I don't know who was influence for whole band, but I'm pretty sure that John is influenced by the work of Syd Barrett, the founder of Pink Floyd. He used to play a tribute to him sometimes.
The following bands/people inspired the red hot chili peppers: The Germs, Talking Heads, Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart, Larry Graham & Graham Central Station, The Meters, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Led Zeppelin, Minutemen, Parliament, The Stooges, Funkadelic, fIREHOSE, The Ohio Players, Gang of Four, Curtis Mayfield, George Clinton, Black Flag, Bootsy Collins, Bob Marley, Iggy Pop, Bad Brains
Lead singer Anthony Keidis, bassit Flea, original drummer Jack Irons and original guitarist Hillel Slovak all attend Fairfax high school in Los Angeles, California. After some time under different names they became Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1983.
Slovak would die of a heroin overdose in 1988 and be replaced by John Frusciante.
Irons would leave shortly after Slovaks death and be replaced by Chad Smith.
in a word: heroin
aside from that, they worked extensively with george Clinton of the p-funk all stars in their earlier albums
