Red Hot Chili Peppersin rumpali Chad Smith kertoo soittamisen kitaristi John Frucianten kanssa olevan jälleen ”Todella hauskaa”

Red Hot Chili Peppersin rumpali Chad Smith kertoo uudelleen käynnistyneen yhteistyön kitaristi John Fruscianten kanssa olevan todella hauskaa. Fruciante liittyi takaisin Red Hot Chili Peppersiin joulukuussa 2019 Josh Klinghofferin erottamisen jälkeen, joka oli soittanut bändissä 10 vuoden ajan. Smith kommentoi yhteistyötä SiriusXM-radiokanavan Pop Rocks-ohjelmalle antamassaan haastattelussa seuraavanlaisesti:

”He’s back in the group, and it’s really exciting and fun, and we just kind of picked up where we left off. We’ve known each other for so long — obviously, 30-plus years — so it’s like putting on a nicely well-worn pair of shoes that feel really good, and you get back in there and it’s comfortable and a little bit different, but still we’re doing our thing. So it’s been really fun.”

”There’s been no hurry, with what’s happened over the last year or so. So we’ve been kind of taking our time, and we have lots of new music, and we’re very excited about it, and when it’s done, it’s done, and we’ll put it out, and we’ll go play some concerts next year. We look forward to being in front of people again, like everybody wants to be so badly, us included. Not only having new music to play, but also we just wanna play live. And that’s such an important part of life’s experiences and certainly of being a band. It’s really important to us. We were gonna play last summer. But we want it to be safe for everyone and a really good experience for everyone, so we pushed everything off, but we’re coming back, and it’s gonna be great.”

”I’m extremely comfortable with those people. It was as if no time had gone by at all when we started playing, pretty much, with a couple of minor exceptions, like how Chad and I gradually got our communication together in a new way. Basically, we’re all just as comfortable with each other as we ever were, and it just felt like that right off the bat.”
