Girl Talk used Under The Bridge riff on their song
Gregg Gillis alias Girl Talk has used the riff from Under The Bridge on his newest album, which is a medley of otherwise unconnectable songs. There’s a particularly wonderful moment near the end of the album where Lil Wayne’s ubiquitous “Lollipop†slips inside John Frusciante’s lyrical guitar riff from the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Under the Bridge.†They are songs separated by two decades and two cultures, but in the context created by Gillis, they couldn’t be more right for each other. The review is from Chicago Tribune and you can buy the album at Illegalart.net for any price you choose.

And, what better way to do that than by getting his biggest signing to date – Justice – to work with one of the world’s most gigantically enormous rock bands? Apparently RHCP’s frontman Anthony Kiedis has been a fan of Justice for quite some time, using their music as the perfect warm-up before he stages to the stage. For that reason, the rumour that Justice would produce…

For all of you who wanted to know what the rest of RHCP are up to…
…it took a couple of days to find a proper, reliable answer, but here it is. ^_^ Anthony was interviewed by Rolling Stone this week, and here is what he said about the band’s one-year-break, where they are, what they’re doing and what the future holds. What’s the status of the Red Hot Chili Peppers? We’re disbanded for the moment.
