Jack Sherman (born January 18, 1956) was an American guitarist, best known as the second guitarist to have joined Red Hot Chili Peppers, playing on their debut album, as well as co-writing much of their second album, Freaky Styley.

Career

Sherman joined the Chili Peppers in December 1983, replacing their founding member, Hillel Slovak. Sherman would remain with the band for their first tour in 1984 to support the release of the first album, The Red Hot Chili Peppers. He co-composed material on the debut album as well as songs on the follow-up record, Freaky Styley. Slovak returned to the band, replacing Sherman in early 1985.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame controversy

The Red Hot Chili Peppers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Neither Sherman nor guitarist Dave Navarro, who had each played guitar on one of the band's albums, were inducted. The Hall of Fame stated that this was because only original members, current members and those who played on multiple albums were eligible for induction. Sherman, however, blamed the band's members for the decision, saying "It appeared to be a politically correct way of omitting Dave Navarro and I for whatever reasons they have that are probably the band's and not the Hall's." Sherman also said, "It's really painful to see all this celebrating going on and be excluded. I'm not claiming that I've brought anything other to the band... but to have soldiered on under arduous conditions to try to make the thing work, and I think that's what you do in a job, looking back. And that's been dishonored. I'm being dishonored, and it sucks."
