First time I heard of the Red Hot Chili Peppers...

...was this video from 1984. Not sure if this appearance at New Music Seminar 5 lead to them being signed, or they were already signed by then. Nonetheless, I remember watching this way back when and going "damn, this is great!"

thats rad.
I remember they showed this on much or new music or something as well up here.
Oh, and seeing them on Thrashin'
Cosine.
I loved the RHCP in junior high. Maybe I still do, but I think I got tired of them.
on this show.
starring.
really?
But yeah Chilis are cool as shit although it might not be cool to say it, I love these dudes
In the mid 80's BET used to show a lot of rock videos that I guess some PD or more likely record label probably made them play in order to get their hands on the more in demand stuff. The weirdest one that I remember being in the rotation was the heavy metal band Autograph, this was on every afternoon for like a month and it made absolutely no sense why it would be on BET.
You mean the Positive Mental Octopus?
The first time i saw them was on a video collage MTV showed on their video awards showcasing atl-rock groups.
I remember first seeing Minute Men, Killing Joke and others in that that as well.
I was never a big fan of RHCP though. A few tracks here and there are fine I guess.
Always wanted to check that movie, never did.
Interesting connection.
I vividly remember my first exposure to RHCP.
Was really big into Aerosmith in the 80s (h8 all you want) and Steven Tyler and Joe Perry were guest hosting on MTV and they were both raving about them and played a video from Freaky Styley. Went and bought the tape the next day.
it's soooo well done, here's the torrent:

Yupp, like i said, dude was in the Jazz scene. A Lot of post punk/new wave musicians played jazz for kicks. The more talented one's anyways.
