Chad Smith clarifies (not) the status of Red Hot Chili Peppers
(Oh boy, here it goes again.)
Late in 2008, when MusicRadar staff spoke to Chad Smith, he said that RHCP were taking a year off and that he’s concentrating on his new all-star band, Chickenfoot. And then, early in January this year, there was the podcast featuring John who said something completely different. After the dust has settled, Joe Bosso of MusicRadar reportedly contacted Chad Smith again, who then said:
“We’ve been on a break for a year and whatever,” Smith said. “I can’t speak for John – he’s doing his thing and hopefully he’s happy – but I think when we’re all ready to play again, when we feel like it’s time to be the Chili Peppers again, we’ll do it.
You can’t force anybody to play who doesn’t want to. I’m not naming names. I’m just saying we all have to feel that the time is right to get it together.”
You can read the whole article over there. I’m not making any polls here because I think it’s slightly disrespectful at this point when everything is “indefinite”; but you’re, as always, welcome to have your say in the comments. Just be nice.
