CHILI PEPPERS ALBUM UPDATE
Album Title: STADIUM ARCADIUM (double album)
Key Tracks: \'Dani California\', \'Hard To Concentrate\', \'Desecration Smile\',
\'Charlie\', \'Snow\', \'Stadium Arcadium\'
thats gonna be SER
:hump:
Red Hot Chili Peppers have announced the final details surrounding the release of their new double album.
\'Stadium Arcadium\' will hit the shops on May 8 as the successor to 2002\'s \'By The Way\'.
Originally conceived as a 38-song trilogy, \'Stadium Arcadium\' will be a 24-track double LP with titles including the first single \'Dani California\', which will precede the album.
Other songs set to feature are \'Snow\', \'Animal Bar\', \'Wet Sand\', \'Charlie\', \'Desecration Smile\' and \'Hard To Concentrate\'.
Speaking to NME.COM about the title of the release, singer Anthony Kiedis said: "\'Stadium Arcadium\', in the end it has a very dreamlike feeling of we on Earth reflecting the cosmos on the heavens, and we on Earth reflecting it because that\'s where our inspiration comes from. It\'s more romance of sound or whatever retarded passions exist in your soul. It\'s kind of a romantic affair."
The LP also marks the first time the band have managed three consecutive records with the same line-up, following the return of guitarist John Frusciante to the fold for 1999\'s \'Californication\'.
However, Kiedis refuted the suggestion that this means the band had fully conquered their demons.
"It feels great, and I hope it stays that way, but I wouldn\'t say our troubles are all over. In some ways it\'s good to hold on to a few of your demons... I don\'t think our troubles are completely over. We\'re a bit bent in the head and I think that serves us well."
Red Hot Chili Peppers entered the studio last March with producer Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys, [a]System Of A Down) to start work on \'Stadium Arcadium\' and having played three shows at London\'s Hyde Park eighteen months ago to a total of 300,000 people, the band plan to return to the UK for a tour later this year.
Initially, Stadium Arcadium, the Red Hot Chili Peppers\' forthcoming ninth studio album, was going to be released in three separate parts. Frontman Anthony Kiedis was keen on the idea and championed it until he realized the third installment of the trilogy wouldn\'t surface for almost two years.
"That notion, I couldn\'t handle," he said. "In a year and a half, I know we\'ll be writing new music and then it will be time for that. In the end, [these songs] seemed like a body of music that needed to be heard as one body."
So Kiedis and the Chilis suffered through the "heart-wrenching" process of cutting down the 38 tracks they\'d recorded with longtime friend and producer Rick Rubin to the 25 featured on the Stadium Arcadium double LP. "Slow Cheetah," "Storm in a Tea Cup," "Hard to Concentrate," "C\'mon Girl," "Ready Made" and "Desecration Smile" are just a handful of the tracks that survived the process and will make the record\'s track list.
"I think we always [approach the songwriting process] with this mindset that this time, we\'re going to write the perfect 11 songs and just put out 11 songs like they used to do in the days of Buddy Holly and the Beatles," Kiedis said. "Those early records were so short and sweet, and had this kind of lasting profound impact on the world because they\'re very memorable and digestible and, I don\'t know, maybe it just takes less energy or effort to connect with smaller collections. But as has been the case with every single time we\'ve tried to do that, we end up with 30 some-odd songs. The difference this time was we ended up liking all of those songs and finishing all of those songs and it actually became a very difficult process to even just whittle it down to 25. I think it\'s sort of the best thing that we\'ve ever done, and I just want to get it out there on the airwaves and in the earholes of the world."
Stadium Arcadium\'s first single will be "Danni California." Kiedis said the band plans to shoot a video for the track soon with Tony Kaye, who directed "American History X." The performance-based clip will boast an underlying story about a character that\'s appeared on the band\'s previous two discs.
