The Red Hot Chili Peppers: An Oral/Visual History out this/next week – win one!
The time has come! Depending on when and where you order it, the first official Red Hot Chili Peppers’ biography is out on either 15th or 19th October, which are this Friday and next Tuesday. According to what some little birdies said, the book will be just what the doctor ordered in our little community, as it focuses on John’s role in the band a lot, some people said that it was originally intended to be a plaudit.
The book’s name is The Red Hot Chili Peppers: An Oral/Visual History. If you’re ordering it in USA, the shelf date is 19th October. If you’re ordering it in Europe, the shelf date is slightly earlier, 15th October. If you’re ordering from elsewhere, pick whatever suits your fancy.

In both of these cases, there’s a 34% pre-order discount, so hurry up! It might still arrive to you early.
Please, refer to a news story from earlier this year, for a pre-print preview of some pages and photos.
WIN A COPY OF THIS BOOK!
Given how the previous content was about being creative and that resulted in a small number of entries, this one will be relatively simple.
Moderators on Your Forum Is Glued To A Site On Fire and people who already won an award in one of this year’s contents are not allowed to take part this time. Let the others win, too! This time, we’re embracing the wonders of social media to pick the winner.
What do you have to do? PLEASE, READ THE RULES CAREFULLY
- Follow this website on Twitter, if you aren’t doing so already. If you’re not a registered Twitter user, go register now.
- Comment on this news item and tell everyone what’s your most favourite moment in the band’s career featuring John (otherwise it would not make sense, right?). You can link a picture, audio, video or a quote. Share the love for the times we were lucky to witness, twice. When commenting, make sure you leave your REAL email address, otherwise your entry won’t be counted as there wouldn’t be a way to contact you! Also, provide your Twitter username because of the next step.
- Tweet the following, without altering it:

- Do not submit multiple times because there are ways to tell if you’re cheating. Really.
On the 26th October 01st November, all the valid entries will go in the famous Under The Bridge style hat and the winner will be picked, just like in the DVD contest. Also, conscience-wise: if you pre-ordered the book already, do not apply – give a chance to someone who did not. If you still want to answer the question, just clearly state you’re not participating in the competition. Some people might not be able to afford it otherwise, so please think about them.
And this is not the end! Once the book is out, there will be a contest for those of you who bought it, and the award will be something else – the moral of the story is to embrace our community spirit and quality user-generated content, as that is what brought us to where we are now.
Good luck!
*This time, the contest is not sponsored by anyone, as unpleasant real-life circumstances prevented me from contacting the publisher early enough.
