Californication is the seventh studio album by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was released on June 8, 1999, on Warner Bros. Records and was produced by Rick Rubin. Californication marked the return of John Frusciante, who had previously appeared on Mother's Milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magik, to replace Dave Navarro as the band's guitarist. Frusciante's return was credited with changing the band's sound altogether, producing a notable shift in style from the music recorded with Navarro. The album's subject material incorporated various sexual innuendos commonly associated with the band, but also contained more varied themes than previous outings, including lust, death, contemplations of suicide, California, drugs, globalization, and travel. Californication is the Chili Peppers' most commercially successful studio release, with over 16 million copies sold worldwide,[1] and more than 5 million in the United States alone.[2] As of 2002, the album had sold over 4 million copies in Europe.[3] The record produced several hits for the band, including Otherside, Californication and the Grammy Award-winning Scar Tissue. Californication peaked at number three on the U. S. Billboard 200. The record marked a significant change in style for the band: Rolling Stone's Greg Tate noted that while all previous Chili Peppers projects have been highly spirited, Californication dares to be spiritual and epiphanic.[4] Background Guitarist John Frusciante left the band in the middle of a tour in 1992, which promoted their critically acclaimed album Blood Sugar Sex Magik.[5] It took over a year for the band to find a new guitarist with whom to record officially. Dave Navarro, formerly of Jane's Addiction, was invited to join the Chili Peppers after Arik Marshall, who had finished the remaining tour dates for Blood Sugar Sex Magik, was fired.[6] Navarro influenced the band's.
