Slovak’s death inspired Kiedis to write the lyrics for the song “Under the Bridge.” passed away in 1988 of an overdose of heroin. The death of Slovak inspired Kiedis to pen lyrics for the hit song “Under the Bridge.”

Kiedis was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Margaret “Peggy” (Noble) and actor John Michael Kiedis, known professionally as Blackie Dammett. His paternal grandfather’s family emigrated from Lithuania in the early 1900s; the remainder of his ancestry includes Irish, English, French, Mohican and Dutch. In 1966, when he was three years old, his parents divorced and he was then raised by his mother in Grand Rapids. His mother later remarried and had two more children, Anthony’s half sisters. Each summer, he would visit his father in Hollywood for two weeks, a time during which the two would bond. He idolized his father and recalled, “Those trips to California were the happiest, most carefree, the-world-is-a-beautiful-oyster times I’d ever experienced.” In 1974, when Kiedis was twelve years old, he moved to Hollywood to live with his father full-time.

Following the group’s first show at The Rhythm Lounge, the owner of the bar asked them to return, but with two songs instead of one. After several more shows, and the addition of several songs to their repertoire, the band’s name was changed to Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band’s concert repertoire grew to ten songs as a result of months of playing at local nightclubs and bars. At a performance at a strip club in Hollywood called Kit Kat Club, the band members performed wearing only socks on their penises, an idea formed by Kiedis. This gained the band notoriety, and club owners even began booking the group on the condition that they would perform in this manner. The Red Hot Chili Peppers entered Bijou Studios to record a demo tape and subsequently secured a record deal with EMI. Irons and Slovak, however, decided to leave the Red Hot Chili Peppers in order to pursue a “more serious” future with their band Anthym, which by this time had been renamed What Is This? Kiedis ultimately respected the decision, but felt the band would be lost without them. Kiedis and Flea hired drummer Cliff Martinez from The Weirdos and guitarist Jack Sherman to fill Iron’s and Slovak’s places, respectively. Andy Gill, formerly of Gang of Four, agreed to produce their first album, 1984’s The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Gill and Sherman clashed with Kiedis and Flea; they continuously argued over music style, sound, and the album’s production. Sherman was fired from the band following the tour and replaced by a returning Slovak.

Funk musician George Clinton was hired to produce the band’s second album, Freaky Styley, as Slovak returned on guitar. The strong chemistry between Clinton and the Chili Peppers was felt instantly. Freaky Styley was released in August 1985. It received only a bit more attention than The Red Hot Chili Peppers with roughly 75,000 copies sold by year’s end. The band hired Michael Beinhorn, their last resort among potential producers, to work on their next album. What Is This? had finally disbanded, and Irons returned to the Chili Peppers in mid-1986 after Martinez was fired. Flea, Slovak and Kiedis especially were involved in heavy drug use and their relationships became strained. Flea recalled that “it began to seem ugly to me and not fun; our communication was not healthy”. Kiedis became dependent on heroin, leaving Flea and Slovak to work on much of the album’s material by themselves. Both Kiedis and Slovak struggled with debilitating heroin addictions, which grew worse as the band was preparing to record The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. Due to his addiction, Kiedis lacked the motivation to contribute to the band musically, and appeared at rehearsal “literally asleep”. He was asked to leave the band in order to undergo drug rehabilitation. During that time, the band won the LA Weekly Band of the Year award, which prompted Kiedis to quit using heroin cold turkey. He visited his mother in Michigan for guidance, who drove him to drug rehabilitation immediately after picking him up from the airport upon seeing his unhealthy appearance. Kiedis checked into a Salvation Army rehabilitation clinic in Grand Rapids, an experience which he initially detested until he noted that the other people in the clinic were understanding of his struggles and were trying to help him. He moved in with his mother after twenty days at the clinic, a time which marked the first time he was completely abstinent from drugs since he was eleven years old. After Kiedis completed his stint in rehabilitation, he felt a “whole new wave of enthusiasm” due to his sobriety and wrote the lyrics to a new song titled “Fight Like a Brave” on the flight home.

His father was a struggling actor who sold drugs, which had a significant impact on Kiedis, as the two would often use marijuana and cocaine together. Kiedis accidentally tried heroin for the first time at age 14, mistaking the substance for cocaine. Through his father Blackie, Kiedis, who worked under the stage name of Cole Dammett, landed his first acting role appearing as Sylvester Stallone’s character’s son in the 1978 film, F.I.S.T. That same year he would land two more acting jobs, one being on an ABC Afterschool Special and the other an appearance in the film, Jokes My Folks Never Told Me.

He tried to get clean after Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Hillel Slovak died of a heroin overdose while speedballing on June 25, 1988, saying he would never shoot up again. He entered rehab and ended up staying clean for five years, but he relapsed in 1994, causing a major delay in the release of the band’s 1995 album, One Hot Minute, and he kept using on and off over the next six years.

Although Kiedis had recently become clean, his withdrawal symptoms increased and affected his musical contributions to the group. After fifty days of sobriety, Kiedis decided to take drugs again as a one-time attempt to celebrate his new music, which led to his resumed addiction. The recording process for the album became difficult as Kiedis would often disappear to seek drugs. Producer Michael Beinhorn recalled that “There were points in pre-production where I really thought the record wasn’t gonna get made.” Kiedis felt “excruciating pain and guilt and shame” when he would miss a recording session so he would try to write lyrics while searching for drugs; although the band members were upset by his drug use and frequent disappearances, they were impressed with his musical output at the time.
