About One Hot Minute in brief
One Hot Minute is the sixth studio album by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was released on September 12, 1995 by Warner Bros. Records. It is the only studio album to feature Dave Navarro as the band’s guitarist. The album sold more than two million copies and was certified multi-platinum, and reached number four on the US Billboard 200. The band’s previous album Blood Sugar Sex Magik was an instant hit, selling more than seven million copies in the United States, and turned the band into an international sensation. Guitarist John Frusciante quit the band in 1992, during the Japanese leg of their tour, and became a recluse. Navarro was fired in 1998 due to his drug use. Kiedis had slipped from five years of sobriety and began reusing narcotics he’d sworn never to use again. He resumed addictions to cocaine and heroin in 1994 after being sober for more than five years, and approached his lyricism with a reflective outlook on drugs and their harsh effects. It also spawned three hit singles: \”Warped\”, \”My Friends\” and \”Aeroplane\”. Nevertheless, it was considered a commercial disappointment, because it sold fewer than half as many copies as Blood Sugar sex Magik and received much less acclaim. It’s the first time the band has recorded with any other member besides Flea on any of the albums besides the first two albums, and it’s the only time they’ve recorded with all four members of the band on the same album at the same time, except for the first few songs on the second album, “The Red Hot Chilli Peppers” The album was produced by Rick Rubin, who had also produced the band’s prior album, Blood sugar sex magik.
In June 1994, the band entered The Sound Factory, a recording studio in Los Angeles, to begin recording its next album. In late January 1995, when he finally finished recording his vocals, the rest of the recording was completed within the next month. The songwriter’s block that was holding Kied is back from coming up with lyrics, however, was holding the band back from writing any more songs besides “My Friends” and “Warping” The band took a short break from recording to perform at Woodstock ’94, the first show Navarro played with the Peppers, and after resuming production, Navarro questioned why such a considerable amount of jamming was involved with the album’s conception. After several months of unsuccessfully looking for a suitable guitarist, drummer Chad Smith suggested Navarro, who was busy recording Deconstruction with Eric Avery following the 1991 breakup of Jane’s Addiction. He eventually accepted the position after productive jam sessions, and the band recorded the album in June 1994. In December of that year, KiedIs made a trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan in December for Christmas, where his family realized he’d resumed an active addiction once again. He made it a anomaly when it came to song writing, even though he’d known Hillel Slovak for years.
