Red Hot Chili Peppers End Hiatus

2009-08-03 by JacobsLadder | 79 Comments
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have announced that they are to end their two-year hiatus and resume performing and playing together later this year.

Drummer Chad Smith insists that they will start jamming for the first time together in two year this fall, ending the rumors that they would split. Smith said:"Everybody was like, 'Y'know, I really like having this time off, not being a Chili Pepper and doing other things... It'll be two years in September, so now we're ready.

He continued: "You can't force people to play when they don't want to play or aren't ready to play or whatever - not in our band, anyway."

The group's most recent release was 2006's double album Stadium Arcadium.

Stadium Arcadium wasn't all that great; it'll be interesting to see what their next album is like.

Hehe, I didn't even know they were on hiatus. And I agree, SA wasn't that great, I wonder what direction they're going in now.

Didnt know they were on a hiatus.

And Stadium Arcadium is actually one of my favorite albums of theirs. Probably second or third tbh.

Nah it was solid enough for a double album, was bound to have a bit of filler. Looking forward to another one from these guys, interested to see what direction they decide to take

haha Smith and Ferrell's likeness has always been uncanny

Epic news. I enjoyed Stadium Arcadium, it is a solid (even if it is also at times inconsistent) album. Seen them live too, was brill.

Better than Chickenfoot any day. The less said of them, the better.

Personally I loved Stadium Arcadium...Frusciante's guitar work was the centre of that album rather than Flea's bass (although 21st Century comes to mind as a kick ass bassline) and nearly every song could get stuck in your head. Snow, Dani California and Tell Me Baby are as good as any other RHCP single and album tracks like Especially In Michigan and Wet Sand were just plain awesome.

Had Stadium Arcadium been a single, maximum-length cd, it would have easily been amongst their very best. But Stadium Arcadium sadly contains some of the worse songs they have ever recorded. Heres to hoping they put out a short and to the point cd. Welcome back guys! Ive missed you bad. I grew up with your music, and I look forward to some new stuff.

They're not bad...just they've gotten boring with By The Way and later. Blood, Sex, Sugar, & Magik was wonderful. Don't see how you can't like that album, just so funky =]

They haven't done anything worthwhile since the early nineties. and even then it was pretty flat.
