John Kiedis, Anthony's grandfather, from one of his several stints as Mayor of Palm Beach Gardens in Florida. He died in 1984.

Here's something of note from a forum post made (in 2006!) by engineer Ryan Hewitt: a Stadium Arcadium-era track titled "These are the Lines." Working title for a B-side, or the mysterious 38th song from the sessions?

Chad and Dave (and Jimmy Page), at Page's Hollywood Rock Walk of Fame induction, December 1993. Only a few months after Dave joined the band.

I wonder if another certification is due for BSSM. The latest is 25 years old, pre-streaming and pre a hell of a lot of sales. Might be up to 9x platinum by this point! Maybe for the album's 35th anniversary in September this year.

Handwritten note from John, probably intended for the Brown Bunny liner notes, currently for sale on eBay.

A few more interesting docs from the RRHOF: lyric sheets from the "Goldmine" and "Rock & Roll" vocal recording sessions. Seems like they got pretty far in the process with these two!

Two new previously unknown By the Way-era tracks - WHO SONG and CINCINNATI KID - as seen in this document from the recording sessions, courtesy the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. OBSCENE appears to be the correct name for the track known as UPSEEN.

Release day! Always nice to add to the growing list of signatures and memorabilia.

Great to see the extra attention and focus on What Is This thanks to the new Netflix doc. Damn shame none of their work is currently in print. Next step - getting the damn question mark off of the band's Wikipedia page! It's a statement, not a question!

Michael Beinhorn's book about the Mother's Milk sessions will be out next week. Can't wait.

Never seen these before, from the same shoot with Anthony and Ione as the er, much more memorable photo that appears in Scar Tissue. 📸Patricia Steur, 1988

I've seen some bad fakes in my time - this is up there.

HONORA by Flea coming 27 March. Another collab with Thom Yorke, and my (distant) cousin Nick Cave on the Witchita Lineman cover!

Here's a newly shared glimpse of the original flyer from 16/12/82 from Gary Allen, who was the main driving force of the band playing together for the first time. Also shared in full in my book!

My old cat Boo, pictured, used to be obsessed with Oporto (Australian/Portuguese chicken shop) chips. Now I put one on his urn each year on his birthday.

Had no idea Hillel features (quite prominently!) in the 1986 video for Joe Cocker's "Don't You Love Me Anymore?" He didn't play on the actual recording though, so it looks like he was just picked for his look.

Hehe. Road Trippin’ cover location! That’s a real wolf on the real streets of LA, by the way.

ONE HOT MINUTE is 30 years old today. An album, an era, a mood, that continues to grow on me. Maybe one day soon it'll get some of the attention it deserves! I've been toying with writing something long and deep about it - in fact I almost did this year - but hopefully one day.

I have a flyer from John’s first show, in October 1988. Two nice bookends of the first era.

Probably the high point of my collection now: a stage used setlist from the infamous May 7, 1992 performance in Saitama, Japan - John’s final show until 1998.

Early OHM announcement in the British press with wildly early tracklist.

Here's a fun curio: a postcard from the 1940s using the same photo later chosen for the Under the Bridge single cover.

The source supposedly being Anthony himself gave it a lot of credence, but it never sat right with me. 14 years later, I see for the first time a 2011 interview in Rolling Stone India, proving all along that the band had nothing to do with it. Vindication!

North County Times, August 17, 1995. I wonder if they ever identified the guy...

Three different early versions of the BSSM front cover, in varying states of completion.

Amazingly, the real-life location for the pool on the Californication cover has been found by a Redditor. I’ve spent HOURS searching for it over the last few months. And then it just turns up! Drained at the moment, but hopefully some recent pics show up soon.

It’s just a translation of the Guitar Player interview we already have.

Notes from John to... well, maybe himself, maybe the mixing engineer, during the By the Way sessions. Changes, fixes, things we probably wouldn't even notice but that needed to be sorted out before it was done.

Christmas is quickly coming. Need a gift for the RHCP fan in your life? May I humbly suggest OUT IN LA, my book about the band in their first year together. Deep history and a deep love for the band. Available in Portuguese too! 🇧🇷🇵🇹 From all good retailers: linktr.ee/outinla

The extra verse from "One Hot Minute," cut before release. As heard on the Unmastered/Unsequenced and 6.21.95 tapes.

The alternate bridge on the "This is the Place" rough mix. Stripped back to just acoustics in the final version.

Another Rock Band rip - here's the extended intro for "Look Around."

Starting a thread of some RHCP mix differences that have emerged over the years. First up, the "natural" ending for "Breaking the Girl," ripped from the Rock Band videogame.