"The spirit of Danni was evoked in the song \'Californication,\' and it talks about a pregnant teenager. And then she sort of comes to fruition in a song called \'By the Way,\' where she is actually mentioned by name," he said. "This song\'s the final chapter of Danni." Kiedis wouldn\'t elaborate further on the video\'s treatment, but did say Danni\'s "an amalgamation of lots of things and people she\'s not really based on one person but a collective of probably every girl I\'ve ever met."
As for Stadium Arcadium\'s sound, Kiedis said the writing process was aided this time around by the fact that "everybody was in good moods. There was very little tension, very little anxiety, very little weirdness going on and every day we showed up to this funky room in the Valley where we write music, and everyone felt more comfortable than ever bringing in their ideas."
Every idea was used to create those 38 tracks. "There is a weird thread that connects back to our first three records," Kiedis added. "There\'s this weird kind of sublime, subliminal undercurrent that is suggestive, in a spirited way, of our earliest records. There\'s some retardedly painful funk on this record. There are a few songs that are just straight-up dirty funk, and beyond that, there\'s this ongoing progression of everything else that has been slowly happening between Californication and By the Way, with harmonies and textures. [Guitarist] John [Frusciante] has really fallen in love with the art of treating sounds. [The album\'s] layered, but not in a heavy-handed way. John\'s work is definitely of the masterpiece quality, as a guitar player and sound treatment-ist. He has certainly gone to some weird όber-level of hearing some Beethoven-sized symphony sh-- in his head. He really shines on this record."
The 13 tracks that didn\'t make it onto the final product might wind up surfacing commercially, after all, because "I\'d be crushed if they didn\'t get heard," Kiedis said. But it won\'t be cheap for the truest of the band\'s fans to get them all. The singer said the idea is to release different versions of the album through different retail outlets, each with a unique bonus track. So fans who download Stadium Arcadium using iTunes would get one bonus track say "Especially in Michigan" while those who picked up their copy at Target would get a different bonus song like "Mercy, Mercy."
"We\'re going to try and do that with the independent record stores across America, and for all the monster chains," he explained. "We\'ll service everybody with a different bonus track, because we have them."
Stadium Arcadium is due May 9, according to the band\'s management.
Chili Peppers Stoked About New Album, Possible Kanye Tour
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have a lot of irons in the proverbial fire at the moment.
In addition to their May 9 double LP, Stadium Arcadium, there\'s the video the Peppers just shot with "American History X" director Tony Kaye for the track "Danni California." According to bassist Flea, it explores "the tradition and the beauty of the history of rock and roll."
The funkmeisters have also been booked for a handful of European summer festivals, and Flea divulged that they\'ve even agreed, in principal, to play Lollapalooza (see "Lollapalooza Returning As A Three-Day Festival"). Oh, and then there\'s that idea they\'re kicking around that involves them doing a U.S. arena tour with Kanye West, which, if all goes according to plan, would launch in late August with dates running through the winter.
"I think we\'ll be doing some legs with Kanye, but I don\'t know if that\'s confirmed yet or not," Flea said. "I think we\'re going to do a month or two with him. I think it\'s going to happen, and I hope it happens. He\'s a great artist ... and we always try to get the best people to play with that we can."
Last month, frontman Anthony Kiedis told MTV News that discussions had been initiated between the Chili Peppers and Kanye camps. "I\'m a fan of him in general and I think his music is very good, and I just like his vibe and his energy," Kiedis said. "We\'ve had good success with bringing bands [on the road with us] that aren\'t traditionally seen as going together, and the more we can kind of break the mold of a genre-specific bill, it\'s kind of good for us. It would be great. I hope it all works out. The channels have been opened."
A spokesperson for West had no comment.
