Anthony Kiedis beszél arról, hogy miért hiányzik neki John Frusciante

Ha jól emlékszem, mióta John Frusciante elhagyta a Red Hot Chili Pepperst, a zenekar tagjai nem szívesen beszélnek erről, és nem is nagyon kerül szóba a dolog. Most viszont Anthony Kiedis egy interjúban megosztotta gondolatait Johnról, és hogy miért is hiányzik neki.

“[John is] a very special person to me, a special person to many people, but my experience with John was one of the most wonderful and easiest people to make music with. We could sit down on the floor, John and I, and I could take out a piece of paper, and I would say, ‘Okay, I wrote these words.’ He would say let me see those words, he would read them, and go okay. He would start to play something, I would start to sing it, and I would say, ‘Can you play something that feels like this?’ He would say, ‘Okay, let me try this.’ Then we would have a song. Never did I meet someone who was so easy to write songs with, and really good songs.

If I called him up and said, ‘I’m very sad today,’ he was like, ‘come over right now, we’re writing a song.’ So I would bring my sadness to John: ‘Sit down, get the notebook, start writing your feelings.’ Then we would have a song.

I miss him, but I also accept the separate lives. But I miss him.”

Anthony Kiedis megmentette egy kisbaba életét a Carpool Karaoke felvétele közben

Sokkal izgalmasabbra sikerült a pár napja bemutatott Carpool Karaoke felvétele, mint amennyit a videón láttunk. Anthony Kiedis elmesélte a Radio X-nek, hogy a felvétel szünetében egy nő rohant ki egy közeli házból, kezében a kisbabája, aki nem lélegzett. A zenekar odarohant, Anthony pedig gyerek szívmasszázst alkalmazott, és ezzel valószínűleg megmentette a baba életét. A Radio X oldalán megnézhető a videó, amiben erről beszél.
