The following is a complete chronology of the various line-ups of alternative rock music group Red Hot Chili Peppers. Red Hot Chili Peppers (originally "Tony Flow and the Miraculous Masters of Mayhem"[1]) formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, California, by several Fairfax High School alumni, and released their first album in 1984. The band's first highly successful album, Mother's Milk, was released in 1989.[2] Blood Sugar Sex Magik was released two years later. "Give It Away", a song on the album, was the band's first Grammy winner.[3] In 1999, the band released Californication, their highest selling album to date, with 15 million copies sold worldwide.[4]
