Anthony is praising John’s guitar skills again
This is an excerpt from an article published on Billboard.com…Anthony had some really nice words to say regarding John’s playing on Stadium Arcadium: Kiedis cites “Snow” as one of his favorite tunes from the new album, due to its “really crazy sounding guitar part. It’s very busy but rhythmically desirable at the same time. That has grown into one of the epic, kind of great-feeling jams on this record.” Another tune, “Wet Sand,” goes in a new structural direction. “It isn’t so much verse/chorus/verse/chorus with a bridge,” Kiedis says. “It has a beginning, a middle and an end, which I like as a change of pace.” Fans are sure to…

Band’s new site/more news on Stadium Arcadium
As you might have or might not have noticed since it just happened, an interim version of the RHCP’s official site was launched a couple of hours ago. It also means that the fanclub is back and that the old message board, which so many people loved, is going to be closed. Now…yes, there is a new message board but it does not have a forum dedicated to John and his solo work like the old one, and half of the board is restricted to the members who did not pay circa 30 dollars for the silver or circa 40 dollars for the gold membership. So, yes, people have to…

A complete makeover
As you can see (I guess it’s pretty obvious), I-M.net has a brand new look yet again. There have been many people who didn’t like the old layout and it was a bit hard to navigate and, according to someone I know who has the third eye for art, a bit too dark. So, I decided to make a new one. Here it is. There are a couple of different head images and they will change randomly while you’re surfing the pages. As for submenus, they will appear on subpages. There are a couple of new features, such as the list of various web-based RSS readers you can add this…

Stadium Arcadium out on 8th May 2006!
It’s finally official. According to NME, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 9th full-length studio album, Stadium Arcadium, will hit the stores on Monday, 8th May. And, according to sources close to the band, that date is for UK-only, while the release date for USA will be 9th May. Release dates for other countries are not known yet, but they’re probably going to be announced according to the weekday when the new releases are out, and that varies from country to country, mind you. The album was meant to be a 38-songs trilogy, but it will be a 24-songs double LP instead. It will be perceded by the first single, “Dani California”…

Sorry for the downtime
As you could probably notice, the site was down for a couple of days, due to switching servers, changing DNS and some technical problems. I won’t bother you with what exactly happened because a site visitor didn’t comit a sin in order to be sentenced to listen to a geeky webmistress, so, forget it, we’re back and everything should be faster and the strange bug associated to many threads on the board should be gone. Also, be aware that if you sent me an email between 6th and 9th January 2006, I probably didn’t receive it. Thanks for your love and patience 🙂
