Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith talks about the NEW Red Hot Chili Peppers Album, John's departure and the arrival of RHCP's new guitarist, 'Josh Klinghoffer' in a NEW interview with MusicRadar released today!

MusicRadar asks Chad about RHCP's NEW Guitarist Josh Klinghoffer... How has Josh Klinghoffer been working out? "We're all thrilled to have Josh be part of the group now. He's been a friend of ours for a long time. He's played with us, he's played with John - he's a real natural fit.

"Josh is a real creative force. He's going to play guitar, he's going to write music, he's going to sing and play keyboards. The guy is amazing. And the great thing is, we didn't have to go through that whole dating phase that happens sometimes and winds up weird. It's not like we held these open auditions and got in somebody who we had to figure out. We know what Josh can do and we're excited."

Interview Summary
Chad estimates that they'll go in to the studio some time around July 2010 to record/finalize the current 20 tracks they have (More tracks may arise). So we're looking at the originally proposed October/winter period of 2010 as a realistic time for the release of the Album!

Chad also goes on to say that Flea's gone back to learning music theory and playing at USC's school of music. As a result there will be a number of Flea's piano driven melodies on the new Album as Chad mentioned in an interview previously. Josh will also contribute keyboard and vocals to the band's new sound! The Interview has also confirmed that Rick Rubin will produce the new Album.
