צ'אד סמית ענה אתמול על שאלות מעריצים באתר reddit ובין השאר הייתה גם שיחה מעניינת בינו לבין וויל פארל וגם סנופ דוג!!!
Q: What is it like to play drums naked in front of a live audience are you ever afraid you will hit your dong with a drumstick
A: Playing live concerts is the lifeblood of any band. If you don't play concerts, you're half a band. If you're in the studio writing and recording songs, it's half of the experience, the other half is playing live in front of your fans.
.I can do triplets without my feet
?Q: Hey Chad, do any gigs stand out as favourite gigs or favourite locations to perform
I'm Irish and absolutely love the Live at Slane DVD especially with the solos in that dvd.
A: I was gonna say the Slane castle one, the nice Irish people. We're so fortunate we have such great audiences. Other than you CRAZY Irish people whom we love, the South Americans are right up there with you.
Q: Hey Chad! Longtime fan here! I'm hoping whether you can share some info on that "unreleased" album you guys made back in the early 2000s ?that included "Leverage of Space" and "Rolling Sly Stone". Is there any chance of you guys releasing that album in the future
A: Wow, you are a true fan. You know we recorded a bunch of songs when we did our tour, the 2 songs that we put on our Greatest Hits album, and someday they will come out on some sort of box set or something
?Q: Hey Chad does being in the Chili Peppers feel any different without John Frusciante? How long did it take with Josh for things to click
A: Yea, I mean, John is a beautiful person and a fantastic musician and we are forever grateful for having him in our band. Josh is his own man and we love him and we're very lucky to have such a dedicated musician playing with us.
Q: Hey Chad, what is your favourite Peppers album you guys made to date?
?Also, is the drum battle with Will Ferrell really going to happen
A: I would say Blood Sugar Sex Magik was my favorite to make. Very exciting time for the band.
That's a good question! That's kinda up to Mr. Ferrell. I did see his instagram thing and I have to comment that I think Mr. Ferrell is a delusional imposter. It seems to me that he has gone off his meds and he needs to seek professional help because I am obviously more talented and handsome than he is. You know, his cowbell work is well-documented, but his drumset skills are nominal based on Step Brothers the film. Other than wiping his testicles on the drums, which of course I give high marks to. BUT I can continue... if he chooses to accept the drum battle, which of course, I will take him downtown like Julie Brown Chinatown...If I LOSE, I will work free of charge as his stand-in on his next film or wash his car for the duration of filming. But if I WIN, he has to give me free pedicures for a year. Gotta take care of your feet!The ball's in his court.
No pun intended.
Q: Chad, as a drummer who also loves guitar, I admire you man! I love those Jaguars I see you with every now and then! Is that your favorite guitar?
Tell us a little about the guitar side of you.
A: I am a HACK on the guitar. But I do love to play it, I think the guitar is a beautiful instrument, and I have quite a few acoustic guitars, but I must say my favorite is a 1964 Stratocaster that John Frusciante gave me.
?Q: How was it to work with Johnny Cash
A: One of the highlights of my life. Just an incredibly talented, wonderful man. That's all I can say, it was one of the highlights of my career, being able to record with Johnny Cash, and he was a real gentleman.
?Q: Hey Chad, how come you guys don't play any songs from the One Hot Minute era
A: We don't really feel that connected to that record anymore. No special reason, not to say we would never play those songs but we don't feel that emotionally connected to that music right now.
Q: Hey Chad, big fan. What's the most fun chili peppers song to play live. Also is there any songs you guys wish you could play live more often?
Thanks, hope you guys start on a new album soon!!
A: Favorite songs to play live, I always enjoy the last song because then I know it's time to get into the shower. And we're starting to write songs and a new album next week.
Q: What is your view on the future of rock music today? Do you think that rock bands will eventually fizzle out or do you think that there will be a resurgence of that style and attitude in popular music?
A: as long as there's somebody in their bedroom listening to the blues, because Rock n' roll is based on the blues, I am hopeful and confident that someone will come up with a new and creative way to present their ideas and someone will do that. And I'm hopeful it's within my lifetime.
Q: Hi Chad! I’m a huge fan. I finally got to see RHCP on the I’m With You tour and it absolutely blew me away.
So I just wanted to ask you:
-You guys seem like absolute work horses in the studio, recording a ton of music, how do you decide which songs make the cut out of so many songs? Has the advent of digital music sites made the process easier, knowing that you can easily release those discarded songs if you so choose?
-How did you get involved with Chickenfoot? Are there plans for a new album?
Thanks so much for all the great music!
A: We do record a lot of music, that is true. We're very democratic about everything in our band, and choosing the songs is no different. We all kind of vote on it, we do these little secret votes, and often a lot of the songs that all end up on the record, there are always 3 or 4 we kind of need to lobby for. It's a fun process. That's how we do it.
I got involved with Chickenfoot because I have a house in Cabo San Lucas in Mexico where all my other children are, and Sammy Hagar is like the mayor of Cabo, so that basically was how it started, jamming at his club. I hope something happens in the future with Chickenfoot, but right now everyone is kind of busy.
Will farrell: Hi, Chad. Will Ferrell here. I saw your video and I graciously accept your invitation to a drum battle. If we can raise $300,000 for Cancer For College I will face off with you in the greatest drum vs. cowbell showdown the world has ever seen. We can do it on stage at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert or in front of a mutually convenient public library. Your call.
Also, would you rather fight a hundred duck sized ducks or one horse sized horse?
!Chad: Hey Will, I've logged back in JUST to accept your challenge. Bring IT