But even if things don\'t end up working out with West, it doesn\'t look as if it\'ll dampen Flea\'s enthusiasm about the 25-track Stadium Arcadium. He said he hasn\'t been this excited about the band\'s music since "we first started in 1983." The songs, he said, "mean so much to me it\'s the best record we\'ve ever made. I feel so important to share [this album] with the world. Making this record, I just feel like each one of us was at the best that we could be. This Stadium Arcadium, this is our grand statement this is the best that we can do. This is the best we\'re capable of. If you don\'t like this [record], you don\'t like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Period."
Flea said that all the ingredients were in place for the band\'s "magnum opus": Producer Rick Rubin (Slayer, Jay-Z) was back on board to twist the knobs, and "we worked really well communally together. We really respected each others\' opinions and didn\'t waste time arguing about stupid stuff. We really just got down and made some music."
This was not the case when the Peppers recorded 2002\'s By the Way. "It was an unpleasant experience for me," Flea explained. "There was definitely tension in the group, tension between [guitarist] John [Frusciante] and I, and I didn\'t feel comfortable creatively within the band. I didn\'t feel free to express myself. All of that [was] resolved [during the Stadium sessions], and we got to this place where we felt very free. We were all getting along and all working together well, and when we do that, that\'s when we\'re at our best that\'s when the real magic happens."
Arcadium, Flea said, is a funk-riddled rocker, which should be good news for the band\'s longtime fans. But the album has its tranquil, muted moments too.
"I\'ve always loved being mellow," he said, smiling. "Love being intense too. I can\'t describe what effect [this music will have] on people and whether people [will] perceive it as being mellow or what. We keep rolling along and we learn stuff as we go, and the more that we learn, the more we keep adding. I think initially with us, the main thing we knew how to do was rock out. Just rock the f--- out to just go into animal mode and get into this primal thing. We\'ve always loved that, and that\'s always the essence of what we do: complete surrendering to the groove and giving it up.
"But as you go, you learn other things," he continued. "You learn harmony and melody and how beautiful it is to love something as delicate as a flower petal. You deepen. To me, we\'ve retained the intensity and used it in a lot of different ways. But I think people are going to be able to rock, and I think people will get their boogie shoes on and have a good time. I think that everybody likes to feel the power of life."

04.10.06 Red Hot Chili Peppers Makes History at Radio
The Red Hot Chili Peppers\' "Dani California" (Warner Bros.) this week becomes the second song ever to debut atop Billboard Radio Monitor\'s Modern Rock chart. R.E.M. was the first to accomplish this feat doing so in the Sept. 16, 1994 issue of Monitor. "Dani California" is the Chili Peppers\' ninth No. 1, a new record for the format. The quartet had previously been tied with Green Day and U2 for all-time Modern Rock chart toppers. The track enters the chart with 2,558 spins which is the highest single week tally of any song in 2006 and the highest single week debut total since "Somewhere I Belong" hit the chart with 3,114 detections. Detections were garnered at all 75 of the panel\'s reporters with 73 stations recording Airplay Adds for six or more spins.
"Dani California" also becomes the first song to debut in the top five at Modern, Active Rock and Heritage Rock in the same week. The track enters the Active Rock chart at No. 2, that chart\'s highest debut since the June 6, 2003 issue when Metallica\'s "St. Anger" opened at No. 1 with 1,725 spins. This week\'s total of 1,435 is the third highest single week debut trailing "St. Anger" and "Somewhere I Belong". 58 of the 60 monitored reporters spun the song at least six times for Airplay Adds with spins detected at all 60 stations. At Heritage Rock, "Dani California" enters at No. 4 which equals the debut of Pearl Jam\'s "World Wide Suicide" in the March 17 issue and its 303 spins is the most for a debut since Van Halen\'s "It\'s About Time" opened with 423 in the June 4, 2004 issue.

thanks, but no thanks....
i\'ve waited for what has seemed like an eternity to hear this record, i sure as fuck can wait one more week.
