.
'Higher Ground', one of their first hits, is a cover of a Stevie Wonder song rather than an original.
Anthony Kiedis wrote 'Under the Bridge' about loneliness and addiction in Los Angeles, and it became their biggest hit despite sounding nothing like their funk.
'Stadium Arcadium' from 2006 was a 28-track double album that debuted at number one and won the Grammy for Best Rock Album.
Guitarist John Frusciante has left and rejoined more than once, returning again in 2019, and the band entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.

The basslines that name the song for you

Open with the funk singles. 'Around the World', 'Can't Stop', 'Give It Away', 'Aeroplane' and 'By the Way' lead on Flea's slap bass, and most players lock them in before Anthony Kiedis starts singing. If a clip kicks off with a funk bassline, start here.

The ballads where the funk drops out

The ballads are where a Chili Peppers quiz turns. 'Under the Bridge', 'Scar Tissue', 'Otherside' and 'Californication' lean on John Frusciante's guitar and melody, with the funk pulled back. Anyone guessing by the bassline alone can miss the band's biggest songs entirely.

The covers and soundtrack one-offs

Then there are the odd ones out. 'Higher Ground' is a Stevie Wonder cover, 'Love Rollercoaster' came from a movie soundtrack, and the fan-favorite 'Soul to Squeeze' first surfaced as a B-side. A complete quiz digs past the studio albums for these.

The Frusciante-era album cuts only fans place

This is where obsessives pull clear. 'Parallel Universe', 'This Velvet Glove', 'Wet Sand', 'Dosed' and 'Slow Cheetah' come from the Frusciante years, buried on records fans know track by track. Name these before the chorus and you are guessing at a level few reach.
