A few days after the Red Hot Chili Peppers were inducted into the Cleveland Hall of Fame, they were inducted into Canadian radio station, 102.1 The Edge’s Hall of Fame as well! Another photo gallery with two videos of the event has also been added and can be seen HERE
And for those of you who are interested, Anthony Kiedis has also been spotted out and about over the last few weeks; latest news on AnthonyKiedis.net
Volunteers at local phone banks will receive free tickets to the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert Sunday at the House of Blues.

Many thanks to Andjelka, Ana Paula and Anita for info updates.
As some of you may know, our friends over at RHCP Brazil have been involved in putting together a video for ‘Did I Let You Know’ in which a number of very lucky Red Hot Chili Peppers fans from Brazil were invited to take part; here’s what they have to say about it:
Did I Let You Know – A video made by brazilian fans to celebrate the single here in Brazil. A tribute from the bottom of our hearts, a beautiful production.
Supported by Warner Brazil and Chilli Beans (who made the making of), brazilian fans of Red Hot Chili Peppers got together and recorded a music video for Did I Let You Know in tribute to the band.
Along with an unprecedented and never before seen in the country, devoted fans of the band got together in the city of Rio de Janeiro for the video shooting
Through a project called “A Mosca Sabe” (The Fly Knows) fans from all over the country were selected to be part of the video.
The project was created to gather some secrets of the fans involved on it. Doing this, the the famous fly that illustrates the cover of the latest studio album of the Chili Peppers, released in August last year, would also share a huge secret with all of them.
After months waiting, finally we are here to tell you this secret we’ve been saving for so long.
People are asking if it’s official? It’s not. But it might be someday.
Stay tuned for the subtitled version. If you don’t speak Portuguese, it will make more sense after seeing the subtitled version

RHCP’s Reaction!
Chad has just tweeted about the video:
The” Did I let you know” video. Made by our Brazilian fans is very cool! I love it! Thanks so much! Source
And Josh Klinghoffer made a lovely post about it on RHCP’s official website:
Hello there! Good morning! Right now it’s 8.56a in LA and the morning couldn’t be more perfect. There is a particular kind of morning I prefer…and this is it. After having a bit of time on my hands, yesterday saw the return of a very special thing to my life. Today shall see it as well. Making music with your friends is an unbelievable thing. A feeling you can’t find anywhere else…for me.
After having such a joyous day, as I lay my head down to sleep, I had a gander at a video for the song “Did I Let You Know” done by some wonderful people in Brazil. I just wanted to say that the smiles on all of those beautiful faces and the love that is very clear throughout that video made me a very, very happy camper. Someone should send that video to the tourist board as an advert for the incredible capacity for love and happiness the people of Brazil have. I just wanted to thank everyone who took part in that for making such a special song for me even more special. The smiles I see in that video are priceless tokens of affection. Wow, look what you making me sound like!!!
I’ll have to get Mauro to translate it for me, but this I do know…obrigado! OBRIGADO!!!!!!!!! Source
Congratulations to Altair and Ana (because I know them so well!)- they worked so hard behind the scenes organising this- and to everyone else who was involved- it’s a great testament to your love for RHCP
An interview with Chad Smith for Billboard, that’s just been released, has confirmed that John Frusciante will not be appearing with the other Red Hot Chili Peppers members when RHCP is inducted into the Rock in Rock Hall of Fame; he also confirms that Anthony Kiedis is on the mend and that the band are preparing for the release of another single off I’m With You:
That said, Smith expects the group to be on the road for most of the rest of this year. With Kiedis “on the mend,” the Chili Peppers hit the road again on March 29 in Tampa, Fla., before heading to Europe in June, with some U.S. make-up dates in August and in the fall. So a new album certainly isn’t likely until the end of 2013 at the earliest.
Meanwhile, the Chili Peppers are also prepping for the release of a another single from “I’m With You” (“Brendan’s Death Song”) as well as the group’s April 14 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Smith says the group, which on that night will also include past drummers Jack Irons and Cliff Martinez, will perform at the ceremony as well as host a private party the night before the inductions. Guitarist John Frusciante, however, will not be attending.
“He didn’t feel comfortable coming, which we totally respect,” Smith says. “We asked him… He said, ‘I’m just not really comfortable with that, but good luck and thanks for inviting me.’ It was all good. He’s the kind of guy, I think, that once he’s finished with something he’s just on to the next phase of his life. The Chili Peppers are not really on his radar right now.”
But, Smith adds, that won’t dampen the celebration in Cleveland. “I’m very pleased about it,” he says. “Music’s not a competition. Yeah, you like to win Grammys and stuff, but (the Rock Hall) is different. It’s not like the flavor of the month or the flavor of the year; it’s for a long career we’ve been fortunate enough to have. I’m very humbled, because the people who are in there…it’s not a joke. It’s very cool. So we’re looking forward to it. It’ll be a fun thing. There’s no pressure, like, ‘Are we gonna win?,’ none of that s***. We can just go and have a good time and celebrate with our friends and our families and our fans.”

Thanks to Ana and Andjelka for the heads up on this article.
I’ve had massive issues being able to post on this site and also on AnthonyKiedis.net due to changes the hosting company made to their security settings and it’s made posting on the site virtually impossible as even logging on used more than my allocated allowance on the shared server- with the possibility of the sites being taken offline (some of you may have see the ‘resource exceeded’ error message when the site was taken offline as a result of trying to post a couple of photographs). I decided it was better to leave the sites running as they were than risk them being taken offline because I’d tried to make a post. It took a while to work out where the issue was and then for the host company to be able to replicate it so they could work out exactly what was happening and change settings to rectify it (all this wasn’t helped by the death of my uncle and a close family member ending back up in rehab which meant I had weeks away from the computer while this was going on). I’ve now been told the issue has been fixed and asked to try posting to make sure… so here goes!! I had a massive catch up on AnthonyKiedis.net on Saturday with no issues so fingers crossed for here over the next few days!

Thanks to Shalhevet for reminding me to post this!
Look Around is the latest song to be chosen as a single from RHCP’s I’m With You album and two videos have now been released to accompany the song-one the actual music video and the other a behind the scenes look (both below).
The video is based upon four rooms; one for each of the four band members. Each room roughly reflects the band member it belongs too and includes their own art and belongings among the props! The band performed with each person mostly confined to their own room although Anthony Kiedis dances through the rooms at various times. It was filmed in the round in just four takes! The video was directed by Robert Hales. Source
BTW Anthony’s son Everly bear appears in the video too!
Here’s the behind the scenes video:
