Watch Red Hot Chili Peppers win their first-ever Grammy, taking home the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal for "Give It Away" at the 1993 Grammys.
By the early 1990s, Red Hot Chili Peppers had established themselves as one of the most unpredictable, exciting bands in rock. Known for their energetic performances and genre-bending sound, the Los Angeles quartet reached global success with their fifth album, 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik.' Released in 1991, the album featured fan favorites including "Under the Bridge," "Suck My Kiss," and the Grammy-winning lead single "Give It Away," the latter of which became one of the band's signature songs.
"Give It Away" expanded the limits of traditional rock music while also emphasizing the powerful chemistry between bandmates Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante, and Chad Smith. Taking the stage to accept the Grammy, lead singer Kiedis offered a memorable approach to his acceptance speech, crediting music itself for shaping his journey: "The only person I would like to thank is Mother Nature for giving this universe music, because without music, I'd be nowhere."
