🔥 Anthony Kiedis Stuns Judges at Mr. World Chile 2025 — Performs Death Metal Song in Shocking Twist
In one of the most unexpected moments in pageant history, Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis left both the audience and judges in complete shock at the Mr. World Chile 2025 competition on Sunday night — when he ditched his signature funk-rock style and unleashed a full-throttle death metal performance during the talent round.
The 62-year-old rock legend, known for his smooth charisma and poetic stage presence, stunned the crowd by stepping out in all black, gripping the mic with fierce intensity, and growling his way through a brutal, high-energy metal anthem that few could have predicted.
“I wanted to do something that felt primal,” Kiedis said afterward with a grin. “You can’t always give people what they expect — sometimes, you’ve got to wake them up.”
A Performance No One Saw Coming
The moment Kiedis began his guttural vocals, the crowd went silent — and then erupted in disbelief. Backed by a live band featuring double bass drums and distorted guitars, Kiedis tore through an original composition titled “Blood and Iron”, blending his trademark swagger with the ferocity of a veteran metal frontman.
Judges were visibly taken aback. One, Chilean actress María José Prieto, was seen covering her mouth in shock before breaking into applause. “It was wild,” she later said. “I didn’t know whether to be scared or amazed — maybe both. But that’s Anthony Kiedis. He brings passion, no matter the genre.”
The Internet Goes Wild
Within minutes, the performance was trending worldwide under hashtags like #MetalKiedis, #MrWorldChile, and #ChiliPeppersGoHeavy. Clips of Kiedis roaring into the mic and headbanging mid-song spread across social media, with fans calling it one of the most surreal — and entertaining — moments of 2025 so far.
One viral post on X (formerly Twitter) read:
“Anthony Kiedis just turned Mr. World Chile into a mosh pit. Never thought I’d live to see this day.”
Another fan joked:
“Somewhere, Flea is losing his mind with pride — and probably already working on the bass version.”
Even prominent rock artists chimed in online, with Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl humorously commenting, “Guess I’m not the only one turning beauty contests into metal shows this year.”
Judges Divided but Impressed
While some judges debated whether the death metal showcase fit the competition’s theme, no one could deny Kiedis’s raw stage power. “It’s not what we expected, but it’s unforgettable,” said one judge. “He gave us art, chaos, and confidence — which is exactly what Mr. World should represent.”
The performance earned him one of the night’s loudest standing ovations, with fans chanting “Kie-dis! Kie-dis!” as he left the stage.
A Reinvention of Spirit
For Kiedis, the performance was more than just a stunt — it was a statement. “Metal has always been a part of my soul,” he explained backstage. “There’s beauty in intensity. Life’s not always smooth or funky — sometimes it’s heavy, and that’s okay.”
Organizers later praised the rocker’s creativity and boldness, saying his performance brought “a whole new edge” to the competition.
Whether or not Kiedis advances to the next round, one thing is certain — he’s already made Mr. World Chile 2025 a night to remember. As one fan summed it up perfectly:
“Anthony Kiedis didn’t just compete. He summoned thunder.” ⚡🔥
