Red Hot Chili Peppers - Rock Your Socks Off - DVD

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are rock pioneers. The Southern California quartet was the first to combine R&B with rap and heavy metal and gain acceptance on mainstream radio. Their latest album fueled a two and-a-half year tour that sold out all over the world.

Rock Your Socks Off traces the sometimes rocky history of this band of Southern California funksters. In an exclusive interview with Blackie Dammett, the father of lead singer Anthony Kiedis, the former actor reveals how he shared drugs with his son, and raised him in a show biz culture of relentless partying.

Rock Your Socks Off features a never seen before video of a two-year-old Anthony starring in his father's UCLA film school productions. You'll also learn how Flea and Anthony first met, and you'll be surprised to learn what instrument Flea was really interested in.

Friends of the Peppers relieve the early days of the underground Los Angeles club scene and share never heard before stories about how, and why, the gym socks first made an appearance.

Rock Your Socks Off examines how heroin almost tore the band apart. You'll hear first hand accounts of the tragic overdose death of Hillel Slovak, and the subsequent mental breakdown of the band's drummer. Pepper pals also share their views of the rise and fall and then the rise again of John Fruschante. It's a must see for funksters everywhere!
