Red Hot Chili Peppers to return in October?
“That’s the plan,” drummer Chad Smith has revealed in an interview with Billboard.com. “Everybody was like, ‘Y’know, I really like having this time off, not being a Chili Pepper and doing other things… It’ll be two years in September, so now we’re ready. You can’t force people to play when they don’t want to play or aren’t ready to play or whatever — not in our band, anyway.”
No word on what the Peppers have planned, but the followup to 2006’s Stadium Arcadium is believed to in the works.
Until then, Smith will be finishing up a few more tour dates with his supergroup/side-project Chickenfoot, while releasing the debut release of another side-project, Bombastic Meatbats.

Im gonna cry when they come back
Praise God!!! It’s about time Jesus stopped ignoring my calls. Stadium Arcadium just didn’t cut it for me. No doubt it had some good tracks…I emphasize SOME because the whole CD was all about Tony and his girl at the time. But this needs to be great!!!!!! They better puts their asses, their cox in sox, and their souls into this if they hope to regain any of the fans they lost to Stadium Arcadium!!!
shut up! they still rule!
The peppers rock face down. If they don’t do it for you anymore its prolly cuz you aint gettin some anymore. Hell, I must admit their newer stuff is gettin much more down with harmony. While I like what they’re doing, I miss some of their old hardcore funk stuff, like Special Secret Song Inside, Naked in the Rain, and Funky Monks. Nonetheless, I’m getting VIP passes next tour. Favorite band EVER.
Jizzed when i found out
Worst live
band ever
The red hot chili peppers have been great. Their last album was slightly overrated and commercial As much as i love them, im going to be anticipated when the album comes out. iF its crap..then its crap. Their in their 40s what do you expect..
i have to side with the captain on this one. as much as i love some of the chili peppers albums they just don’t do it for me anymore
saw them in sunrise, fl on their last tour. kiedis didn’t look into it and the whole band was off. pretty terrible show with no energy. gnarls barkley blew them out of the water.
Chili Peppers lick at this point in their career. Same bullshit, different song title.
But in the mean time if you need a Chilie Peppers Fix?
