Excerpt from the Interview...

Nick Arnold
With this new Chili Peppers record, are you guys taking a new direction, or will you be sticking with your more recent sound?

Chad Smith
It is a new direction because we've got a new guitar player, Josh Klinghoffer, and he's an amazing musician, so it's obviously gonna change. But it's also gonna change because we've got a new guy in the group, and he's very talented, very musical. It's fresh, it's fun, everyone is in a good mood, everyone is coming up with lots of good ideas, and I just look forward to what the future is gonna bring. I know it's gonna be different and exciting. It just makes me really happy to get up everyday and go to rehearsals, because I know something new and cool is gonna happen, and so I'm looking for it; it's awesome.

Chad Smith News icon 29 Nov 2009 - Chad Smith told to stay away from answering John Frusciante Questions
Posted in Chad Smith News by RedHotChiliPeppersNews

Further speculation about John Frusciante's place within the band continues to become a prominent topic of discussion amongst Red Hot Chili Peppers fans. Chad Smith revealed that he has been told NOT to answer questions about John Frusciante in a recent interview with Classic Rock Magazine.

Classic Rock:
So the Chilis have finally returned to work, following the 2006 double-set Stadium Arcadium. Did guitarist John Frusciante, who in recent interviews seemed to express antipathy towards doing so, take some persuading?

Chad Smith:
[Sounding uncomfortable]: Well… at this time I can’t talk about that. I have been told to stay away from the John questions.

THE BS finds out what is going on with Chad's recent side projects. He's just wrapping up his tour with supergroup, Chickenfoot. In addition to that, Bombastic Meatbats had just released their debut CD. We also ask what he would do if Kanye would have run up and interrupted an acceptance speech of theirs.
