Red Hot Chili Peppers gave concertgoers an unparalleled trip back to the 90s over the weekend when they launched into Nirvana’s unofficial anthem of grunge, Smells Like Teen Spirit, performing at a benefit concert (Oct 29) for the Silverlake Academy of Music in LA, co-founded by Flea in 2001.
The funk legends closed the show hollowed track with Anthony Kiedis singing the verse and guitarist John Frusciante covering the iconic chorus. Watch below.
