Hey RCHP24
The chili's did a cover of 'Fire' originally i think on either abbey road EP or Mothers Milk (1989). This could have been a tribute to one of the greatest guitarists ever but it was never shortly after his death because Hendrix died in 1970. Anthony and Flea would have both been 8 at the time and chili peppers only officially started in 1983 - 13 years after Hendrix's death. You were right about the fans starting a fire during woodstock but it was only in 1999 - 29 years after Hendrix was dead and they started a fire when they played under the bridge because they all got free candles.
So in short its a cover originally done by Jimi Hendrix but it was a wicked sick cover (still not as good as the original i reckon)
