Throwback: The Red Hot Chili Peppers-Higher Ground
The Red Hot Chili Peppers covered Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" for their 1989 album, Mother's Milk. Bass player Flea said the band recorded the song as a tribute to Wonder's influence on popular music. Their critically acclaimed version was an example of the funk metal style of the whole album. It was an international hit, and the video was regularly played on MTV. "Higher Ground" was another breakthrough moment for the band and helped Mother's Milk become the album that led them to superstardom. MM was their first to make Gold status, and the commercial success of it allowed them to go on a major tour with a full band and tour bus. In 2003, Mother's Milk was remastered, and six additional songs were added to the CD version. The Red Hot Chili Peppers released their 13th album, Return Of The Dream Canteen, in 2022. 2024, the band will headline the sixth annual Innings Festival in Tempe, Arizona.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside
1999
"Otherside" was released as the third single from Red Hot Chili Peppers' seventh studio album, Californication, and confronts the battles addicts have with their prior addictions. "Otherside" refers to former band member Hillel Slovak, who died of a heroin overdose in 1988. The track was released in Australia and New Zealand in 1999 and was given an international release in January of the following year.
It was highly successful, peaking at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, where it remained at number one for 13 consecutive weeks, one of the longest runs at the top of that chart. It was also a big success in Iceland, where it became the second single from the album to reach number one, and in New Zealand, where it charted at number five.
The gorgeous video was directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris in a black-and-white/monochrome Gothic style similar to Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, all influenced by German Expressionist art. Elements of Cubism and work by the graphic artist M. C. Escher are also seen in the video.
"Otherside" received a total of 76,3% yes votes!
