Chart positions of Stadium Arcadium
I don’t have the time to search many lists. But, from what I know, the album is the first on the US, UK and German charts, as well as here where I live (this country is a subject to discuss since last night, so I don’t know where I live:roll:)…if you know any other country where it’s first (and I bet there’s many), yell at me and I shall edit this. Here’s what mtv.com said: Shame on those who’d written off rock as a dead genre. Rock, it seems, was just taking a little nap. But thanks to Godsmack, Tool, Pearl Jam and Taking Back Sunday, who’ve dominated the Billboard…

The KRQQ website has some here. You can download the same thing at i-m.net’s forums and I promise to extract a clip of John’s solo at the end, since the one from the TV Total show was very well-received.

On John’s newest collaboration with Mikah Sykes
Article taken from registerguard.com, written by Serena Markstrom. This is not a story about a Eugene kid moving to a major city and making it big. But now that Mikah Sykes is working with a famous guitar player down in Los Angeles, people pay more attention to his mu- sic. Sykes lived in Eugene and Springfield up until about a year and a half ago. He moved to Portland first, then to Southern California, where he decided the only way to afford to pursue music was to be homeless. For the past six months, he’s been staying with friends and sleeping in his tent. During that time he has worked…

Site updates, 16th May 2006
Sorry for roughly one week without updates. 1)There was an issue on the server, my access to the control panel was blocked and i-m.net was therefore about to run out of space, so I couldn’t upload anything, not even post news. 2)At the same time, I had some sort of a flu. Don’t worry, nothing super-urgent happened; I believe you guys have got your hands on Stadium Arcadium in the meantime and worn it out, anyway. So, what’s new? – Fresh pics have been added to the gallery, from some posters in magazines and from the TRL performance last week. You can find them all in the gallery. – A…

An invite-only show, radio show and a real show…
RHCP had an invite-only show in LA, at the Troubadour (John played a solo show there in 2001, remember?) last night and people who got in are mostly band’s friends. If I have more info on it in future, you’ll surely hear about it…:arrow: However, the show on Saturday, held by KROQ-FM (106.7) wasn’t invite only. It was the anual Weenie Roast y Fiesta concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, and here are some nice excerpts from the review seen on Calendar live: The Chili Peppers’ closing set reaffirmed the L.A. quartet’s status among rock’s elite. Songs from the new “Stadium Arcadium” double-CD package added maturity and musical…
