The legendary producer was honoured with the Musical Excellence Award at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with Neil Young delivering his induction speech.

To celebrate the occasion, the Chili Peppers took to the stage to perform their 1991 hit ‘Give It Away’, taken from the Rubin-produced album ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magik’.

No entanto, todos os quatro membros da banda – Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante e Chad Smith – apareceram usando perucas longas e cinzentas, bigodes falsos espessos e óculos de sol para se assemelharem à aparência distinta do produtor.

Young, who has known Rubin for decades, paid tribute to the producer’s ability to create an environment in which artists can focus entirely on their music.

The pair previously collaborated on Young and Crazy Horse’s 2022 album ‘World Record’, which they co-produced at Rubin’s Shangri-La studio in Malibu.

Rubin was recognised in the Musical Excellence category, which celebrates musicians, producers and songwriters whose work has had a major impact on popular music.

Um dos produtores mais influentes das últimas quatro décadas, Rubin co-fundou a Def Jam Recordings em 1984 e ajudou a moldar as primeiras carreiras de artistas de hip‑hop, incluindo Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Run‑DMC e Public Enemy.

Seu trabalho, posteriormente, se expandiu pelo rock, metal, country e pop, produzindo discos para artistas como Slayer, Johnny Cash, System Of A Down e Adele.

Rubin’s relationship with the Chili Peppers began with 1991’s ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magik’. He went on to produce some of their most successful albums, including ‘Californication’, ‘By The Way’ and ‘Stadium Arcadium’.

The Chili Peppers’ latest appearance follows their recent Hollywood charity performance, where they revisited songs from their early years with late founding guitarist Hillel Slovak for the first time in decades.

Elsewhere at last night’s ceremony, Oasis were inducted by actor Bob Odenkirk, while Joy Division and New Order were honoured with a speech from Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor and performances featuring Deftones, Lauren Mayberry and Peter Hook.

Highlights from the induction ceremony will air on ABC in the US on December 8, before becoming available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu the following day.
