In April 2006 Radio 1 presented the Red Hot Chili Peppers live from a secret London venue in front of audience of 500 people.
The first half of the show featured this documentary that charts the rise of the band from their roots in the funk metal and skateboard scene of Califiornia in the 1980s to their current position as one of the world's biggest bands.
Hear Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante and Chad Smith talk about the days before the band, the hedonism, their coming together, recording in a haunted house and the return of John to the group.
Contributions come from legendary, reclusive producer Rick Rubin, The Black Eyed Peas, James Brown and the band's mums.
