"THIS DVD OF THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS IS HORRIBLE. FIRST OF ALL IT IS NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE CHILI'S SO THERE REALLY ISN'T IMPUT FROM THEM AT ALL. JUST A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO EITHER WORKED ON VIDEOS OR MIXED A SONG FOR THEM. THESE PEOPLE ARE IN THE INTERVIEWS. FLEA, ANTHONY & CHAD HAVE MAYBE 5 MINUTES ALL TOGETHER IN THIS WHOLE VIDEO. JOHN IS MENTIONED AND THERE ARE PHOTOS BUT NO JOHN INTERVIEWS. VERY DISSAPOINTING. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE. ANYONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THE CHILI'S AND THEIR MUSIC AND LIFE TOGETHER AS A BAND NEEDS TO BUY THE FUNKY MONKS DVD, OFF THE MAP AND THE GREATEST HITS CD WITH VIDEOS AND WATCH THE FOOTAGE OF THEM ON THE ROAD. THAT IS HOW YOU WILL GET TO KNOW THEM AND THEIR CHEMISTRY TOGETHER. THIS DVD IS MADE BY SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO MAKE SOME POCKET CHANGE FOR THEMSELVES. I WAITED ALL DAY FOR THIS TO BE DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE AND AFTER I SAW THIS DVD I JUST WANTED TO THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW. SO PLEASE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GET TO KNOW THE CHILI'S BUY THE OTHER DVD'S I MENTIONED AND IF YOU WANT TO HEAR AND VIEW A FANTASTIC CONCERT DON'T FORGET ABOUT GETTING YOUR HANDS ON THE SLANE DVD. HAD IT SINCE IT CAME OUT AND I WATCH IT ALMOST EVERYDAY. SO PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP. YOU WILL REGRET IT LIKE I DID. :("

Terrible Biographical DVD. Sorry, but it is awful.

"Here are the virtues that I see in this DVD: there are a few interesting comments made by a very few reminiscing friends and associates. There are a very few scenes with the Peppers speaking.

Now here are the slams:
1. There is random, not Peppers music playing throughout the DVD. Is it Creed? Bad idea.
2. As the commentary talks about the old times in the band, you see imagery of Dave Navarro and later Chili Peppers clips. There is a section that discusses John Frusciante in the band and who do they show images of? Dave Navarro. Nice
3. There are several annoying clips that show Anthony speaking in slow motion, muted.
4. There is about one sentence discussing the success of Blood Sugar Sex Magic.
5. The DVD is filled with stock video clips as opposed to clips of substance.

I don't like to diss but this DVD sucks. If you are a die-hard fan then check it out. No don't. It sucks. It is a problematic production. See for yourself if you insist."

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME/MONEY

"This "documentary" is plain garbage. It is worthless and you are WAY better of buying "Funky Monks" or some official documentary. Like prior people have reviewed, Anthony, Flea, & Chad have a combined at least 5 minutes. That's it. No interviews with anyone else, not even John!. It is pure S***. They mainly interview 3 people the entire time. There isn't even MUSIC by them in here. It's some really crappy background band. It sucks, DO NOT waste your time or money, trust me. I'm a HUGE RHCP fan, and this does nothing to honor them."
