John Frusciante Unlocked Californication Code for Red Hot Chili Peppers

Californication could have been a very different album because the Red Hot Chili Peppers almost couldn't figure out how they wanted the album's title track to sound. In his autobiography, Scar Tissue, singer Anthony Kiedis reveals that he had written lyrics which he thought were some of his best but the band could not agree on how they wanted to music to represent the lyrics. That is, until one day guitarist John Frusciante had an epiphany and came to the studio claiming he had finally figured out something for the band to work with. It's a good thing that he did because according to producer Rick Rubin the band were pretty close to throwing the song out. Instead, it went from the scrap-room floor and became one of the band's career-defining hits.
