Red Hot Chili Peppers | Τον Ιούλιο μπαίνουν studio!

Σύμφωνα με δηλώσεις του drummer της μπάντας, Chad Smith, ο δέκατος δίσκος των Red Hot Chili Peppers θα αρχίσει να υλοποιείται από τα μέσα του καλοκαιριού.

«Έχουμε αρκετό υλικό έτοιμο, περίπου 20 κομμάτια, αλλά η διαδικασία προπαραγωγής θα πάρει αρκετούς μήνες, οπότε υπολογίζω πως τον Ιούλιο θα είμαστε σε θέση να αρχίσουμε να ηχογραφούμε».

Θα είναι ο πρώτος δίσκος της μπάντας με τον αντικαταστάτη του John Frusciante, Josh Klinghoffer, οπότε το αποτέλεσμα ενδέχεται να είναι ιδιαίτερα ενδιαφέρον.

«Μας στενοχώρησε όλους η αποχώρηση του John, αλλά δεν γίνεται να καταπιέσεις τις επιθυμίες ενός καλλιτέχνη» δήλωσε ο Smith. «Το θέμα όμως είναι, πως η επιλογή του ο Josh ήταν σχεδόν φυσική. Προφανώς θα παίζει κιθάρα και πλήκτρα στον δίσκο, αλλά θα βοηθήσει και στη συγγραφή, είναι μία πολύ δημιουργική παρουσία στη μπάντα»
