After a long, long time with no news to report, there is finally some interesting info, a rather major news from Chad himself! After his older announcement that Red Hot Chili Peppers will get back and make new music, a new one appeared, stating exactly the same thing. This time, Chad Smith tells the band is about to reunite and work on something new in October.

“That’s the plan,” Smith tells, noting that what was announced as a one-year break turned into two for the quartet after touring to support 2005′s “Stadium Arcadium.” “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.”

He seems very excited about trying out new things with his bandmates. 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 acknowledges with a laugh that Rick Rubin, who’s produced the group’s last five studio efforts, “always ends up being the guy…”

The looming Chili Peppers sessions, with another Chickenfoot tour and and the first release of his instrumental side band Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats, make Smith “the bad guy”, but the other members of the all-star group have assured him they’ll continue to work according to his schedule.
