Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith made a surprise visit to the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, England on November 21st, 2011. During his three hour stay, Chad shared some of his near 40 years drumming experience teaching ACM’s students.
“I wish at a younger age I’d been more well-rounded – listened to other music…it might not be the kind of stuff you listen to on your iPod, but it’s great for drumming….be open to all different kinds of good music.” - Chad Smith

Rhythm Magazine Interview - October, 2011. Read it here…
Stadium-Arcadium.com recently spoke to Melanee, the lead female actor in the music video for The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie! The Los Angeles based actor, producer, model, and singer shared some info with us about how the new Red Hot Chili Peppers single sounds, and, although she can’t share too much with us at this time (under production conditions), she even told us a little bit about the music video itself!
The Lead Female Role on RHCP’s New Single…
The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie has that funky Red Hot Chili Peppers bass beat you’d expect from Flea, meshed perfectly with a rhythm from Chad Smith you can’t help but want to bounce up and down to, groovin’ quirky lyricism from Anthony Kiedis, and some fresh string action from the “new” guy in town, Josh Klinghoffer. I’d call it very danceable and I hope people really enjoy rockin’ out to it – we certainly did, literally all day long!
As for the video, I don’t want to say too much, but I think it’s safe to say that Kreayshawn came up with a wicked awesome concept and you’re really going to love seeing what all the guys are doing– it’s like a bad-ass short film!
Interview coming soon…
Once the Music Video for The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie has aired, Melanee has kindly agreed to do an interview about the video for Stadium-Arcadium.com! We’re inviting fans to pose their questions to her and then we’ll pick a few of the best ones to ask! If you can think of a good question then please post it on our forum HERE and we’ll consider it for inclusion in our list of interview questions. Stay tuned for the interview!
