熱呼呼的專訪！談到Chinckenfoot與RHCP的新專輯！
節錄RHCP部分如下：
So even though Chickenfoot have been writing and demoing, the plan is to
record in the fall, once you're done with the Chili Peppers album?
"That's right. The next Chickenfoot record is gonna kick ass, but at the
moment, as you can imagine, my main focus is on the Chili Peppers. I'm
definitely in Chili Peppers mode."
You're getting set to make the record soon, right?
"Real soon. Since last October we've been working on things, and probably in
a few weeks we'll be going into the studio with Rick Rubin. Pre-production
will take a few months, but I'd say by July we'll be laying down real tracks.
We have a lot of material, probably about 20 songs."
Has everything calmed down in the band? There was so much attention to John
Frusciante leaving again - understandably so.
"Yeah, things have calmed down. Things were…as you know...they were a little
pressurized last year. We were sad to see John leave the band, but he has to
do what he wants and follow his path."
How has Josh Klinghoffer been working out?
"We're all thrilled to have Josh be part of the group now. He's been a friend
of ours for a long time. He's played with us, he's played with John - he's a
real natural fit.
"Josh is a real creative force. He's going to play guitar, he's going to
write music, he's going to sing and play keyboards. The guy is amazing. And
the great thing is, we didn't have to go through that whole dating phase that
happens sometimes and winds up weird. It's not like we held these open
auditions and got in somebody who we had to figure out. We know what Josh can
do and we're excited."
But still, it's going to be a different sound with Josh.
"Oh, sure. I mean, he's his own man, he's a different guy. There's little
nuances and things about his playing that are going to be different, but like
I said, he knows the band and we know him. We were already starting from a
good point. I think people are going to really like what we do.
"And aside from what Josh is bringing to the band, Flea is doing different
things. He's contributing a lot of piano-type songs. You know, he recently
went to school, to USC, and he really learned a lot about theory and playing.
If you grow, everybody grows - if they're open to it, which we are."
What have the other members of the Chili Peppers said to you about
Chickenfoot? Do they like the band?
"You know what's funny? They haven't said anything. No, wait, I take that
back...Flea did ask me once what it was like playing with Michael Anthony.
That's about it."
That's so surprising. You'd think they'd be curious.
"We don't really talk about our extra-curricular activities. I mean, I went
to see Flea play in his Thom Yorke project. I enjoyed it, but I don't sit
around asking him about it."
