1 év múlva új album 2009.10.30. 08:45

A Clash Magazine készített egy interjút Chad-del a következő számához, amiben elmondott néhány részletet az RHCP terveiről, többek között azt is, hogy az új album megjelenése vmikor jövőre, talán pont ilyenkorra tehető. Megkérdezték, hogy Flea közreműködésének Thom York szólóalbumán lesz-e valamilyen hatása az új dalokra, mire Chad azt válaszolta, hogy inspirálásképpen kapott a "kollégájától" (:D) egy elektromos ütemekkel teli CD-t, de jelenleg nincs határozott elektronikus irányultságuk. Bár "sose tudhatod. Most is vannak olyan számok, amikben zongora van, szóval ki tudja". Forrás

Az RHCP menedzsmentje is megerősítette, hogy a The Horse Chronicles nevű e-zine által publikált minden interjú hamis. A hivatalos fórumon ezt írta az egyik moderátor:

"Management dealt with the matter.

Blackie MySpace-en 2009.10.23. 10:42

"Anthony came home soooo happy after rehearsals - great spirits. He's loving being back in the studio. (his mom says) Feel free to quote me"

The Buckethead Show 2009.10.20. 14:55

Van egy újabb Chad interjú a tegnap esti The Buckethead Show-ból (Real Radio 104.1). Leginkább a Bombastic Meatbats-ről és a Chickenfoot-ról beszél, de kapott pár kérdést az RHCP-re vonatkozóan is. Ezen kívül Chad 17-én Twitteren is említette, hogy elkezdtek zenélni ("Had a good week with kid rock and the Peppers") és már Blackie is írt a MySpace-en ("best band in the world rehearsing in a secret location"). A rádióadás szöveges változata 08:36-tól:

Interviewer: What do the guys from the Chili Peppers, what do they say about...aah...the Bombastic Meatbats?

Chad Smith: Oh, um, I don't know, cause we just started rehearsing again last week, we just started writing songs, getting together, making music and so...I don't even know if they really know about the Bombastic Meatbats. You're asking me about Chickenfoot and I remember Flea was like: "What's Marc Anthony like?" you know...and all that kind of stuff.

(unrelated)

Interviewer: Is there going to be any song on the new Chili Peppers' stuff named or have a meaning related to California?

Chad Smith: Hahahahaha...

Interviewer: Isn't that a rule?

Chad Smith: I don't think it's a rule, alright. Anthony writes all the lyrics and the words, you see, that's his category...but...yeah, I think it's in the contract...hehehehe.

Interviewer: Yeah, can you please explain it to us, Chad? Why-why, eeh, you know, I'm a Chili Peppers' fan, but...

Chad Smith: I don't know...cause he writes about what he knows?! I mean, it's where we live, you know?

Interviewer: I love California, haha..

Chad Smith: I know there's a ? because...cause we wrote about this character! Dani California was in, like, three songs: one song on the Californication record, um, on the By The Way record and then, on the last, Stadium Arcadium, there's actually a song called Dani California. So...so...but I think that chapter's closed, he'll have to come up with something new for this album.

Interview: Alright, so...

Chad Smith: That's not like...I can't do words, I have so much respect for people who can do lyrics, I can't. As you hear on the Meatbats, I don't do too many vocal vib...vocal, vocal stylings of Chad Smith. No, not yet! But it might be coming up.

Interviewer: You lied to us! You said you did, you said that you sing, we just can't hear you.

Chad Smith: That's right!

Interviewer: You liar!

Chad Smith: Oh nooo...

Interviewer: YOU'RE A LIAR, NOOOO!

Chad Smith: Don't record!

Interviwer: Let me err...let me ask you, I've put up this questionary to a couple of guest on lately, artists and bands, asking the same question: Alright, Chad. You and the Chili Peppers just get aaa...you just get called up on stage for a big award show to accept your award. You walk up there, you're about to give your acceptance speech, and Kanye West does what he did to Taylor Swift, to you guys. What does Chad Smith do?

