Blood Sugar Sex Magik Tour
The Blood Sugar Sex Magik Tour was a concert tour by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers in support of their highly successful 1991 breakthrough album ''Blood Sugar Sex Magik''. The tour had been the band's biggest in their career at the time. Uncomfortable with the group's growing fame, guitarist John Frusciante, who only after 4 1/2 years of being a member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, decided to quit in May 1992. Arik Marshall would replace Frusciante and continue out the remainder of the tour.
==Background==
After many years of hardcore touring and building up a loyal following, the band finally started to generate more attention with ''Mother's Milk'' in 1989. The album brought more television and radio exposure, helping them break through to a much wider audience and garner awareness from major labels. The band was involved in a major bidding war with labels but ultimately decided to sign with Warner Bros. in 1991 to record ''Blood Sugar Sex Magik''. The band and management knew they had a very successful album in their hands and it was evident from the album's first single, "Give It Away" and the even bigger follow-up single, "Under The Bridge". Both singles received heavy airplay on television and radio. Due to the success of these singles, the group began to sell out the majority of their shows. For opening acts at the start of the tour, the Chili Peppers invited up and coming groups such as Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins.These tour dates were landmarks for not only the groups but also for Alternative rock.By year's end all three bands were headlining their own show and dominating television and radio.
At the time the band was riding an all-time high; however, behind the scene, problems between Anthony Kiedis and John Frusciante were starting to escalate. The band was invited to perform on ''Saturday Night Live'' but after the show, Kiedis accused Frusciante of trying to sabotage the performance by playing different notes and singing off key. Frusciante completely denied this but troubles continued to follow the band for the next few months. Frusciante was also now refusing to support the opening acts such as Nirvana, which at one point he claimed to be a fan of but due to Frusciante's attitude and stubbornness he felt the band wasn't worth his time. Years later Frusciante admitted that he was being immature at the time and regretted how selfish he was towards his band and the opening acts.
By the time the band began the Japan leg, tension had started to manifest itself and stress on the group's relationship with each other had grown incredibly. Things had gotten so bad that Frusciante was beginning to isolate himself from everyone, beginning the road towards his 6-year period of living as a virtual recluse. While on tour, John secluded himself with his then-girlfriend, mainly staying backstage. It was in this period of isolation that he began his problems with drugs, specifically heroin and cocaine, which were unknown to the band at the time. On May 7, 1992, Frusciante informed the manager at the time, Lindy Goetz that he was quitting the band. Goetz informed the rest of the band and they urged Frusciante to play the show that night, which they later called one of their worst ever. The band was forced to cancel the rest of their Japanese leg. The band quickly scrambled and put out calls to various guitarists including Dave Navarro, who was going through the breakup of Jane's Addiction and major drug problems. Navarro turned down the band's offer however he would eventually join the band a year later. The band flew guitarist Zander Schloss out to Australia to audition however after a few days of practicing, the band felt the chemistry just wasn't there and decided to cancel the Australian leg of the tour. In June the band hired Arik Marshall to replace Frusciante. Marshall performed his first show with the band on July 4, 1992 and the entire summer was spent with the band headlining the 1992 Lollapalooza tour which further gave a boost to album sales and only made the band bigger. Marshall finished out the remainder of the tour which included various awards shows and European dates in 1993. Following the tour, the band regrouped and attempted to begin writing for the next album however Marshall was fired due to chemistry problems with the other three members. He was briefly replaced by Jesse Tobias, but his tenure didn't last long. Finally, he was replaced with Dave Navarro in 1993.
