Amazing how Josh looks like a young John.

Red Hot Chili Peppers will release their new album, I'm With You, on August 30, 2011, according to bass player Flea.

Flea was unable to contain his excitement when he announced the title and release date on Twitter, writing: “I'm With You August 30th!!! whahoooooo!!! yip! yippeeee!!!! whaaaaaaa!!!!!!! yes y3es ys ye s yes yes yeyeyeye yes yes yeslovelovelove.”

The album was originally rumored to be titled Dr. Johnny Skin’s Disproportionately Rambunctious Polar Express Machine-head. It was produced by the legendary Rick Rubin (Slayer, Metallica, Johnny Cash), and the first single, "The Adventures Of Raindance Maggie," will be released on July 18.

The album is the first to feature former Warpaint guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who stepped in after John Frusciante quit the band in 2009. Klinghoffe collaborated with Frusciante on several of the latter's solo discs, and was along to provide additional guitar, keys and backing vocals on RHCP's Stadium Arcadium tour in 2007.

very cool, RHCP fan from way back. No, make the way way back, early Cali days. Cousin turned me on to them. I remember my first response was along the lines of WTF? Their on stage antics could not keep me away from the great music.
 
I stopped listening to the Chilis when Hillel Slovak died.
 
I love Hillel, believe me I do. but the Chili's went to a whole other level with John. Maybe thats cause I was literally no older than 1 when John joined. But RHCP with John has a special place in my heart. My oldw Windows media player kept track of my songs played. And in one summer, I believe between my Sophomore and Senior year I literally played Californication 850+ Times. That was also letting it run through the night too though. I dont think there is one song I dislike on Mothers Milk, BSSM, Californication, By The Way, and even Stadium Arcadium.. although Stadium Arcadium was just so much music it was harder to digest than the other albums.

But I def got into the Hillel era

Man, when I turned on and tuned in, these were the dark days of rock. Shit, even the Stones were tipping their collective hats to disco, with platters like" Miss You". Cousin had a bootleg tape, yeah a cassette tape, of some wild ass rockers..hehe

I am just happy to see that they have , for the most part been able to continue through the changes and make great tunes still.

I don't want to give the impression that I dislike RHCP. It's just that I LOVED them with Hillel and thought they lost a lot of what made them special to me when he died.

no I didnt take it that way at all. I think we have had this discussion like 3 times now lol. I love the Hillel stuff as well, I just had to explain why I relate to John and later era (F Dave Navarro) :cheers:
 
I hope it's more Californication than Stadium Arcadium.

Epic album.
 
I listened to Californication every day for probably close to two years in high school. Listened to Stadium Arcadium a lot too just because it was new at the time. In my old age I've been into Blood Sugar Sex Magik the most though and like By the Way a lot better too.

Interested to see how this turns out with a new guitarist. They seem to have a progressively "cleaner" sound with each album.

Anthony Kiedis' first press interview about it. And some comments from the others. Kiedis' mustache is crazy lol

"There is no question – this is a beginning," Anthony Kiedis, singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, says in his first interview about the band's new album, I'm With You, which is released by Warner Bros. on August 30th. "Yeah, the sun is just coming up here."

Produced by Rick Rubin, I'm With You is the Los Angeles quartet's first studio album since the 2006 double-disk set, Stadium Arcadium. The 14-song record also marks the debut of the Chili Peppers' new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who joined in the fall of 2009 following the departure of John Frusciante. The latter guitarist had been a crucial writer as well as player on the Chili Peppers' biggest albums, including 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik and 1999's Californication. But after he quit, Kiedis and bassist Flea "had this intuitive feeling," the singer says. "We're not really done. We wanted to maintain the Red Hot Chili Peppers if we could do it in a way that upheld historically what we had accomplished.

Exclusive Photos and Excerpts from 'The Red Hot Chili Peppers: An Oral and Visual History'

"There were some interesting conversations," Kiedis goes on, "about do we try to find someone we don't know, or maybe there is somebody right in our own backyard who is the perfect solution." Klinghoffer, 31, was a veteran sideman who had recorded and toured with Beck, PJ Harvey and Tricky, among many others. He was also a friend of Frusciante's, working on several of that guitarist's solo records, and had performed with the Chili Peppers on their last world tour, playing extra guitar and keyboards.

"I felt like I had the experience," Klinghoffer says in his first-ever press interview, sitting next to Kiedis on a couch in the singer's Malibu home. "There was no real adjustment. This is playing music with people I admire and who have been friends for years."

"Josh has not lacked the necessary assertions," Kiedis notes. "His voice is as dominant as any other voice on the record." That is literally true. In addition to playing guitar, Klinghoffer contributed keyboards and backing vocals. He also co-wrote the music with Kiedis, Flea and drummer Chad Smith.

The album's first single, "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie," is a hard-pop spin on classic Chili Peppers funk, with a creeping bass line and a marching-disco rhythm in the chorus reminiscent of the late-Seventies Rolling Stones. In fact, Flea likens the rich propulsive interplay on I'm With You – the mix of jamming exploration, textural guitar details and savvy hooks in songs such as "The Monarchy of Roses," "Factory of Faith" and "Goodbye Hooray" – to the classic Stones albums like Exile on Main Street and Tattoo You that he listened to religiously as the Chili Peppers wrote and improvised on new material in 2009 and 2010. "It's about a feeling and a song." Flea says of the connection, "about everyone embracing the moment of the song, not always about the riff."

The Chili Peppers are currently in rehearsals and plan to tour extensively in support of I'm With You. "Forever" is how Flea puts it. "I know when we write mediocre stuff, and when we write good stuff," Kiedis says. "I can't wait to go out and play this."

You deprived yourself of some incredible music. Bloodsugarsexmagik is in my list of 10 greatest albums ever, regardless of genre.

Album Cover is out
 
Wait...people still like RHCP?

Just kidding. :) They kind of fell off the map for me in the past decade (Californication was the last album I really paid attention to). Impressive that they're still successful, what, 25 years on?
