“Edible names are what drives me as a musician. My next band will be ca...” — Chad Smith Quote

“Edible names are what drives me as a musician. My next band will be called the Hot Dogs.”

“We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together; we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians.”

“Flea and Anthony are into funk, like old school Meters and stuff like that.”

“I think the first time I was at Red Rocks was my first gig as a member of the Allman Brothers Band, June of 1999.”

“Everybody in my band is a lion, and everyone's mastered their own domain... And we have a platform, and we have built it painstakingly and punched ourselves in the face every way we could to get where we are.”

“As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member.”
