    Saw Chad play long before RHCP at the Sidestreet Lounge, a bar in Allen Park, MI. I was 19 with a fake ID. His band was Toby Redd, I believe. Good times. Met him very briefly when RHCP were doing an interview for a PBS program in downtown Detroit but it was fleetingly quick. They gave us free passes to the show that night. One of my favorite concerts ever with RHCP headlining with the warmup bands being The Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam. What a night.

    A long time ago (late 80's?), I used to play in a band with Duffy King in Detroit. We would occasionally open for a band called Toby Red. After we were done playing, Duffy and I would stay and watch them just to see their drummer. He was SO GOOD! Yes, you probably figured it out by now, it was Chad. His energy and groove was on a different level even then.

    I actually knew DH Peligro very well. I played in his solo band Peligro for a short stint when I lived in Los Feliz (Atwater Village). My roommate was Angelo Moore from Fishbone. His girlfriend threw him out their apartment because he wouldn’t clean the bed or do the house chores when she was away at work 😅! Anyway another story. I also met Chad Smith around two weeks after he got the Chili Pepper gig. DH told me that he got kicked out of the band because of his heroine use and that it was affecting and rubbing off of Anthony Kiedis work performance. Landy?… I think was the name of the manager of the Chili Peppers? DH heard that he told Flea, that they didn’t want him because he was being a bad influence to Anthony and since he was black, the look of the band didn’t coincide with the management image of a "all white funk rock band". DH told me that Flea cried to him on the phone that they had to let him go from the band. Flea considered DH one of his best friends. This is true. Flea and John stopped by a few times when we rehearsed at my place. Former 24-7 Spyz drummer Tobias Ralph was our drummer in Peligro. Those were good times! I miss DH, he was so funny and such a cool guy to hang out with, as well as John Frusciante!

    Hey Rick take a listen to Broken Record with Rick Rubin. He did interviews with every member of the Red Hot Chili Pepper and they talked about how Chad's audition came to be. Everything here for the most part is true except there is a friend of the band who recommended Chad Smith. With that said, they did know that he was coming because their friend told them, "he eats drums for breakfast." It is this reason that when he comes into the room to audition Flea says, "is that your breakfast," referring to the drums.

    Micheal is something else with his psychology. I recently watched the meeting Korn had with him before they chose him to produce their album untouchables. Micheal sat there on the couch and was like “I’m here if you want to make your masterpiece, if you don’t than F$&@ off.” And they chose him. Probably because a lot of musicians are so damn used to getting their asses kissed that he completely surprised them by having the guts to talk to them like that. The album ended up costing 5 million dollars to make. One of the most expensive records to make ever. And several members of korn didn’t like it. Typically the members who later admitted they were messed up on drugs through the process of making that album. But I think it’s hard to argue about the production on that record. It’s not korns best songs. But it is Korns best recording in my opinion. And he managed to get it out of them with an injured drummer who had surgery in the middle of pre production and a couple guys messed up on drugs.

You’re the guy!?” They hated his Motley Crue or Guns N Roses shirt .. some Hair Metal band …They automatically hated him .. they told him to come back the following day but they didn’t like his long hair so they told him to cut it bald 😂 they thought he’d never come back 😂 the next day she shows up Bald 😂 and the starts playing wit them .. Flea was like “Fuck this guy.. he’s not gonna hang wit us” and when they started playing Flea and everyone in the band got scared because they couldn’t Keep up wit Chad 😂 the rest was history 😂

    In the pantheon of great drummers, Chad Smith won't be listed - he's ok, but doesn't live in the same world as the Pearts, Bonhams or Moons of this world.
