Product Description
This look at the hard-rocking, funky Red Hot Chili Peppers examines their continued vitality after more than 20 years as a band. Interviews with exband members and musicians who have played and toured with them tell a classic rock and roll story of music, drugs, and death and provide insights into the longevity and ongoing relevance of the Chili Peppers. The band is set in the context of the Los Angeles punk rock scene of the 1980s and 1990s from which they emerged, and how they managed to withstand and ride many other trends in American music, including grunge, hip-hop, and nu metal, is investigated. Many previously unpublished photographs of the band from the private collections of friends and associates are included, as is a complete discography.

After reading Anthony's "Scar Tissue" it's really tough for any other book on rock music to hold up. I thought I'd read "Velvet Groove" to get an outsider's perspective. Very early on in the book I started noticing typos, at least one in every chapter. After awhile it's kind of insulting to the reader. Even the name of the BAND was misspelled once as the Red Hit Chili Peppers (and no it wasn't an intentional thing implying that they had lot's of "hits"). If the book was compelling I could overlook the typos and bad grammar, but this one is really a yawn-fest that is only interesting when interview quotes from Rolling Stone magazine are provided.
In the author's bio it states that "Roach has written over 80 titles and many biographies of rock bands" (I am paraphrasing) It is my opinion that this writer should focus more on quality than quantity and for God's sake hire a proof reader!
