- Red Hot ChiliPeppers (@ChiliPeppers) August 22, 2020Sherman acted as a kind of " transitional guitarist" for the band. He took the place of guitarist Hillel Slovak , who temporarily left the rock band in 1984. After he returned a year later, Sherman had to leave. For the third record "Mother's Milk" from 1989 he was hired again as an accompanist . When the “Red Hot Chili Peppers” was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, Sherman was not considered because he was neither a founding member nor a current member at the time. He is said to have said that he felt "dishonored" .
