Before they were respected scene elders, all about yoga, meditation, and harnessing the vibrations of the universe in order to bring harmony to a troubled planet, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS were a bunch of cocky, shit-stirring, party-loving, mildly obnoxious Hollywood brats with more energy and testosterone than they knew how to handle. 

That much was already evident when the LA four-piece - then featuring guitarist Jack Sherman and drummer Cliff Martinez alongside founding members and band mainstays Anthony Kieidis and Flea - appeared on entertainment TV show Thicke Of The Night on March 16, 1984, almost five months ahead of the release of their self-titled debut album.

The band would perform two songs on the broadcast, True Men Don'T Kill Coyotes and Get Up And Jump, and conduct a rather chaotic interview with host Alan Thicke.

Watch the quartet going hard and being wild below:
