Before the album was released, guitarist Hillel Slovak passed away on June 25, 1988 which caused drummer Jack Irons to leave the band. Drummer Chad Smith and guitarist John Frusciante replaced them. Originally the album was planned as The Rockin' Freakapotamus, but after Slovak's death the recordings were stopped. Now "The Rockin' Freakapotamus" is the name of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' fanclub.
