The Red Hot Chili Peppers don’t mind getting naked for pictures, on stage and Flea usually only wears a pair of tighty whities when performing. For the cover of their “The Abbey Road E.P.”, The Peppers, like The Beatles, depicts the four bandmembers walking across a zebra crossing in single file, the twist being that they are all naked except for white tube socks covering their genitals.
Here’s a few other photos of The Peppers donning their trademarked “Sock On Cocks”…
Wearing only socks in this manner was something they regularly employed in their stage shows at the time. They bring it back live every once in a while. Here’s a clip of them playing “Right On Time” from the Californication tour on June 23, 2000, Memorial Stadium, Seattle Washington.
Check out the nice The Clash “London Calling” intro to “Right On Time”
And Anthony Kiedis in a jock strap?
