Al Jardine of the Beach Boys says the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been rehearsing at his place!
Posted in
Red Hot Chili Peppers News by
RedHotChiliPeppersNews
Al Jardine of the Beach Boys was recently interviewed about his new solo album, "A Postcard From California" in which Flea contributes on one track. During the interview he talks about Flea's contribution and also mentions that the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been rehearsing at his place!
RHCP/Flea related excerpts...
Interviewer: You also have Flea on here.
AJ: Oh, Flea. He's amazing...he's like bottled energy. If you ever want some energy, go see Flea. He put a bass part on "Help Me Rhonda" that just kicks it up a notch, you know? He's even a brilliant musician as a trumpet player, a vocalist; he can do it all. In fact, he very generously spent a day with me in the studio until his lips got blue from playing the trumpet. He's really quite an accomplished musician.
Interviewer: One of the greats.
AJ: They (Red Hot Chili Peppers) are rehearsing at my place, they're working on their new album very shortly.

Chad Smith talks about RHCP's NEW Album in NEW Interview!
Posted in
Red Hot Chili Peppers News by
RedHotChiliPeppersNews
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith talks about the NEW Red Hot Chili Peppers Album, John's departure and the arrival of RHCP's new guitarist, 'Josh Klinghoffer' in a NEW interview with MusicRadar released today!
MusicRadar asks Chad about RHCP's NEW Guitarist Josh Klinghoffer...
How has Josh Klinghoffer been working out?
"We're all thrilled to have Josh be part of the group now. He's been a friend of ours for a long time. He's played with us, he's played with John - he's a real natural fit.
"Josh is a real creative force. He's going to play guitar, he's going to write music, he's going to sing and play keyboards. The guy is amazing. And the great thing is, we didn't have to go through that whole dating phase that happens sometimes and winds up weird. It's not like we held these open auditions and got in somebody who we had to figure out. We know what Josh can do and we're excited."
Interview Summary Chad estimates that they'll go in to the studio some time around July 2010 to record/finalize the current 20 tracks they have (More tracks may arise). So we're looking at the originally proposed October/winter period of 2010 as a realistic time for the release of the Album!
Chad also goes on to say that Flea's gone back to learning music theory and playing at USC's school of music. As a result there will be a number of Flea's piano driven melodies on the new Album as Chad mentioned in an interview previously. Josh will also contribute keyboard and vocals to the band's new sound! The Interview has also confirmed that Rick Rubin will produce the new Album.
