He's a driven person in the world of music and sound, and he wanted to change gears." įollowing Frusciante's departure, Kiedis stated that both he and Flea "had this intuitive feeling. He really wanted to do what he wants to do, on his own, without having to deal with the band dynamic, our band dynamic." Kiedis notes that, "John had become disenchanted with being in a touring rock band, which is completely understandable. They are supportive of my doing whatever makes me happy and that goes both ways." Regarding Frusciante's departure, Flea stated, "he just didn't want to do anymore. We were all emotionally and mentally zapped at the end of that run." During the band's self-imposed hiatus, Frusciante departed from the band for a second time, stating, "There was no drama or anger involved, and the other guys were very understanding. We started in 1999, with the writing and the recording of Californication, and we didn't really stop until the tour ended last year. According to vocalist Anthony Kiedis, there was a collective decision "not do anything Red Hot Chili Peppers-related for a minimum of one year. Things had gotten dysfunctional and not fun." During this time, Flea studied music theory at the University of Southern California, drummer Chad Smith recorded and toured with hard rock supergroup Chickenfoot, while guitarist John Frusciante recorded and released his 10th solo album, The Empyrean. I just felt like I wanted to take two years away just to really look and see if the band was something we should still be doing. Bassist Flea stated, "I talked everyone into it and some people were more prone to it than others.
In August 2007, at the close of the band's world tour in support of Stadium Arcadium (2006), the Peppers began a one-year hiatus, which subsequently stretched to more than two years. A Rolling Stone Reader's Poll named I'm with You the 8th best album of 2011 and the album was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. The album featured four singles, including alternative number-one hit, " The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie," " Monarchy of Roses," " Look Around" and " Brendan's Death Song." " Did I Let You Know" was released exclusively in Brazil thanks to response from a poll voted on by the fans, though it was not considered a proper single. The album received mixed reviews, with many praising newcomer Josh Klinghoffer for breathing new life into the veteran group. Produced by Rick Rubin, I'm with You was the band's first studio album since 2006's Stadium Arcadium, and its first to feature guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, following the departure of John Frusciante in 2009. The album made its debut at number one in 18 countries including the United Kingdom, while reaching number two in the United States and Canada. Records on August 26, 2011, in Europe and on August 29, 2011, in the US.
I'm with You is the tenth studio album by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers.