I look at downloading like the free preview you get in the store when you scan the disc with the headphones. I\'m listening to it to preview. Then I go and buy.
i\'m all for previewing music you\'ve never heard before, and believe me i\'ve pirated plenty of music in my day.... but in this case when you know that you are going to be buying the album in a week, why do you need to preview it??? i understand if you aren\'t that big of RHCP fan and you aren\'t sure if your going to buy it, but i think most of the people who said they downloaded it off oink prob are big enuff fans that they will def go buy it.
yeah.. i\'ve had the deluxe edition (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000ENV2P0/pbfanscom-20/) on pre-order since the day it went on sale, but i sure as fuck couldn\'t wait one more week, knowing that it\'s out there and i could hear it now. ;)

Like hot rats. The LP is almost completely different mix from the cd.
This was a good debate. :thumbsup:
Okay, now that the dust has settled on that one...........
I got my tix for Jersey. 18th row. Cool I guess...
Indoors, arena, on a Tuesday night and not \'til October.
I promised myself no more arena shows... oh well.
Not taking the wife. How am I gonna explain that? She\'s not really a fan, and buddy of mine got the tix, but I think I\'m in deep shit here folks! I just can\'t sit through this show hearing "When are they gonna play Under the Bridge?" every ten minutes. Man, I\'m in deep shit.
Personal favs on the new album so far:
Especially in Michigan, Strip My Mind, Slow Cheetah
I only have one disc though, that all changes tomorrow!
the better of the 2 discs awaits you! :)
Charlie huh? Maybe I\'ll give it another listen.
fan club presale ran saturday through monday. i guess the "itunes presale" starts today, for people who preordered the album on itunes..
JUPITER=ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and GNARLS BARKLEY in 2007!

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS AND GNARLS BARKLEY
WILL HIT THE ROAD TOGETHER NEXT YEAR
LOS ANGELES, October 16, 2006 -- Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gnarls Barkley will hit the road together for three months (January to March) in early 2007, playing arenas across the United States. Specific dates will be announced shortly.
The Chili Peppers launched their current U.S. tour to much praise in August, in support of their critically acclaimed double album Stadium Arcadium. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album debuted in May at ..1 in 28 countries around the world, including topping the Billboard 200 on their home turf. Thus far the album has spawned a pair of ..1 Modern Rock hits "Dani California" and "Tell Me Baby."
Gnarls Barkley, the combination of Grammy-winning producer Danger Mouse and superstar vocalist Cee-Lo Green, released their debut St. Elsewhere CD this year to critical acclaim. Their first single, "Crazy" garnered more radio format play than any single in U.S. radio history -- with nine radio formats and a U.S. radio audience of nearly 100 million. A top five album in almost every country in Europe, the band was recently nominated for two MTV Europe Music Awards for best song and best video. St. Elsewhere is currently on its way to double platinum sales in the U.S.
Safe to say it will be a powerful concert bill.
Stadium Arcadium is the ninth studio album from the Chili Peppers. All told, the band has sold more than 50 million albums, logged seven multiplatinum CDs and earned a record-setting ten .. 1 Modern Rock hits.
They also continue to ride the crest of the ongoing awards season, topping nominations for the 13th annual MTV Europe Music Awards with best rock act, best group, best album and best song for "Dani California." The band also tied for most nominations for the 2006 American Music Awards where they are up for Pop/Rock nominations for favorite and, duo or group, favorite album and favorite artist in the Alternative Music category. Additionally, Chili Peppers have been nominated for the 2006 mtvU Woodie Awards on MTV\'s 24-hour college network for Alumni Woodie (aka The You\'re Still OK in our Book Award).
Gnarls Barkley is currently preparing a limited edition deluxe package of St. Elsewhere for release November 7. The CD+DVD package includes a 92 page booklet, four music videos and bonus songs from live performances.
Gnarls also recently released a video for their second single, a cover of the Violent Femmes classic "Gone Daddy Gone."

Dave are you going on wednesday night? if so, could you possibly burn me a copy of 10-2??? Would be mucchhh appreciated!
