selfcensorship, maybe? Not a chance! Red Hot<br />
Chili Peppers say they have never played better.<br />
The musicians must be very close to each other<br />
- as song-writers and composers - as well as<br />
personally, because their tight-yet-easy<br />
relationship resulted in 28 songs on two CDs:<br />
Mars and Jupiter. According to singer Anthony<br />
Kiedis, the band's ninth recording is their best<br />
so far. It was also caused by an abundance of<br />
creativity, and from this, an internal<br />
competition for songs, and hard work on each<br />
track. Those that did not satisfy everyone<br />
involved (including Rick Rubin, the long-term<br />
producer of the band) simply were not<br />
included.<br />
The band speaks about<br />
a similar atmosphere which<br />
distinguished their record<br />
“Californication.” But they say<br />
that “Stadium Arcadium” was<br />
conceived and born in an even<br />
friendlier atmosphere and<br />
with greater ease. According<br />
to Kiedis, the band was not<br />
pressured by any deadlines<br />
and it played just for the<br />
recording itself. That's why<br />
they had time to develop even<br />
seemingly meaningless ideas.<br />
But what ideas? For fans, the answer to this<br />
question is of key importance. Did Red Hot<br />
Chilli Peppers lean towards harder rock, did<br />
they add more electronics, did they give way to<br />
RED HOT<br />

their weakness for good quality pop, or did<br />
bass guitarist Flea recall his early idols from the<br />
jazz period? Or is it a hefty funk?<br />
Maybe all this mixed<br />
together. Guitarist John<br />
Frusciante is rumoured to be<br />
at his best, and because of<br />
the mention of the<br />
“Californication” recording<br />
we can also expect several<br />
very melodic pieces. Fans of<br />
their music can also get<br />
a clear picture of the album<br />
and concert in Sazka Arena<br />
on the basis of two quotes<br />
which appeared in connection<br />
with “Stadium<br />
Arcadium.” According to<br />
Flea: “Anyone who doesn't like our new<br />
recording can't like Red Hot Chili Peppers.” And<br />
partial information released by sound master<br />
Ryan Hewitt: “Everybody is asking me whether<br />
there will be more funk on the recording. All<br />
I can say is: Yes.”
