Here is yet another new interview with drummer Chad Smith where he talks about his new Bombastic Meatbats project, as well as his other band – Chickenfoot. But he also talks about Red Hot Chili Peppers, even though, so it seems, he’d rather skip those questions – especially when it comes to John Frusciante. Looks like something is definitely going on, but we’re not supposed to find out what yet.

Here is a short part of the interview about Red Hot Chili Peppers:

So the Chilis have finally returned to work, following the 2006 double-set Stadium Arcadium. Did guitarist John Frusciante, who in recent interviews seemed to express antipathy towards doing so, take some persuading?
[Sounding uncomfortable]: Well… at this time I can’t talk about that. I have been told to stay away from the John questions.

Nevertheless, the tenth album is underway?
What I can tell you is that the Chili Peppers are writing songs, and we’re looking forward to making a record next year.

Who might produce it?
I really can’t go into any more detail than what I’ve said.

That’s all that’s been said and it seems that we won’t get more details any time soon, so we can only speculate… If you want to read the whole interview by Dave Ling, and find out what else Chad’s been up to with his other two bands, go to classicrockmagazine.com
