UNIVERSALLY SPEAKING Discovering the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ‘Secret’ Formula for Composing Commercially Successful Music UNIVERSALLY SPEAKING Discovering the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ‘Secret’ Formula for Composing Commercially Successful Music Diplomarbeit Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Magisters der Philosophie An der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz vorgelegt von Daniel THALLINGER Am Institut fur Anglistik Begutachter: Ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr.phil. Hugo Keiper Graz, Juni 2017 Acknowledgements Aus tiefstem Herzen danke ich meiner gesamten Familie – vor allem meiner Mutter und meinem Vater, die immer zu mir stehen und das Beste in ihrem Sohn sehen. Dank der liebevollen Un- terstützung meiner Eltern war es mir möglich, mich in den verschiedensten Bereichen zu ent- falten und ein hoffnungsvoller, positiver Mensch zu bleiben. Herzlichen Dank will ich auf diesem Wege auch an meine besten Freunde Dronelli aka Busen- freund, Soul und Kris richten sowie auch an alle Menschen, die mir ihre Aufmerksamkeit, Hilfe, Freundschaft und mehr schenkten. Allen Professoren und Professorinnen, die mich auf meinem Weg begleiteten, möchte ich hier- mit auch offiziell danken. Besonderen Dank lasse ich an dieser Stelle meinem Diplomarbeits- betreuer, Prof. Dr. Hugo Keiper, zukommen. Er nahm mich und mein musikalisches Diplom- arbeitsthema auf bzw. an und schenkte mir so die Möglichkeit, mich mit einem Thema zu be- schäftigen, das mich bis in die Haarspitzen elektrisiert. Neben seiner fachlichen Kompetenz weiß er mit einem sympathischen Lächeln innerhalb eines Augenschlags für eine entspannte Atmosphäre zu sorgen. Auch dem großartigen Prof. Dr. Lieb schenke ich meinen tiefsten Dank. Sein offenes Ohr für jegliche Anliegen, seine fachliche Kompetenz sowie auch sein verständ- nisvolles Wesen waren mir eine große Unterstützung im Laufe des Studiums. In der Art und Weise eines Walt Whitman möchte ich abschließend meinen Dank auch dem noch so kleinsten Atom schenken, das mein liebgewonnenes Universum zusammenhält.

These different forms of language take on different roles: our thoughts, for example, are essential with regard to different activities such as planning, organizing or dreaming, and without the language of signs, traffic lights would not be understood by traffic participants. Taking a closer look at the language of music, parallels can be found concerning the aforemen- tioned different forms of language. The most important fact about any form of language, how- ever, is that it can be understood by people. With regard to a song, this means that all of its elements have to be comprehensible

Californication recreates an authentic and live experience that is, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Chili Peppers themselves first came to prominence 20 years ago by fusing funk, rock and rap music styles through their many ground­breaking albums. A typical 90 minute show performed by Californication includes all the big hits and smash anthems that have made the Chili Peppers such an enduring global act. From their break­through cover of Stevie Wonder’s Higher Ground to the multi­platinum singles Give it Away, Under the Bridge and Breaking the Girl; as well as Aeroplane, Scar Tissue, Otherside and Californication; fans of the Chili Peppers’ music will never walk away disappointed. Fronted by Johnny, the vocalist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Show captures all the stage antics and high energy required to emulate Anthony Kiedis, while the rest of the band carry out the very essence of the Red Hot Chili Peppers through the attention of musical detail and a stunning visual performance worthy of the famous LA­based quartet.
