RoXy’s Rock Rewind

BACK IN 1991 THE FUNKY ROCKERS THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS RELEASED THEIR BREAK OUT ALBUM BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK AND TOOK TO TOURING THE GLOBE! AND ON THIS DATE IN 1992 IN TOKYO JAPAN, THE PEPPERS 22 YEAR OLD GUITARIST, JOHN FRUSCIANTE HAS AN EARLY MORNING MELTDOWN DUE TO THE PRESSURES OF NEARLY INSTANT FAME AND DRUG USE AND DEMANDS TO GO HOME, IMMEDIATELY! THE BAND CONVINCES FRUSCIANTE TO PLAY THAT NIGHT, AND HE DID, BUT THEN WENT HOME. THE 2 REMAINING JAPAN SHOWS AND THE AUSTRALIAN LEG OF THE TOUR ARE POSTPONED WHILE THEY SCRAMBLE TO FIND A WORTHY REPLACEMENT AND THAT DDN’T HAPPEN TIL JULY OF THE SAME YEAR WHEN THEY RECRUITED DAVE NAVARRO TO SIT IN AT LOLLAPALOOZA AND HE STAYED ON AS THE PERMANENT GUITARIST FOR 6 YEARS WHEN FRUSCIANTE DECIDED TO MAKE SOME LIFE CHANGES LIKE GOING TO REHAB, GETTING CLEAN AND REJOINING THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS IN 2009, LEAVING AGAIN IN 2009 FOR SIDE PROJECTS AND REJOINED YET AGAIN BACK IN LATE 2019… TODAY’S ROCK REWIND IS THE SINGLE FROM THE ALBUM BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK THAT HELPED THE PEPPERS ENTER THE MAINSTREAM AND SENT JOHN FRUSCIANTE INTO A DOWNWARD SPIRAL…IT’S “UNDER THE BRIDGE”…ON 105.7 THE X IN THE 5 O CLOCK FREAK OUT!
