Chad Smith, drummer of Red Hot Chili Peppers, has revealsed to Billboard Magazine that he has October circled on his calendar for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' return to active duty.
"That's the plan," Smith tells Billboard, noting that what was announced as a one-year break turned into two for the quartet after finishing up their last tour.
"That's the plan," Smith tells Billboard, noting that what was announced as a one-year break turned into two for the quartet after finishing up their last tour.
"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. 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."
Smith expects bassist Flea and guitarist John Frusciante may come in with some musical ideas, but the group will mostly likely "do a lot of improvising and jamming and songs will come out of that, too. That's what we usually do. I don't know why it would be different."
No prospective release date has even been considered yet, and Smith says he and his bandmates also "haven't talked about" who will produce, though he acknowledged that Rick Rubin, who's produced the group's last five studio efforts, "always ends up being the guy...but we haven't discussed it."
Red Hot Chili Peppers have not released anything since their 2005 double album 'Stadium Arcadium'.
