Red Hot Chili Peppers Reveal LSD Influence Behind New Album
It's been five years since the release of the sprawling epic that was 'Stadium Arcadium' and Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to return with their 10th album and, according to frontman Anthony Kiedis, the band have named the new collection after a friend's experience with LSD.
Speaking to Spin, Kiedis revealed that the album has the working title of 'Dr Johnny Skinz's Disproportionately Rambunctious Polar Express Machine-head' -- a moniker that really -- ahem -- trips off the tongue.
"He [the friend] was reminiscing about one of his legendary acid trips," Kiedis said, "and told us that he had been playing a sold-out show to the planets and moons, and his No. 1 hit was, well, that title."
Kieidis was quick to point out that the name might not stick beyond the recording process. He added, "We found it so funny that we told him for as long as the album was under the radar, that that would be our nickname for it."
The singer went on to explain that a combination of guitarist John Frusciante's departure -- since replaced by Josh Klinghoffer -- and bassist Flea's piano lessons had altered the dynamic of the band in a positive way.
"Before, some of our jams were a bit hit-and-miss," Kiedis said. "On this record, a decent number of songs were actually thought out and planned in a way we had never done before. That is, with Flea's new knowledge of music theory, we explored the writing process with a bit more precision."
No release date has yet been set for the new album.

On May 6, 2010, Chad Smith said that the band had around twenty songs written and he expected that recording on the next album would commence in July 2010. Rick Rubin will once again return as producer. Smith commented on their new sound, explaining that Klinghoffer would also sing and play keyboards for the band. Smith also mentioned that as a result of having studied music theory at USC, Flea would incorporate a lot of piano-driven melodies.[66] The album is expected to be released in late 2010 or early 2011.
Cant wait.. totally forgot about rhcp since the last album.

Eh, everyone in that band has admitted to taking every drug under the sun. I don't see why admitting to taking LSD would be that big of a deal.

RHCP don't have to admit shit for you to know they did a bunch of acid.
i mean look at where/when they came up... you don't play funky punk rock in LA in 1983 without a decent amount of drugs in your system.

-------------------- I share the belief of many of my contemporaries that the spiritual crisis pervading all spheres of Western industrial society can be remedied only by a change in our world view. We shall have to shift from the materialistic, dualistic belief that people and their environment are separate, toward a new conciousness of an all-encompassing reality, which embraces the experiencing ego, a reality in which people feel their oneness with animate nature and all of creation.- Albert Hoffman

Liars. Nobody uses LSD because it's illegal and, therefore, nobody can get it. Ever.

If you read the book "scar Tissue" Anthony Kiedis's auto biography, he goes into great detail about every drug he's done which includes many LSD trips. Great read if you never have before, really makes you appreciate the music so much more seeing where it developed and came from.
