Coming Attractions: RHCP

A new Chili Peppers CD is on the way.

It's been almost four years since the Red Hot Chili Peppers put out an album of new material, but that's about to change with the release of the two-CD Stadium Arcadium in April. The Rick Rubin-produced songs were originally planned to be released as a trilogy, with a new album being released every six months. "The third record made it interesting for us, because two records have been done in different configurations," RHCP singer Anthony Kiedis told NME.com. "System [Of A Down] did it. Guns 'N Roses did something similar, but three seemed sort of special, and we really got behind this idea until we realised that the third record wouldn't really be coming out for two years. It was like, 'This music needs to be heard now,' and two years from now we'll have new songs."