Setlist: 10/17/06 - Continental Airlines Arena; East Rutherford, NJ
the mars volta didn\'t really do it for me last night.. they had their ups and downs, but overall, i didn\'t like their set nearly as much as boston (could be that one 30-minute tune they played).. and i missed a couple minutes of their set because they went on at 7:30 sharp (which they have been, but last night\'s tickets said 8:00, and the others have said 7:30).. well, at least i know for tonight..
in a totally irrelevant sort of way, i present you with this tidbit~
anthony keidis and i have made out with the same chick. i was first.
tonight was one of the best performances i have ever seen.i went out to the bathroom and saw chad smith walking around. holy shit that guy is tall...and hot. I proceeded to give him a :bj: i now know damn well about davepeck and mike helluvahat\'s manlove for each other and completely understand it. They are fucking amazing together. i am so glad that i\'ve finally been able to see one of my favorite bands of all time. they put on a hell of a show.

Aniiiice recap Holly!!! (changed it for ya....for how it probably went down!!!;))
oh, and fucking god did the mars volta suck balls. played the same damn thing they played night 1, including the 35 minute droning repetitive jam. horrible. :mad:
yeah, the weather sucked, but it was RAIN. not like there was a blizzard. i just don\'t understand why they didn\'t arrive in boston sooner.
Setlist: 10/20/06 - TD Banknorth Garden; Boston, MA
definitely the worst of the 5 shows i\'ve seen so far this tour.. really upsetting for them to play almost the exact same show both nights in boston (sans 1 song).. it was even worse for those of us who were at NJ1, because it was EXACTLY the same (except for the short encore).
the band was REALLY late (bad weather). it was announced between TMV and RHCP that RHCP wouldn\'t be going on until 10:15, and they were even gonna be giving refunds.. i didn\'t really understand the announcement of the postponment. it was actually postponed before The Mars Volta (their set started at 8:30 instead of the normal 7:30).. the time between TMV and RHCP was actually pretty close to what it\'s normally been..
also, why the hell is the band late for a show in boston, when their last show was 2 nights ago in new jersey?! yeah, the weather sucked, but it was RAIN. not like there was a blizzard. i just don\'t understand why they didn\'t arrive in boston sooner.
hoping for better tonight..
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM A FUCKING CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
long story short (cause i\'m leaving soon) -- my 10/18 recording EXISTS and has been FULLY RECOVERED!!!!!!!!
i knew i wasn\'t a big enough dumbass to NOT have hit record!!
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! :banana:
look for it tomorrow!
"Hump de Bump" will be the next U.S. single. The next international single will be "Desecration Smile" and the video will be shot in January by Gus Van Sant.
---
The band has commented on the single release, saying "Another exciting thing that is on the horizon for us is that we are going to make a video for the song Hump de Bump, and it is going to be directed by someone we truly admire and respect: the comic genius Chris Rock." This means that the song is going to be the fourth of seven songs released as a single from Stadium Arcadium, most likely within the first few months of early 2007.

RHCP WANTS YOU TO MAKE THEIR VIDEO
The RHCP contest to create the official video for "Charlie," from Stadium Arcadium is still going on through video-sharing website YouTube. After seeing so many creative videos for their songs on sites like YouTube, RHCP is looking for fans & up-and-coming directors to create their new video. The winning video will be the "official" video for the song.
The winner of the contest will receive $5,000 and a trip to meet Red Hot Chili Peppers and see them perform live in Paris, France on July 6th! To enter the contest, which runs through April 20th, eligible entrants should visit YouTube or can go here and follow the instructions to upload their video entry. The contest is open to entrants from the United States, UK, Germany, Australia, Canada and Sweden.
Lets shoot a Good Time Boys cover of the tune and submit it as a video.
Between the Toad\'s promo and the RHCP video contest, someone is brimming with good ideas today!
