Red Hot Chili Peppers have taken issue with the marketing behind Netflix’s “The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers” documentary. According to them, the project was meant to be a film about late guitarist Hillel Slovak rather than a general band documentary.
The group said the following:
“Dear people of the universe,
About a year ago, we were asked to be interviewed for a documentary about Hillel Slovak. He was a founding member of the group, a great guitarist, and friend. We agreed to be interviewed out of love and respect for Hillel and his memory.
However, this documentary is now being advertised as a Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary, which it is not. We had nothing to do with it creatively. We have yet to make a Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary. The central subject of this current Netflix special is Hillel Slovak and we hope it sparks interest in him and his work.”
As previously reported, “The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers” will hit Netflix on March 20.
