New Chad Interview- Album update and tour info

Chad Smith is one of the busiest rockers on the planets. Whether he’s making kids records, instrumentals with Chickenfoot, hard rock, or Chili Peppers stuff this dude is a human drumming machine.

But, of course, what we all wanna know is when is there gonna be a new Red Hot Chili Peppers record? “It will be next year,” revealed Chad Smith to Triple M’s Ugly Phil

Ugly Phil went on to ask the Chadmeister whether the rumours were true that there are four new songs already in the pipeline and some of them are going to have pianos and they’re going to be very different.

“You know, it’s too early to say,” said Smith before laughing, “It’s not gonna be like an Elton John album. Not that that’s a bad thing! It would be great if we could write songs that good.”

This will be their tenth studio album and their first with new guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer, who not only was best mates with the old guy John Frusciante but travelled the world with the band during their last Stadium Arcadium world tour, playing back-up guitar.

In respect of a tour, Smith wouldn’t confirm exact dates but he did say that when the Chili Peppers do announce a tour, Australia will definitely be on the itinerary. “Of course! We always come.”

You heard it here first. The Chili Peppers are coming to Oz!
