Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Red Hot Chili PeppersBand Name Origins:
- Contrary to popular belief, the band was NOT named after Chilli Willy And The Red Hot Peppers; as they didn't even know that such a band existed until after they had been called Red Hot Chili Peppers for quite a while. Chilli Willy did attempt to sue RHCP for stealing their name. This is discussed in Anthony Kiedis' autobiography, "Scar Tissue". Submitted by: d
- The band was formerly known as Tony Flow And The Miraculously Majestic Masters Of Mayhem. But the name was too long to be well known, so they decided to change it. When they had to perform but didn't know a new name yet they saw a flyer of a band called Chili Willy And The Red Hot Peppers. They changed it and The Red Hot Chili Peppers were born.
