Reactions to the new Red Hot Chili Peppers book and photos
Since The Red Hot Chili Peppers: An Oral/Visual History saw the light of the day a couple of weeks ago; there have been many reactions to it. (Un)surprisingly enough, many of them were out-of-the-box and picked from Reuters, so if you want a true opinion on the book, you’re better off getting yourself a copy. The Reuters story sums up what the book is about and calls it a nostalgic window into the future, rather than a resume of what has happened before. Nearing the end of their summary, they quote Flea’s feelings about the book. “A picture book by its nature is a nostalgic thing,” Flea said. “Going back…

Red Hot Chili Peppers – An Oral/Visual History reviewed + competition results
Just like it was the case with The Empyrean in January last year, Invisible Movement is reviewing the cool new thing so you can make up your mind whether you want it or not and so you know what to expect. At the same time, this review does not contain major spoilers, to make it more fun for you. Red Hot Chili Peppers – An Oral/Visual History is, at its worst, yet another lavish high-quality print coffee table book that you can knock out a burglar with and it will stay in one piece. At its best, it’s a nice work of design, combining some quotes we have seen in…

Exclusive preview of John’s 45-minute interview on The Heart Is A Drum Machine
This is an exclusive sent to Invisible Movement thanks to the kind people from the Sneak Attack media: a 47-seconds clip of the 45 minute bonus interview with John on The Heart Is A Drum Machine DVD. And yes, 45 minutes, not 25 as previously said (many thanks to Tom who first pointed out this important difference). Here’s what John says in this excerpt, as transcribed by Chili_Pat (slightly corrected by Chris G and Jen): “The thing that, the thing that makes it possible for one person to be in the right place at the right time in their life to create the things that they create… It has to…

The Heart Is A Drum Machine: trailer, stills, transcript of John’s parts, reviews
The Heart Is A Drum Machine, a documentary movie about music, featuring many musicians, directed by Christopher Pomerenke; was premiered at the Phoenix Art Museum on Friday, 06th February. A bunch of wonderful people have sent in their reviews and even recorded and transcribed some of the things John’s saying in the movie. [media id=186] The above’s a trailer from its official website (go there to download it in full quality!) and below it would be some of John’s lines from the movie itself. I think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the eternal process of their soul and their mind…

Ryan Page discusses upcoming The Heart Is A Drum Machine
In an interview with AZ Central, Ryan Page, who directed the upcomong documentary The Heart Is A Drum Machine with Christopher Pomerenke; had only good words for John and his knowledge. Question: How did the film come about? Pomerenke: I kind of had the idea for talking about music in a grand way, a deep way that we have never seen or done before. Usually music documentaries are about specific people, about their careers, and we wanted to do something broader and get away from that. We got together and started to put together a big list of what we wanted to ask people. Page: We started shooting and it…