Chad Smith: Oh, Kanyeeee...why does he do that? Umm...great question, I don't...you know...probably start beatboxing and having-having him bust out a rhyme.

Interviewer: Yeah, I can see that happening! Yeah, you know, I can see you guys...

Chad Smith: If he can, he'll keep doing it, keep thinking...and he probably can. Then it's a musical and then it's OK, but you know, ??????, you know. I know, I thought that was staged...you know, that was all staged. You know, MTV likes to do their controversial stuff. Shows for the ?????. It just looked staged to me, it looked like "Oh, here you have Kanye again", you know, and it's most like a joke...you know, like he always comes up and cries about something, he's doing it again...but I guess not, if it was a ????, I'm just, I'm like... "no, come on".

Interviewer: ????? it's like, a...there's Anthony like he's in "Point Break", you know, where he tried to pick the fight with Patrick Swayze, he takes off the shirt and then, you know, he just kinda does his little sway on the one side to the other....

Interviewer 2: ....It's called dance move...

Interviewer: ...yeah, and then they start fighting. That's what I envision.

Chad Smith: OK...yeah, well, you know...

Interviewer: ...and you laughing!

Megint képek, Anthony és Everly október 17-én a malibui strandra készül.

Képek + interjú 2009.10.17. 17:19

Ahhoz képest, hogy Chiliék elkezdtek tevékenykedni, nem sok újdonság van mostanában. :) Először is: vannak új Anthony képek október 14-ről.

Hétfőn pedig a Cities 97 készített egy interjút Chad-del, amit meghallgatni a rádió weboldalán lehet. Szöveges változat:

Brian Turner: 25 years you've gotta be doing the rock n roll thing to be nominated for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. That's you guys this year. How do you feel about that?

Chad Smith: I feel OOOLLLDDD BT, old! Can you hear my balls creeking over here... Nooo, it's ah, it's, it's awesome. I mean that, that's cool, I mean there's award shows every week y'know for ... whatever, y'know, but y'know for best haircut and all that stuff on TV, they like their award shows.. But I think the Hall really has a, it holds y'know, somethin' that has that merit to it and ahh, we're just, we're honored. I'm just.. just to think that a band like the Red Hot Chilli Peppers started out like, kinda like as a joke, is y'know. Been together this long, and is still relevent! We make records that people want to hear, and wanna come see us play and we're doing new things all the time and for a band to still be doing that.. Yeah, I'm very proud of it! I'm humbled and honored and I hope ah, I hope that Iggy and the Stooges get in. I know that they're up and that would be.. it would be a crime if... that music and that band was very influential and ah, I hope that we get to get in on what he does and have a nice jam. I'm sure that they'll do the right thing.

BT agrees and says that it would be awesome for both bands to get in - Red Hot Chili Peppers and Iggy and the Stooges - in the same year.

BT: You've gotta be the busiest guy around, I mean, 2 side projects, you've got the Bombastic Meatbats, you've got Chickenfoot...[Chad cuts in]

Chad Smith: Go man, go!!

Október 12. 2009.10.02. 13:53

Újabb cikk az októberi visszatéréstől, elvileg 12-én indul is Chad kedvenc része, a kreatívosdi. :) "I'm going back to playing with the Chili Peppers and I've no idea what it might sound like - which is exciting. It's been two years and we'll just get back together and play. This is my favourite part: the creative process. It's the coolest part of making music and being in a band. I love playing live but I get a lot of enjoyment out of this process."

Arról viszont elég bizonytalanul nyilatkozott, hogy mi van John-nal... Állítólag nem túl izgatott. "John wasn't too anxious to get back and get going. But one way or another, we'll get going."

(Mellékesen még annyi, hogy a Warner és a YouTube megállapodott. Részletesebb infó ezen az oldalon.)
