Red Hot Chili Peppers Californication album cover | |||||||||||||||
Californication is the seventh album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on June 8, 1999, with John Frusciante, their former guitarist from the Blood Sugar Sex Magik era, returning to the band, replacing Dave Navarro, the former guitarist of the alternative band Jane's Addiction. With John once again back in the band, the Red Hot Chili Peppers faced a new musical direction with the subsequent albums. Many fans believe this is the turning point of the band since the Blood Sugar Sex Magik days towards a more mature Red Hot Chili Peppers.
"Californication" produced many staple hits for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, such as "Around the World", "Otherside", "Californication" and the Grammy-award winning "Scar Tissue". Thanks to an incredible longevity on worldwide chart this is currently their best selling album, peaking at #3 on the Billboard 200 and eventually going on to sell roughly 15 million copies world-wide (5,466,575 only in USA at april 2007). The title "Californication" is mistaken as a portmanteau between California and fornication. Band member Anthony Kiedis has mentioned that the album title was chosen for other reasons, and not meant to be related to fornication. In fact, in an MTV interview in 2000, Kiedis said that Californication meant the process in which rock music had started sounding overall more like California rock music, and the process is Californication.
