Hillel Slovak
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Hillel Slovak was the guitarist for the rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. He was a close friend of singer Anthony Kiedis during high school, and in 1983, they decided to make a band as a joke. The band was called "Tony Flow and the Majestic Masters of Mayhem.". They played a show, but never took the band seriously. In 1984 he left the Red Hot Chili Peppers to play in his other band "What Is This". He rejoined in 1985 to record "Freaky Styley" and "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" in 1986. He died in 1988 from a fatal drug overdose.
