Do you remember when the Red Hot Chili Peppers made a special guest appearance on MTV’s Remote Control? Do you even remember Remote Control? Well we do, and we loved it. In 1990, members of the Chili Peppers stormed the set as game participants for an entire show. After an aggressive entrance, each of the four band members (with Anthony Kiedis and Flea uniting as a two-headed monster to play together) took seats in those beautiful, comfy, 80’s recliners to start the game. Prepare yourself for some grainy video footage. But it’s worth it. Watch the video below!
Remote Control was a sweet game show that ran on MTV from 1987 – 1990, and was the station’s first venture into game shows. Ken Ober hosted, with Colin Quinn as the announcer and sidekick, often singing and performing skits as clues. A lot of the questions are music based, so it seemed like it might be easy for the band. But they get some wrong. I mean, who’s ready for a snack break, amirite? Click here to read the full story about rock stars who have appeared on various game shows.
