New article published March 29th, 2012
“If you had come up to me and said, ‘Hey, you’re going to move to California and join the Chili Peppers and sell millions of records and travel all over the world and then 25 years later you’re going to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,’ I’d have said, ‘You are (absolutely) high!”

Anthony Kiedis talks to RollingStone Magazine about RHCP’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2012!
Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis got the news while his band was touring Europe. “The most emotional part for me was thinking about [late Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist] Hillel Slovak … It’s really kind of his induction that I’m the most excited about. He’s a beautiful person that picked up a guitar in the 1970s and didn’t make it out of the 1980s, and he is getting honored for his beauty … It really fills my heart with the reality of how much we love doing what we do, and how much Flea and I love each other. We have stuck together through thick and thin and we want to keep on trucking and continuing to do what it is we do.”

New interview with Flea in Rolling Stone Magazine February 2012.
Flea talks about the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, collecting rare books and three decades of funk.
I never would’ve played bass if not for Hillel. I was a jazz trumpet player, and he said, “Dude! You should learn how to play bass and be in my band. “Two weeks later, we were onstage at the Troubadour. Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak and I raised each other, and they schooled me on Zeppelin and Hendrix. Hillel really loved rock & roll. He lived for it, so going into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame would have been a dream. To share this moment with him in the spirit world is sad and tragic, but also beautiful.

Anthony, Flea and Chad talk about the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Past, Present and Future in a newly released Interview…
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!

“I don’t take drugs nor drink since 2000 and I must say that I don’t think about it anymore, although like every person that was addicted and has money – I know that this can lead to temptation.” – Anthony Kiedis 2012
