- Some were way wacko crazy, and some were pretty calm.
- Every album is so good.
The funny thing is... (laughing) I was gonna wear
my Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt today.
(laughing)
- (FBE) So now we're gonna show you an image of the band
of what they looked like early on in their career,
and what they look like today.
- Oh my goodness!
- What?
I like the guy that's doing the splits.
- They look kind of weird.
They look funky, sorta.
- They look crazy!
They look like they're just having fun with their lives.
Their personalities never changed.
It looks like they just got older.
- Oh my god! Look at Flea.
They used to be so much crazier,
and then they all got a little older and they're like,
"Okay, let's mellow down a bit."
- (FBE) So finally, recently, when asked about how long
he and the band will be making music, the lead singer Anthony Kiedis
said that he planned to be making music until he dies
and doesn't ever want to stop. - What?!
- So he can't die. (giggling)
- (FBE) A lot of artists will stop making music at some point,
so what do you think about never wanting to stop?
- He has grit.
- It's his decision.
I mean, it's not too bad of a decision if you really like music,
but I think he should quit while he's ahead
because his music isn't that good.
- I do music and I never want to stop.
That's really brave!
All bands should do that.
- I actually think that's pretty cool because some bands,
they get really popular, then people,
there's still a good fan base for them,
but they don't really release as much music or really do anything.
- There's just a lot of great bands that stopped playing for different reasons,
but Red Hot Chili Peppers, they'll keep going, no matter what,
and that's awesome.

Thank you so much for watching this "red hot" episode
of Kids React, but what band should we cover with the kids next?
You can go ahead and "pepper" those into the comments.
I should probably "chili" with all the puns, shouldn't I?
