透露了将发表的首支单曲，以及专辑中的部份曲目！ http://ppt.cc/UCRK "There is no question – this is a beginning," Anthony Kiedis, singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, says in his first interview about the band's new album, I'm With You, which is released by Warner Bros. on August 30th. "Yeah, the sun is just coming up here." "无庸置疑，这是一个开端" AK在"I'm With You"，红椒最新专辑的访谈中如此说。 "没错，太阳照样升起" Produced by Rick Rubin, I'm With You is the Los Angeles quartet's first studio album since the 2006 double-disk set, Stadium Arcadium. The 14-song record also marks the debut of the Chili Peppers' new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who joined in the fall of 2009 following the departure of John Frusciante. The latter guitarist had been a crucial writer as well as player on the Chili Peppers' biggest albums, including 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik and 1999's Californication. But after he quit, Kiedis and bassist Flea "had this intuitive feeling," the singer says. "We're not really done. We wanted to maintain the Red Hot Chili Peppers if we could do it in a way that upheld historically what we had accomplished. 新专辑总共有14首歌，接替John的吉他手是Josh Klingfoffer， John离团後，AK与Flea有一种直觉告诉他们： "我们还没玩完。我们想要维持呛辣红椒，维持我们长久以来完成的成果" "There were some interesting conversations," Kiedis goes on, "about do we try to find someone we don't know, or maybe there is somebody right in our own backyard who is the perfect solution." Klinghoffer, 31, was a veteran sideman who had recorded and toured with Beck, PJ Harvey and Tricky, among many others. He was also a friend of Frusciante's, working on several of that guitarist's solo records, and had performed with the Chili Peppers on their last world tour, playing extra guitar and keyboards. AK接着说： "在寻找递补人选的过程中有一些很有意思的对话，我们想要找一个我们不认识的人， 或是这个人已经在我们身边很久了，而他刚是最好的解答" Klinghoffer是一位经验相当丰富的伴奏，他与许多大咖录制且巡回过。 同时也是John的朋友，与他合作数张个人专辑，并且在红椒的上次世界巡回中， 担任第二吉他与键盘手。 "I felt like I had the experience," Klinghoffer says in his first-ever press interview, sitting next to Kiedis on a couch in the singer's Malibu home. "There was no real adjustment. This is playing music with people I admire and who have been friends for years." Josh首次在媒体访问中谈到： "我觉得我有足够的经验。因此这中间没有调适的问题。 很单纯是和一群我仰慕且相交多年的朋友一起玩音乐如此而已" "Josh has not lacked the necessary assertions," Kiedis notes. "His voice is as dominant as any other voice on the record." That is literally true. In addition to playing guitar, Klinghoffer contributed keyboards and backing vocals. He also co-wrote the music with Kiedis, Flea and drummer Chad Smith. AK补充："Josh没有被边缘化(?)。他的声音就像专辑中其他声音具有相同优势。" 确实没错。Josh除了担任吉他演奏，亦包办了键盘与和音的工作。 并且与其他三人共同创作。 The album's first single, "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie," is a hard-pop spin on classic Chili Peppers funk, with a creeping bass line and a marching-disco rhythm in the chorus reminiscent of the late-Seventies Rolling Stones. In fact, Flea likens the rich propulsive interplay on I'm With You – the mix of jamming exploration, textural guitar details and savvy hooks in songs such as "The Monarchy of Roses," "Factory of Faith" and "See You Around" – to the classic Stones albums like Exile on Main Street and Tattoo You that he listened to religiously as the Chili Peppers wrote and improvised on new material in 2009 and 2010. "It's about a feeling and a song." Flea says of the connection, "about everyone embracing the moment of the song, not always about the riff." 首支单曲"The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie"， 有着经典红椒式的funk曲风，有超杀的贝斯部，以及复古的行军式迪斯可的和弦。 Flea将此张专辑中那股丰富渐进的交互作用比喻成， the mix of jamming exploration, textural guitar details and savvy hooks， 从"The Monarchy of Roses"、"Factory of Faith"与"See You Around"， 皆可感受出Flea不但受到前人的影响，还揉合了新的元素。 Flea说道： "这是关於一种感受、一首歌，关於每个人拥抱这首曲子的时刻， 而不是单单只是弹奏技巧" The Chili Peppers are currently in rehearsals and plan to tour extensively in support of I'm With You. "Forever" is how Flea puts it. "I know when we write mediocre stuff, and when we write good stuff," Kiedis says. "I can't wait to go out and play this." 红椒们最近正紧锣密鼓的排练并准备巡回。 "永远(持续下去)" Flea说 AK："不管我们写了普通的还是好的东西，我都等不及做发表与演出。" --
