Arik Marshall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arik Marshall is an American musician, who originally played guitar in the band Marshall Law with his brother, Lonnie Marshall.
He joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1992 to replace John Frusciante. He played the Lollapalooza festival with the band in 1992, the year when the band wore "flames" on their heads. Marshall also appeared with the band in the Simpsons episode "Krusty Gets Kancelled" and both the "Breaking the Girl" and "If You Have to Ask" music videos, even though he didn't play on either song. Marshall left the Chili Peppers in 1993 and was replaced by Jesse Tobias. It is also stated in Anthony Kiedis' biography that Marshall took awards for the Blood Sugar Sex Magik album, after John Frusciante left the band.
Arik now plays in Macy Gray's band. Arik and brother Lonnie are currently working on a new Arik Law album produced by Stone Gossard guitarist of Pearl Jam.
