Flea's bass style is an amalgamation of punk rock, funk and blues, borrowing from artists such as Bootsy Collins of Parliament-Funkadelic and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. The groove-heavy, low-tuned melodies, composed through either normal finger style or slapping, have contributed to the RHCP's signature style. While Flea's slap bass style was prominent in earlier albums, later albums (post Mother's Milk) have more melodic basslines. The guitar styles of the four guitarists that have recorded albums with the group share common traits, featuring distorted, sharp sound with strong range. Replacement players appear to have tried to stay as close as possible to original guitarist Hillel Slovak's style with its heavy blues and funk elements. Current guitarist John Frusciante brought a more melodic, textured, and deep sound; Dave Navarro focused on a style rooted in heavy metal, progressive, and psychedelic rock. Kiedis provides a range of vocal styles for RHCP songs, with his style of rapping and spoken verse (the latter being characteristic of his vocals up to Blood Sugar s*x Magik) complemented with more traditional vocals have helped the band maintain a relatively consistent style. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have written several songs addressing political topics. The song 'Johnny Kick a Hole in the Sky' from Mother's Milk is about the plight and affliction of the Native Americans, and this particular song made the public see Kiedis as part-Native[citation needed], 'I was born in a land, I don't think you understand god d*mn what I am I'm a native of this place.' The song 'Green Heaven' from Red Hot Chili Peppers discusses police brutality and racism in America. 'The Power of Equality' also speaks out against racism, and the lyrics are very similar in style to those of rap group Public Enemy, who are referenced in the song. 'Californication' is critical of globalization. The song 'Pea' from the alb*m One Hot Minute is about a personal experience Flea had being harassed by rednecks. *
