"Forsaken" Names

The reason this fan club URL is danicalifornia instead of rhcp or redhotchilipeppers is because people register dA URLs for the hell of it, and never touch them again. As a result, we've compiled a list of "Forsaken" RHCP dA names. We encourage the administration to close these accounts, which are wasting server space:

Vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Michael Balzary [better known as Flea], guitarist Hillel Slovak, and drummer Jack Irons formed the band in 1983.

Today's line-up consists of lead singer Anthony Kiedis, bass guitarist Flea, drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist John Frusciante.
