This post is brought to you by Invisible Movement and RHCP Universe together, because we split the duties to find what was necessary; and man, we sure had a lot of caffeine as well.
On Monday, Chad Smith was interviewed by yet another radio station, Cities97 and you can listen to the interview here or download it by right-clicking and saving as, as some computers have problems with Windows Media streams and it was easy to get the actual link. And Dolfina of RHCP Universe was so kind to transcribe the relevant bits: things regarding RHCP rehearsing and nominations for the RNR Hall of Fame. I hope this little tea biscuit-sized news will make your day, if you're worrying.

BT: 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: I'm going to start Kid Rock's new album. Today is the first day.
BT: Nice!
Chad Smith: Yeah, Rick Rubin's producing it and he's like you've gotta play on this, he's got great songs... So I'm going over to do that and then till 4 o'clock and then at 4.30 I'm going to start rehearsing with the Chili Peppers, so..
BT: hehehahaha
Chad Smith: I'm woorrKKING!!
BT: Go, Go, Go Baby!
Chad Smith: Go man, go!!

Hey Eugene, just zip off...Chad has always collaborated with the best...If you talking bullshit artists, then you'd better remember the low-profile musicians John has collaborated with so far...so in that sense John's the one to be called a degrader of his band mates....he does not realize where he comes from and what stance he has in the world of music and as a result he vilifies his greatness by working with unknown musicians...Chad has been doing great working with the likes of Haggar and Satriani...do you have any big names associated with John?...i don't think so.
Seriously, stop it. They play the music that they want to play, with the artists they like, admire, or have fun with. Neither John nor Chad have been degrading. John isn’t interested in “big names”, only music, and he has many friends in the LA underground scene. Chad isn’t interested in “big names” either, he likes to play live and he’s always been frequenting a different scene… remember when he joined RHCP he had long hair and was wearing bandanas. Flea is the better man? Do you realize that Flea has been mocked in specialized press because of no “rock credibility” to play with Thom Yorke? You’re doing the same.
Btw, I wasn’t worried, I always believed they would start on October 12.
I prefer that John works with more unknowns, the fact that the music is pretty much always good shows how great he is. Mars Volta may not be massive names but they are one of the greatest bands in the world and John has helped them achieve this. Let Chad play with who he wants, he's earned that right, but Frusciante plays with people he gets a connection with and creates music different in style to what he's played before. His collabs have a very good purpose to them, he doesn't do it to say, "Oh, I played with X, what a musical legend".
