Red Hot Chili Peppers: First Single Preview Posted Online

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are planning to release album "Stadium Arcadium" on May 8th as the long awaited follow-up to 2002's 8-million selling "By The Way". Check out 30-seconds clips of the first single, Dani California, using the links below:

Windows Media Player: Hi, Lo

Quicktime: Hi, Lo

Originally conceived as a trilogy with 38 songs in contention, "Stadium Arcadium" will be a 25 tracks double album with titles including the first single "Dani California" as well as other songs such as "Snow", "Animal Bar", "Wet Sand", "Charlie",
"Desecration Smile" and "Hard To Concentrate".

"Stadium Arcadium" will be preceded by the release of the single "Dani California" on May 1st. Dani California is to be released first as a ringtone on 13th March. The band’s back catalogue is also expected to materialize on download services during March 2006.

The band -- Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante and Chad Smith -- entered the studio last March with producer Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys, System Of A Down) to commence work upon the album and all contributed equally to the new material.

Having played three gargantuan shows at Hyde Park eighteen months ago to a total of 300,000 people, plans are afoot to the band to return to the UK live arena later this year.

Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to play a stadium tour this summer in support of their upcoming double album "Stadium Arcadium". The tour represents their first UK shows since 2004's gargantuan gigs at Hyde Park and also includes a headline slot at T in the Park.

06/30 - Ipswich, Portman Road - 0871 230 2608

[Kryptonite_0194]

Looking forward to seeing them on 5th of June @ pinkpop !!!

Dani California sounds nice

[nirvana_89_94]

[SlashNX]

Dani California sounds pretty cool, but if it wasnt for Antony's vocals you wouldn't be able to recognise it to be a Chilis song!

[Headacher]

[top_hat_rocker1]

Gud song, anthemic sounding, sounds cool. This could be an amazing album, or, with 25 songs, it could feature a lot of filler, but seeing as though its RHCP, ive got a lot of faith in them

[JFrusciante]

[J3ZZA]

The single didn't seem very unique, i'm fed up of bands making songs about bloody california but i hope they prove me wrong That vid does show just how much this album has to live up to though.

[AllWthnMyHands]

I love RHCP, I'm buyin' this album!

[ellsvill2006]

Brilliant stuff! im going to see them in june at derby! i was worriedat first that the new songs wouldn't live up to their hype. But these guys are geniuses and ALWAYS live up to the hype.

[elcapitan1800]

hard_rock101 :

the last 30 seconds of the clip is Dani California. Cant wait, who doesnt love RHCP?

[IsThereLoveInSp]

The single seems pretty average to me...

Ill probably get the album, but that said, I think theyre much better as a singles band than an albums band.

[manthtscrazy]

dude i cant wait man this will be the best cd out by any good bands in a long time its gonna get emo the **** outta here RHCP kick ass!!

[roo6339]

i'm curious... the clip was nothing special, but you only got 30 seconds... not enough to determine a song.

[R0CKER1220]

sweet, can't wait, Chili peppers kick ass

[Andras5soul]

song sounds average, but i know there will be tons of better songs on the album, the first single in this decade of music has to be a simple and safe tune, unfortunately even for bands like the chili peppers. aside from the great guitar in the song, i was not impressed what so ever. we'll see how it all turns out, i expect great things thouhg.

[Guitar_Dude777]

wow sounds soo awesome

[IsThereLoveInSp]

Yeah cause there are so many popular emo bands *rolls eyes*

[chilipepper24]

this sounds amazing, i got chills when i heard it a few days ago. RHCP is my favorite band, i couldn't be more excited for this album. this song sounds awesome for a single, can't wait for all the other stuff on there.

AHHHHH CHILIS RULE!!!!!\M/

OMG CAN U ACTUALLY THINK OF A BETTER BAND, I DARE YOU 2

second this.

[Funky M0nk]

Single sounds better than expected, looking forward to the album...but why are they releasing the single on May 1st? I though it was April 3rd or something.

[punk_mike_88]

I love the Chili Peppers this cd will kick ass!!

[samlynch]

yay for rhcp

[juniorfr3ak]

wow yeah
Il buy it definately

Seems someone is suffering from a sarcasm deficiency.

I'm sorry if this has been overdone... but seriously... even if he is kidding i'm sure there is SOMEONE reading this wondering the exact same thing. but....




RCHP KICK ASS!!!! w00t!! Thank god they're back...

[team_seagull]

cool video. "dani" sounds pretty promising

[C3_Rocka]

I have heard of em, but Green Day ARE better . i live in in ipwsich so I'll prolly go see em

[i_am_iron_man09]

YES!!!!! I can die a happy man once this comes out!

[Kirk_hammet2]

cool

[Katfury]

Cool and I'm going to see them when they arrived in the U.K.

[WrathofKahn]

Good god this album's gonna rock

[Pysmone]

This is by far the album that I've been most excited about coming ever. :-p

[jolson27]

im really excited for this album to come out. Definitely gonna be on my top 10 (maybe even 5) albums of the year.

that is one wicked cool little movie.

[Cliff_Hetfield]

C3_Rocka :
I have heard of em, but Green Day ARE better .

HAHAHA!!! Dude the song In the end on Dookie is the same as Jaded on Insomniac. Same Chords and Notes just faster rhythm on Jaded. So no Green Day are not better. Oh and least RHCP uses one Guitarist who plays both Rhythm and Lead, and uses Barre Chords and not another Guitarist who plays Lead to a shitty rhythm guitarist who uses the same cheap ass powerchords on every album.

[harl91]

im, i belive that this is a rhcp news thing, not a greenday thing, so keep your "green day is better" crap out of this.

rhcp has talent, they could beat green day in an improve battle anyday

anyways, i hope to see some better stuff then by the way on this album. I want to see some more slap, thats all i want. that would make the album great

Sure, theres no argument that RHCP are much better in a technical aspect, but I like more than just Green Day's singles, which is more than I can say for RHCP

[Ballbreaker109]

on behalf of my freind who is curently banned we agree with hari91

[Biggs]

I'm seeing them at Portman Road...Woo!

[Ballbreaker109]

only one thing, my friend and dont think rhcp need to improve at all were sure this next album WILL

[Ballbreaker109]

OMG CAN U ACTUALLY THINK OF A BETTER BAND, I DARE YOU 2

I thought of A LOT of funny things to say here...starting with Milli Vanilli, but its too easy of a joke. It almost be as lame as the guy going "are these guys as good as Green Day and Maroon 5." Dumbass.

Im excited for this album, I'm still craving some old skool Chili stuff though, some Mother's Milk, BSSM stuff...maybe I'll get it

[Jennbello]

Holy shit.... how did Green day even get into this arguement? Thier 2 completely different things, you cant compare them.

Besides that though, thier amazing and i hope this album is awesome.

Well, that and Green Day sucks.

Anyways, i'm looking forward to RHCP's new album, it sounds like it's going to be ****ing awesome.

Legit post, my girlfriend never heard of them before, until she met me that is. But i call people who never heard of RHCP deprived people, also known as country fans. But they don't know what there missing. I'm sure that this cd will be great, like all their other ones.

[wahappenISSEXY<3]

I think this makes me lose all faith in humanity. I can't think of anything else to say except... god damn it. (read that in a somber voice)
